Yes, this war.  And before you jump and say "AHA!", better remember what "this war" is all about.  It is not about Iraq or Afghanistan.  It is about Terror.  Plain and simple.  Some people cannot understand the difference between a battle and a war.  Which is kind of funny.  For if we had confused that 140 years ago, the Confederacy would still exist.  They won the battles, just not the war. But this war is looking like Vietnam.  How? There are ...

Right or wrong, and I will not take a stand here, this is why there needs to be a national concensus.  At the least. It seems that a Virginia Gay Couple decided to go to Vermont to get "Unionized".  3 years later they split up.  The Virginia Courts (not the most conservative, but definitely not liberal) adjudicated the issue and awarded sole custody to the Biological mother.  The other fought and lost at every turn.  Until she went back to Vermont.  Where the Ver...

Apparently the ACLU (The clueless union) thinks so!  They have decided that the mayor of Jackson Mississippi, trying to reduce the crime in his city, has been racial profiling Blacks.  The sticky whicket is that he is Black!  And he is decrying the Black on Black Crime!  So of course the perpertrators are going to be black! But the ACLU has decided that you cannot stop black on black crime as that is racial profiling! (that is why we search 70 year old norwegian grand moth...

I recently wrote an article that basically said if Cuba Attacked us, what would we do.  It garnered some responses, but no real debate.  Yet we have a real scenario where we see a "Cuba" bombing the hell out of a "Miami".  And I see the results. And I cannot fathom it.  War is not the answer.  But when it is the only alternative, why condemn the defenders?  Because they can then take the war to the other territory?  That is not the mark of an aggressor. ...

For many years now, the US has not drilled off any coast, nor built a refinery.  Yet the population grows and the demand soars.  We are being held captive by a few environmental whackos.  Pure and simple. So how far off the coast is far enough?  I saw one that said 225 miles.  But how far does an oil slick spread?  How many oil slicks did Wilma, Rita and Katrina cause?  They sure ripped apart a couple of states, but those still wondering, zero. So how far...

Let it be known.  I dont like Robert Wexler.  I think he is a complete toady of the loony left.  Let it be known. But I saw the clips of his Stephen Colbert show, and you know what?  I would like to have a beer with him!  I still dont like him, but I do admire his willingness to once in awhile say "what the hell", and have fun!  IN this instance he gets 2 thumbs up from me! But not from some unfortunately, and many of them on the left.  SO what is all thi...

Ok, they have not.  But a question.  Mostly for those who are quick to condemn Israel. If Cuba did, what should be our response?  Seriously.  This is open to all nationalities.  What should America do?  Should we ignore them?  Even tho a few dozen people die? Or should we retaliate?  And if so what should the retaliation be? If A country (and Cuba is just the scapegoat as it is the closest and whackiest) decides to light up our sky with death.&nbs...

Thanks to Trudy for bringing up this rant ( http://trudygolightly.joeuser.com/index.asp?aid=124114  ) Back in the early 90s, Congress Passed and Clinton signed a law that taxes telephones.  It was called the Universal Access Tax, and it was designed to fund education.  How? It was designed to fund schools and libraries in getting connected to the Internet.  And to the tune of about $2.5+ billion a year, it started collecting the dough and pumping out money.  And 12...

Our beloved idiot of a governor, who refuses to acknowledge one of his predecessors, has opined that "It is all a faycade".  Whoops!  Sorry, wrong idiocy. No, our Illuminati of ignorance.  Our king of idiocy.  Our beloved lover of broken promises lies and stupidity has endorsed another 25 years of segregation in the US by endorsing the latest Voting Rights Act Extension.  His illustrious idiotness has stated: "Unfortunately, the Voting Rights Act is as necessary ...

I heard a talk show host talking about the World Cup.  And he was yuck yucking about The French and the Head Butting Episode.  But then he said something that made me stop and consider. He said the French were the most liberal society out there! Discounting Communism (which is just a despotic dictatorship anyway), he is right. During 04, Kerry was called the "French Candidate".  Mostly for his snobbish ways.  But it stuck.  Then we had Dean that decides that all wh...

Harry Reid is threatening to block the congressional raise that the fat cats have voted themselves unless congress passes a new Minimum Wage law.  GREAT.  The last people who deserve a raise is those tin plated buffoons!  And if it takes an impotent threat by Reid (he cannot block the house raise as each house does its own thing even if they usually do it together) to kill their pay raise, I am all for it. But I am afraid the Caspare milquetoasts of republicans will cave. ...

Back in the days before the Civil war, there was generally considered to be 2 kinds of blacks.  Free Men and slaves.  Free Men, through work or a twinge of conscious of their former masters, were just that.  Free people.  And as such, they enjoyed all the rights granted to other citizens of the US.  They could vote, they could own property, they could marry and raise a family.  They were citizens. After the war, all the blacks were Free Men (Men used in this sens...

Quick.  For anyone over 30, what was the big boogie man of the 80s?  Anyone? Well, for those of us around, and objective enough to understand what happened during the 80s, the answer is easy.  It was Thermonuclear war, and a Cowboy in the White House that was going to bring it about.  Except that Cowboys name was not Bush (not even Bush41), but Reagan.  And so in 1983, we were blessed with the 80s version of "The Day After Tomorrow" and "An Inconvenient Truth".  ...

This is in response to Col Klink.  As I have not read his article, I cannot say that he is totally incompetent, but I can say with authority (as I am an Economist by education) that he is indeed clueless. First, the differentiation between micro and macro is the difference between personal choice and nation choice.  That is, I chose to shop Wally world because they give me the best bang for my buck.  That is Micro.  America buys a lot from China because they are cheapest.&...

Ted Matthews, aka Tim Kaine, governor of Virginia, broke his first campaign promise in a record 6 days.  A record that will last many years I am sure.  With over 3 1/2 years to go, Ted Matthews is well on his way to breaking every promise he made during the Governor's race as he once again decided that his faith was more important than the law, after promising to uphold the law. Which does beg the question of how good his faith is (apparently it is selective as well since he support...
