In the fall of 1972, I hitchhiked from Utah to Panama- via Nevada, California, Arizona, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. While my entire adventure was an intense experience, my focus today is on the two weeks I spent traveling through Mexico- from San Luis to Tapachula. It was a different world then- not without danger, but certainly dramatically safer than Mexico of today. At times I slept hungry along the…

Though deep in my gut I utterly despise Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi, a tiny part of me is beginning to hope the bum manages to resist all UN efforts to remove him from power. Guess that means that in the silent depths of my soul, I despise the United Nations even more than I do Gaddafi.…

As our military intervention continues in Libya, public opinion appears to be rising in favor of it. Therefore, I feel compelled to devote yet another post, my fourth this week, to this treasonous Executive Branch insanity.
First, President Obama unlawfully entered the Libyan civil war without approval of the…

Ronald Reagan sure had it right. Perhaps the worst-case scenario in a personal emergency is to answer an arrogant rapping at your door- and have some dumb bureaucrat babble that he’s from the government and there to help. Yup, that would make a great political cartoon- Barry Obama standing on Libya’s doorstep- and announcing that he’s there to help.…

When President Reagan hit Libya in 1986 with appropriate air strikes in retaliation for Gaddafi’s state-sponsored terrorism, his message was heard loud and clear by the rogue dictator. However, when President Obama joined with the UN to enter a full-scale war against Gaddafi, not to mention taking sides in that country’s civil war without the approval of the US Congress, Barry’s flagrant disregard for the US Constitution became…

The present crisis still unfolding in Japan is horrible beyond human ability to express- but there is a critically important lesson we must learn from this unspeakable disaster. Many months ago I warned that our runaway national debt, since then having been greatly exacerbated by additional mindless Congressional deficit spending, would weaken our ability to meet the strenuous demands of significant natural disasters of our own- or myriad…

Having oft targeted the Federal Reserve as the elitist weapon of choice to punish and subjugate the American middleclass, I’ll give the Fed a bit of a rest today- and focus primarily on the Environmental Protection Agency, perhaps the second greatest misnomer in our history. Just as the Fed is neither federal nor a reserve, the EPA neither effectively protects our environment nor preserves our natural resources. It is simply…

Sharon Rondeau, Post & Email, 5 March 2011: “On 6 January 2011, the newly-seated House of Representatives began its session by reading portions of the US Constitution aloud on the House Floor during its first full day in session, an event which was open to the public. When Rep. Frank Pallone read the… Continue

When the New York Times began publishing the Pentagon Papers on 13 June 1971, it heralded the beginning of the end of unwise US military involvement in Vietnam- the sad jungle quagmire also known as Johnson’s War. It was Daniel Ellsberg who supplied those top secret documents to the Times- and for his efforts, he barely escaped going to federal prison. The Pentagon Papers represented the WikiLeaks of that era.…

Yes, Governor Mike Huckabee has proven himself as a glib and glamorous gabber on FNC- but something in my gut tells me he’s just as phony as Barry Obama. And sure enough, Huck is pretty slick at talking his way out of a tight spot- but we’ve had enough “smoke and mirror” rhetoric from Zero.
According to Judicial…

The Taxed-Enough-Already are engaged in a game of neither chance nor checkers- but a most complicated game of chess. And in this critical contest for our liberty, I admit ranking among the lowest of Soldiers who labor to place the opposition’s well-protected king in check- though King Teleprompter himself is but a miserable pawn in the greater globalist game. In my zealous pursuit of the opposing king, however, I have politely refrained…
