Rule of Law Vetoed by President Obama
by Joel S. Hirschhorn
There are no headlines or pontificating pundits, but the real news that has become crystal clear to any but the most delusional and distracted Americans is that President Obama has no commitment to applying the rule of law where it counts. Certainly, not applying it to the large [...]
Training for war?
by Ron McBride
Every officer in the United States Army asks themselves this same question. Most rely on someone with a higher rank to tell them what to do. But eventually the higher ups reach a stopping point.
The National Training Center in Fort Irwin, CA prepares units for war, and allows them to make mistakes without [...]
I called it a corporate coup, they call it looting… either way, we got robbed…
A thief breaks into your house, steals everything, and leaves you nearly broke. Law enforcement responds by visiting with the thief and the resellers of the thief’s stolen goods in a very friendly setting, perhaps lunch at the Four Seasons. Law enforcement then takes the information to government officials who respond by writing the thief and the resellers a check from what is left of your checking account. They decide this too over lunch, perhaps also at the Four Seasons and on your dime.
My Take on Limbaugh
by Ron McBride
I have been quite silent of late, letting those evil ones hang themselves, and brother let me tell you they are doing a terrific job of doing just that.

Four Integrity Tests for President Obama
A great smile does not make a truth teller. A talker of change does not define a reformer.

Mad as the Dickens!
by Ron McBride
I am mad as the dickens over the way people who oppose President Obama have managed to control the dialogue on Television and Radio in regards to his policies.
We the grassroots that took back our country, need to step up once again and carry the fight to those right wing nuts.
We need to [...]
Conservative vs Progressive
The never ending battle continues
By Ron McBride
There are two ways to try to problem-solve ethnicity-colored conflicts, approaches that have traditionally been pegged as right and left. Or conservative and progressive. There is no conservative solution anymore. There is no “winning” an ethnic conflict by force.
Conservative, by its very definition, values tradition, the way things [...]
Politics 1st, country 2nd
By Markos Moulitsas (Kos)
In early October 2007, as the two parties locked horns in Congress over the reauthorization of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), Michigan Republican Rep. Thaddeus McCotter defined the battle as central to the very existence of the GOP.
