Jack Wilson: “I killed evil. I took out evil.”
Jack Wilson was the man that stood up when the murderer in his church killed two of the parishioners. Jack stopped him with one shot to the head. A Sheepdog, a hero. He, and the others that were armed that Sunday morning, were willing to lay down their lives to protect their flock. Yes, their flock.
Yet another “Man in the Street” interview: Go ahead, college kid, say the Pledge
Pledge of Allegiance (to the United States) – how has this become so controversial? Across the blogosphere, we’ve seen college groups, city councils, Democrat committees, local group, all reject saying what is “I continue to pledge my fealty to the United States.”
Hate Thanksgiving: what else would you expect from two generations being taught to hate America?
It is almost a week after Thanksgiving but these kinds of notions and mindsets didn’t arise from nothingness.

American Exceptionalism – hoping it is more than a campaign slogan
This caught my eye as one of the things that Romney said after announcing that Paul Ryan was to be his Veep pick:
“I love America. We’re going to restore American principles. We love this country. We don’t want to change it. We don’t want to transform it. We want to restore the principles of America that made us the hope of the earth.”
Again, I ask you, loyal reader, to compare that, going back to our Founders vision, to what Obama has said:
Blind fools, in the service of blind, enervated American elites….
Can extremely highly educated, very widely traveled and knowledgeable people be amazingly, obviously, exceptionally, absolutely blind to the lessons of history? Mark Steyn—who not incidentally lives in the Free State of New Hampshire—explains that, why yes, as a matter of fact they can be. In fact, there’s an example of one—well respected!—who recently wrote a … Read more
