Epic Fail: Health Care Reform

This story originally appeared on my blog The Silent Majority" I suppose it was a foregone conclusion that health care legislation would pass. That does not soften the blow in anyway; much like the expected death of a close family member this bill will likely signal the...

Damn Conservative racists!

The right of revolt.

The greatest hoax ever!

Originally posted on http://silentmajority09.blogspot.com With cap and trade looming large on the horizon the global warming debate has moved into high gear. Proponents claim that the science is settled and that those who say otherwise are akin to holocaust deniers. But is...

Tales from the COP side.

Traffic court is usually a snoozer. It always manages to land on my day off and after a midnight shift. I trudge in half asleep and ready to just commit suicide by contempt but there are those gems that make chronic sleep deprivation worth while…Defenses that didn’t seem...

Where's your crown King nothing?

Have become a nation of debtor kings sitting proudly upon our throne of affectations? I would be inclined to answer in the affirmative and the evidence tends to support the assertion. We have become little more than the sum total of our possessions; blithely mortgaging our...

No middle class tax cut? What happened?

Obama's middle class tax cut may not survive budget. So read the ABC News headline. I was reminded of Bush Sr.’s “no new taxes” rhetoric and more of the same from his successor Bill Clinton. Is it realistic to expect Obama to hold true to his promises of a middle class...

All the things I hated about Bush and the neocons.

Let me count the ways that Bush and like minded conservatives have let me down. When Bush took office I was filled with a sense of good things to come. As a conservative I was ready to put the Clinton era behind me and start fresh. Things got off to a rocky start and on...

American Unity.

Watching the dialogue between politicians is one thing, I expect them to do or say whatever serves their political end game. They have only one goal and lack any true principles or deep rooted moral code. What disturbs me is the discourse between ordinary citizens. It seems...

We suffer from battered nation syndrome.

Obama was touted as a new kind of politician, the defender of the down trodden, the bringer of hope and change, the savior of us all. A new kind of politician ? It seems now that the shine has worn off and veneer has been stripped away even his most ardent supporters are...
