America Works – Just Not Perfectly!

  (Picture James Bo-Insogna Striking Photography)   America works!   Too many of us are told that some “ism” disproves all this nation represents. This leads to millions of resentful folks who can be marched to a socialist tune in a heart beat. Socialists LOVE discontent.   It’s where they plant their seeds against traditional values and the free market. Notice they NEVER show up as much when times are good? My grandfather encountered the Depression Era variety as a student at a historically Black college. They used Jim Crow as a recruitment attempt and plied young Black scholars with...

Whose Side Are They On?

  For years, conservatives have voted for the Republican Party, even as the Republicans were in a race to outspend the Democrats, slowly surrender in the culture war, and throw conservatives under the bus to be seen as reasonable to the media.   We keep seeing them foist moderate presidential candidates while telling us that the conservative candidates were “unelectable.” They’ve done the same thing with Senate candidates.

Gun Control Means Using Both Hands

  According to conventional wisdom, kids will have sex regardless of their parents’ wishes, so we should provide them with access to birth control, condoms and instruction manuals, all now considered a human right at the U.N.  This makes sex safer for children.   Similarly, many of our children will possess guns, regardless. Others grow up to become gun owners.  Certainly the improper use of firearms is even more dangerous than the improper use of a condom!  Responsible gun ownership is both a right and a responsibility of citizenship. The way forward is clear – we must use our schools to train...
