    When heads of state use children as props.

    We are going to get a real taste of fascism with Obamacare implementation. The Federal government, using provisions of Obamacare legislation, will not only use IRS agents to enforce certain aspects of the new hhealthcare mandates, but now is encouraging physicians to gather information about...

    When heads of state use children as props.

    When heads of state use children as props.

    What's really sad is when politicians resort to the use of children as an emotional ploy to advance a political agenda. The exploitation of emotionalism is a favorite tactic by the Left. "If even one life can be saved, let's do it for the children." Barack Hussein Obama has declared...

    When heads of state use children as props.

    Well, maybe not all of it was shameless. Some adults are probably proud of pushing a political agenda through the use of children as props.

    When heads of state use children as props.

    Wonder which adults prompted little children to write letters to Obama? Likely, they were instructed to write by teachers, parents or psychologists. Just as likely, the kids were given talking points or a general outline to follow. More shameless exploitation by adults.

    When heads of state use children as props.

    We are being told Barack Hussein Obama will surround himself with children tomorrow as he pushes for change on gun control issues. The shameless exploitation of children for political purposes is an old tradition. Little Stuart Lockwood didn't want to play along in 1990. Good for him...

    "There will be no gun control in my county."

    AMonger... what I see happening in Jackson County, KY is a microcosm, a tiny cell, of a nascent grassroots movement reacting to a possible Federal move against 2nd Amendment rights. Notice these citizens are meeting with their Sheriff. Scenes similar to this are likely playing out in many...

    Pay toilets to make a come back.

    Can you believe this? The US Federal government is considering a proposal to install pay-toilets at over 20,000 govt facilities inside the US. Supposedly, each unit will cost 25 cents to gain access, 25 cents for tissue paper and 25 cents to exit. Dollar bill change machines will be...

    Is not you tube a wonderful tool.

    As an educational resource, Youtube is tremendous. Teachers can pull clips of historical events and play video to the classroom. We live in the video age; hardly anyone bothers to read books anymore. Here's the Hindenburg disaster from 1937: Hindenburg disaster - YouTube

    Inauguration Week is Coming soon

    I believe the inaugural festivities are privately funded through corporate sponorship and personal donations.

    Inauguration Week is Coming soon

    I suspect the political elites like the pageantry of huge ceremonies. It's a nod to vanity and narcissism. Why not have a modest ceremony? Must every inaugural be bigger and more grand than the one before?

    "There will be no gun control in my county."

    The Appalachian section of Kentucky has some customs peculiar to the region. Alcohol and guns do not mix well. They will not give up their guns, so to the extent possible, booze is discouraged.

    "There will be no gun control in my county."

    What's strange about it?? A sheriff in Kentucky is the highest ranking ELECTED law enforcement officer within his jurisdiction. Appointed government officials, such as agents of the ATF, are supposed to be subservient to elected officials. Sheriff Peyman is saying if the Federal appointees...

    "There will be no gun control in my county."

    After a little more digging, I found a video from yesterday where Sheriff Peyman is explaining his thoughts on gun control. The guy is pretty solid on 2nd admendment rights. video: Kentucky Sheriff Denny Peyman upholds the 2nd Ammendment - YouTube Then there is this...

    "Crime Story" ... opening theme music

    In 1986 I would put away my work or studies and watch "Crime Story" every week. The opening theme music by Del Shannon was a perfect match for the gritty police drama. Crime Story Opening Theme - YouTube

    Hannity: Some states will want to leave the Union.

    Conservatives are losing on every front, it seems. The current state of affairs is so bad neither party can fix things. We are beyond conventional means and remedies. Americans are going to need a do-over. A "do-over" implies fundamental transformation even Barack Obama won't touch...

    Hannity: Some states will want to leave the Union.

    I cannot find a rational basis for optimism. Our government is nearly nonfunctional and segments of our society are at each other's throats. Folks under 40 years old are royally screwed. For many of them, the American Dream is permanently unattainable. Labor is cheap, leaving little...
