Teddy Quote
Monday, March 23rd, 2009Here’s a great quote from Teddy Roosevelt from his first message to Congress:
“The American people are slow to wrath, but when their wrath is once kindled, it burns like a consuming flame.”
I found this on a web site about an Orlando Tea Party.
Thomas Paine
Saturday, March 21st, 2009I saw this on Glenn Beck last night. Speaks for itself.
Liberals Hate Capitalism
Friday, March 20th, 2009I recently ran across a post at The Absurd Report that I liked. It inspired the following comment from me that I decided to use as a post here.
Liberals would never admit they don’t like capitalism because saying so is patently absurd. I doubt they would even admit it to themselves. The bottom line: liberals [...]
Dirty Little Secret
Friday, March 20th, 2009I’ve retired from two careers. One from the U.S. Air Force and another as a successful businessman. I was blessed to have the opportunity to do both. Since my retirement(s), I’ve taken up consulting, some of which has me bidding on government contracts that interest me and ones where I feel I can contribute something [...]
A New Constitution
Thursday, March 19th, 2009I’ve often thought it would be an interesting exercise to try to re-write the constitution–only to clarify the actual intent by the authors.

No Shame for Dodd
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009While I expect the likes of Sen. Dodd to do outragous things, this most recent rant he has for AIG bonuses should top the list of “Politicians Say The Most Incredible Things.” Dodd introduced language in the most recent porkulus package, that effectively allowed big shots to get their bonuses at companies like AIG. What [...]
Big Bonus
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009We must be careful not to fall victim to calculated efforts to distract us. Yes, it enrages us to hear that AIG would pay out bonuses to the very people who got us in this mess to begin with, but that let’s keep it in perspective. We’re talking about $160+million, representing 1/10 of a percent [...]
The 912 Project
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009By now, most politically astute individuals are aware of Glenn Beck’s “The 912 Project.” I’ve been a fan of Glenn’s since his early radio days, even when he ventured over to the dark side at CNN. I was pleased when he moved over to Fox News and have been enjoying his show when I get [...]
