Millions of American jobs have been lost in the last few years. Shipped to China, Mexico, or other places with cheap labor, miniscule taxes, and impotent governments. The places which took American jobs, all had several things in common. Things which America used to possess, but no longer has. Skill? Ability and desire to […]
No, not Italy under Mussolini, but Washington D.C., under the Obama regime. Look at how the dictionary defines fascism: “A system of government characterized by a rigid, one party dictatorship, forcible suppression of opposition, private economic enterprise under centralized governmental control.” That about wraps it up, doesn’t it? Think about it and weep. How […]
No, not the idiots in D.C., but since this is the Christmas season, I am talking about the wise men in the Matthew account of Jesus’ birth. Of the four Gospels, neither Mark nor John mention the birth. Only Matthew and Luke, with Luke giving the most elaborate and detailed account. The first chapter […]
The Dictionary defines a fad as: “..passing fashion, or a craze.” What’s the latest fad? It’s EARTH WARMING! It’s all the buzz around the news programs, Copenhagen, National Geographic even, and all of the ’approved’ scientific circles. The earth is warming, and carbon dioxide is killing us. We’ve got to stop burning coal, pass […]
What is that? The 17th Amendment to our Constitution was voted upon and ratified in that magic year of 1913. 1913 is the year the Federal Reserve and the 16th Amendment were passed. The 16th, of course, is the income tax Amendment, which was never legally ratified, although the Supremes say it was. To […]
What is? Washington D.C., that’s what. Just think about Obama’s speech, as a classic example, or for that matter, his and the George Bush entire four year term. Might as well throw in senior Bush, Carter, LBJ and back to JFK for that matter, because JFK was probably the best we have had since […]
REMEMBER! These columns are my opinions only. I think every word I write is true, or I wouldn’t write them. So with that warning, let me tell you my opinion about a matter that affects hundreds of thousands of unfortunate homeowners who are in foreclosure. I’m not, and I’m sure you the reader aren’t […]
I read lot, and read fast. 40-50 books a year. Not novels, but history, railroads, architecture, economics, politics, etc. I love reading! Sarah Palin’s new book, “Going Rogue” is on the best seller lists. It’s a big hit, and I know why. I liked her instantly when she gave that speech accepting the nomination. […]
“I would remind you that extremism in defense of liberty is no vice, and let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” – Barry Goldwater Agree? I do! Loved than man! Let’s look at various forms of extremism. Extreme meat haters are called ’veggies,’ and the […]
You have to be pretty old to remember SNAFU. Like me, maybe. SNAFU was a WW II term, which meant “Situation normal, all F***ed up.” Pretty accurate description of what’s going on now, isn’t it? With the tungsten 400 oz gold bars, as an example. There are a lot of them out there, and […]
