Within minutes of the Fort Hood tragedy, we had representatives of the government, in the military and out, avowing that the shooter simply was distressed about deploying. The response was too quick and too uniform. I am not a conspiracy theorist. George Bush and Dick Cheney did not blow up the WTC with satchel charges. I've had lunch with people who were in the Pentagon on 9/11/01 and were

The audacity of a congress to try and "sell" me on any plan is preposterous. Why is it necessary for the elitist elected to present a stage managed forum, stacked with their bought and paid audiences, to try and convince me that they know what is best for me? Why do they feel it necessary to stifle free speech that vociferously disagrees with their premise? Why are leftists who protest a war

How much of the stimulus, signed into law last week, is responsible for the stock market rebound? Zilch. Nada, Zero, Zip. The government has not sent one penny of the stimuls into the economy. Yet we are going to see them claim credit and say, "If a little worked so well, let's do it again and really get the economy going." Hold onto your wallets.

It is incredible to me that so many people are buying the class envy that is promulgated by the leftist elite. The aim seems to be to pit race against race, gender against gender, and brother against brother. This isn't a shocker but it is indicative of the lack of a quality education in the U.S. Joe Wurlzelbacher was thrust into the national spotlight last week when he asked Barack Obama a

The federally supported group ACORN has been all over the news lately for faulty votr registration. No one can say that I don't have a firm grip on the obvious. I work with a blue-dog Democrat that is trying to tell anyone who will listen that this doesn't matter. "They can sign up as many as they want and it doesn't matter because they won't be allowed to vote." That is the mantra that I

This is an urgent message about a huge medical crisis that is spreading across our country. This is a new mental illness that threatens the very foundation of our country. The symptoms are pretty much the same: a visceral hatred of G.W. Bush, an unfounded loathing of Sarah Palin, or an ignorant acceptance of the left wing media mantra of the Obama worship.Yes, I've heard about all of the

Well, I'm gong to try and wrap up everything else that we did in one post. It took us a couple of days to get out of England and into Germany. We met up with some friends of ours and spent a couple of days with them. While we were there, we toured Trier, which claims to be the oldest city in Germany. It was amazing to view the ruins from the Roman empire when Constantine wanted to make this

Our third day at the Kirklands broke with a sense of excited melancholy. The excitement of awaking in one of the most beautiful places on earth was dampened with the realization that by nightfall we would be leaving. Gill and Peter again prepared a delicious breakfast that I still miss today. Our plans for the day called for driving to Edinburgh, touring the castle, and then shopping on the

We reluctantly pulled ourselves away from Stirling Castle and started for the Wallace Monument. We made a brief stop for lunch and then followed the GPS to the foot of the hill and the Wallace car park. I know that we call them parking lots but we were in their country so we will use their terms. We bought our tickets and made a brief tour of the gift shop. There was a long line of people

We arose the next morning to what my kids described as, "...the best breakfast ever!" Gill is an incredible hostess and she prepared a stupendous breakfast, all from food grown locally. Awesome. After Breakfast, my youngest son wanted to take some pictures of grounds. They really are breath-taking when a 12 year old boy thinks they are cool.While he was taking pictures, he accidentally opened

We landed in Glasgow after a very short flight. Ryan Air is a wonderful thing. It only cost a hundred bucks to fly the five of us from London to Glasgow. We rented a car and we were soon on our way. I don't think that I'd have tried it without the Tom Tom though. We had a female voice in ours so we called it Tom Tami. We wanted to go to Luss first and she directed us down the road in just a few

Okay. It's been two months since I said that I would update on London tomorrow. I was busy. I'm sure that the casual reader will get over it. I really want to get back to political commentary but I feel it necessary to complete this first.We finally got on the bus and began our tour of London. The only complaint about the bus tour is that you usually notice something that you would like to

Monday morning began perhaps the most stressful day of our trip. The plan was to check out of billeting, catch a cab to Stanstedt Airport, store our luggage, and lastly to catch a bus to London and see as much of the centuries old city as we could in one day.We got up at 3:30 and began to make sure that we had everything. We had done most of the packing the night before and just had a few things

We arrived at Mildenhall AFB and began the theme of our vacation. It was to find a place to stay while we waited on flights. Flying space-A, you can't make too many specific plans. That means reservations. We tried to get into lodging on the base but it was full. I then called the 20 hotels listed within 20 miles and they were all full. It seems that there were four weddings that weekend and they

We started on our trip on the 19th of June. The original plan was to pick up Moneyspender and drive straight through to Dover, DE. We didn't get packed in time so we ended up about two hours late taking off. I'm a schedule kind of guy so this didn't bode well. Mapquest said that it was a 28 hour drive. We made it in 30. We started out in 6 hour shifts and had cut it to two hours by the end. It

When I decided to retire, I began saving for a retirement trip for our family. We are finally on that trip.

My apologies to Steve Martin. Did you see what Hillary's objection to making English the "official" language was? It showed her true colors. When asked if English should be the official language, Hill was so concerned that she voted against using "official" and chose instead "national" because if English is the "official" language, the government can't hire translators to work in hospitals.She

Jamison Stone, an 11 year old Alabama young man, took what may be the biggest feral hog ever. His dad has put up a website to properly honor this great achievement. Check out his site. This is the kind of adolescent that we want growing into the leaders of our country. His dad also has been kind enough to post all of the negative comments.

I just had a friend come back from training at Ft. Dix, NJ so the story that Drudge linked to about the plot to infiltrate the base and blow things up caught my eye. The blog comments complained that there were a number of omissions in the ABC story so I decided to see what other coverage was out there. Here are some of the omitted facts and who decided that you didn’t need to know them.NBC –

These esteemed liberals have just found out what it feels like to lose. Bush vetoed their "We Demand That We Lose" pullout bill. Pic is from Rush. I imagine that they would not be so glum if the terrorists were to win control of Iraq as soon as we leave. The only way for them to win is for America to lose. Defeat is the banner of their party. Are you a big enough loser to vote for them?
