Reality has caught up with the entitlement crowd. Outrageous demands by public sector unions have put a spotlight on organized labor and their ever increasing drain on scarce resources. Obama has paid lip service to the union whiners. Jesse Jackson made an appearance. Democratic state...

Breitbart.com has a brief story concerning the American Taliban, John Walker Lindh. According to his father, JWL has adjusted well to prison life. Most will remember Lindh was captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan as he was portrayed to be fighting against his country, the United States...

Yes, unfortunately, Ron Paul does come across as a drab, uninspiring isolationist. He has some interesting economic ideas. By all accounts Paul is known to be a good and decent man. 76 years old, perhaps a little tired and cranky. Nice guy, yes. Leader, no.

So many divergent viewpoints and agendas find voice in the United States. What really holds this nation together? What would really tear our nation apart?

By menace I meant libertarians are a threat to the larger conservative movement. Libertarians, generally speaking, do not share traditional conservative viewpoints on social issues such as abortion, homosexual marriage, etc. If the GOP is prepared to concede important social and cultural...

Congrats on the new van!

Many who call themselves libertarians are actually libertines and have no business disrupting the conservative movement. I, along with other social conservatives, am beginning to see "libertarians" for the menace they represent.

CPAC is in crisis mode right now. The spectacle of inviting GoProud has driven many reliable stalwarts away. GoProud will not be invited to future CPAC conferences. GoProud's advocacy of homosexuality stands in direct conflict with traditional conservative principles. New leadership is...

Egypt is primarily a Muslim nation. This is not news. Given a free and fair election, it would be logical to conclude candidates espousing traditional Islamic values would fare well.

We shouldn't be surprised if Mubarak eventually finds himself on trial in Egypt. Corruption, possible theft from the national treasury, putting political dissidents in prison, civil rights violations, human rights violations, state sponsored terror against his own people... ??? Who knows...

To follow up on Pilgrim's point, we can now expect Obama to step forward and try to absorb praise and credit for the revolution in Egypt. Of course, Obama and his crew were woefully clueless (one moment standing by Mubarak, the next moment loudly proclaiming Mubarak must go). Rather than take...

We can imagine other Middle East dictators and autocrats are watching the revolution in Egypt with trepidation. No one can know what happens next. Will other dynasties begin to fall? Saudi Arabia? Or Jordan? Let's hope things turn for the betterment of the people. Not every clash or...

Watching the live broadcast of Mubarak's address on Egyptian State Television, it appears Mubarak is digging in his heels to stay in power for awhile longer. Pretty language about elections in September won't mollify the crowds demanding change now. Wearing a suit and tie doesn't make Mubarak...

Camels in the streets of Cairo. Pro-government thugs on camels and horses are clashing with protesters. Sticks, stones, machetes, Molotov ****tails, water cannons, fires.... the government beatdown has begun.

For the past 11 years I have used only Shell Rotella in my Ford diesels. Change the oil faithfully every 10,000 miles. No problems to report.

I sense a huge slapdown is headed towards Obamacare. As I said a year ago, the US Supreme Court will have the final say as to whether this incredible attempt at forcing socialized medicine on every man, woman and child in America can pass constitutional muster. In his never-ending search for...

I apologize if my comments on Europe's difficulties with her Muslim population annoyed you. Although we will probably come to different conclusions, I certainly do not pretend to have your firsthand experience as a European. Still, rest assured the US will not be so indulgent as our friends...

I wasn't offering an expert opinion, just mine. Are you familiar with the book "Londonistan" by British journalist Melanie Phillips?

The Pastor Terry Jones presents a unique dilemma: we have to weigh his act of threatening to burn the Koran against the rights of free speech. In the US we see examples of flag burning and book burning as provocative and insensitive, but not illegal. I don't recall seeing any riots or mass...

Greg... I agree with most of your points. I make a distinction between those who serve honorably (which is the vast majority) and those who do not serve honorably. The UCMJ deals directly with the latter group. As to civilians serving their country, there is no real comparison to be made...
