Why is anyone surprised? The entire election of Barack Obama was focused on his race and the historical nature of America's First Black President. All we ever heard was how "cool" how 'historical" it all was. Now people are shocked that the President who has based his entire Presidency to this point on the principle of divide and conquer, would make a divisive, race baiting remark. To quote a

Well ladies and gentlemen, the election is over. We all know the result and and given that you are on this site you are probably not happy with the result. However, if you truly are of a conservative mind you also must congratulate yourself. I know you must think as you read this that I am confused or delusional with grief, but ponder this. Our nation was founded on principles and ideals that

McCain's loss on election day is best thing to happen to for the conservative movement since the 1994 congressional elections.The bland, middle of the road milquetoast campaign he ran and the inevitable loss that was its result has served to directly repudiate the belief of non-conservative republicans that they can win by playing a game of me too, and by excepting the premises of the left and

Last night, while standing duty as the duty armorer and surrounded by weapons of all kinds, I could not help but think of the evil that had reared its ugly head in Virginia earlier that day. I decided that I was not going to post an opinion on the issue because, as a father of two little girls, I felt it would be a disservice to the families and friends of the victims to politicize their grief.

Sitting at the dinner table with my wife tonight, she mentioned that she had seen some news online about Rudy Giuliani getting beat up over thinking the price of milk was a $1.50. I almost choked on the glass of milk I was drinking while eating my fried ham slice and potatoes. (None of which I have any idea what I paid for and I only bought them this afternoon) The choking was caused due to the

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” - Sun Tzu, The Art of WarThese words from 2,400 years ago prove relevant once again today as they define the loss to Islamic

The Honorable Senator, and former chairmen of the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee (MILCON), Dianne Feinstein, or should I say Feinstain (as in stain of corruption) has again demonstrated her uncanny talent for blatant hypocrisy while leading the charge to bring down Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Demonstrating a talent for talking out of both sides of her mouth that would

“In the last election, the message was loud and clear: It’s time to change the way business is done in the nation’s capitol,” Senator Feinstein said. “Passage of this ethics reform package is the straightest, simplest thing we could do to show we have a different Congress in place.” http://feinstein.senate.gov/07releases/r-rules-bill.htm These words, culled from the Senate website of the

The Hilltop Children’s Center located in Seattle, Washington has recently come into the news due to the L’ego my Lego effort to ban the children’s play toy Legos from their school age care program. Apparently a project started by the children, ages 5-9 evolved into an elaborate “Lego Town” being constructed. Special legos that were rare or valued for their color or use began to take on value as

On 16 Mar 2007, the Associated Press reported that the FBI had issued a cautionary bulletin stating that suspected members of extremist groups have signed up as school bus drivers in the United States. This bulletin was followed up by a press release by FBI Special Agent and spokesman Rich Kolko stating that, "Parents and children have nothing to fear." Kolko continued, stating that, "There are
