It is here. The end of another year. As 2006 comes to a close, we can look back and reflect on the nightmare it has been or we can look ahead to the awakening we can only hope 2007 will bring. I must admit that I have no great parting words of wisdom for the […]

For the last few years, we’ve all heard the clammoring from those who have endeavored to create a national crisis in their faux War on Christmas.

(From a recent post at Bring It On! Special thanks to Tom Baker for posting this there.) A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum […]

Last night, on the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, President Bush addressed the nation with a speech that can only be described as an attempt to ‘catapult the propaganda’ yet one more time. Speaking from the Oval Office, Bush again used the events of September 11, 2001 to further politicize America’s security and […]

Imagine you’re enjoying a nice evening at home after a long day at work when the unthinkable happens…you start feeling a pain in your chest that quickly spreads into your arms. You become lightheaded, nauseous, and pale. You feel as if your heart is racing a hundred miles an hour. You are having a heart […]
