Charlton Heston, RIP

Charlton Heston, RIP

Charlton Heston, famed actor, constitutional rights advocate, and patriot, died Saturday night at the age of 84. Heston was the quintessential iconic male… using his rugged face and deep voice to play all manner of heroes and leaders – Marc Antony, John the Baptist, Moses, Ben-Hur to name a few. Of course, Heston was better [...]

FITNA Video Shows Islamic Appeasement Means NO MORE FREE SPEECH

FITNA Video Shows Islamic Appeasement Means NO MORE FREE SPEECH

As an American I love Europe. I love Europe because they’re on point. They’re on the cutting edge of “Oh crap, our land is filled with Muslim extremists!” They’re a sadistic social experiment that gives us in the States an idea of what will happen to us if when we let it. So the Dutch [...]

Veteran’s Day 2007

Veteran’s Day 2007

I can remember living briefly in Orlando, Florida, and watching a non-amusing TV news piece done inside of a shopping mall on the Monday observance of Veteran’s Day. The news crew had found random school kids wandering the mall on their day off and asked them WHY they had the day off from school. Only [...]

Washington, DC

Washington, DC

I went to Washington, DC recently for a friend’s wedding (sort of – it turns out they actually got married two days prior… which we found out when we got there… so we arrived in time for the post-wedding barbecue… but it seriously was great). Anyways, there was much to observe and ruminate on in [...]

Independence Day

Independence Day

Today is Independence Day in the United States. Although the exact date is a bit arbitrary, back in 1776 the early American colonies voted to be free from Great Britain. Eventually the fourth of July became a national holiday marked by vivacious celebrations including fireworks, flags and fanfare. People invite over friends and fire up [...]

An All-American Friday Night

An All-American Friday Night

Last night I had a true, All-American Friday night. Some have no idea what that means (and probably never will)… and others will roll their eyes because they just don’t understand (and probably never will). You don’t have to be American to have an All-American Friday, as it is part of a transcendent and spiritual [...]

Remember Why You’re Free

Remember Why You’re Free

Today is Memorial Day in the US. A day when we remember those who have given their lives in service this great nation. This day is not “just another day”. Many will tritely dismiss this as an unnecessary formality. Many will claim that they can “honor the fallen” any day they wish and choosing a [...]

Never Forget

Never Forget

Five years. Doesn’t seem like it, though. September 11, 2001. I’m not blogging about this because it’s the trendy thing for online political mavens to do… I’m paying honors to the heroes – to the fallen and to the survivors. I’m paying respects to the known heroes and to the unsung heroes. To the widows [...]

The folks at Boca Java Gourmet Coffee & Tea have put together Blogger’s Fuel.com devoted to their blogging [...]
