Where To Start With Wealth Redistribution

In a bi-partisan effort to help our soon-to-be President Elect, I have an idea as to where he can start with his wealth redistribution.
Oprah Winfrey has a net worth of $2,700,000,000. George Soros has a net worth of $9,000,000,000. Warren Buffet is worth $62,000,000,000. And while he doesn’t seem to be a flaming Democrat, Bill [...]

Thanks, Pope

The Vatican has “forgiven” John Lennon for a remark he made about the Beatles being more popular than Jesus.
What?
That makes no sense. There’s nothing to forgive. He wasn’t bragging, just making an observation. If you think about it, it was an observation that condemned organized religion. In other words “Why are we more popular than [...]

Ignorance Really Is Bliss

I realize that voting is a right. But as with all rights, there are responsibilities. If you choose to stay uninformed about the candidates before an election and then still exercise your right to vote, then you’re a very irresponsible person.
It turns out that Obama’s voters were some of the most irresponsible voters.
Zogby released the [...]

In Case You Forgot

Watch this if you need a reminder of what it means to be a conservative.

This is just about as timely today as it was 40 odd years ago. It’s amazing that liberals have used the same playbook all these years.
My favorite quote: “The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just [...]

Hello Americans! This Is Not Paul Harvey

One of my morning routines is to sit in my truck in the parking lot at work and listen to Paul Harvey News & Comment.  But over the last several months, Paul Harvey, Jr. has been doing the broadcast.
Back a few years ago, it was announced that Fred Thompson would take over for Harvey while [...]

NASCAR: All Over But The Shouting

About nine o’clock on Sunday night, I realized I’d completely missed the Phoenix Cup race. As it turns out, I didn’t miss much. Jimmie Johnson won again and virtually clinched the title. Here are a few random thoughts I’ve had about the race and the season.

Top Dog: You’ve got to wonder what Jeff Gordon’s thinking. [...]

An Idea for a New Way To Choose the President

Driving into work this morning, it hit me: the whole election/voting process is broken.
Fortunately for mankind and the future of America, I have a solution.
First a little background. Hidden amongst all the pre-election stories proclaiming an Obama landslide were a few that indicated otherwise. The most telling one was produced by, of all people, Howard [...]

Now I Know What Hope Is

One of Barack Obama’s central campaign themes was “hope.” At the time, it made little sense to me. What were people supposed to hope for? Better times? Better living conditions? More money from the government? That the government would stick it to those rich folk?
But just three days after this historic election, I now know [...]
