“You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing is worth dying for, when did this begin…? …Should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ […]

“It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship.”
–Patrick Henry

Though it doesn’t happen often occassionally Justice is served.

My bud Jeff had been trying to find a new blog software package for awhile now. I’ve also been watching for something more dynamically generated and written in PHP. A few days ago I was visiting another blog and like the layout and speed. Turns out it was built on WordPress so I’ve been […]

A new survey has found that “young Americans” are largely ignorant of sexually transmitted diseases. It should really come as no surprise. In recent years it has become much more important to teach kids and teens the dangers of cigerettes (and Republicans) over abstinance and drug use. I’ve noticed that once the […]

Hell froze over.

I have read the magazine VARBusiness for over 5 years but they’re starting to get a bit big for their britches… below is in reply to their most recent transgression which was forwarded to their Editor.
The message:
While I enjoy your magazine the benefits of reading it are being overshadowed by the amount of time I […]

Seatbelts save lives and I do not dispute that. But the issue of legally requiring them be worn is isn’t about safety. Rather it is about control and probable cause.
When the State of Indiana first managed to pass the seatbelt requirements many concessions had to be made to get enough support. […]

Timothy Bookwalter for Putnam County Circuit Court Judge.

The State Department push for the Law Of the Sea Treaty marches on and Henry Lamb has more information on what he calls ‘Enterprise’ socialism.
The Liberty Committee’s list of L.O.S.T. materials.

I often look at the cramped disarray in my server room with dismay. Things are going to improve dramatically when the company I work for moves into the new building. But until then I can remind myself of Google’s early hardware days.

Computer to computer communications hasn’t always had the current Internet and been so instant. In my early computer days we used the Sneaker-Net (using our sneakers to walk floppies between machines) for such communications. But what about before sneakers?
A group intrepid Israeli’s has been making new what was old, finding new ways […]

Tommy Daschle beware, the Sioux are on the war path to elect a Republican.
“… it’s pure communism, and it’s an abject failure. Just like it was in the Soviet Union. It’s failure. You’ve created a dictatorship by the Bureau of Indian Affairs”
The fact that such a high percentage of American Indians vote Democrat has always […]

It seems that President Bush isn’t the only Bush who is insanely soft on illegal immigration. One would think a couple of Texans would have better horse sense dealing with illegals. But their familiarity with the Mexican people, especially Presidente Fox, influences them heavily.
Compasion is a worthy trait in a person, a President and […]

“Can it really be true, that the First Amendment can permit Nazis and Ku Klux Klansmen to march on public property, advocate the extermination of people of the Jewish faith and the subjugation of blacks, while the same amendment forbids our children from saying a prayer in school?”
–Ronald Reagan (1984)

“How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.”
–George Washington Carver

Events after the close of “major combat operations” in Iraq lead me to believe it is no wonder Saddam was such a brutal dictator. Was the Ba’ath party the Middle-Eastern logical response to the Shiite mullahs? It is obvious today that the Shiites desire is to step directly into the dictorial powers Saddam once […]

Until recent months I had not had to rebuild a corrupted MySQL datafile since 1999 when I ditched my last Red Hat 5.2 system.
In my early days my server was 1/2 way across the city so the manual rebuilds required with the ext2 filesystem when a server failed was problematic. There were few […]

And speaking of traitors, after letting it be known he’d like to the the Democratic VP for Kerry McCain is further showing he is not a Republican or Conservative.

The Liberals are whining about President Bush not doing enough to stop 9/11/2001. But what are the Liberals doing to prevent acts of terrorism from being committed against the American People? What ever they can to give the Terrorists the advantage.
If another plane goes into a building tomorrow it will still be President […]

Now that the Spanish have completely capitulated to Terror they’re finding out what it bought them.

Is it any wonder the Liberals supported McCain’s Campaign Reform when Hollywood is doing their bidding? We’ve seen this for years so it’s not new. But now that free speach has been trampled for 60 days before an election I wonder if the News and SitCom’s will have to cut it out, too? […]
