Have had a lot of thoughts over the past few days and weeks about the upcoming presidential election, and the general state of America.If you've ever read "Isaiah's Job" by Alfred Jay Nock, and you found it resonated with you, then this video may interest you t...

Thoughts about this Tuesday's elections
So... what's my take on what will happen two days from now at the polls here in the United States?The Democrats are going to get pounded. They have basically become the party of three things: Hate Trump, wasteful spending, and promoting what can only be described as child pornography (especially the "transgender" madness). They believe that anger over Roe v. Wade getting overturned is going to be enough to energize whatever base they...

The photo that convinced me Trump will win again in 2020
It's a line from a They Might Be Giants song: "Politics bore me". And that's where I've found myself lately in life: dulled out of my skull by politics. Or at least politics as most people buy into. For quite awhile I've noted that I'm more interested in ideas, not "ideologies". And one comforting consequence has been that during the past four years...

YouTube Video: Analysis Of The #WalkAway Movement
A few weeks ago on American Thinker, I wrote an article about how the Democrat Party is tearing itself apart. And in all sincerity that's unfortunate, because I do believe there are good people within that organization (just as there would be in most political parties in America). However the rising tide of bitterness, rancor, hatred and even suggestions of violence...

Got a new article up at American Thinker
"Frankenstein's Body Politic" is about something I've been pondering for some time: that the two major parties have each in their own way been self-destructing these past few years. Except in contrast to my prognostication four years ago, the Republicans have avoided that fate (for now), while the Democratic Party is coming apart in drastic fashion.
An excerpt from the...

Too many candidates? How to remedy the presidential debates
In the past few days I've seen a lot of commotion about the first Republican presidential "debate", set for a few months from now. The biggest deal is about the number of candidates who may appear on the stage: some are counting as many as 19. And there's the mess going on right now with George Stephanopoulos: the ABC whateverhedoes and how he donated $75,000 to the Clintons: common sense would be that no "journalist" that blatantly compromised...

Cruz-controlled? Candidate holds Liberty hostage
Let me preface this by saying this: that I've been watching Ted Cruz for a long time and though we may not agree on everything, I believe that he is an exceptional leader. Dare I say even "statesman"? Among other things he and I are on the same level when it comes to repealing Obamacare. It's broken, it has been broken from its inception, and it will continue to be the most enormous disaster of American government ever if it persists. ...

You voted Republican last month? Why?
I'm going to say something right now, and I don't care if it offends
ANY body. If it happens to offend you, good: maybe you NEED offending
to open your eyes...
There is NO difference at all between the
Democrat and Republican parties and anyone who puts the SLIGHTEST amount
of trust in one party or the other... and I'm going to single out those
who support the Republican party especially... are worse than fools and
idiots.
For the past...

We are supposed to be better than this...
What I'm about to say is going to get me in a whole lotta trouble with some people. But it's way past time that it be said...
There are two groups of people in America who have been taken for a
ride by either of the two major parties. They have been taken advantage
of at practically every turn. They have been promised everything and
have been given nothing.
I speak of Christians being held captive by the Republican party and of those of...

Senator Burr calls defunding ObamaCare "dumbest idea" ever (this is leadership?)
Longtime readers of this blog know that I don't play the partisan game. And I haven't bought into the "conservative/liberal" mentality for a very long time. Regardless of affiliation, we should expect all of our elected officials to put the Constitution and liberty of the American people ahead of their political agendas.
Senator Richard Burr(North Carolina):...

American politics: How to level the playing field
The game is rigged. We all know it.
So why do we tolerate it?
America owes the old Soviet Union an apology. At least the Soviets had one party rule and were honest about it.
Tomorrow is the national election day in the United States. But nothing will substantially change as a result of it. The two major parties, corporate interests and the mainstream media have perpetrated...

over-extended militarily.Companies will keep relocating their production
overseas.Children in our schools will continue to be taught to
obey and not question instead of encouraged to think for themselves.Government...

Two small musings on politics
Voting in America has devolved into middle-school immaturity: dominated by petty cliques, peer pressure and lots of masturbation (figuratively, thank goodness...).Allow me to remark that I know lots of real middle-schoolers, mostly from community theater... and they ALL act more mature than the voting adults are right now!Then I have to observe that the vast majority of political news, indeed news that passes for "top stories" among the television/print/major...

Maine Republicans make WORLD OF WARCRAFT a political scandal
The Republican Party has for decades struggled with a public image - an inaccurate and even slanderous one, I will note - that it is an organization bent against the rights of minorities, women, pretty much anyone not Anglo-Saxon Protestant.And then the Maine Republican Party messes it all up by coming out as anti-Orc Assassins.Maine state Senate candidate Colleen Lachowicz...

About the Republican National Convention...
Since three readers have asked me this afternoon what I think about the Republican National Convention going on right now in Tampa... and about the crazy rules changes that the Romney camp seems to be hellbent on implementing... maybe that means I'm supposed to post something.So here it is:It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Republican party were to split apart after this election, and maybe even before then.If so, I can't see how that would be...

A question about Paul Ryan
Longtime readers of this blog know that I'm for fiscal conservatism and letting the free market be responsible for itself, without government interference. Meaning that among other things that I've never thought anything favorable about government bailout programs.A few days ago Mitt Romney, the assumed Republican candidate for President, announced that Paul Ryan would be his running mate in this fall's election.Paul Ryan is being touted as a "Tea...

And pray at the Republican convention too, right? Right? Hello...?
A few weeks from now, on the eve of the Democrat National Convention starts in Charlotte, an event called Charlotte714 will be held at the Verizon Wireless Ampitheatre.Here is how it's being described by USNews.com...On the night before the Democratic convention in Charlotte, at the tip of America's bible belt, more than 40 evangelical, Baptist and other Christian churches will host a massive church service in the 20,000 seat Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre."Charlotte714,"...

America: Death by inconsistency
Louisiana College, a private Baptist school, is suing the federal government over the requirement that religious-affiliated hospitals and organizations must fund contraceptives as part of health care, even in spite of strong beliefs against such measures. Louisiana College and other religious organizations are quick to note that Obama's "healthcare" mandate violates their constitutional rights.Doug Powers notes that the mainstream media is giving...

Obama's recess appointments: I smell hypocrisy
So it's coming out that a bunch of Republicans, including senators Orrin Hatch and Mitch McConnell, are expressing concern about President Obama making recess appointments when the Senate was not in session. Former U.S. Attorney General Ed Meese is saying that Obama is committing "a breathtaking violation of the separation of powers."Oh please...The Justice Department headed by Eric Holder is defending the appointments as legal. Y'know, just like...

Newt Gingrich: The GOP's John Kerry in waiting
I once met Newt Gingrich. He's a strong writer and speaker. I think he's got a very good mind for history. I also happen to share many of the views that he holds.Nonetheless, I've got to say it...Newt Gingrich is poised to become for the Republican Party in 2012 what John Kerry was for the Democrat Party in 2004.Meaning that if Gingrich is the GOP's nominee for President, that will most likely assure that Obama will be re-elected.Part of me is...
