The Russian Hack

Whether or not the Russian government hacked our 2016 election resulting in the election of Donald Trump is true, I only have one questions: why the outrage? Now, I am certainly not saying it is okay for Russia to do something like that. Far from it. However, is the United States really in any position to show moral indignation over a foreign government doing something like that to our democratic process when America in the past has literally assisted in the overthrow of democracies in order to install dictatorships? A prime example is Operation Ajax. People wonder why our relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran is so turbulent. Well in 1953 the United States used the Central Intelligence Agency along with British intelligence (MI6) to overthrow the government of Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in order to install a monarch named Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, also known as the Shah (King) And why did we do this? To make a long story short, Prime Minister Mosaddegh

The Misled Generation

I grew up on 300+ acre horse farm in Maryland. My Dad's employer was fairly well off. We had enough to get by, and maybe a little more once in a while for a trip somewhere. My parents never used credit cards. We had come back to America in 1975 and Dad paid cash for a 1967 Plymouth Valiant that had 53,000 miles on it (almost a death sentence for cars in that era, but the 225 cu in. Mopar engine never quit) $1,000 got us our family car that he drove from 1975 to 1990 when he finally took her off the road. We didn't have much, but like most families we dreamed of being rich. Dad went to the 8th grade and left Melbourne for Tasmania to ride steeplechase. He didn't learn a trade. He didn't become an entrepreneur in the traditional sense. And he didn't work for government. He entered a profession where you either prosper, or you scrape by. He scraped by. He could have done something else with his life. Nobody is forced to work in the horse game. But his income

Why does the Left hate?

The Left in America always preaches tolerance. They say that we all must be tolerant of our differences. But, have you seen the way they behave when your view on the world differs from theirs? Milo Yiannopoulos, a conservative blogger and provocateur, only wanted to speak. He wanted to speak on the campus of UC Berkeley just wanted to make a speech, take a few questions and maybe learn a little about other points of view and have the opportunity to maybe have someone learn from him as well. And what happened? All hell broke loose. The left-wing set the campus on fire and did $100,000.00 in damage to a public institution of higher learning. Why? Why did this happen? Was Milo a member of the Ku Klux Klan? Was he an member of the American Nazi Party? Was he in favor of separation of the races? Or was he even anti-Gay? What caused such an uproar? What caused otherwise perfectly rational human beings to destroy public property and prevent someone from exercising their free speech?

"Ask not what your country can do for you" to "What can the government steal and give to me?"

What happened to the Democrat Party? Yes, the party of Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy. THAT party. What happened to it? Democrats and Republicans always had areas where they disagreed. But for the most part, even though they disagreed about how to get things done, they agreed upon what the issue was. Having said that, could someone tell me how we went from asking what we could do to help our country to asking what free benefit some politician is going to offer me so that I will vote for them? The Democrats have become the party of degeneracy, protecting illegal aliens and playing class warfare. Would John Kennedy or Harry be proud of the people leading the party? Would they relate to Senator Harris? Former Vice-President Biden Would he agree with wanting to shut down the government agency that protects our borders? Would he be in favor of wanting to take away the 2nd Amendment rights of Americans? Would he think that promising healthcare funded by tax payers to illegal aliens

Is Diversity Really Our Strength?

Liberals always tell us that they value diversity because it is a source of strength. Even former Vice-President Biden bragged about how the United States would very soon be a place where white people (aka, people of European ancestry, aka the founding culture of this nation) would soon be a minority in America. He said we should celebrate that. Really? If you change the demographics of a country, you change the culture. And if the culture of a nation is the reason why it is successful, why would you want to change it? Couldn't it be more likely that we are a great nation not because of our diversity, but in spite of it because of our constitution? Our constitution by law protects everyone's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness regardless of immutable characteristics. Under our constitution, a person fresh off the boat from the most impoverished part of the world, and without a dime in his pocket has the same rights as a person who descends from the oldes
