200 years ago, some segments of this country did not give a high regard to Christmas while others did. So there is a movement inspired by the revisionists in the ACLU aided by the History Channel that claims Congress met almost every Christmas for the first 67 years of this nation including the first Congress [...]

Update: Former Secretary of Education Bennett wrote this fine article on the subject. It coincides well with mine.

Her mother has said for [...]
The Delaware Democratic Attack On Motherhood and Apple Pie
Posted in Culture, Family, Liberalism, Looney Left, Parental Rights on May 7th, 2011
Actually, they don’t seem to have a big problem with apple pie. Parenthood is another issue. Recent legislation passed by the Democrat majority threatens parenthood. In 2009, the Democrat majority decided to fix what wasn’t broken. In 2011. the civil union bill doubled down on the error. While most people focused on the marriage like [...]
Comment Rescue: Useful Idiots
Posted in Comment Rescue, Culture, Liberal Hypocrisy, Liberal Media on Mar 8th, 2011
I am always amazed by what basic things liberals don’t know. One of the problems of posting as a conservative is the total lack of historic and cultureal knowledge of liberals. Liberals can take one word out of context, due to their ignorance, and then go ballistic when they are the ones who misunderstood the term [...]
This Seems Wrong
Posted in Culture on Feb 17th, 2011
Does anyone else have a problem with boys being forced to wrestle girls? Joel Northrup did. He defaulted rather than violate his standards on fighting women. Good for him. One has to wonder about a culture that would put teen-aged boys and girls together in a wrestling match. This is not a basketball game or [...]
Why I Say Merry Christmas
Posted in Culture, History, Merry Christmas on Dec 8th, 2010
The world was literally turned upside down by Jesus called Christ. It is a shame that some try to avoid Christmas because they have an agenda of religious apartheid. The fact is that celebrating the life and teachings of Christ is sensible from a completely secular perspective. In the west, we celebrate people’s lives by [...]
Attention Pro-family Voters
Posted in Action File, Conservatism, Culture, Election 2010, Family on Oct 24th, 2010
I want you to go here and view the Pro-Family score Cared by the Delaware Family Policy Council. You will see both Federal and State issues and the candidate stands on them. The contrast between Coons and O’Donnell and Carney and Urquhart is stark. Chris Coons and John Carney refuses to even say tax money should not [...]
Guest Poster finds the Key to Progress
Posted in Christine O'Donnell, Conservatism, Culture, Election 2010, Glen Urquhart on Oct 12th, 2010
“T-Party”/Mainstream lost confidence in Country’s direction!! One thing for sure the movement has conveyed the message-America is unhappy. As scientists and others have pointed out, finding, or identifying the primary obstacle to progress is the key. America faces a long to do list: jobs, education, defense, healthcare etc., and a host of others. But, what [...]

You have to like this guy
Posted in Culture on Jun 8th, 2010
In today’s permissive society what is a father to do when an adult man is sending naked pictures to his 17 year old daughter? Gone are the days of the shotgun with salt and sulfur. One father’s answer was the stun gun. You have to like this guy. It was California so the dad was [...]
Gary Coleman Forever 42
Posted in Culture on May 29th, 2010
People my age grew up watching Gary Coleman grow up. He died Friday of an intracranial hemorrhage. Unlike singerBret Michaels, he just got worse. It sadden me because it seemed like he just got everything together after struggling during adulthood. In fact, he struggles in some respects all his life. Two kindney transplants that both [...]
American Idol
Posted in Culture on May 25th, 2010
What a show tonight. I always expected Crystal Bowersox to be in the finals. She was a star in waiting and she showed it tonight. Lee DeWyze was that contestant who grows into the role. The painter turned singer who captured the imagination of tens of millions. I think both deserve to be heard from [...]
Miley Cyrus

Hannah Montana will soon be in the past and Miley Cyrus will emerge full time. It is about the right time in her life. The question that I have culturally is will Miley mature or be corrupted? Most of us with daughters in the target demographic know who she is to the point of boredom. [...]
You have to wonder
Posted in Culture on Apr 6th, 2010
You have to wonder about a woman who leads a march of a dozen women topless to call attention to the inequality of how society views men and women who are bare chested, then gets upset that men looked at them. Keep that woman away from any sexual harassment panel. She has a screw loose. [...]
Jon Voight is still rolling

Despite his politically incorrect stances, Jon Voight is winning new roles on the small screen as well as reprising a major role on the big screen. Maybe others in Hollywood will come out of hiding.
Sandra Bullock Wins, but Politically Charged Hurt Locker does too
Posted in Culture on Mar 8th, 2010
Sandra Bullock is one of the greatest modern actresses not to have won an Academy Award. The Blind Side changed that. Any one who saw Love and War knew that she deserved to be on that stage. Bullock has always had a connection with Red America. Her kissing of Ms. Meryl Streep likely helped take [...]
Finally, men win one
Posted in Culture on Mar 2nd, 2010
The fashion industry became disconnected from the real world some time ago. Its insistence on trying to redefine beauty as a step above starvation has fallen flat, but it is just now beginning to come to grips with that reality. In Europe, it is now becoming cool to use “real women” in ad campaigns. These [...]
The next time you gripe to your teen about texting; you should remember this story. A Dover man is in custody on numerous charges after he allegedly broke all the windows in his former girlfriend’s home and also took two juveniles hostage. Police were alerted to the hostage situation when one of the young people [...]
Best Cultural Moments 2009
Posted in Culture on Jan 2nd, 2010
Carrie Prejean’s simple and obvious answer to a question about marriage exposed the rude, hostile, and intolerant nature of the opposition of to traditional American values. The ugliness of the hatemongers showed them for who they really were. They hate the family and will try destroy anyone who opposes them not just defeat their ideas. [...]

In yet another example of the wonderful manner that economic stimulus bill was going to fund shovel ready projects to rebuild our infrastructure. We get this. The stimulus bill also will be funding key research. “The National Institutes of Health got $219,000 in funds to study whether female college students are more likely to “hook [...]

I try to make it over to Hube’s site at least a couple of times a week and I always enjoy the experience. I enthusiastically recommend this site to anyone who wants a dash of quirkiness with their conservatism. I know I have learned more about Marvel Comic Books then I could have hoped to learn in [...]
In these troubled times it is good to have a bit of normalcy. The President and his wife celebrated their anniversary this past weekend with dinner out at a local D. C. restaurant.

The Emmy Awards
Posted in Culture, No Politics on Sep 21st, 2009
There is no question that the winners deserved recognition in the Emmy Awards. While some cable shows broke into the nominations and one FX show even won, it is still biased to network shows. There is not a Kanye West moment coming. I will not say someone didn’t deserve the award. Though I would have [...]
Beyonce is an artist that I respect greatly. I have a respect for her musical ability, but more importantly I believe that she is a positive influence in the culture. She proved that once again when she gave the stage to another wonderful role model and talented artist, Taylor Swift. The talented but apparently classless [...]

It’s the Culture, Stupid
Posted in Conservatism, Culture on Aug 30th, 2009
Darius Rucker’s song Alright is a powerful reminder of what really matters. I believe that culture matters more than money. What makes a society is not the toys it has, but the values it passes on. The old fashion values of relationships, commitments, and faith in GOD are the central issues to any successful society. [...]
We can spend all the money we want on education, but it ain’t no good if the kids don’t care. An interesting approach is to begin a conversation about the value of education launched by 20 TV networks including the BET family of channels, the MTV family of Channels, the VH1 family of channels, the [...]
