The recent desperate antics of the emerging Democrat Socialists reveal without question the dire situation of the Democrat Party. Without demeaning confrontations, vile and bombastic name calling, threatening accusations and attempted scare tactics, their agenda is practically a blank page. In fact, most of this is not well received by the public. It is without […]

Discouraging civic engagement in town affairs
Civic engagement must be based on the belief that one’s efforts are useful to the community at large and are not going to be summarily sabotaged by an authoritarian bureaucrat. When residents raise serious questions in a public hearing that the committee (or board) cannot, or will not, answer in a sensible manner then the […]

'Blue Wave' or barely a ripple?
Since the first of this year, Democrats have boldly spoken of their coming Blue Wave.

It's time to wake up
“You can’t wake a person who is pretending to be asleep,” says a Navajo proverb. After seeing the sad, offensive spectacle of Democrats playing Easter Island statues at the State of the Union address, even 75 percent of CBS viewers were finally awakened.

The season of giving is year-round
Monday is a special day for nearly all Americans. Seventy percent of Americans identify as Christians, but barely more than half of those attend church regularly. Even so, nearly all Americans celebrate Christmas by decorating their homes, shopping for and giving gifts, and gathering with family and friends. Christmas is a busy season for us […]
