We all remember the horrible ordeal of 33 mindrs in Chile who narrowly escaped disaster when their mine collapsed last fall. As we all knew, a movie is in the works. There is a lesson here for the critics of capitalism. Of course, leftists will argue that there wouldn’t have

Protesting what our government does without a long-term purpose and plan is foolish and dangerous. It opens the door to political messiahism, the belief that if we get a new ruler, president, congress, or whatever, everything will be OK. Look what’s going on in Egypt and Libya. Out of the

Almost every conservative talk show is pushing gold and silver as a hedge against inflation, the devaluation of the dollar, and protection against uncertain economic times. Glenn Beck has been the most vocal proponent of owning gold, so much so that some liberals have called for an investigation. These are

Harold Camping is at it again. According to his calculations, today — October 21, 2011 — is supposed to be the end. He’s made this type of prediction before, in 1994 and May 21st of this year. He will be wrong today. I’m so sure of this that I’m on

Republicans have disappointed conservatives for a long time. Establishment Republicans want power so they can spend the same amount of money as Democrats but in different ways to protect their business buddies. We saw this in the three Bush administrations, especially with the younger Bush with a program like No

Black racists are coming out of the woodwork. It’s hard to imagine how vile and bigoted they are in their attacks on Herman Cain. Such treatment has a long history. Today, it’s an industry. A number of black “leaders” (e.g., Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) have made their living by

Waymaker Communications, a full-service printing company based in Powder Springs, Georgia, contracted with another printing company to print some specialty bumper stickers for a client. The Bumper stickers were of GOP presidential candidates Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, and Ron Paul. When the boxes were opened, the owners noticed

Julianne Moore is an actress. This means she is privileged and worth a lot of money. Her guilt for doing almost nothing of redeeming value is showing. She has to justify her existence when so many people around her, I should say, no one around her, pays bloated prices to

Our elected officials have denounced cigarette smoking as a health hazard and a drain on the nation’s healthcare system. They tell us that even second-hand smoke can kill you. To get people to stop smoking, laws have been passed to increase the tax on a pack of cigarettes at the

The folks at the Washington Post are questioning the business acumen of Herman Cain. This would be funny if it weren’t so sad. Our president came into office with no business experience, either good or bad. Even bad business experience can be good. It tells a person what not to

It depends which end of the political spectrum you’re on. If you’re a liberal, everybody who does not agree with you is a Nazi. So it was OK for Susan Sarandon twice to call Pope Benedict a “Nazi.”1 It’s not that Sarandon was not condemned. She was. Political journalist and

Richard Dawkins, the high priest of today’s modern-day religion of evolution, has written a children’s book with the title, The Magic of Reality: How We Know What’s Really True. When a scientist tells you that he knows what’s really true, he is being a philosopher not a scientist. There are

Who do you think got the better deal in the Israeli/Palestinian swap? Sgt. Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier, was freed after five years of captivity by Hamas militants. In a hard-won deal, Israel agreed to grant freedom to 1,027 Palestinian prisoners. 477 prisoners were freed on Tuesday, including 27 women

President Obama is trying desperately to sell his healthcare program to the nation. He tried the white coat treatment in 2009 by staging a photo op at the White House Rose Garden with 150 doctors in tow from the 50 states. How would the people know that these men and

I was looking forward to the next ‘Star Trek’ film. After the story about Zachary Quinto telling the world that he engages in homosexual sex, I’m not sure if I can watch the sequel. Can’t these guys keep what they do behind closed doors behind closed doors? I don’t want

The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) crowd that President Obama is supporting without reservation is a diverse and scary group of malcontents. We’ve learned that Nazi and Communist groups have embraced the movement, but for different reasons. “The Nazis equate capitalism, which the demonstrators are opposed to, to their hallucinations of

Several articles have been published recently about the Great Seal of the United States. In commemoration of the Seal, there was a traveling interactive exhibit. Like so many stories about our nation’s past, there has been a lot of fiction written about the meaning of the several designs on the

While you can’t judge a book by its cover, you can judge it by those who endorse it. Consider Alan Dershowitz’s Blasphemy: How the Religious Right is Hijacking our Declaration of Independence.1 The book is endorsed by at least two high-profile published atheists (Steven Pinker and Sam Harris), the president
