Republic Rules - The U.S.A. is a great representative republic.

Despite denials from about half of our own citizens, it’s readily apparent that changes are happening in the U.S… and not for the better. It’s a sad day, though, when it’s recognized by the Russians:
From Pravda-

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening […]

OK, so Congress causes a problem … the financial mess our country is in … and, while ignoring or denying their involvement, assert that THEY are the only ones who can “solve” the problem. While I have very little confidence that they can (or should) do that, it doesn’t change the fact that Congress […]

I can’t believe it. The President addressed Congress recently and, while he was explaining his decision to take a certain course of action in response to the current economic problems, he lied to everyone. Just like that. No hesitation, no blinking. While looking us straight in the eye.

Americans often talk fondly of our Free Enterprise system and its virtues.  America certainly would not have grown so rapidly to such a height as a world power were it not for the opportunity it offers.  Opportunity for those who are WILLING TO WORK to pull themselves up and become successful in our capitalistic society.  […]

While fingers are pointing in all directions to lay blame for the current financial calamity, and there’s plenty of blame to go around, it seems that most people agree — at least tacitly –  on the root fo the problem.  Getting some to say it out loud is difficult, however, since saying it DIRECTLY seems […]

I’m not going to delve into all the political details that emerged after Sarah Palin was chosen as John McCain’s running mate, but I do find one aspect particularly interesting.  This has nothing to do with the personalities involved in this election but, rather a situation that has come, once again, to the forefront.  Ms. […]
