Y'know, I always thought profiling was a bad thing; liberals sure do hate it, even when it works. Maybe especially then; it often proves their ideological faiths to be misplaced. I've been engaged for some time now, in an ongoing debate in my local paper's Editorial/Opinion pages. For several months, another writer has been blatantly ‘profiling’ me. It’s amusing, really, this tendency liberals have, to assume that every Republican-voting, Limbaugh-listening conservative&m...
The liberal Media-at-Large has spent the last year or so in spasms of rapturous ecstasy, hyperventilating like Beatles fans in 1964 at every idle utterance of B. H. Obama, our soon-to-be President. Brainwashing generations of willing Republicans, Democrats, and their liberal/leftist hangers-on--and browbeating the rest of us—they carried him to the White House, by endlessly regaling Americans with tales of his imposing brilliance, his blinding greatness and his totally awesom...
(This started as a response to a Letter to the Editor of my local paper, which indeed asked the title question. They allow 500 words; being me, I just couldn't stop. So, here you are.---RW) Allow me to answer that: The 1960s happened. A generation came of age, then, in prosperity unmatched in human history. Resulting from their parents’ experiences--economic depression and savage world war—Baby-boomers were often coddled, sheltered fro...
........to visit the old neighborhood....I'm diggin' the new look, Drag! New features....looks good. I missed it here, and thought I'd drop in to hi. I still see a few familiar names on the mailboxes as I walk down the street. Place looks good. It's been over a year since my last post, and I'm sorry I got away. For those that may remember, the whole thing with Bakerstreet kind of did JU in for me for a while, and I got out of the habit, but hey, I recovered. Maybe I'll drop by later and pos...
Glenn Beck made a good point the other day; he was doing a monologue about Potter-mania, and opined that these stories, like "Lord of the Rings" and the "Star Wars" saga (I personally would even include Indiana Jones and some superhero movies in the batch, too), are so popular because they portray a battle between true, easily-discerned Good and Evil (notice the capital letters). They show good, decent people standing up and opposing Evil; fighting oppression and those who would do violence an...
Global Warming is not going as planned; the disastrously rising temperatures and massive environmental catastrophes activists of the environmental left have sobbed and tooted their horns over for twenty-plus years have not emerged. For this reason, "Global Warming" has been re-designated slightly more vague, less-definable verbiage. Perhaps you’ve heard of it; it’s now referred to as "Climate Change". Global Warming is a lie. After Katrina in 2005, GW proponents hysterically predicted increasin...
Hey, folks.... I'm planning a flag rally for my area; the target date is Saturday, September 1st, from 10am-1pm. If anyone in this general area might like to attend, the site will be the corner of Colliers Way and Pennsylvania Avenue, in Weirton, WV, in front of the Rite Aid drug store. That's a very, very busy intersection, right off Interstate 22, and perfect for this type of thing. Anyone who doesn't know what a flag rally is....it's kind of a "Honk if you love America" thing. It's simp...
Man, I have to vent to someone.....I was just watching the Today Show, and they did a whole big thing on The Summer of Love. Praising how great it was...the music, the clothes, the attitudes. Groovy, man. Like, far out. Yeeeeaaahhh, maaaaan.... They interviewed "experts" like some 60s historian (a liberal academician, natch) and "perennial hippie" Wavy Gravy....who has to be 70 years old and still dresses like a clown on bad acid. What a shame to be a ridiculous, frivolous oddity; stuck in...
I copied this from a post on the "Gathering of Eagles" website. It's a very thought-provoking story.----RW The following is a must read for every freedom loving American. If you do not believe that our way of life is threatened by radical Islam, or even if you do believe, you must read this: December 7, 2008 By Raymond S. Kraft December 7, 2008, began inauspiciously. At 0753 at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, the attack that had triggered America's entry into World War II, sixty-seven ...
This article, in a little shorterform, of course, appeared in my local paper a couple months ago as a guest column, under my name. I've re-written it here and there and updated it a little, and so I've made it longer, but the main gist is still there. Sad thing is, I actually had a few people come up to me and thank me for writing it, because they said they'd never seen or read anything like it in their papers or on TV, or had even heard a lot of the information I included. The MSM and its tem...
The text below is taken from www.warroom.com, the website of the "Quinn and Rose Show", a Pittsburgh-based morning talk show. I was listening the morning Quinn broke the story. He reiterated today that they stand by their source, and are receiving "Cease and Desist" threats from DNC lawyers. I bet; hand in the cookie jar time. They were on Hannity with it, too, as she relates in the article. I'm glad they took it on the road; word of this needs to get out. This is just too sleazy to be believ...
Tim Johnson, Democrat Senator from South Dakota, has been out of action for what, nigh on to 6 months, now? He had his bad stroke shortly after the Democrat victory in November and, despite continuing party assurances that he's fine and dandy and reviewing legislation, no one has seen him since. Whispers have recently surfaced, from the people caring for him, that he's in an unresponsive state. SD has a Republican governor, whose job it is to replace Johnson if he can't fulfill his obligations...
I was listening to a talk radio show last week, and the host was addressing the problems Global Warming whackos are presently having. What with dozens dead across the country from the lengthy blast of frigid, wintry weather, cities buried under snow banks, billions lost in crop revenues ---in California, no less---from a severe cold snap, freezing cold in Florida, etc., it would seem difficult to continue to convince the sheeple of their claims of imminent, superheated climatic doom. The hos...
I recently got a phone call from a good friend, Jessie Hawken. Her husband, Brent, is in the Army. Brent and Jessie both are from Follansbee, WV, just south of Weirton, but now live in Washington State, where Brent is stationed at Fort Lewis. Brent is soon to be shipped out to Afghanistan, where his unit will be deployed for a year. Goody bags and care packages, assembled by the wives and families of his unit’s Family Readiness Group, will be sent out to the members of the unit throughout the ...
My son will be 20 this year. That’s hard to believe, you know? I recently found a bunch of baby pictures and such that I hadn’t looked at in years, and I’ve been reminiscing a little about the past. I wanted to write down this particular item for your review and enjoyment, since I find it moderately amusing now. Like the Johnny Cash song says, "We got married in a fever/hotter than a pepper sprout/ we been talkin’ ‘bout/Jackson/ever since the fire went out." And it went out quickly. Th...
