You’ve seen this famous statue found in front of the Rockefeller Center, haven’t you? Is this Greek mythological character really a super hero to today’s progressives? In looking around the Internet, my answer would be an emphatic yes. He was a favorite of Karl Marx, which may explain his enduring popularity among the left. From [...]
Young Conservatives Take On The Texas Tech Tornado
April 30, 2010 By Leave a Comment
It’s called the “Tornado of Ideas” and it’s a sculpture on the Texas Tech campus that cost about $142,000. It was commissioned in 2004 and created by Bronx, NY artist Tom Otterness. Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it, a “tornado” of clashing ideas? It might bring to mind a place of higher learning where students are encouraged [...]

April 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment
When it comes to rushing through the new financial reform bill, could it be we are suffering short term memory loss?

Why Won’t Obama Let Me Spread the Wealth??
April 19, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I don’t know about you, but I am getting mixed messages. I thought Obama told Joe the Plumber, “when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.” And then, if I recall, Obama’s good friend and appointee Van Jones told us to “Give them the wealth! Give them the dignity!” In our family, we’ve [...]

April 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Today’s big headline on Drudge: “Arizona Police to Begin Arresting Illegals”. When you stop and think about it, it’s almost comical that it is a controversial headline for a state to enforce the law, but you can bet it is.
Get ready for the onslaught of the usual arguments on profiling, racism, “doing the jobs Americans [...]
Do We Want Teachers or Progressive “Change Agents”?
April 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment
This week, Kathleen McKinley passed along a story from texasgopvote.com about a disturbing curriculum being used in a San Antonio high school classroom. Teacher Barbara Geerdes’ lessons on the philosophical difference between conservatives and liberals could not have been more one-sided and inaccurate. It even incorporates a cartoon of an angel to represent liberals, while conservatives [...]
Black Liberation Theology, Kenya, and the Obamas’ “Spiritual Homeland”
April 5, 2010 By 1 Comment
Many of the blogs today are buzzing with an old video of Michelle Obama, recognizing Kenya as Obama’s “home country”:
Not surprisingly, this “home country” portion was omitted on Obama’s own Facebook page.
Many of the birthers are taking this as an admission of him being born in another country, but that is not what this is [...]
Guantanamo: No More Going to Rehab, Baby
March 31, 2010 By Leave a Comment
This past week, it is being reported that Guantanamo detainees being released are returning to terrorist activity in far greater numbers than had been expected.
In our attempt to take the high road, please other nations, and keep the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) happy we continue to set ourselves up for new attacks from the [...]
