This was sent to me by a dear friend. When people ask “what can we do about this?”, my standard answer is “tell others! Get the word out.” The more people that know the truth about things, the fewer will be deceived. At some point, I would just love it if people in this...
It used to be, in simpler times, people could use hyperbole in exclamations of frustration (e.g. “I’m gonna kill him for playing that prank on me!”) without striking paranoia and fear in those who heard it, and without being scrutinized as a potential murderer. Not that the person was actually going to kill anyone,...
The recent passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and the reaction–or better, lack of reaction–by the GOP’s Presidential candidates is a perfect example of how it will not matter to a Tinker’s Dam which Republican candidate wins the nomination, unless that candidate is Congressman Ron Paul. This is what so many people...

Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, “Fried chicken.” She said I wasn’t funny, but she couldn’t have been right, because everyone else laughed. My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said...

Okay, I understand…this is not a subject that many know much about and it certainly is for ‘mature readers’. However, if we don’t know how we got to the place where we are now, we really won’t understand WHERE we are and why. It is upon the ‘Kinsey’ philosophy that present-day sex education is...
As a member of the Tennessee Firearms Association, I receive periodic reports in regard to the gun issues. This report was sent today.

Now it’s my turn to lay a few lines down…and you know, I have had it. I am fed up. Look, if you want to put the environment before human development, then stop whining about the price of gasoline. Haven’t you heard that global warming is killing the planet? You think you have the...

Balanced Budget Amendment This week, the U.S. Senate voted on a Balanced Budget Amendment supported by all 47 Republicans (S.J. Res 10), and a Democrat-proposed alternative (S.J.

Wise decisions are seldom made in response to tragedy, because strong emotions interfere with clear thinking. This is how the nanny state exploits well meaning (but ignorant) people as useful idiots to support moves restricting their own freedom. Earlier this week, CFR shill Diane Sawyer reported on ABC News as the top story that...
One of the favorite plays of the insane Left and that of the Middle is that those of us on the Right are “dangerous.” We’re “radical.” We’re “wackos”who are just chomping at the bit to destroy progressive freedom, social justice, and everything else in between. In short, they, using the media, academia, health and other institutions...
