The 1600 Pennsylvania Street Gang
Monday, Jan 6, 2014

Many of you know I grew up in Boston. No, not outside of Boston. Not north of Boston. Not two hours from Boston. In Boston. I grew up in the days when the Mafia acted in plain view. They were powerful and didn’t care who saw what. They were above the law and knew it. They owned the law and the people...

I Resolve…
Monday, Dec 30, 2013

Not like you care, but you might find some similarities between what you’re thinking and what I’m doing. America’s top five resolutions are: 1) Lose weight; 2) Get organized; 3) Spend less, save more; 4) Enjoy life to the fullest; and 5) Stay fit and healthy. Even more interesting is the percentages...

Standing Up for Beliefs
Monday, Dec 23, 2013

“Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson was recently attacked for basically quoting scripture, albeit loosely, and talking about his beliefs in an interview with GQ magazine. He talked openly about his experiences of working alongside black workers back in his day – and you would have...

Yes, Virginia, Santa is White
Monday, Dec 16, 2013

The left is outraged that Megyn Kelly, a right-wing conservative nutjob who works at Fox, shows her ignorance by claiming Santa Claus is white. Sure, let’s skew history to make the “progressives” feel better. Unfortunately, you can’t change truth just because it makes you feel bad. A young lady...

Doing the Devil’s Work
Monday, Dec 9, 2013

Reports indicate that Westboro Baptist Church plan to picket “Fast & Furious” star Paul Walker’s funeral. This church claims to be a Christian organization acting on God’s behalf. Well, maybe it is. The Bible speaks of two gods in particular: the God of Abraham and the god of this world (aka...

Evangelizing for Atheism
Monday, Dec 2, 2013

We are coming into the “holiday” season. Now I say “holiday” simply to include them all: Hanukkah, Christmas, Festivus, Kwanzaa, winter solstice, etc. The season of festivities at this time of year would not exist if it weren’t for some religious belief system. Most religions “evangelize”...

Demoprisy
Monday, Nov 25, 2013

DEMOPRISY:  the hypocrisy of the Democrat ideology’s reality. It’s real and it happens all the time. Case in point:  Bill de Blasio, recently elected as New York’s new mayor with 73 percent of the vote, has said his first order of business is to shut down all of the non-Planned Parenthood crisis...

Attack on Americanism
Monday, Nov 18, 2013

It seems there is no end to the stories highlighting what appears to be an all-out attack on Americanism. A school district in Sioux Falls, S.D., has decided the Pledge of Allegiance is more of a bother than it’s worth. The school board voted 5-0 to stop the pledge from being recited in high school...

A Scantily Clad Woman Walks Into a Bar…
Monday, Nov 11, 2013

The war on women is brewing up again. Says who? Says feministing.com. In a recent column in a non-conservative blog, the columnist advised parents to warn their daughters about some of the things they can be expected or pressured into when they get to college. Among them, binge drinking. Sounds OK to...

The GOP’s Fault?
Monday, Nov 4, 2013

This week, Obama, Sebelius and Carney introduced new meanings to words like, “Let me make this clear” and “What he really meant was …” and “It’s the Republicans’ fault.” This reminds me of my teenage years. Like “The dog ate my homework” and “You never said it was due today.”...
