Hollywood is mourning the passing of Bill McKinney, the Deliverance mountain man character who immortalized the phrase, "Squeal like a pig," in his amorous pursuit of Ned Beatty. Many of us Appalachians remain convinced this movie did more harm to the virtuous image of mountain folk than all...

It's not part of American culture to eat horse meat, except for cases like the Donner Party. I heard some mention on the radio recently about legislation condoning the slaughter of horses for human consumption. I always felt horses should enjoy the same protection as cats and dogs in the...

At 8pm tonight, CNN will televise the latest GOP debate. I, for one, hope Newt Gingrich lights in on CNN's Wolf Blitzer like a Roman candle. Too many candidates take abuse and innuendo from these so-called debate moderators. Wolf Blitzer may be in for a surprise if he tries his junk with Newt.

Now more than ever, it is essential for all presidential contenders to be fully vetted. If scandals and allegations of bad behavior clutter their past, let the disinfectant power of sunshine separate fact from fiction. Barack Obama was pretty much given a free pass by the media in 2008...

Who are these occupiers? What do they want? Who is orchestrating these events? Seems the occupiers are darlings of left-wing media and Democrats. Why would Obama give them encouragement?

If the AP is right, Libyan leader Moammar Qadhafi will soon try to flee Libya as the rebels are possibly closing in on the despot. Well, let Moammar board a Libyan military plane to spirit him away to safety. 10 minutes into flight, give him the Yamamoto treatment.

Never one to get out front on impending disasters, President Obama and Sec of State Hillary Clinton wag fingers at Syria's Assad. First we had unauthorized involvement in Libya, now after months of slaughter, it looks as though Syria could be next. Our president doesn't have a lucid policy on...

Military.com is reporting a Kentucky man, Dakota Meyer, will be awarded the Medal of Honor in September for his heroics in battle as a US Marine while stationed in Afghanistan. Living recipients are rare. The full story can be found at Military.com Mobile | Headline News.

Our federal government is so dysfunctional! The current debt ceiling agreement is a sham, through and through. Obama and the Dems promise relatively tiny budget cuts in later years in exchange for giving Obama an immediate $$$ Trillion increase of the nation's debt ceiling. The GOP has caved...

I don't understand those who speak of the US facing a double-dip recession. We never really came out of the awful recession that began in 2008 and continues to this day. Technically, a few economic indicators bumped up a little, here and there. GDP goes up and down. Government is a growth...

I can't believe I used to like this guy. Over the past several years, it became really uncomfortable watching Newt buddy up to the likes of Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. More and more, Newt seemed too concerned with pleasing liberals in an attempt to rehabilitate his public image. Those...

Sad news: there is just no way the GOP pulls 50% of the presidential vote in 2012. Demographics indicate the Democrats have a stranglehold on at least half the voting public. No matter how badly the economy struggles, no matter the full push toward socialism, no matter Obama's associations...

Humanitarian crisis? More like an unadvised, ill-informed plunge into military adventurism. But, there is good news: we have a Nobel Peace Prize winner in the White House providing strong leadership. Surely, this warmonger has earned his place on Mount Rushmore. In fact, let us petition the...

Trying to follow coverage of the radiation leaks from damaged reactors in Japan has been confusing. One or more reactors may be seriously compromised. It seems the Japanese government is torn between the competing impulses to be transparent about sharing vital information versus the instinct...

Let's clear the air on this one. The GOP isn't going to nominate a preacher for US President. Why does Huckabee even bother? Self-promotion... sell more books, enhance his speaking fees. Can we find a viable candidate who isn't a preacher or community organizer, please? Perhaps, someone...

Impeachments are rare, but fascinating. In an interview with Newsmax this week, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich warned that Obama's pronouncement his administration would no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) could lead to a constitutional crisis. Gingrich makes the...

Today we hear the Obama administration has decided it will no longer defend the Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA) signed into law approximately 15 years ago. The federal law known as DOMA defines marriage as being between one man and one woman. Moral confusion has its home in the Democrat Party...

Politico.com has a headline article today on what our national defense leaders call the "disconnect" between our civilian population and US military personnel. It's a pretty good summary and hits the obvious points to be made. One statistic that jumped out was 75% of today's youth who are...

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...
