Hey RLENT... try this: the Tea Party movement pulls a coup d'etat and takes over the GOP. Not vice versa.

Watching the news today, we hear Obama finds the Tea Party activists to be "amusing." Meanwhile, Bill Clinton is drawing parallels between Tea Party angst and that of Timothy McVeigh. McVeigh, as we all remember, was prosecuted for his role in bombing the Federal building in OKC. Does such...

Lately, the Supreme Court has shown a 5-4 tilt toward conservatives. Let us pray for the continued good health of Justices Roberts, Thomas, Scalia, Alito and Kennedy. If Obama gets the chance to replace either of these guys, the pendulum swings Left.

Ron Paul is so much better than what we currently have in the White House. But then, so is your local school janitor. Pretty sure Ron Paul understands military life and structure as he served in the USAF as a flight surgeon. Ron Paul is great. So are Jim Demint, Michelle Bachmann, Paul...

Dale... no one gets 1600 mile runs continuously. It's a fluke to get more than one a month. No one at my carrier is forced to take a run they don't want or feels too tired to take. If we become tired enroute, it's either stop for sleep or swap the load. I welcome long runs, but don't want...

Andy Griffith's Mayberry comes closest to the mark of the Southern culture I grew up in. Little Opie and I would pretty much be contemporaries. Put Opie in a 1960's Appalachian coal mining village, that would be me.

I just had the delicious buffet at Flying J. Glass of water Salisbury steak Corn Mashed potatoes Bread roll Peaches Chocolate cake I generally eat whatever I want. In moderation. Meaning, small portions and no seconds. When I begin to feel full, I stop. Portion size is...

Not braggin'... I have THREE pairs of shoes and actually wear two of the three pairs. I rotate between work boots and sneakers depending on the weather. My wife, however, must be Imelda Marcos' little sister. Our walk-in closet has become a shrine to women's shoes!

OMIGOD... OVM, you don't really believe that, do you? Do you view Southern whites as some subhuman species? What are the schools teaching you guys up North? To equate Southern whites as KKK is tantamount to calling us modern-day Nazis or worse. Please say it ain't so.

As a white conservative from the rural South, I am not allowed to voice an opinion on race. Because I am a white conservative from the rural South, I have been prejudged at birth to be inherently racist. Minorities will point to my tendency to vote GOP as all the confirmation they need of this...

I have much research to do.

LOS... for the first time in my life, I am looking offshore for a better life. IF things get really, really crazy here in the US, as Socialism and social chaos reign, there are English-speaking nations that compare favorably with the US in stability and quality of life. Keep those passports in...

People aren't stupid, for the most part. As ever-increasing taxation rolls in like a tidal wave... many folks will conclude it is counterproductive to work. More and more will opt out of the workforce. Taxation is the cancer that will kill the Golden Goose.

Let me repeat: Obamacare is the beginning of sorrows.

Communist China was a closed society for so many decades, no one knows how many millions they slaughtered. A super-paranoid bunch they were and are. It cannot be easy to rule over a population of one billion people. And so many different ethnicities. Wonder how the Chi-Coms keep Islamic...

There are ungodly tribal massacres happening on the African continent, but it is taboo(politically incorrect) to mention it.

Hey Dennis, my wife and I just spent several days on a beach vacation. Love the time off with family and we plan to go again in July. Still, I am always anxious to get back to work. Expediting is FUN!!!

Yes, Greg. Just as the event known as WWII actually took place in numerous locations at the same time. It was primarily Polish military massacred, but not exclusively Polish military. I had to speak in generalities because many of the actual specifics are lost to history.

How many high school students or university students are taught about the atrocities of WWII? This past week's plane crash killing the Polish president and nearly 100 other high ranking Polish dignitaries reminds us real evil can happen. In 1940, the Soviet secret police, under orders from...
