I just read the news brief on the Earthquake in Pakistan. It was an 8.2 – big quake. In order to lend credence to the story the reporter quoted several local people, basically eye witnesses. She said that one “texted” her. I would expect that a journalist would have at least a rudimentary command of the language she was writing; putting this in print cheapens her as a reporter and certainly sends an interesting message from her editor, who ever would allow this to appear in print must be a real intellectual and linguistic pigmy.

The following is the best way to honor Martin Luther King, Jr.:

a.  Be unfaithful to your spouse
b.  Become a communist
c.  Plagiarize your doctorate’s thesis

Note: The above items are a matter of record.  However, you will never see it the main stream media. (Ed.)

What you are about to read, is lengthy, yet important, in the understanding of the funding and politics, which is the devastation, caused by Affirmative Action – a misnomer, if ever there was one. So, I may ask, who gained freedom from this misguided program, and who was enslaved? No one gained their freedom – for there was nothing achieved by these actions – other than a big bill. (Ed.)

The U.S. will need another twenty-five years to eliminate race as a significant factor in higher education participation – at least according to a recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. In this decision, the Justices, while upholding “affirmative action”, tied its further use to an uncommon expiration date: the Court ruling allows public and private universities to continue using race as a factor in their student admissions for another 25 years. The higher education community anxiously awaited the ruling all summer of 2003. The impact of the decision was expected to reach far beyond university life, since the issue touches upon highly sensible areas of U.S.-American society.

Awhile back I sent off a letter to Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, questioning some things he said in regards to the Second Amendment. I really didn’t expect a reply, and told him as much in my letter. However, much to my surprise, last week I received not only a reply, but the two thick documents, the two cases of D.C. v Heller, and McDonald et al v City of Chicago, both cases in which the court had ruled upon issues pertaining to the Second Amendment.

I took these court rulings to work and the typical response was that they were just too lengthy to be read. Yet I find them fascinating. I not only learn from them, but they also give me a glimpse into the minds of the men whose decisions can either lead to the infringement of my rights, or, at the least, set precedents which could lead to more of my rights being infringed upon.

“Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world.” – Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

I denounce last weeks tragic shooting in Arizona which resulted in the death of six people and the critical wounding of twenty, including Arizona Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords.

I feel that this was a very heinous crime, and should not go unpunished. The offender needs to be put out of his misery as an object lesson to the bleeding hearts who are burning out their brains thinking of ancillary reasons for this brutal attack.

“When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.” – Thomas Jefferson

Many of Thomas Jefferson’s quotes were prophetic in nature. Not because he could foretell the future, but because he could read the past very well. It seems that man is doomed to continuously repeat history, with pretty much the same results each time. Man is done in by his own habitual nature and the lack of sufficient long-term memory. He forgets easily. So much of what has happened to America today, was predicted very early on in its history, largely because of man’s “herd” instinct. Someone whistles and the herd comes a runnin’, like Lemmings over a cliff.

So, you think that you know your American History! How many of you were taught this bit of history? How did this truth alter the direction of the newly founded Republic? And you REALLY believe that Ron Paul will change the course of history? Wake up!!! (Ed.)

Hamilton was a rat from the get go.

Back in the day, way back in the day, there were two young lads who convened on somewhat of a regular basis at the Dickson Street Pool Hall in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

The two of us were alleged to be students at the University of Arkansas and certainly neither of us could be construed as candidates for Phi Beta Kappa. 8-Ball was our game, certainly not those boring classes.

It’s the curse of having sat through too many local town council meetings and too many speeches by politicians; it’s taking notes as they speak because you want to keep what’s said fresh in mind. Regular folks don’t do this, but anyone who has spent any time as a reporter will tell you it is a hard habit to break.

So, on Tuesday, January 11, I found myself taking notes as New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie, gave his first constitutionally required State of the State speech.
