    3 years and 3 weeks to go.

    There is some uncertainty as to whether Hillary Clinton could even manage to secure the nomination of her party. An obscure, untested, relative newcomer defeated her last time out. Hillary comes with a lot of baggage. A lot. Then, there is the age factor. Hillary would be nearly 70...

    3 years and 3 weeks to go.

    In 3 years and 3 weeks from now, Barack Hussein Obama will leave the presidency. Can we please elect someone competent and honest next time around? Wouldn't it be refreshing to have a commander-in-chief whose devotion to country and patriotism is above reproach? Perhaps, someone steeped...

    Watch that freedom of speech

    An overwhelming segment of the current US military personnel would identify themselves as being of the Christian tradition. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have as much to do with Islam as Christianity. These two civilizations will continue to clash over and over. Call it irreconcilable...

    Phil Robertson - Duck Dynasty

    The self-serving statement put out by A&E reads like hogwash. At least Cracker Barrel straight up admitted their error in judgment after pulling some Duck Dynasty merchandise from store shelves. The Robertsons would be better served to leave A&E as soon as their contractual obligations...

    Understanding war.

    The United States mainland isn't going to be occupied by a foreign military presence in our lifetime. With thousands of nuclear warheads at our disposal, we can intimidate or repel any conventional military land or sea assault. It perturbs some on the Left, but the United States cannot be...

    Understanding war.

    War is a means to an end. The great Prussian military general Carl von Clausewitz defined war as "the use of force to compel an enemy to do our will." Violence is a characteristic of war. In total war, unlike many recent conflicts, the survival of a nation's independence and sovereignty is at...

    Phil Robertson - Duck Dynasty

    No comparison made. Simply responding to Cheri's request to identify a bonafide traitor. Real treason is rare. Spouting unpopular political opinions is annoying but perfectly legal.

    Phil Robertson - Duck Dynasty

    Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were considered traitors to the United States for providing atomic weaponry secrets to the Soviet Union. They were subsequently indicted, tried in court, convicted and executed. More recently, Adam Gadahn, was indicted for treason against the United States for...

    Phil Robertson - Duck Dynasty

    Natalie Maines' comments made abroad were considered treasonous in the US court of public opinion. Not treason de jure, but treason de facto. The majority of her previous fan base were smart enough to realize her words sowed dissension at home during a time of war. War at its root is about...

    Phil Robertson - Duck Dynasty

    Entrepreneurship as practiced by Phil Robertson should be celebrated. He did build his own companies, slowly over decades and without government assistance insofar as I can ascertain. Phil's rags-to-riches success would have made Horatio Alger cheer. In a similar vein, we lost a local...

    Phil Robertson - Duck Dynasty

    Some executive at Cracker Barrel might be singing the blues today. Didn't Cracker Barrel execs understand who the bulk of their customers are? Many loyal Duck Dynasty fans go directly from church to Cracker Barrel on Sundays. CB cannot afford another PR blunder on cultural issues anytime soon.

    Phil Robertson - Duck Dynasty

    Phil Robertson was relating what he saw with his own eyes as a youngster in the South. This is his anecdotal account, coming from the eyes of a destitute kid who was so poor he had probably never travelled very widely until he became a football sensation. Phil states in the GQ interview...

    Phil Robertson - Duck Dynasty

    I understood Phil Robertson's GQ interview comments to be that he personally never saw a black person be mistreated. I suppose since the fake outrage by GLAAD isn't working, detractors will now throw down the race card. Strange bedfellows doubling down for the cause.

    Phil Robertson - Duck Dynasty

    Cracker Barrel is becoming a real profile in courage(not) by deciding to pull some Duck Dynasty merchandise from display or marking down prices on DD merchandise for quick sale. Splitting the baby in half leaves no one satisfied. My wife and I will reevaluate our patronage at Cracker Barrel.
