The country is under attack by a record breaking cold wave with subzero temperatures we haven't heard about since, well...the first half of the twentieth century, which must seem strange to all you well coddled millennials out there, but yes....it use to get really...really cold when I was growing up in the 1950s. And wait until you hear what it was like when my father was growing up in the 1920s and the local salt water river that flows into the city from the Atlantic froze solid. But I know its hard to conceive of something like that when all...

The following verse is the scripture that Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty paraphrased while explaining his views on homosexuality to a reporter from GQ magazine, Drew Magary, during a relaxing duck hunting trip on Phil’s pristine wilderness property in Monroe, LA. I Corinthians 6: 9-10 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals 10) nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

I found the testimony of the three State Department career personnel, who testified before the House Oversight Committee today not only to be credible, but to be extremely gripping emotionally, despite efforts by Democrats to dismiss it with typical character assasination tactics and accusations of Republican political maneuvering, which appeared to go nowhere. As these three men spoke, who have been referred to in the press as "whistleblowers", you could see and hear them overcome with emotion, choking up as they described the day in which former US Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone...

According to an article published at Breitbart.com., entitled "Pentagon May Court Martial Soldiers Who Share Christian Faith, Christians in the military, including chaplains, could be court martialed and charged with treason for sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. I don't pretend to be an expert on constitutional law, but I would think that this would be unconstitutional for many reasons. Of course, I felt that way about Obama Care until Chief Justice John Roberts weighed in, much to my utter surprise and disappointment. (I may never get over that) But if I can be allowed to reason in my common...

The Mass GOP Corruption scandal, regarding the delegate selection process to the GOP convention in Tampa, has legs and is growing. If the State Committee is smart, they’ll make this whole matter go away by reconsidering their vote, as this has the potential to hurt Mitt Romney.

50,000 hard core America hating leftists and environmental demagogues, who envision controlling the world through establishing choke-holds on economic growth, that they prefer to call “smart growth” or “sustainable development”, are presently meeting in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil for the RIO + 20 United Nations Conference. The conference marks the 20th anniversary of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED, in Rio de Janeiro , and the 10th anniversary of the 2002 World Summit on sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg and is scheduled to conclude today with the signing of a watered down agreement that won't make...

Sixty SouthCoast Residents learned about Agenda 21, SmartGrowth, Sustainable Development and other threats to their constitutional right to own property at an informative presentation at the Fall River Public Library in Fall River, MA. monday evening This group of patriotic and concerned citizens took time out of their busy lives to learn the facts about a devious plot hatched at the United Nations in 1987 under the guise of “saving the planet and the environment", called Agenda 21. They had all heard the horror stories of communities and businesses severely inundated by ridiculous environmental regulations and restrictions from a vast...

Red Mass Group is reporting that the Romney Campaign is planning on decertifying the Ron Paul delegates that won positions at the MA State Caucuses on April 28th to the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida under the “Ronald Reagan Unity Liberty Slate, by invoking Rule 5.2, which requires delegates to be certified by the “allocation committee.” Translation: We aint certifying no stinking Ron Paul Delegates

The commotion over the You Tube video, seen below, of Rick Perry’s speech in New Hampshire Friday night, which has gone viral on the internet, is an illustration of the type of cultural clash commonly found during Republican Primary campaigns during the present Red State vs Blue State era that divides the country in many ways. Here you had a born again, cheerful, passionate, sincere, spirit-filled Christian from Texas and an Internet audience of cynical bigoted, well educated mush-for-brains graduates of our finest universities, I suspect who are also probably liberal in political orientation. The later does not include the...

Like Queequeg in the 1851 novel Moby Dick, by Herman Melville, President Obama began building his own coffin with his “American Jobs Bill” speech last night. None of his proposals will spur growth in the private sector and I believe he knows it and simply doesn’t care. As long as the economy continues to tank and America continues to lose influence in the world, he’ll be happy to begin his campaign now and blame Republicans in every speech for not getting on board, even though I’m sure they will support many of his proposals like 1) the extension of unemployment...

A fervent supporter of Earl Sholley’s Primary opponent, Sean Bielat, who blogs on behalf of Bielat using the screen name, demolisher, posted a thread at a Massachusetts progressive-republican website, Red Mass Group, entitled "Outstanding Jacoby article on Sean Bielat". The Boston Globe article which was essentially a puff piece by Jeff Jacoby on Bielat entitled "The man out to topple Barney Frank" was seen as an endorsement of Bielat in the Sholley camp by the influential conservative journalist and his ultra liberal Globe editors just days before the two candidates run in the Republican primary on Tuesday.Demolisher conveniently overlooked the...

As we approach the September 14th Republican Primary it is anticipated that many disillusioned Democrat voters and Independents in MA-04 will be requesting a Republican ballot in order to take the first step towards removing Barney Frank as representative for the 4th Congressional District. Frank is one of the members of Congress that is most responsible for the financial meltdown which led to the present Recession and skyrocketing unemployment figures. I have been supporting the candidacy of a true conservative in the tradition of Ronald Reagan named Earl Sholley (R), from Norfolk, MA who is presently involved in a brutal...

The verdict is in: Earl Sholley, tea party candidate for Congress from the Massachusetts 4th Congressional District cleaned Sean Bielats clock during a debate on radio station WXKS, Rush Radio 1200, in Medford, MA on Aug 12, 2010 on the Jeff Katz Show. The only poll taken of this debate which received absolutely no coverage from the liberal mainstream media in obvious deference to incumbent Barney Frank was an internet poll which showed Sholley was the clear winner at 54% while Bielat received 46% of the total vote. Not surprisingly, Earl Sholley, whom I support and have great respect for,...

Thursday morning, August 12, there was a debate on Rush Radio with Jeff Katz. It was the first time both candidates had debated each other. Although the Bielat campaign had refused to debate Sholley for many months now, they finally relented and allowed the debate to take place even if it was at the absurd time of 7:00 AM At the moment a poll at the Fleming and Hayes website has Sean Bielat (46%) and Earl Sholley (54%) out of a sample of 1522 voters.

Thursday morning, August 12, there was a debate on Rush Radio with Steve Katz. It was the first time both candidates had debated each other. Although the Bielat campaign had refused to debate Sholley for many months now, they finally relented and allowed the debate to take place even if it was at 7:00 AM while most people were trying to survive rush hour traffic, or gulping down a well needed cup of coffee. Still all and all I was glad they were finally discussing the issues, and found the confrontation quite refreshing and long overdue. At the end of...

I’ve always felt that skill at articulating a persons thoughts meant more to members of the media who make their living using their verbal skills than it does to the rest of us who are usually more concerned with what people say than they are with how they say it. I remember when Dan Quayle was ridiculed by the national media for correcting a student's correct spelling of "potato" to "potatoe" at an elementary school spelling bee in Tiverton, New Jersey in 1992. He later wrote in his memoirs that it was spelled that way on the card the school...

This past week the nation's and the state of Massachusetts's latest Senator Scott Brown voted “yes” on a financial reform bill that Rush Limbaugh said no conservative anywhere would vote yes for causing much discussion and a sense of grave concern for the future as Obama expects to send even more radical legislation through before the next congressional term begins. Additionally White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs revealed this week that the administration is expecting that the Republicans will regain control of the House at the very least, which almost caused an insurrection amongst Democrats in the House against the...

Earl Sholley would make a great replacement for Barney Frank in the Massachusetts 4th Congressional District which the moderator for this interview in the following video, “Civic Action (Part 1) Jackie Morrisey on Newton Public Access, mentioned as the most important race in the up and coming Congressional Elections. Of course Earl has to get through a tough Primary fight with the favorite son of the State and National Republican Party, Sean Bielat who is backed by the RINOs who are trying to run Conservatives like me and most Sholley supporters out of the party. Sean is raising large sums...

Last week we witnessed a disturbing though certainly not a surprising event in our nation's capital when President Obama’s nominee for the United States Supreme Court, Elena Kagen refused to answer directly the question posed to her by Senator Tom Coburn during her Supreme Court confirmation hearings about whether or not she believed in rights that are inherent to us. Though falling short of an emphatic denial, this evasive maneuver might better be described by saying she conspicuously declined to affirm such a belief. In any event it left me feeling that Republicans must demand a filibuster so they can...

This week I believe we witnessed an incredible and frightening event in our nations capital when President Obama’s nominee for the United States Supreme Court, Elena Kagen, stated emphatically that she didn’t believe in rights that are inherent to us. Denying natural rights and natural law during a week leading up to the day in which we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence strikes me as a distortion of the deeply held religious beliefs of the signers of this sacred document which clearly states “we are endowed by our creator with inalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the...
