July 16, 2010 - "Fascist America" By Joseph Parish. A glance at our daily newspapers will quickly reveal a lot of comparisons between Hitler’s form of government and President Obama’s prevailing style.

United States v. Arizona — How 'Bout United States v. Rhode Island?

July 14, 2010 - "United States v. Arizona — How 'Bout United States v. Rhode Island?" by Andy McCarthy. Well whaddya know? It turns out that Rhode Island has long been carrying out the procedures at issue in the Arizona immigration statute: As a matter of routine, RI state police check immigration status at traffic stops whenever there is reasonable suspicion to do so, and they report all illegals to the feds for deportation. Besides the usual profiling blather, critics have trotted out the now familiar saw that such procedures hamstring police because they make immigrants afraid to cooperate. But it turns out that it’s the Rhode Island police who insist on enforcing the law. Click here

Is America Repeating History

July 11, 2010 - "Is America Repeating History" By Joseph Parish. Being a great fan of the study of history I often compare various events from the history books to current situations as they are happening in real time.

Despotism or Democracy?

July 11, 2010 - "Despotism or Democracy? " Here's a question for you - Despotism or Democracy? Which society do you live in? The film was originally created by Encyclopedia Britannica shortly after World War II around 1945. It has been edited from the original and the total length trimmed down to make it more enjoyable, and of course, more ironic - given the current world situation, with some oppressive regimes all over the place - and the potential for concern regarding the Patriot Act in the USA and the actions of our current president. As such - while the original content is quite dated - the metrics used to measure the freedom in a society, remain very valid. Check it out - I think you'll enjoy it. Click here

Are the TSA Blocking your Website

July 8, 2010 - "Are the TSA Blocking your Website?" By Joseph Parish. Do you post negative remarks about President Obama on your website?

It all started when a news reporter covering the World Cup games had nothing better to do then to undertake connecting the loses experienced by several teams to the appearance of a name rock star who was attending as a fan. I would hope the reporters agent would make an apology for the wasted time and space that the correspondent has done for his readers.

June 27, 2010 - "Can Disaster of Haitian Proportions Cripple America" By Joseph Parish. Now that a few months have passed since the disaster in Haiti, one has to wonder if we as American’s have learned anything as a result.

Often during those sessions the subject of bug out bags would come up however, it is doubtful if any additional preparations have since been made. Click here
