Editorial: A Path of Darkness

Approved Content

Vladimir Lenin, the Russian revolutionary who was inspired by The Communist Manifesto, (written by Karl Marx the father of Marxism) sought these things in his April Theses of 1917; the “Abolition of the police, the army and the bureaucracy.”  Lenin was referring to ideas about bringing his Russian minority group, the Bolsheviks, into power.  Lenin’s words inspired the Bolsheviks to act which led to a violent overthrow of the Russian government just a few months later.  Once Lenin and the… Read moreEditorial: A Path of Darkness

Our March Towards Orwell’s 1984

Approved Content

I recently read a speech given by Larry Arnn, President, of Hillsdale College, delivered at a Hillsdale College reception in Rogers, Arkansas, on November 17, 2020. The speech was titled ORWELL’S 1984 AND TODAY.  In this speech Professor Arnn used the novel 1984 by George Orwell as an analogy to describe America’s march towards totalitarianism. The professor begins his speech explaining that the word “totalitarian” did not exist before the 20th century. “The older word for the worst possible form… Read moreOur March Towards Orwell’s 1984

Why is Everything Liberal?

Approved Content

In a democracy, every vote is supposed to be equal. If about half the country supports one side and half the country supports another, you may expect major institutions to either be equally divided, or to try to stay politically neutral. This is not what we find. If it takes a position on the hot button social issues around which our politics revolve, almost every major institution in America that is not explicitly conservative leans left. In a country where… Read moreWhy is Everything Liberal?

A Common Sense take on Responsibility in Education

Approved Content

The issue of education quality cannot be blamed on schools. In fact, it cannot even be blamed on school funding. There are schools in 3rd world countries that have almost no public funding and the students perform better than they do here. The difference is discipline. In other countries children who back talk the teacher are punished at school then punished again upon arrival at home. After that the children dare not mouth off again. In the U.S. if a… Read moreA Common Sense take on Responsibility in Education

Editorial: The Current Political Climate both in Arizona and Nationally!

Approved Content

Arizona Politicians regardless of party affiliation must understand that a large part of our state’s population is conservative and does not agree with many of the policies coming from an increasingly radical agenda on the left. Fiscal responsibility on the part of politicians is a huge concern to most Americans and pandering to the extreme left will not be appreciated by constituents when the next election comes around.   The modern conservative movement’s intention should be to ensure that the public… Read moreEditorial: The Current Political Climate both in Arizona and Nationally!

Words are Important

Approved Content

“From an activist’s perspective, the concept of “systemic racism” has the unduplicable virtue of being vague. It is a blanket indictment of various indistinct establishments, thus failing to pique the ire of and produce a self-defense from the specifically accused. It is sufficiently indiscrete so that it doesn’t lend itself to any focused remedy—something that a more precise indictment of a specific institution’s culture of racial discrimination wouldn’t be able to evade. Thus, the phrase’s broadness and ambiguity render it… Read moreWords are Important

A New Hope

I am not holding my breath for either of these two to become Obi Wan but it is nice to see Kelly and Sinema showing some common sense. From Fox News: “Arizona’s Democratic Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly are both backing the governor’s decision to deploy the National Guard to the southern border in response to the surge in migrants that has overwhelmed authorities. “I welcome the Governor’s action to provide logistical support to Arizona communities, and look forward to hearing more details about how… Read moreA New Hope

What Happened to Context?

I have a good friend that is a quail hunting guide here in Southern Arizona during the winters, Dave happens to be a Canadian. He says “eh” a lot and apologizes all the time. Good guy. Former Paratrooper in the Canadian army and a veteran of the war in Afghanistan. Over beers I could bust his chops all night and he would give it back tenfold. But on Facebook…. Dave posted a beautiful picture of the San Rafael Valley on… Read moreWhat Happened to Context?
