Does the Sovereignty Movement Go Far Enough? E-mail
Written by Dr. Robert R. Owens   
Tuesday, 26 May 2009

It’s hard to be a conservative when there’s little left to conserve.  The increasing pace of America’s progression from free markets to a command economy has reached such a pace and become so obvious the Russian Prime Minister used his spotlight time at the World Economic Forum to warn America not to follow the socialist path.  Now the Russian newspaper Pravda, once the leading communist voice on earth published an article entitled, “American capitalism gone with a whimper.”  People around the world can see the individual decisions of producers and consumers are being replaced by the form letters of a faceless central-planning bureaucracy even if the Obama boosters still haven’t swallowed the red pill and watched the matrix dissolve.

"Where Others Feared To Go" E-mail
Written by Bob Sordahl   
Friday, 22 May 2009

ImageI was that which others did not want to be.
I went where others feared to go,
and did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing,
and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness.....should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror; felt the stinging cold of fear;
and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment's love.
I have cried, pained, and hoped.....but most of all, 
I have lived times others would say were best forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was.....
A SOLDIER.

Sliding Down A Slippery Slope E-mail

Some people act as if America is about to morph into a European- style socialist state by the time they wake-up tomorrow or at least before they finish reading the latest edition of the New York Times.   These unreconstructed Reaganites have the nerve to walk around carping and complaining that the Constitution is being left in the dust.  Acting as if some extreme leftist clique has somehow duped the American public into giving the executive branch to an  inexperienced, unknown commodity backed-up by a shoot-from-the-lip knee-jerk liberal with a rubber-stamp Congress drooling at the prospect of getting five more Ruth Bater Ginsbergs on the Supreme Court.  If you fall for their caterwauling you'd think we had a President who insulted our best friends the Brits, bowed to the Saudi King, and announced we're no longer a Christian nation while apologizing for America's arrogance in what he recognized as a Muslim nation. Or one who hung out with Chavez and Ortega as he opened the doors for Castro.  How preposterous!

Say Goodnight Nancy E-mail
Written by Bob Sordahl   
Sunday, 17 May 2009
If you've been reading my posts for any length of time, you are aware that I'm no fan of Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.  To this day, I am convinced that Pelosi was the chief architect of Hillary Clinton's defeat in the Democratic primaries.  There is only room for one queen bee in any hive.  In addition I believe the Speaker thought that Obama would be easier to manage than the tenacious Senator from New York.  But now, the all powerful Speaker of the House is skating on very thin ice indeed and may find herself frozen out by her own party.

What’s a Conservative? What’s a Liberal? What does it matter? E-mail
Written by Dr. Robert R. Owens   
Wednesday, 13 May 2009
For the first two of these questions change the words Conservative and Liberal into Republican and Democrat and the average voter would immediately chase the cheese through the mental template the media wants us to use as a substitution for thought.  However, there are Blue-Dog Democrats (Conservatives) and Republicans in Name Only (Liberals). In reality both parties are led by interchangeable Big-Government Tax-and-Spend what-ever-you-want-to-call-them political hacks.
