Anthony There are certainly a bunch of hope/change zombies out there, but Obama's drop in polls is a solid sign that he is losing at least some support. There will be folks that will go down with the Oama ship that is for sure. Thanks for reading...

Great article, thanks for sharing...I hope and pray that you are right, unfortunately as I look around, I still see people mesmorized by the mania of Obama. I'm not sure if they are just blind followers, willfully ignorant or just plain stupid. T...

Where’s Your Grit?

America, where is your character, your pluck, your grit? If that question seems overly harsh and needlessly aggressive, then you are staring directly at the problem. This nation sits at the precipice of a fundamental, irreversible transformation that will make all too visible a new country that is incontrovertibly “one nation under a spineless, politically correct, brow-beaten, emasculated bunch of sheep.” Is that too harsh? If you believe my words are too offensive, that I should tone it down,… Continue

Review: 2009 documentary “What’s the Matter with Kansas?” Buckle up

Sometimes being right is personally rewarding, sometimes it’s of financial benefit, and sometimes, unfortunately, it’s just downright painful. I recently wrote an article, “What’s Still The Matter With Thomas Frank?” about the upcoming (at the time) documentary by filmmakers Laura Cohen and Joe Winston, inspired by Thomas Frank’s 2004 bestselling book, “What’s the Matter with Kansas?” The article I wrote caused a minor brouhaha with the filmmakers, who posted a commentary rebuttal and a photo of… Continue

Observing the Blitzkrieg: The Barack Obama Way

In the midst of the fight over whether or not the United States should, or should not, turn our medical system into a socialistic bread line, or whether the administration should heed the request for additional troops in Afghanistan, Barack Obama feels compelled to add to his strategic plate, the gay question. One could say that Obama’s recent move to change the military’s standing “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy for homosexuals serving in the armed forces has been sparked by the recent unrest of… Continue

A Return To The Planet Of The Apes

“It’s a mad house, a mad house!” These were the words shouted from the lips of Charlton Heston in the 1968 movie release, Planet of the Apes. Heston, who played the character of astronaut George Taylor, found himself in a future Earth where apes ruled the land and humans, and their past culture, were considered evil taboo. Ah, science fiction, such a wondrous escape from reality, right? What happens when fiction and reality begin to overlap? What happens when they become one and the same?

Befor… Continue

What’s Still The Matter With Thomas Frank?

Ah, Kansas, the home of hard working, god-fearing, regular average Americans. You would never know that if you read Thomas Frank’s bestselling book “What’s the Matter With Kansas?” Frank paints the picture of the plains state as a land of conservative morons who self abuse themselves by following evil Republicans, who use trickery to create a backlash effect to past liberal doctrines. As a Kansan who read Frank’s book cover to cover, and had been besmirched by the demeaning description of Kansas… Continue

Without Almighty God, our Christian Constitutional Republic cannot be restored!
“In God We Trust”, “Perhaps even more than the Constitution the Bible is our founding document”, “You do well to wish to learn our arts and our ways of life, and above all the religion of Jesus Christ(George Washington)”,”It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionist, but by Christians, not on religions; but on the gospel of Jesus Christ(Patrick Henry)!”

Thank you for your work! Adult discussions of the issues are especially needed at this time,and I also believe an injection of humor is needed (from WFB old-school punditry to PJ O'Rourke to Alonzo Rachel and Steven Crowder web vids."Happy warriors" is a bit of a cliche,but I think it works best.
