There comes a point in time when one really has to question our constitutional right of free speech for everybody in this country.

On November 26 of last year, we posted two articles here entitled: ‘Election Results and Analysis’ and ‘The People have spoken’. Based on the closeness of the various races in the House as well as the Senate, we concluded that the results reflected a shift among moderate voters, the consistent 15 percent of the American […]

It is very interesting watching members of the Democratic Party in American on television. There are twists and turns on a daily basis that make it very hard to understand their positions.

Remember Inspector Jacques Clouseau? He was the bungling French police detective played by Peter Sellers in the ‘Pink Panther’ movies whose approach to solving crimes was very unorthodox to say the least. Well, there is a sequel that played out during the past few years and ended recently right here in America that matches the […]
