Dissecting Leftism (2009-08-06 05:39) - (USA)
Health Reform and Obama's Tax Pledge Excerpt from Karl Rove Public support for his plans shrank when Americans saw the trillion-dollar-plus price tag, recoiled from the intrusive expansion of government into patient-doctor decisions, and came to understand the plan was financed in part by huge cuts in Medicare and large tax increases. So, after running into heavy opposition among Congressional Democrats and growing public hostility to his plan, Mr. Obama has now recast the debate as an at

Roller Derby Comes Back From The Dead - (USA)
by Ross Everett Roller Derby was a staple of the early television era and was similar in its promotional format to its better known “sports entertainment” cousin, professional wrestling. It was frequently seen in the same bad timeslots on the same low powered UHF TV stations, and it was run by the same loose confederation of Runyanesque promoters and businessmen that characterized the regional territory era of pro wrestling. Unfortunately, roller derby didn’t catch on the way professional wres

The Fundamental Truth of Basic Facts - (USA)
The April 1935 issue of Congressional Digest featured a debate between American Federation of Labor President, William Green and Neil Carothers, Professor of Economics at Lehigh University, on the topic "Would a Thirty-Hour Week Increase Employment." Carothers presented the "con" position that the adoption of a 30-hour week would defeat its purpose and lower the standard of living by reducing industrial production. A supporter of FDR during the 1932 election, Carothers became an outspoken op

Top Luxury Destinations for Honeymoons - (USA)
Honeymoons are designed to give the newly wed couple a little time alone to enjoy each other before getting on with the business of living. This is supposed to be a romantic adventure for just the two, away from the ordinary. Honeymoons are a time to remember fondly as the years pass by. Some people choose to have a “second honeymoon” many years later to the same destination. So selecting your perfect honeymoon trip is very important and should be carefully considered. What does the couple

Elites Are Out Of Touch - (USA)
From history and heritage to just about everything else, elites are out of touch . . . For liberal elites, belief in gun control and global warming has taken on the character of religious faith. We have sinned (by hoarding guns or driving SUVs); we must atone (by turning in our guns or recycling); we must repent (by supporting gun control or cap and trade schemes). You may notice that the "we" in question is usually the great mass of ordinary American citizens. The liberal elite is less inter

On Being Human: Within the Limits of Understanding - (USA)
by Tammy Tillotson "The Answer to Human Life Is not to be found within the Limits Of Human Life."--- C. G.

This love of singing has made the reality show American Idol a program that all love to watch. The basis of the show may be similar to other talent contests but the difference lies in the fact that they give the viewers a far more personal look at the contestants involved.They show their families, hometowns and indivi

‘The Turkey Feather Cape’: Tribal Elder Offers Insight into Long-forgotten Native American Artifact - (USA)
ADA, Okla., Aug. 6, 2009 — Cultural artifacts of historical significance are often lost with the passing of time, leaving only those things that have been made of stone or bone - or that have been expertly encased. To the Chickasaw and other southeastern Native American tribes one artifact hard-pressed to withstand the wages of time - the feather cape - was made to honor tribal elders and leaders. Written in the voice of tribal elder Robert Perry, “The Turkey Feather Cape: My Creation from Bey

Sightseeing in Philadelphia - (USA)
Philadelphia is a city that is just steeped in American history, known as being the home to the country’s First and Second Continental Congresses and the ground on which the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were signed and introduced. So its no doubt that the city is chock full of sites rich with historical significance but there are also exciting adventures to be had that have no ties to American history whatsoever.

Littleton, Colorado - the town that’s not so little! - (USA)
Littleton’s roots are embedded in the Pike’s Peak gold rush of 1859. Trade and farming followed, and the area began to prosper. Without easy access to rivers and creeks, however, it became necessary to build a string of ditches to transfer water to business and farms. This presented the need to hire engineers. Among the hired engineers was the city’s founding father, a New Hampshire native, Richard Sullivan Little. He fell in love with the area, scoped out the land that is present day Litt

Thanksgiving, dammit - (USA)
Once again Thanksgiving has come and once again we are treated to the historical revisionism that has become as traditional as turkey and cranberry sauce. In place of the happy talk mythologies of peace, love, and harmony we were spoon-fed as children we find people snarling out dark tales of murder and mayhem by the bloodthirsty "Pilgrims." One such offering is found at The Mahatma X Files and as much as I admire James and regard him as a compatriot, on this I have to call bullshit. Truth be

Those to Whom I Would Like to Offer My Thanks - (USA)
Thanksgiving, properly conceived, is a time to pay tribute, or as Craig Biddle puts it, “say justice“–to those who have created the values that sustain us. In that vein, I would like to offer thanks to those whose life-giving contribution makes it possible for me to stomach the morass of the modern world. This is my “top ten” list of human beings in history, to whom I would like to say “thank you.” Aristotle - “The Philosopher” — the fountainhead of Western civilization — the greatest man of

New York Honors Che Guevara with a Statue On Friday November 21st, while strolling through Central Park’s Doris C. Freedman Plaza, Commentary Magazine’s online editor Abe Greenwald noticed a statue and did a double take. “Is that…Che Guevara?” Indeed! There was no mistaking it: a statue of “El Che” by German artist, Christian Jankowski. Upon investigating the matter, Abe Greenwald learned that, “the sculpture is not intended to depict Che Guevara,” but rather a street performer from Barc

Best of Michigan Redneck; Everday Can be Veterans Day - (USA)
Posted by michiganredneck on November 27, 2008 Since this is Thanksgiving and time to spend the time family and friends, this is the time when I get all emotional and play my Elvis Christmas music.
