There is No Constitutional Right to Military Service

“Our past experience as military leaders leads us to be greatly concerned about the impact of repeal [of the law] on morale, discipline, unit cohesion, and overall military readiness. We believe that imposing this burden on our men and women in uniform would undermine recruiting and retention, impact leadership at all levels, have adverse effects on the willingness of parents who lend their sons and daughters to military service, and eventually break the All-Volunteer Force.” - Statement in support of retaining the current law signed by over 1,000 retired flag and general officers.

While the entire country remains distracted over the long-overdue finale to the ObamaCare debate, the Obama Administration and Progressive Democrats are already moving full-speed ahead with efforts to further transform the United States by doing everything in its power to hobble our defense capabilities by allowing openly-gay people to serve in the nation’s armed forces. Despite the hurt feelings and emotional arguments of those intent on socially-engineering alleged “equality” into the ranks, there are literally a thousand reasons I can think of why this is an extremely bad idea.

RINOs Try to Trample Tea Party

Crime and Punishment, Environment, Illegal Immigration, Political Correctness, Politics, Society/Culture, economy

The Tea Party Movement was born as a wholesale rejection of the tyrannical, reckless and un-Constitutional actions of an unresponsive government. It wasn’t just a reaction to progressive Democrats, but also wayward Republicans who forgot that we owe our allegiance to our Creator and our Constitution, not the US Senate and certainly not an unscrupulous, hypocritical Republican Party offering a gentler form of socialism-lite. Many of these so-called “conservatives” in the GOP are now positioning themselves for 2012. And, although the 2010 CPAC conference further energized an enthusiastic movement, what did it really tell us?

State of the Union: Penniless and Rudderless

 While some Americans may have found Barack Obama’s first State of the Union address to be moving, pragmatic and inspirational, I found it completely devoid of substance, belligerent in tone, full of straw men, half-truths or even outright lies and a solid indicator that the US is in for a rough ride, the only solace being that Mr. Obama’s ride will be even rougher. It is evident to me that he either didn’t get the message sent by the American people or he just isn’t interested in heeding it.

Massachusetts: From Blue State to Brown State

Environment, Politics, Society/Culture, economy

With the stunning victory of Scott Brown over Martha Coakley in the special election for Massachusetts Senator coming on the heels of stunning state upsets in Virginia and New Jersey, there can be no more denial. The people of Massachusetts have soundly rejected the arrogance of elitists who believe that the senate seat vacated by the departed Ted Kennedy somehow belonged to him, or that his widow is somehow entitled to hand-pick his successor. Emboldened and energized by victory in liberal Massachusetts, Americans are in full revolt against Obama and Democrats.

2009 ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

Environment, Politics, Society/Culture, economy

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
and all through the Rotunda
the DC establishment
plotted their plunder.
Nearly all were failed lawyers,
real bottom-feeders
lining up for some slop
slung by the Majority Leader, 
a master practitioner
of an illicit craft,
namely doling out favors;
institutionalized graft. Read More »
