Americans know how to pull together in a crisis way better than FEMA or any other government agency. While the towers burned and collapsed on 9/11, a half million people were evacuated from Lower Manhattan by a civilian flotilla of ferries, tug boats and other vessels—the largest boatlift in history. Watch this amazing video and be reminded of just how we Americans can work together. It’s too bad this nationalistic effect only occurs when we’re up against seemingly overwhelming events.

Has Dallas, Texas Got a Good Idea or What?
September 30th, 2011
Recently, the City of Dallas, Texas passed an ordinance stating that if a driver is pulled over by law enforcement and is not able to provide proof of insurance, the car is towed. To retrieve the car after being impounded, they must show proof of insurance to have the car released. This has made it easy for the City of Dallas to remove uninsured cars. Shortly after the “No Insurance” ordinance was passed, the Dallas impound lots began to fill up and were full after only nine days. 80+ % of the impounded cars were driven by illegals. Not only

September 25th, 2011
Obama really didn’t have a chance to be reelected … until the stupid party, excuse me, I meant the Republican party, trotted out their field of candidates. Now he does! Take Rick Perry, for example. He meets ALL of the Republican Party’s criteria. He has a nice smile, he has good hair, he rolls up his sleeves at the fairgrounds and he can make a good speech. He meets their entire criteria. Regarding a candidate’s stance on fiscal policy, defense matters, privacy, education, jobs, welfare and, most importantly, illegal immigration, the stupid Party has no litmus test. Their only concern

Bread & Circuses
July 4th, 2011
Bread and Circuses: This phrase originates in Rome around 100 AD when a Roman poet describes how the populace traded their birthright of political involvement for cheap food and entertainment. Bread and circuses was a plan devised by Roman politicians to buy the votes of the poor, seeing this as an effective way to rise to power. It’s Monday night and I’ve just watched the “bread and circuses” act of our federal government. The Fourth of July is when they get all patriotic; marching bands; all services in dress uniforms; Americana at its best. Don’t get me wrong. I believe

Happy 4th of July!
July 2nd, 2011
Aside from being a long weekend and an opportunity to have some hot dogs and beer in the back yard, the 4th of July celebrates America’s independence from an imperial government that was taxing us to death; was indifferent to our problems; and crushed ideas of liberty and freedom. If those words seem to describe what is beginning to happen again in America, then it is time for Americans to rise up again and declare our independence from a Congress that seems to have forgotten both the words and the meaning of our Declaration of Independence. Only this time, we
