The Lakota people of the northern plains, led by Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, were ground out of their way of life by the "Great Father" in Washington and his "Long Knives." The oppression was aided by other prominant leaders like Spotted Tail and Red Cloud who sold out and became accomplices in the demise of their own way of life. The story is heartbreaking, frustrating, and infuriating.If we have learned anything from history, it is that we don't learn from history.Does anyone else feel like our way of life, our freedom, and our lands are being taken away from us by a new "Great Father" in Washington and his "Long Knives" the press? Will we be forced to live on agencies of government health-care and turn in our weapons and sport utility vehicles? Will we be forced to send our children to the "Rising Sun" schools? Are those who ascribe to The New Tolerance and Political Correctness sowing the seeds of destruction of their own freedom and liberty?History infuriates me sometimes with its injustice and cruelty. Sadly, I don't have to look back into history for righteous indignation anymore. I just have to turn on the news.Just as in the closing days of the 1800s in the west; something special is being stolen. -
Here are a few one liners to lighten your day. Please contribute any of your own for the rest of the three of us to enjoy!
There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick
and the dead.Health is merely the slowest possible rate at
which one can die.Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing againHow is it one careless match can start a forest
fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
Never test the depth of the water with both
feet.Some days you are the bug; some days you are the
wind screen.A closed mouth gathers no foot.Experience is something you don't get until just
after you need it.Why do you have to "put your two
cents in"… but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"?
Where's that extra penny going to? -

Leadership, economics, and politics have been so thick on this blog for a while now I can't help acting upon impulse to bring you a little poetry. One of my favorites is Leonard Cohen. This is a rendition of one of his songs performed by none other than Bon Jovi. I hope you enjoy this little radical departure from the norm for this site! Consider this your art class for the day!

The Ludwig Von Mises blog, always an interesting read, recently posted an article that caught my attention. It's bad enough the overblown religion of global warming has the traction it does, but, hey, everyone is free to believe what they want to believe. But when it starts to become "treason" to oppose such fancies, that's when things have gone too far. For more of the details, check out the blog. Remember, the ferocity with which someone bites back after their ideas have been attacked is often a sign of hysterical fanaticism. We can and should be able to discuss opposing points of view, but name calling is a strategy that usually covers up a deeper motive. (Click on photo for larger image.

Okay, okay, how many times can I quote one author? The following quote is so sobering it should make the staunchest partisans on either side stop and take a cold, hard look. It comes from G. Edward Griffin and his book, The Creature from Jekyll Island:"The New World Order cannot become a functional reality so long as the United States remains able to go it alone. If the American people were to awaken to the realities of world politics and regain control over their government, they still would have the military and economic power to break away. Among the world planners, therefore, it has become the prime directive to weaken the United States both militarily and economically. And this directive has come from American leaders, not those of other countries."Just get the book and read it.You will never see things the same.
