CARDELLO: Did the Greatest Generation Set Us Up for Failure

I am a firm believer in adults taking responsibility for their actions. Too often, you see the excuse for someone’s improprieties as a difficult childhood or growing up in a one-parent household. How about no, regardless of our foundation, we are adults and should know the difference between right and wrong, between moral and immoral. … Read more

Where Have All The Flags Gone

I wrote this as a Letter to the Editor in 2006, and now, 17 years later, its meaning still holds true. Our lives since 9/11 have yet to return to normal as some of our liberties have not been restored. There is not a student in K-16 that was alive on that beautiful September morning, so it is imperative to keep the story alive.

The preamble to our Constitution concludes with the words “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” This is the way the people who wrote our Constitution envision its purpose. A blessing is what is good in the eyes of God. It is a good whose possession properly belongs only to those who … Read more

Blogline of the Day – This is not, as the Progressives would have you believe, “jingoism”.

Preamble:

Yesterday, President Trump addressed the graduating class at the U.S. Naval Academy. He told the incoming naval officers, “you are winners, you are warriors.” Trump praised the resolve of the U.S. armed forces and America’s achievements, stating:

Our ancestors trounced an empire, tamed a continent and triumphed over the worst evils in history. We are not going to apologize for America. We are going to stand up for America.

This is shameless nationalism. Isn’t it great?

The Line:

Show me a nation or a people that has prevailed over determined adversaries without this sort of pride in its ancestors and its history.

The Question:
