How Far Right Should We Be?

How Far Right Should We Be?

There is huge disagreement among conservatives about where on the left-right spectrum they should be: center-right, middle or far-right? Centrists argue this is the balancing point for not only all conservatives but independents and moderate liberals as well. There’s a much better chance of achieving compromise here they say than at the extreme. The far right disagrees, especially of late. They argue compromise has been...

One Commoner’s Opinion

One Commoner’s Opinion

Here is a quartet of recent articles I submitted for Op-Ed’s with my local newspaper, but rejected as being too strident/controversial. When people are dying and an entire society is at risk, I think we can afford controversy. The only issue should be what can we do to fix the problem and safeguard the community. My opinions may sound harsh, but the crux of the argument is, would they be effective? If so, should we...

No problem. This is insane! Gun laws work for the most part, but they can’t detect future homicidal...

President Or Prisonment!

President Or Prisonment!

I don’t know about you, but when someone lies to my face I get angry. It shows they have no respect for me or my intelligence, they’re unwilling to take responsibility for their actions and will say or do anything to avoid taking blame. Hillary Clinton is such a person. We’ve been listening to her lies for decades; lies about Bill’s philandering, cattle futures, Whitewater notes, being broke upon...

Middle Ground

Middle Ground

Four score and seven years ago .  .  Lincoln opened with these words eulogizing the maimed and fallen in Gettysburg field saying in part . .  giving their last full measure of devotion, they did not die in vain. The same could have been said of casualties in the French & Indian War,  the American Revolutionary War and War of 1812. It’s doubtful he realized the sweeping historical impact his words would have, and...
