I often hear people say they don’t vote because, they say, their vote wont count or their vote wont matter. This could not be further from the truth. In fact, the bald truth is that even if you don’t cast a vote, you just voted. Let me repeat what I just said. IF YOU DON’T VOTE, YOU JUST VOTED. How is this possible? Are you thinking that maybe someone else is voting for you, using your name? That can be a factor of course, but it is not what I am talking about. Look at it this way, say you... Read Full Story

On occassion I come across something that makes so much sense that I have to talk about it. The Southern Avenger, in the video below, makes so much logical sense that it is hard to disagree with him on anything. However, he does get a few facts wrong about the Iraq war and the War on Terror but he nails it on the "religionizing" of political and social issues. Especially when it comes to Global Warming. The idea that being a Conservative or a Liberal should thus dictate what you believe... Read Full Story

Have you ever heard the saying "Once in a Blue Moon "? I am sure you have even if you are only 10 years old. It means a chance of a lifetime or at least an opportunity that does not come around very often in a lifetime. That is what we have going into the year of our Lord; 2010. You see, we will have a full moon on New Years Eve . Now that in and of itself is not unusual. However, it will be the SECOND full moon in the month of December. That second full moon in a single month is called a... Read Full Story

Up here in New England we will enjoy a white Christmas. This is in spite of the fact that there was a two week conference on Global Warming in Copenhagen. I find it very humorous that during this conference, the city got near record cold temperatures and near record snow fall and that very same city will have a white Christmas for the first time in decades. I also find it funny that when temperatures plummet all over the planet, Global Warming popes and priest tell us that if it gets cold... Read Full Story

I often get accused of being a cold and hard s.o.b. Does that really bother me? No, not at all. Am I really a cold hard s.o.b.? Depends on who you ask but I like to think that I am far more compassionate than the Liberal that says I am cold and hard. How is that? Well for one, I don't go around giving people a fish and then expect them to learn how to fish all on their own after I leave. That is what a Liberal does. To be fair, Liberals have good intentions. The problem is they don't think... Read Full Story

There has been a lot of coverage lately about the Tiger Woods accident and the so-called "gatecrashers" or "party crashers". Tareq and Michaele Salahi did what was previously thought impossible and unthinkable. They "crashed" a White House party. Or did they? Now why is this even such news? Why is there so much talk about it? Why do you even have some Senators and Representatives calling for criminal charges? Look at it this way. No matter what you feel about Barack Obama...no matter if you... Read Full Story
