THE SANDWICH MAN

Last night, after a pathetic showing at the gym (oh, my fatness was just embarrassing!), my wife & I stopped by our local grocery store (Publix) to pick up subs for dinner. Apparently, it was a bad night for subs. For starters, the “toppings” had already been stored away (it was only 7:30pm, by the [...]

IS CAIN ABLE?

This post is going to be a short one, and it is going to ask a very simple question: IS CAIN ABLE? Is Herman Cain going to be able to win the Republican Nomination, and then defeat President Obama in 2012? The question is simple: the answer…not so much. It’s clear, though, that Herman Cain [...]

SELF EVIDENT

“What does it mean to be a Conservative?” In 2009, that simple question set in motion a project that consumed nearly a year & a half of researching, reading, writing and examining my own preconceived notions of what being a Conservative really means. By the time I finished my first draft of the FIRST CHAPTER, [...]

YOUTHFUL IDIOTS

Let me paint a picture for you. It was the early 1980’s, and I lived in a typical middle-class South Florida neighborhood in Ft. Lauderdale.

HERMAN CAIN – THE NEXT REAGAN?

The more I’ve been listening to the things that Herman Cain has been saying, the more that I like him. I still have my reservations, of course, but he generally seems to get it. Personal Responsibility, Small Government, Limited Taxes, Greater Liberties, Honest Beliefs: he’s got it all. As we get closer and closer to [...]

AN ASSUMPTION OF EVIL

Are you an “Evil” Person? Are you PERSONALLY willing to do anything and everything to get what you want? It’s a simple question, really, but I’ll make it more detailed for the point of argument. When you go to the grocery store, do you fill your pants with food and walk out without paying for [...]

PICKING YOUR CANDIDATES – PART 2

“Republicans have to nominate someone better than the person they want to defeat…If they get so adamant that they will only support a candidate that believes everything on their checklist, they will re-elect Obama.” Mike Huckabee was thus quoted in a recent New York Times article regarding the increasingly serious contest between Presidential Hopefuls for [...]

A CONSERVATIVE SHAKE-UP

Following the East Coast Earthquake on Tuesday, August 23, I posted a comment on Facebook: “Residents of Washington, DC – Don’t be Alarmed: That Shaking You Feel is the Entire Country Moving to the Right!” (For the record, I did not come up with this humorous statement: I “borrowed” it from someone else…laughing the entire [...]
