Ted Rall, over at the Stare Journal Register, warns of tactics that are characteristic of a military dictatorship.quote---In practice, Obama wants to let government goons snatch you, me and anyone else they deem annoying off the street.Preventive detention is the classic defining characteristic of a military dictatorship.

Been a long time without posting. Others say what I want to better than I. I'm busy making a living, trying to keep others out of my pockets, and trying to raise my kids right. Takes a might of time.

From Operation:Mom, a poem:REMEMBERI watched the flag pass by one day,It fluttered in the breeze.A young Marine saluted it,And then he stood at ease.I looked at him in uniformSo young, so tall, so proud,With hair cut square and eyes alertHe’d stand out in any crowd.I thought how many men like himHad fallen through the years.How many died on foreign soilHow many mothers’ tears?How many pilots’

From ABC News: Al Gore's 'Inconvenient Truth'? -- A $30,000 Utility Bill.Back home in Tennessee, safely ensconced in his suburban Nashville home, Vice President Al Gore is no doubt basking in the Oscar awarded to "An Inconvenient Truth," the documentary he inspired and in which he starred. But a local free-market think tank is trying to make that very home emblematic of what it deems Gore's

Johan Norberg of the Wall Street Journal hails the true heroes of the last two centuries, not the bureaucrats or the state, but rather the people who have improved the lives of billions, the innovators and entrepreneurs. He writes...Think for a moment about what this morning would have looked like if it were 150 years ago. You wouldn’t have had electric light, running water or indoor sanitation.

This was passed to me by my father-in-law.This story may serve to help convert some liberals to the conservative way of thinking.A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a liberal Democrat and was for the distribution of all wealth. She felt deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, which she
