Path of Grass Progress

January 7, 2011 January 7, 2011News

(also posted at PathofGrass.com) Yesterday I got the manuscript draft back from my editor. He did a great job on it, and now my task is to go through and decide if I want to keep all of his changes. Some of them I ignore after a long time of contemplation (shhh…don’t tell him!), others I apply exactly as he says and with a few I make alternative changes that fix the problem. It is very exciting for me to see this book coming so close to publication. I have another book draft that never made it this far (and…

A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

On why we shouldn’t wish for the good old days of President Bush’s administration. ~ 14 minutes

A History of Spending

It isn’t what the Democrats would tell you…nor the Republicans.

Bring Them Home!

November 22, 2010 November 22, 2010News

I’m sometimes accused of being “anti-military,” as if that’s as bad as being “anti-life.” But I wish to clarify my position on this. I’m not against the military, if by military you mean the individuals who are out there risking their lives. If that’s what you mean, then I’m all for them. I get a little misty-eyed when I see a reunion of a soldier and his family. I do care deeply about those soldiers. In fact, I care for them so much that it pains me to think of these people giving up these years of their life, precious…

Thank You, Bush…for the TSA

November 17, 2010 November 17, 2010News

I guess the title of this post gives it all away. There’s been much commotion these days over the TSA. Haven’t you noticed? It is here, and here, if that’s not enough, then here, here and here. As many are saying, it is just out of control. There is no way that anyone will convince me to fly while there are still these scanners, still these pat-downs, still the horrible TSA. I’d rather miss Mises U or seeing Ron Paul than go through that. And I hope the conservatives are happy now. I hope the Republicans are satisfied. This is the…

The High Cost of War

November 15, 2010 November 15, 2010News

A report just came out, revealing that it costs NATO $50 million to kill a single Taliban insurgent. So as The New American points out, the Republicans will respond to this news and say, “oh, well, let’s try to make killing more efficient. If we are efficient enough at killing ‘them’ then we’ll win!” instead of thinking that perhaps it is better to save a human life than to save $50 million.

We Refuse to Fly

November 10, 2010 November 10, 2010Politics, Shared

Glad to see this website, it expresses my feelings about flying and the TSA. Some will say that I’m making a big deal of nothing, but what is more important than our health and privacy?

Bush: The Greater Threat to Liberty

November 10, 2010 November 10, 2010Christianity, Politics

Note: This statement is made in relation to the former president and the current President Obama. There are some who have come before and some who will probably come after who are greater threats to our liberty. Last night after walking out on the Nightly News (I figured I’d be kicked out of the room anyways…for my adamant yelling at the TV screen) I made the extraordinary statement that Bush was a far worse president than President Obama. After reflection I realize that it wasn’t all that extraordinary, but it sounds better that way, doesn’t it? So I had to…

The War of Terror

October 22, 2010 October 22, 2010Politics

oops…I mean, of course, the War on Terror. Silly me, to think that a war waged against terror could be terror itself. This politically incorrect man seems to think so, here at LewRockwell.com. Enough with the sarcasm. The article I linked to above goes very well with my book which will be coming out early next year. It was going to be a short story anthology and now I’m not quite sure. I’m beginning to hope that it might actually turn out to be a novel. Novels are so much more impressive, don’t you know? I can call myself an…

“What If?”

October 2, 2010 October 2, 2010Politics, Video

This is one of my favorite videos ever. I hope we never forget the truths that Ron Paul points out. It is a matter of life and death. Perhaps not for us, but for other innocent human beings.
