» Jesse Jackson Has No Clothes
By Doug Patton | Published 07/15/2008 | From Our Writers | Rating:
        As the out-of-touch members of the mainstream media fall all over themselves making excuses for the latest boorish behavior of Jesse Jackson, their favorite race pimp, most Americans are not surprised by it.

» Helms Helped to Give Us Reagan
By Doug Patton | Published 07/9/2008 | From Our Writers | Rating:
      For thirty years, through turbulent times, Jesse Helms was a conservative bulwark against the political, cultural, and ideological degradation of late 20th Century American society.  He loved liberty and did not suffer fools.  In a time of trendy change, there were three giant conservatives: Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, and Jesse Helms.

» New Oversight of the Supreme Court Is Needed
By Doug Patton | Published 07/1/2008 | From Our Writers | Rating:

         Why should international law have any bearing on decisions supposedly based on the U.S. Constitution?  Perhaps this type of activity should be curtailed or banned by Congress.  Perhaps the size of the court should be reduced.

» Too Many Lawyers, Too Little Wisdom
By Doug Patton | Published 06/25/2008 | From Our Writers | Rating:
        Ethical lawyers and wise judges are rare today, and they are not rewarded for their common sense.  A judge who wants to see his career flourish will not rule in a manner that will invite scrutiny by a higher court.  To have a decision overturned is not in the best interests of a jurist’s long term career goals.

» Californians, Take a Lesson From Nebraska
By Doug Patton | Published 05/21/2008 | From Our Writers | Rating:
       Watching another hijacking of the people’s will, this time by four arrogant judges on the California State Supreme Court, one cannot help but contemplate the future of the institution of marriage in America. In case you missed it, that august body has invented a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, thereby reversing a ballot initiative approved by 61 percent of the voters.

» Is Obama Smarter Than a 5th Grade Jaywalker?
By Doug Patton | Published 05/14/2008 | From Our Writers | Rating:

       Perhaps Obama should be a contestant on Fox’s “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?”  Or maybe Jay Leno could interview him out on Hollywood Boulevard as part of his Tonight Show “Jay Walking” segment.

» Dem Primaries a Microcosm of Socialist Thinking
By Doug Patton | Published 05/7/2008 | From Our Writers | Unrated
       The next time you hear Clinton or Obama or any other Democrat talk about making the rich “pay their fair share,” ask yourself how it benefits you to have the job creators of our society punished for their prosperity.

» Government-Approved Religions and Cults
By Doug Patton | Published 04/29/2008 | From Our Writers | Rating:
       When government decides that hundreds of children should be taken from their mothers because the group to which those mothers belong is not on the sanctioned list of politically correct beliefs, America has crossed over into a dangerous area of government-approved religions and cults.

» When Political Correctness Becomes Conventional Wisdom
By Doug Patton | Published 04/23/2008 | From Our Writers | Rating:
       Until last week, I still had hope.  I still believed, perhaps naively, that the majority of Americans were wise enough to see the truth.  Perhaps they are, but given the onslaught of political correctness now surrounding the topic, I seriously doubt it.
