Gun Pride Day

I have dubbed the 29th of September as “Gun Pride Day!” Why today? Well, on this day in 1789 the War Department formally established a regular army. And because I love the play on “Gay Pride.” [...]

When Depression Takes Over – Take Your Life Back, Don’t Take Your Life (Part III)

It’s been a rough year for Fort Hood. According to Army officials, there have been 14 suicides at Fort Hood and officials are scrambling to make sense of it. That is a statistic I don’t want [...]

Employment Preference Given to Immigrant Aliens over U.S. Citizens (Issue #469)

You may have noticed Ethiopians collecting tolls in Dallas, or Somalis working for the Texas prison system doing contract work.  Not African-Americans, mind you—we’re talking Africans.  Apparently state agencies hire people on visas and not necessarily [...]

Probably The Funniest Scam Ever

Public Schools Teach Students How to Pray to Allah

At the beginning of 2007, the infamous 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the presence of God in public schools was unconstitutional based on the mythical “separation of church and state” that doesn’t exist anywhere [...]

A Different Type of PTSD Treatment

I’ve been contacted by the Military Channel to publicize a show that will be airing this Sunday, September 19th at 10pm called Horse Sense and Soldiers. I love animals and I know that they can sometimes [...]

Very Interesting

I was sent this video and to be honest, I was shocked. I haven’t seen it anywhere else. In the interest of debate, as an American, if you saw this in our country, would you be [...]

A Tribute to Edward (Ted) R. Hennessy

A few months ago, I signed up at www.dcroe.com to pay tribute to one of the innocent people killed on 9/11. The goal was to bring together 2,996 bloggers, pair them with an individual killed on [...]

Followup To School Pledge Ban

Back in June, I wrote about a school in Massachusetts that had banned the pledge of allegiance in its classrooms. As a means of follow up, I was contacted on an unofficial basis by a member [...]

Attention Military Entitlement Pogues

The DOD is working feverishly to find Soldiers who are “entitled” to stop loss pay that was inacted by Congress last year. The pay is earmarked for those Soldiers who were kept beyond their initial enlistment. [...]
