Why, Exactly, are Gas Prices So High?
Recently our elected
representatives in Congress interrogated the heads of the major oil
companies (those evil corporations) and wanted to know why these
companies are making a profit for their stockholders. Of course, many of us are
stockholders either through our IRA's, our 401K's, or the stock market. But,
never mind that. "Big Oil" is the evil-doer and the cause for high
gas prices. Oh, really?

Sometimes War Is the Answer
Have you seen the bumper
sticker that reads, "War Is Not the Answer?". I saw one the other day
and thought to myself, "That's a nice sentiment but it is a simplistic,
ill-informed slogan". In truth, war sometimes is the answer. There are
many anti-war protest groups, many of them formed on American university
campuses, which continue to believe that war never changes anything and should
never be considered, regardless of the consequences of not waging war. There read more »
Maybe I'll Let You Own It, Just Don't Conceal It
He's just going to keep on drifting further and further to the Left. Obama in February:"I have no intention of taking away folks' guns.I think it's important for us to recognize
that we've got a tradition of handgun ownership and gun ownership
generally. And a lot of law-abiding citizens use it for hunting, for
sportsmanship, and for protecting their families."

John McCain and Me
In
1968, while serving as an interrogator with the USMC, I was assigned to
the 11th ITT (Interrogation/Translation Team), 3rd Marine Division at
the prisoner-of-war (PW) compound in DaNang, Republic of Vietnam. One
of dozens of interrogations I conducted during my 13-month tour of duty
was with a rather interesting NVA (North Vietnamese Army)
prisoner-of-war who provided some unusual information. As part of our read more »

What If George Bush Were the Republican Nominee?
Consider this. If George Bush were running against Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, how would you vote? What are Bush's positions in the following areas? Are they much different than those of John McCain or, perhaps, are McCain's positions more conservative than those of George Bush?
What McCain has promised to do, if elected: read more »
What Has Happened to Republicans?
Today is Ronald Reagan's birthday. I believe he would be taken aback if he were alive to witness what is taking place within the Republican party today. Assuming Senator John McCain wins the GOP nomination, it will show how the party has been ideologically transformed since President Reagan so adroitly communicated the conservative core values which defined the Republican party in the 1980's. read more »
Legacy of the Baby Boomers
My parents' generation has been called, I believe rightly so, "The Greatest Generation". They were raised as children in the era of the Great Depression, fought and defeated Nazi Germany and Imperialist Japan in World War II, and built a great and powerful American society in the post-war years. I am truly grateful, as we all should be, for the sacrifices and suffering endured by our parents to protect and preserve our country and our freedoms. read more »
