12 Years A Slave.

on November 23rd, 2013 by admin

No movie has impacted me more than this film.  The only movie that compares to 12 Years is 1989’s Glory.  Not only does 12 Years accurately portray the horrendous nature of slavery, it also shows the indomitable spirit of Solomon Northrup, whose true story this movie is based on.  The acting was superb.  It’s hard […]

Does Male Power Exist?

on September 11th, 2013 by admin

Dr. Warren Farrell book The Myth of Male Power answers the question to my post title.  And that answer is no.  Farrell’s’ book dispels the myth that men are the dominant gender.  From previous posts here and here, I discuss how the feminist movement, in its quest for women to be taken seriously in the […]

The Boston Marathon Terrorist Attacks

on April 24th, 2013 by admin

The aftermath of the terrorist attacks at the Boston Marathon symbolizes the massive evasion perpetuated by the Obama Administration.  This was an intelligence failure from top to bottom-again.  As with all Islamic terrorism, the bombings at the marathon were an attack on hard work, dedication, success, and achievement.  In short, anything related to Western civilization.  […]

The Grace Kelly Story

on September 17th, 2012 by admin

I’ve had a fascination with the life of Grace Kelly.  For one thing she was a world-renowned, Oscar winning actress.  But eventually gave it all up to marry Prince Rainier of Monaco.  A book that gives an inside look at the Grimaldi royal family.  Once Upon a Time: Behind the Fairy Tale of Princess Grace and […]

9/11 Terrorist Attacks, 11 Years Later.

on September 11th, 2012 by admin

It has been eleven years today since the terrorist attacks.  Every year around this time, I get more angry at the vague tributes from the media.  It’s important to remember that 3000 men, women, and children were murdered by Muslim terrorists.  These terrorists followed the irrational teachings of Islam.  They targeted New York City and […]

Happy 4th of July.

on July 4th, 2012 by admin

I realized my last post was very negative.  In light of the Supreme Court’s unwillingness to uphold our freedom, I’m very concerned about the future of our country.  So rather than leave things on a negative footing, I have linked an article celebrating our nation’s success.  Via Gus Van Horn, this article written by Objectivist […]

The United States Is No Longer A Free Country.

on July 3rd, 2012 by admin

No one should be surprised by the Supreme Court decision upholding the dishonestly named Affordable Care Act.  Add this case to the long list of cases such as Dred Scott v Sanford and Plessy v Ferguson, as a negative turning point in American history.  The issue at hand was whether Congress had the authority, under the Commerce Clause […]

The Power Of Books.

on May 3rd, 2012 by admin

Via American Thinker, I came across an article about a controversy that occurred earlier this year.  A young girl named Jada Williams, a student in the Rochester Public School system, was inspired by an assignment to read Frederick Douglass’ autobiography Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, to write an essay indicting […]

The Atlas Shrugged Movie.

on January 17th, 2012 by admin

I finally got the chance to watch the Atlas Shrugged movie.  Since I rented it through Netflix I was able to view the film multiple times.  I’ve done a review of the book a few years ago.  This was during the time the Tea Party movement was gaining momentum.  References to Atlas Shrugged and “Going […]
