One View of TEOTWAWKI
Sunday, February 7, 2010 at 12:35PM One View of TEOTWAWKI
The History Channel recently aired After Armageddon, a chilling dramatization of what could happen during a flu pandemic. The program focuses on a single fictional family living in Los Angles at the outbreak of the illness. Sprinkled into the drama are comments from experts. As the family makes decisions, some right and others very wrong, these authorities provide context and background. Read More >>
Wasting Time and Possibly Lives
Instead of solving real problems, our elected officials in Olympia are going to great lengths to craft legislation for segments of their core constituencies. There purpose is to pacify their base and ensure reelection. Now that our lawmakers would do that probably doesn’t surprise anyone reading this blog. If fact, if it were just run-of-the-mill political pandering I probably wouldn’t mention it, but two recently introduced bills, House Bill 2837 and Senate Bill 6452 would, if passed, cause the death of innocents.

Reflections on the Brown Revolution
Yes, the voters rejected the GOP in 2006 and 2008. Sure, they wanted change when they elected Obama and gave him a Congress strongly under Democrat control. But, that didn’t mean that America wanted bigger government, higher taxes, nationalized healthcare and multi-billion dollar bailouts for everyone from auto companies to banks, insurance firms and finance companies.

Global Warming Alarmism January 11, 2010
“There has been an unrelenting quarter century of one-sided indoctrination of the western world by the media and by various scientists and governments concerning a coming carbon dioxide (CO2) induced global warming disaster.”

Heroin for Dummies January 9, 2010
Some days liberals make my job so easy and this is one of them. The liberals working for the New York City health department thought it would be a good idea to take money from hard working citizens and use it print 70,000 booklets detailing how heroin users can be safer addicts.

Taxes to Fund Silliness January 7, 2010
Just yesterday, under the title A Legislative Waste of Time, I blogged that Washington State senators Rosa Franklin and Joe McDermott, among others, introduced Senate Bill 6249 a law that, if passed, would require state schools to refer to students at-risk as students “at-hope.” Immediately after filing that silly bill, they filed SJR 8219, an proposed amendment to the state constitution that would allow an income tax and Senate Bill 6250 that would institute the tax.

A Legislative Waste of Time January 6, 2010
The Washington State legislature is only part time. Every year our elected representatives tell voters how heavy the workload is and how they need more time to solve the complex problems of the state. Of course, if we had a fulltime legislature it would necessitate increasing their salaries. What might our elected representatives do if they were passing laws all year long?

Global Cooling? January 5, 2010
Updated January 7, 2010 Last year at this time, I was digging out from one of the whitest winters I’ve seen in western Washington State. That winter was the only time I have ever come close to exhausting my yearly supply of firewood. This year, thanks to a mild winter, the woodshed remains well stocked, but the majority of the country and much of the northern hemisphere has experienced a bitter cold winter.
What can we learn from all this cold weather? Is the world really getting warmer, as Al Gore continues to tell us, or is it headed into another mini-ice age?

Simplistic Liberal Views January 2, 2010
An outspoken liberal in my local community, Chuck Haunreiter, accuses his neighbors of being blindly led by, among others, a local conservative radio host, John Panesko, and the local newspaper. It occurred to me that liberals often dismiss conservative ideas with the claim, “Oh, you’re just repeating what Rush Limbaugh said,” or in this case, John Panesko. To believe that the political right is a mindless mob led by a single entity is simplistic. This rather ad hominem retort allows the liberal to validate their feelings about an issue without dealing with the underlying ideas presented by the conservative.

New Year Wishes December 31, 2009
Liberals often accuse those on the right of only thinking of themselves. They insist that we are heartless and unfeeling. As I have said before, and will certainly say in the future, part of the reason I am conservative is because I have something to conserve. I want law, order and good government for America because not only do I live here, but also my wife and children. This land is my home. If this country collapses in debt, moral decay or racial strife, everything I love will sink in the morass.
So, if you are liberal look over the list of my wishes for the coming year. Are they all that different from what you would wish for?

Never One of Us November 8, 2009
I have been in combat and, on one particular night, known that moment when my life might have been snatched away in an instant. When all you want to think about are those you love and may never see again, but you must push them from your mind and do your duty even if it is the last thing you do. I tell you this not to boast, because my time in combat was short and, for such duty, relatively easy. I tell you this so that you know that I have been there, both in the military and at the point of the spear. So that when I say what I must, you know that it comes from the heart of a man who has worn the uniform with pride and done his duty for his country.

Ayn Rand in the News November 2, 2009
Updated November 7, 2009 In an April blogpost titled, Atlas of the Silver Screen, I reported on the continued popularity of both the philosophy and novels of Ayn Rand and today Reason.tv, the video branch of Reason magazine, did a story extolling the continued popularity of her ideas and writings. In that video, which you can view below, they made particular reference to the novel Atlas Shrugged.

One Illegal Vote is One Too Many November 1, 2009
When Washington State insists upon violating its own laws you have to wonder about the integrity of elected officials and the judges who aid and abet them. In this video, Glenn Beck discusses just that with Michael Reitz of the Evergreen Freedom Foundation.

As Serious As... October 31, 2009
On Sunday October 11th at around 4:00pm I felt pain on the right side of my chest that began to radiate down my right arm. For most people this happens on the left, but I’m a conservative so, I guess, even chest pains lean to the right.

Unsafe Schools October 7, 2009
Kevin Jennings is President Obama’s choice to head the Department of Education Office of Safe Schools. He is also the founder of GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network) an organization that establishes clubs in schools across the country for the purpose of promoting the homosexual agenda. His vision of what a safe school should be is probably not what you would envision. You probably imagine a place where your children feel safe to learn and ask questions, where they will not be bullied or abused. But Jennings is quoted in Human Events as stating that for him the goal of safe schools is closely tied to the GLSEN goal of including “a diversity policy that mandates LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] themes in the curriculum.”

Liberal Hypocrites October 4, 2009
In 1977 using the guise of a modeling shoot, Roman Polanski gave a 13-year-old girl a combination of champagne and Quaaludes. He then told her to lie on a bed, strip and despite her repeated protests and resistance; performed oral sex, intercourse and sodomy on her.

Who’s Running the Asylum? September 21, 2009
Updated January 26, 2010 At Eastern State Hospital in Washington State, the government healthcare professionals have recently struggled with the tough question of how they can make the paranoid schizophrenic killers in their hospital feel better. What did these highly trained government doctors decide? Take the criminally insane to the fair where there are hundreds of small children and then don’t keep a close eye on the patients....
