Merry Christmas!
There—I said it. Sue me.
Okay…in all seriousness, it happens every December: one of the most pathetic and sorry examples of Political Correctness out there. I’m referring, of course, to the effort to suppress Christmas in the public square—to the point of not even saying “the C word”.
When I was younger, we were worried about “X-mas”. Now…“X-mas” is technically much ado about nothing. Its roots are pretty interesting: see, as it turns out, the “X” isn’t really an “X”. It’s actually a Greek “chi”…which was often used by ancient Christians as shorthand for “Christ”. (“Chi” is the Greek for

Putin Power
by Ronald A. Rowe December 7th, 2011 | General Politics, Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
From St. Petersburg, Russia to St. Petersburg, Florida – all corners have been heard from this week. The best of the best Winners and the worst of the worst Losers are presented for your consideration.
WINNERS:
Vladimir Putin –
Former Russian President turned Russian Prime Minister turned Russian Presidential Candidate Vladimir Putin is pretty much a shoe-in to become Russian President Vladimir Putin again. Although everyone knew it was going to happen, Putin was formally nominated as the United Russia party’s nominee for the presidency this week. Putin is more popular than ever now in Mother Russia. His “campaign” should be

Occupy Oakland Gets Raided
by Jason Lightner November 3rd, 2011 | General Politics, Independent Ideas
Here we go again...
As reported by The Guardian last week, a two-tour Iraq War veteran was shot in the face by police during the Occupy Oakland protests. The victim, Scott Olsen, 24, was listed in critical condition when he arrived at Highland Hospital. A few days later, it remains uncertain whether Olsen was the victim of a rubber bullet or a tear-gas canister. What is certain, however, is that police fired upon the crowd he was in at point-blank range. According to recent reports, he has lost the ability to talk due to brain damage caused by the impact.

The Abortion Issue
by Eric M. Blake October 31st, 2011 | Conservative Considerations, General Politics, Political Facts
Under the circumstances, the pro-life movement has been extremely forgiving. No spokesman for that cause—at least, no one with any credibility—ever advocates death penalties. Good thing, too: after all, as far as we’re concerned, those would-be mothers are tragically misguided and deceived. As such, we don’t demand that they be “punished”, like criminals. And yet…that’s now being held up as an example of how hypocritical we “religious-nut-job-marionettes” allegedly are? Amazing….
Okay. Fortunately, there are no GOP debates this week—freeing me to discuss this issue. Let’s look at this in a reasoned, rational manner…and address four common arguments of those who

Williams & Wall Street
by Ronald A. Rowe October 12th, 2011 | General Politics, Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
Are you ready for some… Hitler analogies? Apparently, America is not. Check out how that faux pas earned a spot on our Loser list, plus a whole bunch more in this week’s edition of Winners and Losers:
Winners:
Occupy Wall Street –
Somehow a dozen goofy college kids hanging out in a park near Wall Street has developed into a well-financed Left-wing answer to the Tea Party. You might think that Occupy Wall Street’s attempt to overtake the Brooklyn Bridge was a failure, but it was not. There’s nothing a radical Leftist enjoys more than suffering
