Modern societies are not police states. There is no way to stop a small number of fanatical martyrs from going on mass killing sprees like we have seen in India this week. The chilling details of what was planned for Mumbai (Bombay), India, now spewing from the sole surviving attacker, are a wake up call for […]

Is Barack Obama a stealth centrist? Did he just dupe the far left into electing him as the progressive agent of change only to walk out of the centrist closet and dash their hopes of a liberal/progressive age of America? According to a lot of discussions the Democrats elected a surprise centrist to the White […]

It seems the world is not ready to destroy the world-wide economy on a fancy of error ridden ‘science’. As more and more evidence comes in refuting the Chicken Little calls from the pews of the Church of Al Gore/IPCC, it seems the idea of blowing trillions of dollars and destroying the minimal, quality of […]

The Stratapherians are hosting family and friends this wonderfully sunny day in Northern Virginia, looking back on a year that has been personally one of the best we have had. Our 19 year old sun is heading into Marine boot camp in mid-December, so this Thanksgiving is extra special. We all want to thank all […]

People seem to be so scared of facing a threat they would prefer to walk blindly to the gallows, pretending they do not exist. Others won’t do a thing to save themselves, preferring to […]

While all the news is not great these days, some of it is just great. For the first time since I can remember I filled up with $1.99/gallon gas. Now, are the dems really going to push green policies that bring back they dog days of $4.00/gallon gas?

Illegal immigration is an issue I find myself just disgusted with. On the far right we have the “deport them now” crowd who call anything less ‘amnesty’.
