The President has honorably asked his constituents for their thoughts on The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. You can send his Lordship your thoughts at: (http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/arra_public_review/) I wrote: It is a sad day when you realize that your government no longer has any regard for your future, your well-being, or your economic liberty.

Over the last few years I have undergone a complete reversal in my beliefs about sex and the role of marriage in American Society. What once seemed like a risky-but-worth-it activity, now seems, to me, to be too-risky and too damaging. Sex, to my mind is not a moral issue. I don’t believe God is [...] Read Full Story

1. We must Repeal the 16th Amendment and institute the Fair Tax. More than 20 million dollars in research by market and academic economics were invested in the study that led to the Fair Tax, bred of the best minds in America in places such as MIT and Harvard. It was a non-partisan effort aimed [...] Read Full Story

What is Goodness? Goodness, to my mind, is the full integration of Virtue and Honor, of Respect and Compassion, of inward growth and discipline, thoughtfulness, and charity. Honor encompasses: Courage, Honesty, Generosity, Hospitality, Perseverance, Self-Discipline, Self-Respect, Industriousness, Self-Reliance, and Fidelity. Virtue is more outward, encompassing: Patience, Kindness, Justice, Thoughtfulness, Forgiveness, Respectfulness, and Humility. In the old days, people learned honor from t... Read Full Story

President Obama is an idealistic man and he says that he does not believe that he must sacrifice his ideals in order to sign pragmatic and beneficial pieces of legislation into law. He believes that we can rise to his ideals, that we can meet the promises of his propaganda without suspending attention to the tediousness of modern American government. But how in the world is President Obama going to make this happen? To the center are the Liberal Democratic congressmen and women entrenched i... Read Full Story

With the inauguration of President Obama and the flurry of new government programs and expansions being considered by our Democratic Congress, Americans face a frightening paradox. In a crumbling economy with businesses downsizing, trillions of dollars in capital extinguished, and millions of Americans out of work, how can government afford to become more expensive? How can government grow while the economy shrinks without further devastating an already devastated domestic market? The Bush Ta... Read Full Story

Honor is dead. I’m not sure when it died, but I know the seductive and magnetic ideals that replaced it and I understand why. Honor is predicated on the values and virtues of a society, shared in common, steeped in generations of tradition, purpose, identity, and culture. No nation on this Earth has the kind of common cultural experience and identity necessary to forge an organic code of Honor which every individual is expected to respect. The only peoples that find a way to enforce suc... Read Full Story

Deciding to understand the universe requires one to remove themselves from the equation, just enough to become comfortable with all the seriousness and levity the universe has to offer, before realizing that the only thing in this universe we can control, the only thing we are truly intimate with, is ourselves. The obscurities around us, both the simple and complex, are represented in our minds as ideas, beliefs, and associations. We put these puzzles together with the intent of empowering ou...

1. Florida (13 & 1) National Champions… again. Florida endured the toughest college schedule I’ve ever seen, defeating Oklahoma, Alabama, Florida State, Miami, South Carolina, Georgia, and LSU. No college team should have to face that many quality programs in a single season. But Florida did and did so admirably. 2. Texas (12 & 1) Defeated Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl, beat both Oklahoma and Missouri who played in the Big 12 Championship Game, and sported a victory over u... Read Full Story

There are now three, widely differing power centers within the Democratic Party. There is the DNC, under the new Leadership of Tim Kaine, that one would expect to craft a moderate, pro-infrastructure, pro-business, “It’s the Economy Stupid”, type of message over the coming years. Then there is the Obama White House, which has about 18 months to govern before having to slip back into reelection mode. Then there are Congressional Democrats who are constantly in reelection mode... Read Full Story
