Deceits and Evils of the Left

Deceits and Evils of the Left

I had my political awakening in High School. Mom was horrified. She was a first generation Russian-immigrant, dem-blue thru and thru. To her FDR and JFK were like deities. When I told her I was conservative and liked Nixon she just about croaked. How could I be so blind not to know republicans were cigar chomping, power-hungry czars of business and industry who didn’t give a damn for little guys or common folk?...

America’s Destiny

America’s Destiny

COULD THIS BE OUR DESTINY ? Political discourse? Discoarse! Reaching across the aisle? Wire-walk the Grand Canyon! Compromise? Talk to the wall! Words like conservative, traditional, republicanism, constitutionalism, even Americanism are all called into question. Why? What obnoxious purpose is at hand?

In simplest terms its liberal versus conservative, or more tellingly haves versus have-nots. In reality its holding/improving status quo versus dismantling the basic structure of our republic and society, changing it into something new. I’ve previously stressed immigration, education, news...

Last Last Hurrah?

Last Last Hurrah?

There’s no question this election was a breathtaking upset. It caught everyone by surprise and reassured us America is still center-right, at least by electoral college reckonings. The silent majority spoke loud and clear, rejecting this administration and its heir apparent. But we can’t ignore a worrisome reality: we lost the popular vote by millions .  . A state by state review shows more red than blue, but the...
