The Wages of Courage

The Wages of Courage

Posted by | Nov 10, 2013 | , |

I have a friend who served as a United States Marine in the Iraqi Province of Al Anbar. He had a front-row seat at the battle of Fallujah. He used to be a jovial, conversant fellow. Since he returned from the Service, he’s more remote. His laughter seems like an after-thought. Concentration comes hard – he doesn’t hear much of the small-talk that goes on around him. He’s become a bit listless. I wouldn’t call him depressed, exactly, but I think he sees the world through a different set of eyes than do I. I see my family out...

Night of the Living Obamacare

Night of the Living Obamacare

Posted by | Oct 31, 2013 | , |

“They’re coming to get you, Barbara.” So begins the terror of Night of the Living Dead. Obamacare is coming to get you, too. Watch your six all you want – you won’t be able to stop it. You’ll see it coming but it’s already too late – you’re a dead man walking. Zombie-like, it will go after you. It won’t stop until it’s got you. It will eat your heart out. Its unthinking regulations will squeeze the life out of you with mindless iteration. It will suck out your identity and spit it on the ground for all the...

There once was a servant who had a master. The master was kind and spent his days caring for his business. The master told his servant, “I’m a busy man. I do not need you to take care of me, but to secure the fence, the property, and the road; so that I may conduct business and care for my family.” The servant vowed to do this for a simple sum.

Motown – Dead Ahead! Keep Left!

Motown – Dead Ahead! Keep Left!

Posted by | Aug 6, 2013 | |

  If there’s anything to be learned from the downfall of Motown, the former jewel of American free enterprise, it’s that we need more unfettered government interference in our nation and its cities, right?   Or not! But this is what we’re hearing now – it’s the market’s fault. Clearly though, that’s just an excuse. Something else must be going on here, because somehow – absent any kind of government coercion, regulation, redistribution, or health-care program – Detroit came to be in the first place. Absent government control, the automobile industry sprang forth. Absent government regulation, the city developed....

A New Name for the Tea Party

A New Name for the Tea Party

Posted by | Jul 9, 2013 | |

  Documented in a recent article at The Blaze, bestselling author Brad Thor made this suggestion – “It’s Time for Tea Party to Consider a New Name.”    It’s about the importance of marketing – how conservatives should get on board and use some of the tactics of the left such as Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.”   http://youtu.be/rUc4lkAcaGs   The Tea Party actually represents most Americans, but having been demonized by the ‘main-stream media,’ the ‘drive-by press,’ the ‘lapdogs of Big Government,’ most people don’t know this. A rebranding is called for – a new name, a second chance...
