My Rants Issue 2 -- 28 JAN 2011     This represents a periodic (every so often) statement of my rants, my observations, and my wisdom.  The views expressed are mine, and do not represent the views of any organization or association of which I may be a part.  For now.   Read and embrace.     Normally in "My Rants," I point out the, uh, ineptness, shall we say, of conservatives and the American people in general.  Here I will offer some hope.  Note the time of this song (late 1970s).  It happened once, and it can happen again.   Carter=Obama.   Reagan=Palin.   Cold War=GWOT (Global War On Terrorism).   Russians=Sheetheads and Marxists.   Eastern bloc=Islamic world and the Democrat National Committee.   Berlin Wall=That big black block in Mecca.   I could go on, but some of my readers are still too weak for the str...

For those who still blame America for what the sheetheads do, LTC-now-REP Allen West says it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkGQmCZjJ0k As most of you probably know, ACT! for America and the NRA are about the only two issue-specific (national security/GWOT and right to arms/RKBA, respectively) political/activism organizations I support.  While many serious specific issues face America and the Western world, these two cover what have always been in my political view the most serious facing our society, and in fact set the stage for dealing with most of the others.  Visit our News page Lisa Piraneo, Director of Government Relations; Guy Rodgers, Executive Director; and Brigitte Gabriel, on the set of ACT! for America's new television program . The networks airing the show have a presence in over 190 markets nationwide. Check your local listings for Family Net and ALN. The program premieres Feb. 5th at 2:30 PM E...

You know we're going to head right up in to that territory, which is another tax on the american people, we have all this oil in this country, every time the oil debate comes up; we get lectured, 'O it's going to take years to do it.' We could literally do this immediately and here it is; Kuwait, this country would not exist for us and their oil minister is out there lecturing us and basically saying, 'no no no you can handle that, get used to it, we're going to jack up these prices...

Barney Frank, D-Mass., and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, a libertarian and former Republican presidential candidate, have joined forces in pushing for substantial reductions in the defense budget, including closing some of the 600-plus military bases overseas.   "I'll work with anybody," Frank said of the effort , which could attract other liberal Democrats who have tried for years to reduce post-Cold War military spending and tea party-backed Republicans .   And yes, the Tea Party groups (such as they are) are culpable:   That's why tea party groups say if the government is going to cut spending, the military budget needs to be part of the mix .   "The widely held sentime...
