THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND THE RECENT SUPREME COURT DECISION

I’ve decided to put my two cents into this debate.  Since President Obama’s swipe at Supreme Court for upholding the Constitution, I’m stunned at the response by the media and the American public.  From what I’ve heard about this decision it comes down to: the big, bad corporation ran by evil capitalists will take over our political system […]

Stepping out of Russian fiction, I can’t help but think that Dostoevsky set a tone that would foreshadow 20th century Russia.  I do not mean that the author would ever believe that a crude, false doctrine such as Marxism/Communism would take root in Russia.  But Russian culture, as shown in Dostoevsky’s novel laid the ground work for the most the destructive, most […]

I’m delving into Russian literature for the first time.  I’m currently reading Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment.  Dostoevsky’s gives us a detailed look inside the mind of a young student, who plans a murder of an old pawnbroker.  The story unfolds as Raskolnikov comes to terms with his horrible crime.  One aspect of this novel is […]

We all are familiar with Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.  However Rand was also a playwright.  She wrote three plays, Night of January 16th, Ideal and Think Twice.  Night of January 16th was the only play to be produced on and off Broadway.  Unlike The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, Rand’s plays do not […]

Two weeks have passed since the earthquake in Haiti.  It’s good that nations all over the world are helping with the rescue effort.  However, it is painfully obvious that Haiti has no infrastructure that would be able to withstand a natural catastrophe.  This is ultimately a consequence of corrupt government and more specifically, foreign aid.  This […]

Our recurring economic troubles in this new year will probably get worse.  I’m not a pessimist, but the Obama Administration’s policies come from a school of thought that believes government can solve economic problems.  All administrations from Theodore Roosevelt to George W. Bush, all interfered with the economy in some way.  However none of these […]

Happy New Year! In light of the protests in Iran and the aborted terrorist attack in Detroit, I wanted to direct your attention to a couple of books that will shed light on the coming revolution in Iran and the problem of Islam itself.  The first book, Not Without My Daughter is a shocking story of an American […]

I wanted to apologize for not responding to comments in a timely manner.  For some odd reason I could not reply.  I’m still new to blogging, and I’m still trying to figure it out.  It’ll be one year since I started, and I’m still learning.  For the New Year I will respond regularly to comments. […]

I’ve been a little lax in posting lately, although I have not stopped reading.  I am making a major move; due to the economy I have to move back in with my family.  Granted I prefer to be on my own, I cherish my  independence.  But, I have no other choice; and I appreciate my […]

I can’t believe it has been twenty years since that horrific wall came down.  I was only eleven year old at the time, so my understanding of the events were very limited.  As I got older I was interested in comparing life in the United States to that of the Communist world.  I was appalled […]
