Maybe It’s About Time We Deal With Belligerent Governments… In A Positive Way.

Yeah, the good old U.S. has a strong military and we can kick ass when necessary but I think we will all agree that the most powerful element America has in it’s “arsenal” is our economic system.

Is It A Sign That It’s Really Over When The Secret Service Go Home?

Chief of the President’s Security Detail:  “Mr. President, me and the boys have been talking and it seems that since there is no government left, half the population is gone, we can’t communicate with the military, Congress has vanished, and the electricity is not likely going to be turned back on for decades, if at all… well… here’s the keys to the bunker.  We’re heading home.”

Fighting Females: The Enemy Will Care Less About Career Equality

Times are indeed a changin’.

The Pentagon has recently announced that the military will open up combat-related jobs to women.  No doubt this has been a long and thought out decision for the military so I won’t pretend to know it all but there are some concerns that seem to rise to the surface right off the bat here for each and every female wanting to serve in a combat position.

“Django”, The “N” Word, And I’m Confused (Warning: This Post Contains The “N” Word In It’s Original Form)

If you’ve not already seen it, go see the movie Django Unchained.  It’s a fairly decent storyline.. and has well-known actors that do very good jobs at their craft.  But beware.. it’s a Tarantino film.  What does that mean?

Submitted For Your Approval… The Gun Owners Responsibility Act (GORA) of 2013!

I’ve defended our right to keep and bear arms, now it’s your turn to make sure your right does not infringe on mine to exist.

I suppose I should get this idea out there before all the gun control interest wanes and Sandy Hook becomes just another tragic footnote in American history.  Like many thousands of bloggers, I have certainly done my share in keeping interest moving along, although I might find the arguments on both sides a bit.. misdirected… I understand the spirit.  I’ve pointed out my reasons in the few posts I’ve made thus far and I’m not going to bang away at it here.  But let’s try this one on for size.

Inauguration And Our “Gun”Culture

The gun control issue is fresh on our minds and that debate will rage on for years to come.  Internationally we (Americans) are seen as the epitome of gun ownership gone wild and our society is often described as being this one big gun culture, cemented by our Second Amendment, in spite of resulting in umpteen murders and mass shootings in the course of any given year.

“Excuse Me, But Would You Like Your Cup Of Inauguration With One Bible Or Two?”

You’d think in a world of problems of great importance we’d not have to pay attention to something like this but here goes.  I noted a little side blurb on the CNN website regarding an opinion by… Dean Obeidallah, a former attorney, is a political comedian and frequent commentator on various TV networks including CNN. (italics is from the CNN site)

My reason for reading this opinion was more a curiosity from the headline, “Presidents should not swear on a Bible”, that someone was trying to conjure up yet another barrage of the non-use of traditional religious symbolism or verbage on public documents, like money, or on public buildings.  I was wrong, actually.
