If you haven’t read the famous book by George Orwell written prior to the 1950’s you should take the time to peruse this phenomenal piece of writing. It has been a long time since I have turned the pages of this novel but when I was driving home the other night it automatically popped into my head as I heard about the New LED’s being installed on this very highway. Now instead of the normal one colour screens with simple text on them hanging over the roadway we will now be able to see large f... Read Full Story

An interesting question with many answers that are regularly misconstrued or negatively defined for political purposes. Webster’s dictionary has these definitions for 1) conservative (adj) cautious, reserved or moderate and 2) conservatism (n) a policy that advocates moderation, or opposition to change. From these two definitions have risen many different meanings that define a certain dress code all the way to an entire political culture. You can have certain conservative values but not be a...

I have had the good fortune to have spent the last three weeks just south of Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. I have been coming here every October for the past 15 years and needless to say it is one of my favorite places. This year I brought my Harley down (by trailer) and have enjoyed riding it which is something I couldn’t have done up north in the cooler weather. After observing the situation in Myrtle Beach and talking to some of the locals it appears the town has made some very large err... Read Full Story

Consider the fact that very soon the only real super power and non socialistic Government in the world will sign a treaty that binds them, in the future, to all decisions made by the new Global Power created by the United Nations. This monstrous bureaucracy has been set up to control the richer nations of the world, primarily the United States of America and this is not in question. All of the Liberal Religions such as Climate Control and the redistribution of wealth to name a couple will be ... Read Full Story

I have a great idea to affect cultural change in the USA and Canada and it won’t cost a billion or even a million, can you believe it? I figure that all of the failed social and educational programs implemented by the compassionate Liberals over the last fifty years have cost taxpayers billions of dollars with no tangible results. So let’s take the first step and start with children’s sports. Number one must be the removal of all intellectual elites who feel they have the answers for everythi... Read Full Story

I saw a University student's comment today which pretty well sums up the whole Political Correctness stupidity.
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
Consider the absolute nonsense that abounded when Rush Limbaugh expressed an honest opinion about Donavan McNab a black NFL quarterback. It... Read Full Story

Like all things that start out as good ideas coming out of government that eventually turn into boondoggles, the Workers Compensation system is a gigantic fiasco. While on the face of it one might ask, “how can helping workers injured on the job be a bad thing? For those legitimately hurt while at work it is a good thing for sure and I am solidly behind the program if these were the only people that benefited from it. However this is not the case as it is with just about all of the so-called ... Read Full Story

There are several accounts of the invention of the hamburger. All take place in the United States near the end of the nineteenth century.Residents of Hamburg, New York, which was named after Hamburg, Germany, attribute the hamburger to Ohioans Frank and Charles Menches. According to legend, the Menches brothers were vendors at the 1885 Erie County Fair (then called the Buffalo Fair) when they ran out of sausage for sandwiches and used beef instead, naming the result after the location of the ...

Since the day I made my first trip to the southern United States I have been in love with the south. Of course the perpetual mild to hot climate is one of the main reasons but there are so many more that keep me coming back year after year. In fact during my working career I often hoped for a possible transfer to the Carolina’s or Georgia but alas it never materialized. The closest I got was to Green Bay Wisconsin, another place I love, but for the climate it could have fulfilled my wishes. T... Read Full Story
