Tom Trento recorded this video, which warns of the growing radical Islamic force in South Florida – the video is a recording of the pro-Hamas demonstrations in Ft. Lauderdale on December 30, 2008. Don’t think this is happening only in the Middle East, Pakistan or in Paris or London and Holland. It is right here. […]

Have A Blessed Feast of Christ’s Nativity
This has been a busy year, a busy holiday season. It’s been so busy, I haven’t been able to find the time (or the energy) to go out, buy Christmas cards, and send them out to everyone. I keep thinking, I know I’m going to forget someone. As I was frantically thinking of this “chore” […]
Politically Correct Seasonal Greeting
A politically correct seasonal greeting that I got as the result of a forward from a friend. I thought it was prertty funny (and sadly, not so funny to some). For My Conservative Friends: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! For My Liberal Friends: Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best […]
Get these RINO’s out of the Party
The following so-called “Republicans” (RINO’S) supported Barack Hussein Obama Jr. for President. Please join me in excommunicating them from the Republican Party by reposting this list and/or sending it to all your Republican contacts!

Stupid Electorate?
A recent Zogby poll shows that only 32% of voters knew that Democrats controlled both houses of Congress. Since 2006, Democrats have controlled both houses – and 68% of voters in 2008 had no idea. This is just one more reason why we need a more educated electorate. This information is pretty easy to find […]
Who Bails Out the Bail-Outor?
In a great column in the Wall Street Journal, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford asked the question: “Who bails out the bail-outor?” The federal government is on a spending spree to “save” the economy – at the expense of the American taxpayer. I think I’ve heard this story before. Every time this kind of attempt […]
Understanding Taxes With Beer
The following easy-to-follow story was put together by David R. Kamerschen, Ph.D., Professor of Economics from the University of Georgia. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like […]
How the Community Organizer Won Florida
Some of us made fun of Barack Obama for being a community organizer – or rather, for having that on his resume for President. Truth be told, it may be that his community organizing skills were the PERFECT skills to run a successful campaign for the highest national office in the land. The Miami Herald […]
Florida’s new (GOP) house speaker: "I think we have momentum back"
Ray Sansom (R-Destin), who takes over as the new Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives confirmed what I posted about in my blog earlier about conservatism remaining strong in the state of Florida. According to the St. Petersburg Times, in his first formal news conference this afternoon, House Speaker-designate Ray Sansom declared victory for […]
Florida: An Example of How Conservatives Win From Principle
While defenders of freedom might feel like they’ve gotten a little kick in the butt last night, we too have reasons to be optimistic. First, I wrote a piece that appeared on our book’s website about the election of Barack Obama. Even though I co-authored a book that was very critical of him, I think […]
