Hugo Chavez, Rouhani, Mahmoud Abbas, Mohammed Morsi, Manuel Zelaya of Honduras and now Raul Castro…the list goes on. You have to wonder about our president’s fetish for dictators, especially Marxist and Islamic ones. Perhaps it’s a case of sympatico and similar outlooks. After all, like does attract like. Welcome to the Watcher’s Council, a blogging […]

I am watching the ancient TV show (another Rankin and Bass special from the early 70s and it looks it, too! Especially the scene where Jessica sings her solo about 2/3 of the way through the show) Santa Claus is Coming to Town and it has to be written by a libertarian! I howled when […]

See for yourself: – BREAKING: Gov. McAuliffe Signs Historic Gun Ban into Law! – – New Democrat Governor Expands […]

This is extremely hard to take for TEA Party Conservatives that have worked so hard to elect Republicans to office. These TEA Party groups began by looking at the sorry state of the US Government and knowing deep down we had strayed from the path the founders set us on. But the Federal Government has […]

This article was submitted by Bruce D. Price a leading Virginia expert on Education. Oddly enough, public schools often use failed theories and methods.

I read this in the Virginia Free Citizen and I thought at first: This is too obvious to be true – the Free Citizen is the victim of an elaborate hoax. So I went to Senator Warner’s website and found the press release: Senator Warner Engages Virginia Students on Immigration Reform Releases lesson plan in […]

Several months ago I wrote a couple of blog posts on the little-known fact about abolitionist leader William Lloyd Garrison – he was jailed in Baltimore for criminal libel for calling out a slave trader. Garrison is my beau ideal as an agitator (The Liberator would surely have been a blog today. Sometimes I look […]
