God given rights E-mail
Written by Bob Sordahl   
Wednesday, 30 September 2009
Today I had an epiphany.  It was as if the sky opened up and revealed to me the basic fundamental universal truth of humanity, responsibility and our relationship with our Government.  The debate over Government controlled health insurance reform has presented to me a matrix by which we can structure our society now and for the future.  It all comes down to one simple concept, that of "God given rights".

The Big Speech E-mail
Written by Dr. Robert R. Owens   
Friday, 18 September 2009
A mass email carried a message from President Obama after his address to Congress.   He asked people to contact their representatives urging them to support his healthcare plan.  Since the Democrats have the votes in both houses to pass any legislation they agree upon why does he need our help to convince anyone of anything?  Was he speaking to the nation or was he trying to rally his Democrat troops to toe the line and pass his bill?

Race Pandering With The Prez E-mail
Written by Bob Sordahl   
Wednesday, 16 September 2009

Jimmy Carter continues to remind us why he presided over the most lackluster, embarrassing single term of any modern President.  Why anyone listens to him or finds him newsworthy is beyond me, but his nutty comments this week have the main stream media buzzing.  I guess race pandering, especially when dished by an ex-president is simply too delicious to pass by, so the major networks gave it more time than deserved.  In doing so, they largely ignored real news about illegal ACORN activity, the war in Afghanistan going badly, medical professionals overwhelmingly opposing the Government health care plan, or the estimated costs of Cap and Trade being many times more than the White House was admitting.  At any rate, the favorite pastime of Liberals, name calling, has taken center stage and the American people are becoming weary of this worn out tactic.

"The Forgotten Man" E-mail
Written by Bob Sordahl   
Monday, 14 September 2009
In 2008, Lil Tuttle wrote a book review of Amity Shlaes' "The Forgotten Man" for the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute.  I could spend a lot of time and energy writing my own review of this excellent book, but at the end of the day, it would be no better or more insightful than Ms. Tuttle's.  Instead I have chosen to  reprint it here.  Hopefully you will find time to read "The Forgotten Man" because it is a glimpse into America's future, drawn from America's past.  Written in 2007, this book really has nothing to do with President Obama, and yet, it has everything to do with President Obama.  If you are concerned about the direction this Country is heading, it is a read well worth your time.

Don't Dilute Your Energy E-mail

Ok everybody, take a deep breath and re-group.  Pick your battles carefully and do not lose sight of the goal.  Everybody is now all excited about President Obama addressing the school children of America.  I've read the speech and it is posted on this site for you to see.  Senator Rick Santorum believes it is a sanitized version of the original speech, rewritten only after questions were raised about the "study guides" sent to teachers by our Department of Education.  Since I can't prove otherwise, I'm willing to take the speech as it now exists at face value and consider it a typical pep talk.  A more important element of this whole story however, is its effect upon our Conservative goals with regard to this administration.
