Character is a key issue in selecting leaders of our republic, but politicians are loathe to frame the issue correctly. Meanwhile, Obama edits White House bios of other presidents to include himself, he proposes another "stimulus," a big oil find is neglected by the press and major facts are revealed in the Zimmerman/Martin case that just might be game changing. All that and more.

Obama's Gay Political Play

By Mark Alexander · Thursday, May 17, 2012

In advance of his annual proclamation of June as "National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month," or more accurately, "Gender Confusion Month, " Barack Hussein Obama ceremonially announced his support for so-called "gay marriage." I note "ceremonially" because while this purely political announcement had no effect on the legal status of homosexual relationships, it certainly moved the needle to the left in regard to the moral status of such "unions."

Investor's Business Daily looks at the half-trillion dollar tax hike scheduled for Jan. 1, 2013, while conservative pundits take on Obama's agenda, media bullying of Romney, and Ron Paul's exit from the presidential race. From the left, we have Obama forgetting about the economy so he can focus on same-sex marriage, as well as Bill Clinton's call to raise the aforementioned taxes. Jay Leno and others finish it off with a laugh.

"I think same-sex couples should be able to get married," Barack Obama told ABC News Wednesday. Media lemmings and Democrats -- but we repeat ourselves -- fawned over this "evolution" in Obama's thought on the subject, but it was hardly a "gutsy call." Meanwhile, the media are digging into Mitt Romney's high school antics while ignoring Obama's, Elizabeth Warren has some ancestry tied to the Cherokees but not in the way she hoped, the government steps up the pressure on healthy habits and another terrorist plot is foiled. This edition is jam-packed.

Instant Justice for Sociopaths -- Semper Justitia

By Mark Alexander · Thursday, May 10, 2012

In the early morning hours of Sunday, 15 April, two thugs burglarizing neighborhood cars decided to burglarize a house. Unknown to the perpetrators, the house is owned by a Marine from neighboring Camp Lejeune. Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid.

A French socialist won the presidency promising to stop "austerity," but Europe hasn't exactly been implementing austerity either. In America, Obama promises more of the same, though an MSNBC host thinks Romney is the European socialist. Global warming is still to blame for numerous ills, and we can laugh again at Obama's composite girlfriend.

The Obama campaign has created "The Life of Julia" to show how a woman can rely entirely on the government throughout her life. It's beyond creepy. Meanwhile, the French elect a socialist (at least they call them what they are there), we take another look at Chuck Colson, and Mark Alexander responds to some bad history -- all that and more.

The Obama campaign has announced its new slogan -- "Forward" -- and the history of the word lies in the socialist and communist movements. In other news, the employment picture is not moving "forward," Obama keeps spiking the bin Laden football, illegals are getting big tax refunds, Occupiers seek to do violence in Cleveland, and much, much more.

The Battle of Athens (Tennessee)

By Mark Alexander · Thursday, May 3, 2012

There was a group of Tennessee Patriots whose efforts to defend Liberty at home in 1946 were noble. This group of World War II veterans took up arms to restore Rule of Law in the quaint east Tennessee town of Athens (McMinn County), between Chattanooga and Knoxville. That fight became known as the Battle of Athens.

Open Thread: National Day of Prayer

Thursday, May 3, 2012

Today is the National Day of Prayer.

In 1775, on the eve of Revolution, the First Continental Congress called for "a day of publick humiliation, fasting, and prayer." Indeed, our Founders saw a national day of prayer as a fitting observance.

Petty Politics v the Price of Defending Liberty

By Mark Alexander · Thursday, April 26, 2012

With the backdrop of media diversions on Tuesday morning, I was contemplating topics to address this week. Above all the incoming e-mail commentary on the previous day's petty political punditry, a new batch of messages arrived in a private inbox. Among the latter communications was one from a young 1st Lt. Army Ranger stationed in Afghanistan.
