All great change in America begins at the dinner table." ~ Ronald Reagan ~ What is more central to a civilization, a culture than the family unit? The strength and design of the family defines the culture, and, as such, its future. What is a Family? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a family is “a group of two or more people who reside together and who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption” (U.S. Census Bureau). Though this definition se … Read More

“All wealth is the product of labor.” ~ John Locke

Do the Progressives know about this guy???

“Locke’s arguments concerning liberty and the social contract later influenced the written works of Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and other Founding Fathers of the United States. In fact, one passage from the Second Treatise is reproduced verbatim in the Declaration of Independence, the reference to a “long train of abuses.” Such was Locke’s influence that Thomas Jefferson wrote: “Bacon, Locke and Newton … I consider them as the three greatest men that have ever lived, without any exception, and as having laid the foundation of those superstructures which have been raised in the Physical and Moral sciences”. Today, most contemporary libertarians claim Locke as an influence.” (from Wikipedia)

American politicians today seem to think themselves invincible sovereigns who can toy with the fates of three hundred million people and there is nothing the latter can do about it.  They blow the taxpayers' money with no regard for the country's future, endlessly meddle with the economy, and brazenly flaunt The Constitution that grants them any power to begin with.  The same hubris that causes politicians to ignore the laws of economics leads th … Read More

Quoting Steven Groves: The United States is a sovereign nation. Sovereignty is a simple idea: the United States is an independent nation, governed by the American people, that controls its own affairs. The American people adopted the Constitution and created the government. They elect their representatives and make their own laws. The Founding Fathers understood that if America does not have sovereignty, it does not have independence. If a foreig … Read More

These days, we hear that just about everything is bad for us except maybe broccoli, and I wonder about broccoli!

Water is an absolute necessity for the maintenance of life … all life.  Animals need water. Plants and trees need water. People need water. I’ve heard it said that our human bodies are made up of around 80% water!  80%!  That’s a lot of water!

I don’t know about you, but my body let’s me know when I am short on my water intake. My systems get sluggish, and sometimes my legs cramp. As soon as I start to replenish the water to my thirsty system, I can feel the changes.

Years ago, we had a summer in the Pittsburgh area that set drought records. The spring was relatively “normal,” but suddenly, 22 May was the end of the rain! For weeks, not a drop fell. Grass browned. Gardens suffered. Farmers prayed!  Finally, halfway through August late in the afternoon, rain … blessed, sweet, light rain began to fall. Kids and adults alike ran out and jumped, yelled, and danced with delight. The rain had come … finally!

Water has always been a powerful image based on its relationship to life. Nevertheless, as we are currently reminded, it is also a power to contend with when it rages. While insufficient water can suck life away, so too much water sufficates life.

As with life in general, balance is the goal. Consume enough water to maintain LIFE, and work to not permit water to smother LIFE!

“I am the living water. He who drinks of me shall never thirst again!”  ~ Jesus Christ

A Moral Case for Capitalism (via Rogue Operator)

There is a pervasive attitude in academia and in the culture at large that socialists are misunderstood intellectuals and capitalists are selfish, greedy pigs. What is absent in the cultural discussion is the moral case for capitalism: Foremost, that it is consistent with free will; and secondly, that it is a more ethical basis for an economy than socialism due to its just framing of labor and reward. Firstly, as the socialist Rudolf Hilferding o … Read More
