…ies of every man, woman and child who gave their lives in the name of liberty. It is not those who disagree with the government that need to be singled out and brought to everyone’s attention but those who, under the guise of patriotism, try to suppress it. “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Said by a great American. It’s obvious all of you on Capitol Hill have for…

I ‘m sure a great many of us wished someone a better year than the one before when offering New Years salutations. It’s something we all hope for especially in these troubling times. But will 2012 be a better year than 2011? Well if you believe all the nonsensical hype around the Mayan calendar ending and the foretelling of doom and destruction…No it won’t be a good year. But we don’t need any mystical mumbo jumbo all we need to do is read th…

Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer were the “Dynamic Duo” for the Democratic Party here in California. They were single handedly responsible for keeping the state Democratic for the last 2 decades. But if politics has taught us anything it teaches us that times eventually change. With Barbara Boxer’s close brush with defeat last year it is now Dianne Feinstein’s turn at the podium. After an 18 year run as the Senator from California most feel…

The Iowa Caucuses are now behind us and as I look at the results I wonder why a lot of us were so excited about them. Their results have told us nothing most of us didn’t already know. Mitt Romney will be the choice to go against Obama. It also confirmed a lot of us are not very happy with the candidates in general. I also think a lot of us know, unless the United States has a major catastrophe in the next year Mitt Romney will not beat Bara…

I got a letter the other day from the “esteemed” Governor from the State of California, Edmund G. Brown Jr. Usually when I get a letter from a political party, candidate or sitting official it takes a one way trip to the shredder unopened; then right to the recycling bin. This letter however slipped through and was opened with the rest of my mail. I figured since it was open I may as well read it; I needed a good laugh anyway. Well I got one …

A year ago this week those words quickly made their way across the news wires and air waves all over the world. Those words made heroes out of men who already had that status but now the whole world new. What they knew was Osama Bin Laden had been found by the United States and killed. But as one chapter ended that day several others began. And one was slowly becoming very disturbing. The good news was Bin Laden had been neutralized; his reig…

“No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.” That now famous quote is attributed to the colorful General George S. Patton. When you think about it there is a lot of truth in what he said. Unfortunately it’s also easier said than done. The cold, hard facts are, in wars people die. Today, November 11th is Veterans Day, a day we have put aside to honor…

September 30th, 2010 Christine O’Donnell……..What can you say; after all she was endorsed by Sarah Palin. That right there should send up all sorts of red flags. Let’s see…this may take a while people so please get comfortable. Let’s start with her views on sex….oh I already covered that in my premier article of “This, That and the Other Thing” so let’s move on. Evolution. According to O’Donnell evolution is a myth. Why? Not because of any…

Two weeks later on April 9th allied forces triumphantly drove into the Iraqi capital of Bagdad. On Friday October 21st, 2011 President Barack Obama told the United States people and the world that all US ground forces, some 50 thousand troops, will be out of Iraq by year’s end; thus endi…
