History Revisionism

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. Unless you were in a media blackout this weekend, you know pop singer Amy Winehouse died this weekend.   Friends claim it was an overdose  from a deadly cocktail of alcohol and drugs.  Her mother has said for [...]

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 [...]

 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

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

“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

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 [...]

American Idol

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

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. [...]

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

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 [...]

Best Cultural Moments 2009

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 [...]

Here is a fun video. I am putting it out early as a bit of a preemption to those who think the culture changed. Now just to really blow the secular progressive minds. Those who are offended by Truth should not view this video. You may stumble into it. It features one of my favorite [...]

I got some folks in snit about me earlier this week with a post that was actually about non partisan elections. Actually, It was Pandora and she went ballistic on me for my repeating a quote of a friend of mine’s paraphrasing of the motto the City Wilmington. My friend, who is very witty, and [...]

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. It is nice to see the celebration of marriage and another first family in love. That is something our previous President and [...]

The Emmy Awards

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 [...]

Culture: Class v. Lack of Class

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

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. [...]

Get Schooled

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 [...]
