    The time you have in jelly beans.

    The meter is running. We are the only animal species conciously aware that our time on Earth is finite. Live, love and laugh while you can. Forgive quickly, be slow to anger. Anger is the real enemy of contentment.

    Hard to tell if it's sunshine or the glow of couches set on fire.

    What would war with Russia look like?

    Let's not allow skeptics to confuse the term "contemporary documents" with contemporaneous evidence. The Holocaust is perhaps the most well documented atrocity of the modern era. The historical record is buttressed by literally warehouses full of contemporaneous evidence meaning eyewitness...

    Kentucky

    There was a time when freshmen weren't even in the starting lineup. Upperclassmen still reign in the mid-majors and NCAA Division II teams. Graduation rates for highly ranked basketball and football programs are poor. Vanderbilt being an exception.

    Kentucky Wildcat basketball fans are just that- fanatical. I grew up in Eastern Kentucky listening to sportscaster Cawood Ledford call UK ballgames on AM radio. Cawood was a legendary fixture on the UK sports scene for nearly 40 years. Toward the end of the short video linked below, listen to...

    Russian Bear, he want to kick butt'm

    Political uprisings have a way of catching on in faraway plaves. Crimea seceded from Ukraine at the ballot box. Quebecers might feel encouraged as well as other regions in our hemisphere. Self-determination and autonomy have enduring appeal. There is no telling how many US states would...

    Rand Paul selling out social conservatives. No surprise.

    Traditional family values matter amongst conservatives. Taking a moderate stance is what northeastern GOP'ers favor, such as Chris Christie. Southern conservatives will not embrace nor endorse homosexual marriage. Allowances have to be made for regional differences. A northern conservative...

    Rand Paul selling out social conservatives. No surprise.

    I do believe Rand Paul would be a tremendously strong 3rd party candidate. I agree with much of his beliefs; however, when he starts suggesting conservatives need to soften their stance against homosexual marriage, he loses a lot of voters. Supporters of traditional marriage simply will not go...

    It's okay. Rand Paul needs to go 3rd party.

    Rand Paul selling out social conservatives. No surprise.

    Direct me to a libertarian government so we can study its performance. Even a bonafide libertarian government would have to ensure social order through imposition of law. To govern is to control, there is no way around this truth.

    Gay discrimination

    Our experiment with federalism is failing. Powers delegated to the states are no longer respected at the federal level. By ratifying the Constitution, the states created the federal government, not the other way around. The US federal government treats states with the same consideration a...

    We currently live in a society where left-wing judges overturn legislation which represented the will of the people.

    Rand Paul selling out social conservatives. No surprise.

    As I recall, when Rand was running for election to the Senate he left social conservatives with the impression he supported traditional marriage. I will have to research his exact remarks from those days. In the meantime, more recently Rand said the following about marriage...

    Rand Paul selling out social conservatives. No surprise.

    Fair question. The GOP Establishment is the real power to the throne. Social conservatives dominate in early primary states such as Iowa and South Carolina, then Big Money Pacs start to take over.

    Rand Paul selling out social conservatives. No surprise.

    It's good that Rand Paul is making his change of heart known now. Voters need not be deceived into voting for a weasel or a pig-in-the-poke. Social conservatives are the largest bloc participating in GOP primaries and, to some extent, control the GOP nominating process in early primary states...

    Rand Paul selling out social conservatives. No surprise.

    Social conservatives got Rand Paul elected to the US Senate. He must have some grand strategy to snag the GOP presidential nomination without social conservatives. Good luck on that one. Governor Rick Perry of Texas could be a strong contender if he chose to run.
