Nashville’s Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency (MDHA) has begun legal proceedings under Eminent Domain to condemn and seize Joy’s business. It has prospered at the head of Music Row for almost 30 […]

The Pursuit of Happiness, Our Most Important Right

July 4th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Near the beginning of The Declaration of Independence, these words appear.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among […]

The Zeitgeist May Be Changing

July 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Zeitgeist = Spirit of the Times.

Why do I think that?

I just read a preview for a new hard-cover novel scheduled for release on August 5 by John Ringo, entitled The Last Centurion. Here’s the two-sentence blurb:

“In the second decade of the 21st century the world is struck by two catastrophes, a new mini-ice age and […]

Initiatives and Referendums are Bad; the People Unqualified to Participate

July 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

A friend sent me a link to an editorial from the Hartford (CT) Courant authored by Robert Satter. Mr. Satter is a judge trial referee in Hartford Superior Court and author of “Under the Gold Dome — An Insider’s Look at the Connecticut Legislature.” He is also, in my opinion, a very dangerous […]

Hell Freezes Over

July 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

Der Spiegel – the German weekly news magazine, comparable to Time or Newsweek here in the USA – has just posted a story praising the remarkable progress that has been made in Iraq.

This is the equivalent of the New York Times praising President Bush for his leadership and communication skills and his masterly command of […]

Leftists Blame W for Gas Prices or Look for the Union Libel

July 2nd, 2008 · 5 Comments

On a recent Sunday morning drive to church, I saw this sign. I was immediately struck by two things.
First, it hasn’t taken long for players on the Left to start marching to the beat of misinformation, deception and lies that must be part of Obama’s campaign if he is to win. He cannot […]

Will the Circle be Unbroken, Part I

July 1st, 2008 · 1 Comment

What Circle? 23 Music Circle East - Nashville, TN to be precise. And broken may be the kindest way to describe what the owner of the business at that address faces. Shattered, decimated, mercilessly hounded into oblivion all come to mind to describe what Joy Ford, owner of Country International Records (CIR), […]

Does Monty mean we (the US/US Military) are cruel?

June 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Kent Greenough is running against Monty Lankford in the Tn 4th Congressional District Republican Primary. Kent is a Marine Veteran as is his wife and his daughter is a Naval Veteran. Monty is not a Veteran so maybe these words he has on his website issues page don’t mean anything to him. […]
