With this somewhat stilted sentence, Michelle Bachmann captured the essence of America. She was speaking of her grandparents at the Redstate Gathering 2010 in Austin.

I am glad to see she has gotten in.

Left, right or across to many have forgotten the key ingredients that made America different from the rest of the world.

A written constitution that was obeyed, mostly, for the first 100 years and generally for the next 50 years.

This dovetails into the rule of law that too many on the right ignore with Drug Wars and Social Security among others items plainly in violation of the US Constitution but which “conservatives” still support from political expediency and a desire for power. [...]

Battle of Britain REDUX

As the Battle of Britain came to a close one can picture the scene as Lads and Ladies stepped out from behind the rubble.

A Tale of Two Futures

I could have kept Dickens original title describing two cities. One is a city on a hill providing light to the world, a beacon of liberty as envisioned by our forefathers. The other city is a Pompeii-esque backwater ossifying under a mountain of debt, excessive taxation and suffocating regulation destined for the ash heap.

One of these two cities is our future. We have delayed the decision for as long as possible. Much as the population of Pompeii, perhaps too ignorant to understand the signs and thus the danger when Vesuvius began its eruption, did not flee until it was too late; we too have delayed a choice, ignoring the signs and minimizing the danger. If we choose not to decide, [...]
