First, I have a joke. Ted Nugent was recently being interviewed by a French journalist. The journalist asked, "What do you think the last thought is in the head of a deer before you shoot it? Is it,"Are you my friend?` or is it `Are you the one who killed...

I’m working to the conclusion that most of what the “loony left” says is true. Many of their claims towards Bush, the War, and Business Deals are valid. I did not accept that for a long time and have been trying to figure out what was wrong with their...

The Texas Democratic Party is fighting in the courts to keep Tom DeLay's name on the ballot for the November elections. I understand the reasoning behind the move but at the same time it makes them look bad too. Instead of letting us focus on the issues...

It has been a long while since I read Atlas Shrugged, but Galt was a liberator that freed a segment of the population. I took “Who is John Galt” to mean “Where is my freedom”. I might be completely hosing the Rand’s meaning, but Galt was no destroyer....
