We’re all Americans…

#Americaindecline…

I love how pretty much the entire media circus is focused on the “hyper-partisan” nature of the Congressional hearings yesterday, but the fact that as our nation’s Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton bungled and then mislead the American people on … Continue reading

The first citizen soldiers in the “War on Terror”…

For me it’s as if it were yesterday. Frankly, I’m not sure that my wife and I have ever truly recovered if you will. We watched in stunned horror as the face of our nation changed forever. We rushed to … Continue reading

“Lives matter”…

Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman summed it up rather neatly when commenting on the murder of one of his deputies. He basically told a throng of reporters gathered to hear the latest information on the investigation into Harris County Sheriff’s … Continue reading

All is as it should be..?

There appears to be some confusion about our current status and/or policy for dealing with Islamic terrorism. Many on the Right believe our president is inept or simply blind to the threat. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Now … Continue reading

Tired…

Notwithstanding the president’s misguided ideological assessment of the violence in Charleston, I’ve still been hesitant to engage in the inevitable debate over gun control which always seems to be at the top of the Liberal solution list. I suppose the … Continue reading

Execution expectation…

Denise and Bill Richard have suffered an unimaginable loss. As a father, I shudder at the thought of the pain they must be feeling. So when Mr. and Mrs. Richard spoke out against the death penalty for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev last … Continue reading

Ideological foolishness at our expense…

To know history is to know the “Crusades” were far more than what modern Islam and even the president of the United States portray them as. In fact much of the time period should be viewed as an east/west defensive reaction to … Continue reading

Not at all surprised…

The very soul of liberty was attacked in France, leaving an entire civilized world to contemplate how far we will allow a blatantly sadistic and inhuman ideology to go. For our part, there has been much written and bloviated about … Continue reading

“Boo-Yah!”… Stuart Scott, 1965 – 2015

I’m remembering Stuart Scot today, not for the color of his skin and the so-called “controversial style” he brought to ESPN, and not because of his heroic and passionate battle with the dreadful disease that took my mom and dad, … Continue reading

Mario Cuomo, 1932 – 2015…

Today we note the passing of three term New York Governor Mario Cuomo, a giant in the world of politics in our country. Out of an abundance of respect, I will not debate his time as governor, but to say this son … Continue reading

One year later…

Remembering those we lost, Krystle Campbell 29, Martin William Richard 8, Lingzi Lu 23, and Sean Collier 26, and their families, as well as the many who were wounded, on this one year anniversary of the bombings at the 2013 … Continue reading

“Lone Survivor”…

Looking into the eyes of Marcus Luttrell, one can see both emptiness and fire, the emptiness of a team player who lost his team, and the fire of a Navy Seal who relishes what all Navy Seals do, the chance … Continue reading

Not in vain…

We have heard it said time and again, “elections have consequences”. Admittedly, I’ve written many pages on that topic since Barack Obama announced his candidacy. All argument aside however, there comes a moment when reality hits you right between the … Continue reading

Veterans Day 2013. Understanding freedom…

I’ve probably heard “it” as many times as I’ve said “it”. And having family and friends who’ve fought and even died for “it”, makes “it” all the more precious to me. Indeed my fellow Americans, “freedom is not free”. Nevertheless, … Continue reading

What would “they” think???

Twelve years later the lessons of 9/11 appear to have faded. Notwithstanding the heroic and sacrificial efforts of our brave military who remain at the gate, the incoherent approach of our current government to the international issues of our time, gives … Continue reading

My future for yours…

I absolutely love watching movies on my iPhone. So last night I decided to watch “Taking Chance”- again. The movie is a poignant and true account of the journey home for Marine Lance Corporal Chance Russell Phelps, killed in action … Continue reading
