A few weeks ago, I said in this column, “It is far more important who is elected as your governor than who is elected President. It is far more important who is elected as your State attorney general than who is appointed US attorney general. It is far more important who is elected to...
There is an African proverb which goes like this: A wise man never knows all, only fools know everything. I have mentioned before that all of us are leaders–we are all influencing someone, someplace, somehow. Because all things rise and fall on leadership, I feel we should be on an unending pursuit to learn...

What is it that scares people when I say limited government? Do you think of private roads, private police force, and murder in the streets? Sorry, we already have that don’t we! No really, what is it that scares you so much that you would go out of your way to avoid it, even...
NASHVILLE – The Beacon Center of Tennessee today released a publication telling the stories of two Tennessee farmers who could be harmed by the state’s onerous death tax.

I’m proud to be a member of Tennessee Firearms Assoc. All who say they wish to help do their part in improving the laws that govern our rights to carry and the laws that apply should join this fine organization. I’d say it’s as much if not more important than the two national pro-gun...
Cold Case Posse reveals Obama’s documents are forgeries U.S. Senator James Inhofe, R-Okla., has a book coming out titled “The Greatest Hoax,” addressing the fraud behind the global warming scandal and President Obama’s pressing plans for a global carbon tax and onerous regulations to effect the largest wealth redistribution in history.

By David Limbaugh Now hear this: No Republicans on the national political scene, including Rick Santorum, threaten our religious liberty. Many Democrats, including President Obama and Senate Democrats, do. And they’ve struck again with the Senate’s defeat of the Blunt amendment. President Obama, who seems to spend as much time community organizing as he...
GOA petitions the House Speaker to move the Gosar Resolution It’s becoming obvious that the corrupt, virulently anti-gun Attorney General Eric Holder thinks he can stonewall Congress in connection with his cover-up of the Fast & Furious Operation. That Justice Department program sent over 2,000 illegal firearms to Mexican drug cartels, leaving over 300...
Political Futures “Many people are looking to the many primary elections on March 6th — ‘Super Tuesday’ — to clarify where this year’s Republican nomination campaign is headed. It may clarify far more than that, including the future of this nation and of Western civilization. If a clear winner with a commanding lead emerges,...
Harvard professor Dershowitz says Media Matters has crossed line ‘into anti-semitism’ Harvard University professor Alan Dershowitz alleged Friday that Media Matters has “crossed the line into anti-semitism” by tolerating an employee who uses charged language to criticize supporters of Israel.

It’s amazing to me how people who claim they don’t trust the media will still parrot their sound bites as though they were facts. If they lied about Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Mohamar Kadafi, et al (and they did), why would they make an exception for Ahmadinejad and tell the truth about him?...
Around the turn of the millennium I had the privilege of tutoring a woman from Iran in assembler, a low- (i.e. closer to machine-) level computer language that isn’t user friendly, but appeals to some geeks and is a part of some college computer courses.

By Walter E. Williams Rick Santorum’s speech at the Detroit Economic Club stirred a bit of controversy when he said: “I’m not about equality of result when it comes to income inequality.

Yesterday! The Good News is that today is our 53th Anniversary. The Not-So-Good News is that Ron is in the hospital.

Gun Owners of America today sent an Open Letter to Gov. Mitt Romney, asking him — yet again — to submit his survey responses to GOA.
“We sent you a questionnaire not once, not twice but three times now,” said GOA Vice Chairman Tim Macy.
“What did you send back? A form letter stating you are pro-Second Amendment — with absolutely nothing to back up this laughable claim. As Governor, you were proudly anti-Second Amendment, but as you have with most issues, you have now changed your stripes to spots.”
GOA has posted a description of Romney’s Second Amendment record at: http://gunowners.org/mittromney-2012.htm
In this analysis, you will see his past support for all of Massachusetts’ strict gun control laws, including his support for semi-auto bans and waiting periods.
Mitt Romney said in a recent speech that he was “severely conservative” as Governor of Massachusetts. But if that’s true, then why is he steadfastly refusing to answer the Gun Owners of America questionnaire on Second Amendment issues?
GOA’s Tim Macy asks: “Do you want to clear up this possible misconception I (and most members of Gun Owners of America) have about you? If you do, then call me at (916) 984-1400. Even better, why don’t you fill out one of the THREE GOA questionnaires we’ve sent to you so that millions of American gun owners will know where you stand?”
GOA would ask its members to forward our open letter — which can be read at http://gunowners.org/open-letter-romney.htm — to Gov. Romney.
You may contact Mitt Romney at:
Please let us know of any response you get from Gov. Romney. And be sure to forward the Open Letter to your friends and family
Because Americans seem to have been conditioned to think only in terms of short term self-interest, to mentally follow through an idea to its logical conclusion is foreign to them. A couple of commercials in recent years illustrating the lighter side of the latter include one wherein two strangers, a man and woman briefly...

Obama and Romney lay out tax plans The tax proposals of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney serve as alternative visions for the nation. Obama’s stifles growth through higher rates on the productive and pays lip service to “fairness” and “fiscal responsibility.” Romney’s enables growth and builds upon the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and...

Congress: Radically speaking there is a generation of sexually diverse individuals attempting to change the laws in the United States by using the United States Congress and they have a plan: Indoctrinate an entire generation of American children with pro-homosexual propaganda and eliminate traditional values from American society.

Since my dad was a doctor, I got stuck with the label known to every doctor’s son. But, much to the neighbor’s disappointment, the title didn’t stop me from being my mischievous little self. I can’t count the times I heard, “Frank, you’re a doctor’s son. You should be an example.” But I didn’t...

“Americans are tolerant, generous, and kind people. We all oppose bigotry and disparagement, and we all wish to avoid hurtful disregard of the feelings of others. But the debate over ‘same-sex’ marriage is not a debate over tolerance, it is a debate about the purpose of the institution of marriage.” Chris Stovall, an attorney...
In the last quarter of the eighteenth century the American Founders created a government based on the belief that human happiness is intimately connected with personal freedom and responsibility. The twin pillars of the system they created were limits on the power of the central government and protection of individual rights. Some people, including myself,...
Several years agoThe Jackson Sun (trash as it is) published what we in the publishing business call a filler article.

If the scientific community is correct, then man has been around for roughly 4800 years. Yet it wasn’t until 1791 A.D. that our nation’s Bill of Rights was added to our Constitution. So, what did the Bill of Rights do; did it introduce a new profound idea, that being that men have rights; or...

Written by Joe Wolverton, II Since the early days of this Republic, various of our Founding Fathers were accused of being irreligious, impious, and even atheist. Those accusations are unsupportable lies told by those whose own “tolerance” of the faithful informs not only their personal agendas, but taints and twists their biographical descriptions of...
In Jack Hunter’s new Daily Caller, he argues that Rick Santorum, like Mitt Romney, is a “big-government conservative” and an “agent of the GOP establishment.” “The debate in the Republican Party should be between conservatives and libertarians because we have no money”… which Romney and Santorum do not profess to be. Both have spent their...

There may have been a time when the words “conservative” and “liberal” meant something, but that time is no more. Today, “conservatives” in government are doing as much to promote Big Government, as are “liberals.” In fact, if one were to honestly evaluate the twelve years of the George Herbert Walker Bush and G.W....
There is probably no federal district court in the country which is more important than the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, in downtownManhattan.
