It seems every day now, I am listening to the voices of so many I know who still hold tight to their dignity while not having the dignity of a job. It doesn’t matter the lies the Democrats and the Obama Administration can tell me, the day in and day out devastation of those I know, both mental and physical, from which their voices I can hear clearly the reality of this economic damage, and the fears and the actual suffering of good families and decent people is becoming unnervingly difficult to bare, and I know without a doubt that...

I have a question. When Mayor Bloomberg’s mosque goes up on Sept 11, 2011 at ground zero, will the Mullah be shouting the NAWAZ (Allah is great call) six times a day from speakers mounted on top of the building or from minaret as is required by Islam? In other words, as New Yorkers pass the spot, six times a day there will be the broadcasted shouts of the nawaz out to the streets (which start at 4AM in the morning)? I have another question. It is against the dictates of Islam that any parade pass by or along the...

Dr Stuart McBirnie (right) in front of the Berlin Wall where he painted the words “The Wall Must Fall!”. There was a radio talk show by Dr. Steuart McBirnie who broadcast on hundreds of AM radio stations from the 1960s until into the 1980s, “The Voice of Americanism”. This was long before Rush or Levin, Savage or others – there is no denying that through the power of radio, and now the internet, the “silent majority” came to have a voice. Dr. McBirnie was an author of religious commentary and history, but to me he was and always will be...

KIRPAN (THE SIKH SWORD) Author : Unknown The sword has a special place in the history of various religious, cultures and nations. For a Sikh, "Kirpan" is an article of faith. For an initiated Sikh, wearing of a Kirpan is obligatory. An initiated Sikh, not wearing a Kirpan, would be in breach of his faith. Although its form has undergone several changes, sword has been part of the history of the world since pre-historic periods. References pertaining to sword can be found in the history of the Jews, the Christians, the Muslims, the Sikhs, the Japanese, and other national and...

On January 2010 a federal court in Nigeria confirmed his role to state affairs while President Umaru Yar’Adua receives Saudi medical treatment. This is someone who conservatives and “in the know” politicos, hosts, players in world affairs and so on, should get to know and to think about. Here is a Wikipedia link for beginners to get started: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodluck_Jonathan You should understand that this person is very popular on the scene. He is new to the world, and has potential of becoming very important. You should understand him. But as a way of background, he is a member of the...

As there are large protests now in San Francisco against the racial violence that has been ongoing and perpetrated against Asian Americans by black youths, instead I happen to view some local San Francisco television station and they report that the San Francisco “supervisors” are considering having some sort of action/vote/other where the San Francisco Giants baseball team would have to wear jerseys “Gigantos” in protest of the recent Arizona law and to show “solidarity” with “Hispanic immigrants”. Is this true? I searched the same affiliate web page for that news agency and I could not find any information. I...

We often hear from our favorite radio hosts “You’re a Great American”. Well, a legend is gone, and he was a Great American. How often would he say “God Bless You” ? What was it, about him, and his voice? Sort of like a little bit of God was in his voice. What a heart and what a good man. He said in regards to his 92 years that “the good Lord has blessed me with a great journey”. Play by play from 1960 to 1991, and then again from 1993 to 2002 for the Tigers … When I heard...

There are 6.7 billion people on earth. That is my estimation. And I would estimate that several billion of them among the six, they want to come to America and live with us. Do we have room for them? What if several billion of them just, you know, one day get up and just start walking in? “But we have borders, Brian… I mean, like the military will stop them or something …” – you might tell me something like that. No, I am not talking about an aggressive invasion of America by an army of several billion strong. No...

The only possibility of some sort of answer to the costs for health care will come through skill sets that require breaking down the walls of perceptions and mindset and tackling design through creativity, and all the while somehow managing the basic infrastructure at the same time. So obviously, this is beyond the capability of the government, certainly of the current collective of politicians in Congress. And so, the entire program will fail. In the previous Century, the citizens gathered into cities, and in large part such gathering was an outcome of the creativity of these citizens and the people...

The fleur-de-lis or lily flower or perhaps iris folower (Iris pseudacorus) is a symbol used by royalty, it actually has very little resemblance to the lily. It exactly what is really is, whether a flower or a cross, or a trident or other, it certainly passed from Frankish to French Kings. It is a symbol that has also been associated with the Virgin Mary, the lily being associated with Mary, and with Saints. In the time of Joan of Arc, the Chamber of Accounts in France permitted the family to change their surname of du Lys on January 20th, 1430....

Shocking revelations into historical folktales of Virginia reveal that a long time ago, Lexington was given over in a Pact with the Devil by a blacksmith just prior to the Civil War. It is called folktale, but there are many who can vouch for the historical side of Wicked John and the Devil. As for Wicked John whom you have no doubt heard of if you know anything about the Wiley ways of the Red Demon, can say of John “that critter's so mean the buzzards wouldn't claim him”, “Too bad for heaven, too mean for hell”. One of those...

Bill Clinton has his organization on the web collecting donations for the Haitian relief effort. But I am wondering, where is the official George Bush web site where one can make a donation for the Haitian relief effort? Sure, it might be too early to jump on this, but seriously, maybe it’s me but some may want to make a donation through the Bush channels, can someone show me where on the web that might be? “White House Taps Bush, Clinton to Help Lead Haiti Relief” (Fox News) – “...Bush will join up with former President Bill Clinton, who is...

I turn on Dancing with the Stars, and who do I see? Tom Delay! There is also Mark Dacascos the Chairman of Iron Chef America of whom I’m a big fan, so it’s going to be tough “taking sides”. What a surprise! Now let’s see Tom Delay dance! My daughter is in martial arts, so I’m sort wanna’ go with Dacascos, and the added factor that I love Iron Chef America and I love Japanese culture (of course I don’t think Mark is Japanese? Not sure) … You know, I got to give it to Tom DeLay. Gosh, he must...

Free Republic member “Kilroy was Here” has been declared a Nazi and a terrorist by Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, after Kilroy made the following quote that has now become world famous overnight: “Never before, has so less qualified a man, been given so much power, attempting so many things, in so little time, and achieved so few good results, but caused so much misfortune, for so many generations …” Pelosi, a member of the U.S. Congress for California’s 8th District, stated to some journalists for the New York Times that this quote was actually first made before...

When I was a young teenager, I would like to pick up Reader’s Digest and steal a joke from the digest to share with others. I imagined myself a Johnny Carson. Of course that was long time ago, and now I am excited about Jay Leno’s new show and have marked down the date so that I can record the show for a keepsake to share with others. Lately I heard that Reader’s Digest is going bankrupt. Not sure of all the details, but it this came to mind when I noticed a Reader’s Digest for sale at the check...

It is illegal to ride in the trunk of the car. It is also illegal to ride in the trunk while under the influence of alcohol. This also applies to being under the influence of other toxins and riding in the trunk. If you are found to have been riding in the trunk while under the influence, the penalties for riding in the trunk while under the influence increase the violation of riding in the trunk. It is illegal to drive a car with a live deer in the trunk. If you hit a deer while driving your car, and...

One of the responsibilities that we have as individuals is to recognize our freedom of choice. But for those who are members of the Obama cult, there is no room for freedom of choice. Because it’s all about developing a tremendous following, and while the members of the Obama cult lose themselves and are lost in the numbers of the herd who follow him, the very idea of freedom of choice becomes a threat to the herd, a betrayal, and these same numbers are used to intimidate anyone who would want their own freedom of choice by stepping away from...

I am not Irish nor even Christian but this is probably a good day to share a short pamphlet on Angels from the Kelts of which I am no authority. But there is probably no better authority than fourth Century Irishmen, though the Book of Kells is probably ca. 800 A.D. after the death of Jesus Christ, and being I believe the old school is closer to the real times that they would know better than me. First off, of course, we mush wish everyone a Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, a brave Roman he was being captured by a bunch...
