The current complaint by the left wing is that there is too great a gap between the rich and poor, and that’s why we have so many poor people. The rich have all the money and won’t give any to the poor, or some such nonsense. Let’s review a bit of history. My […]
I think we’ve established that government schools are a disaster, but let’s take a quick look at post-secondary institutions. First off, God forbid you are not a leftist entering college. If you believe in right and wrong, or that America is exceptional, or that your race shouldn’t define you, you will be vilified by the […]
The problem with 95% of Republicans, is that they go along with the democrat socialists in everything, but seem to do it a bit less. The result is what we have now; namely a huge population of welfare recipients, $18 trillion current debt, and $200 trillion long term debt which government has committed to, such […]
Anyone with eyes and ears realizes by now that government schools are an utter disaster on every level. Every year we spend more and continue to lose ground to the rest of the civilized world. Every year we continue to pass ?students? who do not produce passing work just so the school districts can keep […]
The Harley Davidson motorcycle has a wonderful American history. Millions have been sold. A few bad years, but they’re really popular with some people. When a Harley comes from the factory, it is quiet, smooth, and beautiful. 99% of owners absolutely refuse to leave them as quiet bikes. 99% of buyers and owners […]
The signs are unavoidable. We will soon be fighting in Iraq and Syria. The only good thing Obama has done is say that it’s there problem, not ours and they should solve it themselves, with our supplies, arms, etc. As I have said a million times, it’s the Sunnis against the Shiites. The Saudis are […]
Driving home from my in-laws last night, we passed a group of Madison’s finest (AKA the police) setting up a speed trap near our home. This is a very common experience around here, especially on a specific stretch of roadway called Highway M. In the interest of full disclosure, I did receive a speeding ticket […]
The unfortunate crash of AMTRAK train # 188, is inexcusable. I happen to be knowledgeable railroad buff-fan-expert, or what have you, and I know that track. Trains leave Philly’ ’s 30th St. Station, and head in a northwest direction, basically following the Schuylkill river. Next it passes the Philly zoo, and then "Zoo Tower," where the track […]
A quick post office horror story; actually two related stories: A customer who regularly sells through us called me about a week after I’d sent his check out. He was rightfully concerned about the status of his payment and I checked my records and saw that the check had indeed been sent out a week […]
Slavery in any form is an awful thing. From an American perspective, the period where blacks were held as slaves, and bought and sold like cattle remains the worst stain on our existence, in my opinion. I can imagine from a black person’s perspective it must be worse! Even after slavery officially ended, being told […]
