Separating Oil and Water
Wednesday, June 16th, 2010Author Linda Brady Traynham
Anger is not a problem-solving tool. Anger will not choose a profitable stock, nor will it lead to peace in the Middle East. Anger cannot reveal the identity of the “unknown” solution in your beaker in a chemistry lab, it cannot produce harmony in your marriage, and it has yet [...]
Memorial Day
Monday, May 31st, 2010Author Linda Brady Traynham
Gee, I’m glad we had Memorial Day, although the media never mentioned it, and my frivolous thought is that you can now wear white shoes until Labor Day, although bone is always a more chic choice.
We have our own version of Memorial Day most days here at the ranch, and I [...]
Cinco de Maelstrom
Monday, May 24th, 2010Author Mike Rough
If you follow current events as they unfold like me you are probably aware of the coverage regarding the Cinco de Mayo U.S. Flag incident at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hills California. While I tend to view content coming from mainstream media with several buckets of salt this incident has been [...]
FREE SPEECH, HATE SPEECH, & LYING
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010Author Tony DeMaio
I have been listening to Air America recently. I find the station to be most interesting and amusing, perhaps fascinating. On the national level, I find it to be the poster child of “hate radio”—perhaps the epitome of it. I also find it to be vulgar and crass. Phrases such as, “All Republicans [...]
An Open Letter
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010Author David Franklin
TO ALL FAITHFUL TEXAS RING READERSHIP:
May I kindly suggest the following: STOP! believing ANY THING, and prove to yourself the reality of all Things. Otherwise, the True reality that there IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL government will only bring you the heartsick pain of delusion.
In 1913, your now UN-CONSTITUTIONAL Federal Congress delegated [...]
Racial Profiling
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010Author Linda Brady Traynham
It’s one of my Dagny Taggart days: “Gentlemen, there is not a single mind left in the Obama crowd.” To get even more Randian we have the situation in Arizona, where their legislators, despite large Hispanic influence, attempted to make their state a safer place to live by passing an [...]
The Calderon Calling Arizona Black
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010Author Mike Rough
Hypocrisy does not discriminate when it comes to heads of state. The ever pervasive better than thou attitude comes in all sizes, shapes, and colors as witnessed this week in the form of Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s bombastic commentary on Arizona’s immigration enforcement law.
At issue is Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s accusations that [...]
I WANT PEACE AND FREEDOM (I do!! I really, really do.)
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010Author Tony Demaio
I don’t think so. You may fool yourself, but you don’t fool me. You want peace and freedom like you want a new BMW or you want to be rich, or you want to be healthy.
You say you DO want a new BMW? I don’t think so. You may fool yourself, but you [...]
L.A. S.F. and Oakland Do Arizona a Favor
Friday, May 14th, 2010Author Mike Rough
According to news reports the city council of Los Angeles overwhelmingly approved a boycott of Arizona-based businesses and governments Wednesday unless the state repeals a new law giving police the power to question a detainee’s immigration status.
I find this move by a extremely amusing from many angles that are obviously lost on [...]
Charitable Giving–For the Poor
Thursday, May 13th, 2010Author Tony DeMaio
Ever wonder why the charities and churches are against the “flat tax” or “fair tax”? Ever wonder why the “rich folk” establish “charitable foundations“? Ever wonder why the “rich folk” have huge charitable contributions? After all, they didn’t get rich by giving money away.
I alluded to the answers in another paper; I’ll try [...]
