Santa Sending Washington a Clear Message

by: Les Carpenter
Rational Nation USA

Its been a tough year for certain. Santa has it pretty much summed up, and of course Santa is yet again right. We can all hope the incoming 112th Congress is paying attention. And brushing up on Hayek and Rand.



Anybody going to be holding their breath?

    You are most likely right Odie. The powers that be are tone deaf as well as blind.

Can the Left and the Right Engage In Meaningful Dialogue?

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny On one of my prior posts a commenter expressed wonder at why I attempt to engage with liberals and endure their insults. This particular visitor also made generalized statements about liberals that were mostly hyperbole and in this bloggers opinion part of the problem. The same problem the left is often guilty of. The visitors complete comment. First of all I believe that the post above me was written by a nut. But the title of his or her post is interesting. Interesting enough for me to elaborate on. (Editor’s note:  The visitors opening, “ First of all the post above me” is in reference to a liberals comment that was lacking in any salient points and was essentially a ramble of incoherent gibberish.) The liberals for some reason other live in la-la land and have some utopian dream. Yes the Blame Bush game that is played by the progressive blogs we read is nothing less than disgusting, and hateful. They *hate* ...

Revisiting Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman’s' Presumption of Innocence until Proven Guilty......

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Trayvon Martin,a 17 year old teenager entering young adulthood was shoot dead in Sanford Florida. This much we know with certainty. When the story first broke this classical liberal with libertarian leanings accepted, based on the early news reports, that George Zimmerman as guilty of a horrendous and unforgivable crime. However,as more information surfaced I began to question the veracity of the liberal contention that Zimmerman had in reality committed an act of first degree murder (my initial conclusion). Given time, and the proper reflection after new information (and opinions based on this information) surfaced it seemed, at least to this writer anyway, to step back and chill just a bit. This I have recently been able to accomplish. Absence my initial judgement (which was based solely on emotional determinations) I have been able to see things kn a more rational light. Which is to saw we must allow justice, wh...

Coming Together is a Two Way Street

I am laughing my proverbial arse off. After spending a fair amount of time on left,  or perhaps they would prefer the tag progressive leaning  blogs, reading the constant belittling, name calling, insulting and often vulgar characterizations of almost  anything they disagree with, which of course is everything conservative , I am not surprised to learn of a Anti Tea Party movement. Before going any further however I must be fair and balanced. There are a few lefties whose views and opinions are deserving of consideration and I would be amongst the first to advise everyone, including conservatives, to do so. I shall not drop any names here but those of whom I am speaking of know who you are. And any conservative  whose mind is open enough to be challenged by smart lefties probably know who am speaking of as well. Another thing I have noticed about the left, or progressives is their tendency toward elitism and snobbery. I hav...

Rubio, a Polished Politician...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Marco Rubio when asked if homosexuality is a sin handled the question like a real professional politician. While saying his faith considers it a sin he went on to say there are a whole bunch of other sins as well. I guess an affirmative but without actually saying the words "I consider it a sin", or answering simply "yes." He added that from a policy position while his faith informs him on decisions he doesn't go around pointing fingers. ... "I can tell you what faith teaches, and faith teaches that it is. And that's what the Bible teaches ... but it also teaches that there are a bunch of other sins that are no less. It teaches that lying is a sin, it teaches that disrespecting your parents is a sin, it teaches that stealing is a sin, it teaches that coveting your neighbor and what your neighbor has is a sin," Rubio said. "So, there isn't a person in this room that isn't...

Independent Conservatism

I have, for many years, considered myself to be an independent conservative . Asked by some just what that means I would reply it implies I believe in the radical political views held by the founding fathers. Men of enlightened thinking who personified  "The Age of Reason." There have been many occasions I have been brought to task for pointing to the wisdom of  such giants as Washington, Jefferson, Paine, Franklin... the list could go on but for a lack of time. The heart of  the argument used is these are ghosts from the grave and thus bear no relevancy to the present. Nothing could be further from the truth. The intellectual giants that gave us The Declaration of Independence, formed our Republic, and gave us  The Constitution of the United States of America are as relevant today as they where 233 years ago. For it is their philosophy of governance that lives on today through ...
