Old Time Radio
Posted Saturday, February 4, at 2:00 PM

February 14th approaches. It is a special day for me. Yes indeed, February 14th is Jack Benny's birthday. If memory serves me right, Jack will be 39. Jack has been 39 since 1933, when he actually turned 39. And it is not just Jack Benny that I fondly celebrate on February 14th, but the golden age of radio as well...

Are You Ready For Some Taxes?!!
Posted Tuesday, January 17, at 8:31 PM

With all of the talk about taxes, maybe a quick review into the outright greed that is our bloated run-away bureaucratic dictatorship. This is but a partial list, as there are so many taxes it is hard to list them all. 1. Accounts Receivable Tax 2. Accounting and Tax Preparation (cost taxpayers $300B year)...

No Need To Fear the Future
Posted Monday, January 16, at 6:41 PM

I know we are in the midst of unusual times to say the least. If you want to engage in successful planning for the future, you must first deal with reality. You must not operate in the world of pretend or make-believe. Rightly or wrongly, the economic and political conditions are what they are, and they do not change over-night. ...

Christmas Hope
Posted Sunday, December 25, at 10:57 PM

My mom loved Christmas. Our Christmas tree usually went up the day after Thanksgiving. We'd watch football games and decorate the tree, it was a wonderful time as a kid. I can remember Mom always talked about Hope at Christmas time. Christ's birth was true hope for men and women dealing with this thing called life...

Wild and Wacky Game Day: Patriots vs Broncos
Posted Sunday, December 18, at 5:24 AM

I was listening to ESPN radio just a few hours ago, and was not surprised to hear the two ESPN sports "analysts" give their wish list for the upcoming Broncos-Patriots game. They were predicting (sounded more like prayer to me) that Bill Belichick and Tom Brady would "punish" the Broncos...

Turn Right When You Reach Mars
Posted Thursday, December 15, at 2:28 PM

When I was a teenager, I remember going to see the movie: 2001 A Space Odyssey on the huge screen at the Arvada Plaza theatre in metro Denver. At that time, America was very close to fulfilling the dream of landing on the Moon. Back in 1968 when this movie came out, I totally bought into the idea that by 2001, we would have a base on the Moon. ...

Dealing With BDS (Battered Democrat Syndrome)
Posted Tuesday, December 13, at 6:30 AM

I listened to President Obama last week in Kansas as he took to the political pulpit to preach the gospel of Socialism. This sermon I have heard before, from guys like Daniel Ortega, Hugo Chavez, and Fidel Castro. What really struck me was the manufactured crowd. They were all cheering for the President to lock them away in an economic prison...

Drinking the Orange Kool Aid
Posted Sunday, December 4, at 4:34 PM

What can I say? It is an exciting time to be a Denver Bronco fan. This Christmas you may have a unique opportunity to buy that perfect gift for your Liberal friend or relative, IF your Liberal pal is also a Broncos fan. Oh man, the Tim Tebow doll is the ideal gift for the Liberal Broncomanic...

Hearts and Flowers
Posted Sunday, November 27, at 12:48 AM

Many voters realize that any of the current candidates running for this nation's highest office would make a better President than Barack Obama. Truly, it would be hard for any human being to do a worse job than Obama. But simply being "better" than Obama can not be the measuring stick when choosing a nominee. We must be honest with ourselves, and confront the Liberal Democrats and the mess they have created in almost every area...

The Real Valley Forge
Posted Monday, November 14, at 2:58 PM

I heard that some of the children of Liberalism in the Occupy crowd were calling their protests a "Valley Forge moment". Further evidence of the real fruits of our public education system. I would love to dive into a rant here, instead, I will use the words of Henry Armitt Brown, in his oratory regarding Valley Forge, delivered June 19th 1878...

Birds Of a Slacker Feather
Posted Wednesday, November 2, at 3:32 PM

It is interesting to see the folks who have voiced support for the Occupy Wall Street Slacker vermin, infesting many of our nations' cities. Zombie at PJ media online has a splendid article on the various radical leftists, Communists, Fascists, Socialists, and other unionists and assorted crazies backing these astro-turfed protests...

Judge Rightly is Not Some Guys Name
Posted Thursday, October 20, at 8:07 PM

I am about to make folks mad again. I know I will because I'm going to talk about the poor. I've had normally mild mannered types unwind when I talk about the poor. The poor are a touchy subject aren't they? And yet, I am trying to be more "Sennnnsaative". I want to try and understand Liberals, and the way they think, so I can help them recover...

The Slacker Rebellion
Posted Monday, October 17, at 8:54 PM

This is not the first time that I have written that the election of Barack Obama, was in fact a rebellion of slackers. This was evident by the number of folks, brainwashed by years of liberal malarkey in the schools, who seriously believed that they would not have to pay their mortgage, or worry about their bills, once Obama stole from the rich and gave it to them...

The Good Side
Posted Tuesday, October 11, at 8:56 PM

As a professional truck driver, (gear jammer, trucker, etc.) I have a terrific opportunity to meet fantastic people around the country. In the blue collar world in which I travel and work, the folks are real, and basic, and funny, and amazing. Harvey for example works 12 hour graveyard shifts at a sugar factory. ...

Okay! Let's Have a Little Talk
Posted Thursday, October 6, at 7:39 PM

Many Conservatives, like me, tried to warn folks that voting for someone simply because they were a certain color, was dangerous. Conservatives told you the truth from the start, that Obama was a radical leftist. We were met with charges of racism...

This first story is wonderful. A high school girl hits her first and only home run, only to get injured at first base and unable to get around the bases.

Who Needs a Crystal Ball?
Posted Friday, September 23, at 1:58 AM

It is not hard to predict what leftists, Marxists and Communists will do. They use the same old commie playbook that has been around for years. All it takes is the courage to admit the truth, and see what is clearly in front of you. Jesus often said to those He was speaking to, "those who have ears to hear, let them hear..."...
