Paramount Pictures released its newest Tom Cruise Mission Impossible movie a few weeks ago to great fanfare and an all out advertising blitz. Cruise reprises his role as Ethan Hunt, and true to the title of the film, Hunt takes on the seemingly impossible task of trying to avert all out nuclear war against overwhelming odds. This primary season and the run up to it appear to present patrio...

I know it’s about as edgy as a beach ball to criticize Boehner at this point, but asking him to act in the best interest of sincere fiscal conservatism was like having Jane Fonda give advice on how to age gracefully. Do you know why Democrat majorities are so tremendously successful in achieving the goals of their agenda? It’s because even the most moderate members of their part...
It’s time to face the facts. We no longer have any privacy. Certainly not like what we used to enjoy, if a truly private moment was sought. Every phone now comes with a camera, and with an internet connection – so the photos and videos shot with said camera can be quickly downloaded to any number of web sites for anyone on the planet to peruse should they have the morbid curiosity to do so. Ca...
The TSA is no longer the frontrunner in the Killers of the Constitution Contest for year 2011. The judiciary– on both the state and federal level– has officially entered the competition and I gotta tell you, we might as well give them the crown now. When I wrote last November about the Department of Homeland Security declaring it a terrorist act to speak out against TSA policy, I t...
I’ve got a confession to make: I was an initial supporter of the Patriot Act. For those who are warming up their Neo-Con branding iron as they’re reading this, I’ll add the qualifier that I was too young for a driver’s license at the time, so you can’t really hold it against me that I wasn’t well-versed on slippery-slope erosions of Constitutional rights. Anyhow, America was finall...
Every day it becomes more apparent that the more laws and regulations government bestows upon us, the less productive we become as a society. Now before anyone gets their panties in a wad – I am NOT an anarchist – I certainly understand why it’s important to protect children and the elderly from anyone who might take advantage of them in any way. But those laws fall under the category of “...
I didn’t know if I was going to make it, but I survived another season of black holidays. First MLK Day, then Black History Month… I’m not forgetting anything race-oriented that comes up in Spring or Summer, am I? Because I don’t know that I could handle it. It’s not that I’m racist, it’s that I’m sick of racism. Every January through February the racists come out in full swing...
Somebody dial whine-one-one and call Nancy Pelosi a waaaaahmbulance, she thinks it was “completely inappropriate” that Bill O’RINO asked Obama what it’s like to be hated. Compared to what I would have asked him, that question was downright softball. What I want to know is whether it’s a coincidence that he so often sounds like the collectivist caricatures from Atlas Shrugged, or if a...
Last summer, when the possibility of a GOP takeover of the House finally seemed within grasp, I hypothesized that after a 1994-style election that Obama would make an attempt at Clinton-esque triangulation. It seems like I was right—except that I neglected to predict that his efforts to be seen as moderate would be even more transparent and laughable than they were during the ’08 election. I...
(Warning: Language) Remember Charles Manson? Charlie, of course, was the patriarch of what came to be known as the Manson Family, a nomadic gaggle of drug-abusing flower children whose adventures culminated in a psychotic blood-rampage throughout the Los Angeles area in 1969. (Charlie’s family didn’t just snuff their victims’ lives, either; they…did things.) Charlie had built up a f...
