03/10/2010 11:34 AM The Rise of the Tea Party In less than a year well over a thousand independent groups have sprung up around the nation to organize and demonstrate against the attempted government takeover of entire industries, high taxes, crippling debt, and the agenda of President Barack Obama. While many have ridiculed and guffawed about the “teabaggers,“ these motivated and angry voters have very quickly shown the ability to raise millions of dollars, target specific political races, grab headlines and media exposure, stage large rallies, and mobilize volunteers. 03/10/2010 11:29 AM Hasan Gets Promoted, McCabe Gets the Shaft The primary job of the US military is to bring as much force to bear as is necessary to implement the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States. We recruit, motivate, train, pay, equip order and expect those brave enough to answer their country’s call to go anywhere around the world at a moments notice to kill or capture those who stand in the way of achieving those objectives. The least we, as a nation can do to support them in their mission is to refrain from second-guessing their every battlefield decision. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what America’s future politicians, the armchair quarterbacks of the JAG Corps, are doing to yet another of America’s bravest, most dedicated warriors. 03/10/2010 11:23 AM You can lead healthcare providers to reforms, but you can’t make them think All of the politics, posturing, and punditry in Washington surrounding sweeping healthcare reform fail to consider one sad, yet important, fact:  you can’t legislate common sense and customer service.  Give away health care, hand out free prescription medication, provide total access to every living human being on the planet, and you’ll still have people and processes that fail to do the jobs for which they’re paid or for which they’re designed. 03/09/2010 10:20 PM Sarah Palin is one of a kind Sarah Palin is a self made woman who marches to her own drummer. Its easy to come down on her for her couple of bad interviews or for her English grammar errors or her former ignorance of international and national politics and …oh, is that all? 03/09/2010 04:59 PM Evolutionists: An Embarrassment to Real Scientists! Hey, it’s getting embarrassing! Another “missing link” is still missing after a few months exposure to science and common sense. I am referring to Ida, revealed last spring by Norwegian paleontologist Jorn Hurum and his colleagues who assured us Ida was “an unusually complete prehistoric primate fossil.“  The dog and pony show that followed in May of 2009 on “ABC News,“ “Good Morning America,“ “Nightline,“ “A & E,“ “The New York Times,“ etc., portrayed Ida “as a blockbuster discovery nothing short of an “eighth wonder of the world” that would offer a look at one of mankind’s earliest evolutionary ancestors. Afraid not. 03/08/2010 01:31 PM Terrorists at Fla. Atlantic U Are O.K., Young Americans for Freedom VERBOTEN We send our young adults to university to be educated in the ways of the world, we all know. Following that well-worn path, young James Schackleford decided on the publicly funded Florida Atlantic University(1) for his edification and boy did he learn a lesson about modern education last week. Mr. Schackleford learned that the FAU administration prefers on its campus Islamic terrorist supporters over representatives of the conservative Young Americans for Freedom(2) organization. He also learned that it’s open season on all conservatives at our American universities. 03/08/2010 12:49 PM Today’s Revolutionary Aristocracy Liberal-progressives are a self-annointed aristocracy that presumes the right to impose its will upon our nation. 03/07/2010 08:52 PM Losing Jobs with Green technology CHURCHVILLE, VA - President Obama has allocated $4 billion in “stimulus funds” to help advance the “smart grid,“ which is intended to seamlessly integrate all our new solar and wind power into the national supply of electricity. Much of the $4 billion will be spent to install 20 million new digital “smart meters.“ These meters will instantly tell the power company how to deploy its varied generating sources most effectively. 03/07/2010 02:30 PM ‘Could Washington Threats Spell Double-Dip?‘ There’s a lot of loose talk on Wall Street right now about the risk of a double-dip recession. I’m not buying it. Now, I’m the first to admit there’s a good debate about the overall strength of the recovery rebound. But the recession ended last June, and I’m still thinking a 4 percent growth rate in 2010 is likely. That could spell another large rally in stocks. 03/06/2010 10:39 PM Virginia Decommissions the “Arts” The Lord God Almighty grants eternal life in the hereafter, but on earth it’s politicians who control immortality. So when the Virginia House of Delegates passes a budget that executes the Commission for the Arts, it’s big news.
