In today’s world, we often forget why Christmas matters.

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 [...]

This is Constitution Week.  214 years ago a miracle occurred in Philadelphia.  The colonies were free and independent from Great Britain, but they were going nowhere.  The French revolution showed that obtaining Freedom is only one phase.  Functioning as free people is the next phase.  Prospering as a free people is the third. The American [...]

From some history text books in schools today, I get  the impression that Blacks were victims of America and had few contributions until they were finally freed in the 1960′s. I respectfully disagree. We have been building this country from its beginning. I will write more in the future. Right now here is a glimpse into an [...]

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 [...]

One of the greatest heroes of the War was a man that was almost forgotten and left in slavery, James Armistead.  His was the man that got Cornwallis trapped in Yorktown by feeding him bad intelligence.  Fortunately, Lafayette refused to forget him.   Washington was a big advocate of emancipation for the black soldiers who fought for [...]

President Johnson proved that the law does affect attitudes. The Civil Rights laws including the prohibition on housing discrimination signed 42 years ago today, helped change America. The signing was just one week after the assassination of Dr. King.  It seemed like the decades of turmoil would never end.  They did.  The interesting political fact [...]

The surprising answer is no. The Pilgrims are the most American of them all. They tried it in the beginning. The result was starvation and it almost ended the American Experiment in the north. A new governor adopted the Calvinist ethic of enterprise and the colony flourished. Socialism has come up various times in America. [...]

We warned the leaders that their high handed action on the Health Care Law would push the nation closer to the boiling point. They did not listen so you must. This nation must not be allowed to devolve into lawlessness. We will remember in November not threaten people. The Viet Nam peace movement grew from [...]

The celebration of the birth of  Jesus (Yeshua) is one special  to Christians  for many reasons, but the celebration belongs to all humanity.  I have a Wiccan friend (of all people) who is particularly poignant on this point.  He recognizes Christmas because “Christianity has helped many people to find a higher path”.  The contributions made [...]

A backdesert heresy condemned at least 60 times by leading clerics, called Saudi Wahhabism, got a boost from western sources right after WW2. Thanks to a gullible U. S. State department. We are still paying the price for that one. It is another reason that we can not abandon the fight. We helped create the [...]

The careful cultivation of alliances with Eastern Europe that has so successfully developed democracies in parts of the world that had been enslaved by Communist dictatorships for over 50 years has been tossed aside like a used Kleenex by Barack Obama. Here are the sad headlines from Czech and Polish news outlets. “Betrayal!  The U.S. [...]

Recently, a Congressman introduced a resolution declaring next year the year of the Bible. This type of resolution usually sails through. We have resolutions declaring awareness of everything under the sun. The PC San Francisco led house Democratic leadership found fault with this resolution.

Lincoln reminds us of the best of America.  Now I know some of my southern friends disagree, but I don’t feel like refighting the War Between the States (Civil War for those of us North of the Mason Dixon).  I am a Northern Partisan, but go with me on this one and see if you [...]

I have given some critiques of the current President’s policies.  Some were favorable and some were critical.  I admit that I am puzzled by some recent actions, the Katrina aftermath, high spending, lack of fundamental tax reform, federal education mandates, the expansive Patriot Act, and couldn’t believe that he stuck with Rummy’s stubborn refusal to adopt [...]

The best way to avoid repeating the mistakes of history is to know history.  President Andrew Jackson and his successor President Martin Van Buren waged a populist war against the “evil” bankers.  Big Banking as we would say today, was sapping the life blood out of the working man.  How we don’t know, but they were [...]
