Those of us who love this country still believe we can survive this downward spiral started by Obama and consummated by Biden. These two men and their Leftist Party of Doom have done their best to destroy America as we knew it.

Treehugger: At Least Lloyd Taught Me a New Word – CAVE
Sometimes I spend too much time on Treehugger. Well, after all, it’s sometimes a great place to sharpen my arguments against authoritarianism, eco-socialism, and neo-aristocrats that decided that their Enviro-Nirvana MUST be achieved regardless of what you and I think about their end point and ESPECIALLY how they want to drag us to it. And yes, … Read more
Random Change is Useless
I always cringed at campaigns that claimed: “Vote for Joe, It’s Time For Change.” What does that mean? What are we changing and why? What will the change look like, and will society be better off?
Can Democrats Wake Up in Time to Save the Country?
It’s no secret that Democrats and Republicans have always held opposing views on issues like government spending, welfare programs, and personal responsibility.
To Say That We Have Lost Our Way Is an Understatement.
Like those nations that have preceded us in history the United States of America has reached a turning point. To say that we have lost our way is an understatement.
Notable Quote – When you get down to the root of the matter, Custom reigns supreme
Reformatted just a bit as our current writing customs want shorter sentences: Had they [ancient Roman legal theorists] studied the facts of consciousness, and learned that conduct was necessarily exhibited in the form of habit and custom. They would have seen that the origin of law rested in a self-governing principle of society (i.e., Customs … Read more
Promoted from the Comments: Don’t Be like There When You Come Here!
Prolific commenter NHNative had posted the above on Steve’s “NH Dem – Religious Liberty is Extremist!” post and wondered if GraniteGrok could make some up as fundraisers. It is something that a lot of NH Natives (and long-term non-natives like me as well) keep saying.
If Freedom is Worth All the Ink and Sweat and Blood Spilled for It Over the Centuries…
America is the most prosperous nation on Earth. Social justice rhetoric insists we must bring identical prosperity to each and every person. Failure to do so is accepted by them as evidence America and capitalism must be torn down. In their place the offer is tyranny and demonstrably failed economics.
Biden’s Covert Conversion to Socialism
This is not Joe Biden’s first presidential run, nor is it his first encounter with character issues. During the campaign of 1987, Biden’s presidential ambitions were derailed after voters learned he had plagiarized a campaign speech. That led to the revelation that he had also plagiarized several pages of a paper while in law school. … Read more
It’s a Revolution … What Kind Does not Matter
Lee Edwards is the fellow in conservative thought at The Heritage Foundation. Working at the B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics he wrote an article recently. In it, Mr. Edwards observes “…there are revolutions and there are revolutions.”
R.I.P. A Political Era on SCOTUS is Over
Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. She has been on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) since rocks were young. She has left this life just as we come to the wrap up of a bitter presidential campaign. This presidential election is visceral in the hate it is bringing out.
Republican for Congress Takes Maryland Democrat Politicians to the Woodshed on Black Lives
Kim Klacik is from Maryland, lives in Baltimore, and is a Republican woman running for Congress. As a Republican, you’d think her prospects dim (Elijah Cummings held the seat for 23 years until his recent death). But she’s not sitting on her hands. She’s taking it to the Left, and she is not taking prisoners.
Trump Budget Cuts the Size of the Federal Government
President Trump’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2021 does something we should support. The proposed budget would reduce the size and reach of the federal bureaucracy. That is a good thing. It is a step in the right direction. As important is the way he has chosen to do this too is significant.
Throughout History Slavery was the Norm. Overcoming it Required Exceptional Ideals
Throughout history slavery was ordinary, it has been the norm. Overcoming it required exceptional ideals; values and principles. Most people today lack context for their understanding of American slavery.
Government Bureaucrats Control Education
Government bureaucrats control public education. Are you one of the people who object to much of what goes on in government operated schools? Are you also willing to tolerate it because that’s where you property taxes go? It sure isn’t free… but it’s paid for. Would you rather have an extra car, a boat, vacation … Read more

Being Outed As A Conservative
What causing political change? In America today the political landscape is shifting. That is the natural result of polarization. The underlying truth is that over the last few decades a billion people worldwide have lifted themselves out of poverty. This happened because capitalism was deployed with globalization of markets. The greatest benefits accrued in China … Read more
The Real Agents of Change
Democrats like to promote themselves as change agents. Agents of change. And this makes them hip. Modern. Progressive. But nothing could be further from the truth.
Democrats promote the politicization of everything and by extension the bureaucratization of everything. To them government is the best arbiter of progress. But the process of making government the dispatcher of innovation has exactly the opposite effect. It creates barriers to entry, reduces choices, dries up resources or locks them away, and leaves a few cumbersome behemoths who plod along beside big government, benefiting from their shared monopoly on “progress.”
Promises, Promises…
It’s time for another Obama Inauguration speech and if he keeps promises made in this one as well as he did the last….well, at least this time there is an actual shelf-life on the Obama Presidency as well. H/T Reason.TV, c/o Hot Air
