    Les: Like I said in my recent post: Time flies, but in YOUR case, you were having fun!

    Congratulations! And I'm SO glad you and your lovely wife will have some time alone. You most certainly need it--working as much as you do.

    Enjoy, my friend!

    You call an anniversary a "Landmark?"

    Maybe it is a landmark, I mean a year of parading around as a libertarian loving, freedom demanding, smaller government and lower taxes (except when the president is a republican) patriot, REPUBLICIAN, is not an easy feat!

    Keep up the good work, this pretending to be what you are not would make a drag queen proud!

    You forgot to thank Donald in all of his various reincarnations too!

    Congratulations Les.
    I've only been a visitor here for a short time, but it has been a very worthwhile short time. Keep up the good work and keep up the fight.

    Also, congratulations on being the target of pathetic little children like TAO. They are so void of integrity themselves that they are consumed with incredulity when they come across it in someone else, as you can see from her comment above. Their weak and intellectually slothful attacks on you merely indicate that you are speaking the truth in clarity.

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely ...

When and How Will it End?

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism This is America. We are an English speaking nation. We have distinct and traditional American cultural values. We have some Americans in our population who have difficulty speaking a coherent sentence. We have many who cannot construct a complete and proper sentence. Yet we find the time and the money to educate youth in Arabic and Arabic culture. Mind you this is a Federal Grant program and limited to only five select school districts. At least for now. At a cost of 1.3 millions dollars students on these select district will be required,  you heard {read} right, required as mandatory part of their curriculum to learn Arabic. This is a blatant abuse of taxpayer money, and it is indicative of the future course our nation has embarked upon under the fuzzy, misguided, and incredibly deceitful anti leade...

Thoughts On the Civil War and What Precipitated It...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Over at Contra O'Reilly Will Hart has been running a interesting series on the Civil War and what the primary causes were. Historians continue to disagree with the root, or primary causes. However it is generally accepted among knowledgeable and unbiased experts that slavery had very little to do with the onset of the War Between the States. Causes were primarily economic and constitutional. Will, in his posts has done a good job of pointing this out with supporting documentation. This site offers the following, a July 2013 article by David Hirsch in support of Will Hart's arguments. Arguments this site wholly concurs with. Arthur Hirsch's recent article about the Battle of Gettysburg reveals a disturbing ignorance of the political dynamics that brought this nation to a war that 150 years later remains the most cataclysmic event in our history ("A defining day relived," July 2). It accepts the sh...
