Choosing the rule of law over the rule of man marked a signal event in the history of civilization. Those seeking to implement “social justice” through the courts want Lady Justice to take off her blindfold so she can see the faces of the poor huddled victims of American class injustice—and rule accordingly.
Make no mistake [...]

Can you imagine a Mother’s Day ad urging the purchase of a vacuum cleaner for Workaholic Moms? Or a greeting card that depicts mom grinning contentedly over a hot stove?
These slightly irreverent images came to mind as I surveyed the advertisements for Father’s Day this year.
Go to Amazon.com, for example, where you’ll see a [...]

TO MY GRANDSON
Dear Keirick;
Your eighth birthday is fast approaching, and I wanted to put down some thoughts as you finish up Second Grade, and prepare for next year.
I was very proud on your first day of school, when you were the only one in your class of five and six year olds who knew the [...]

Investment Strategies Part 3: Rebalance Regularly Between Asset Classes and Subcategories
(2009-06-08) by David John Marotta
The investment metric correlation helps you continually take your gains off the table for safe spending. And it helps you determine what constitutes an asset class and which subcategories to consider for further diversification. Once these categories are defined, correlation can [...]

Despite Leon Panetta’s shameless finger pointing, it must be remembered that the Democrats, his party, were the ones who sought to brazenly exploit catastrophe, whether natural or man-made, as political ammunition. From the Oklahoma City bombing to the Mississippi River floods to Hurricane Katrina, liberals can be counted upon to infuse their political message into any occasion of human suffering.

The potential for change is directly conditional on the persistence and endurance of the youth filling the streets of Iran. It will be unstoppable if the demonstrations move to the poorer rural regions of the country.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if, like Ebenezer Scrooge, we could have a preview of the future so that we could change our course if necessary? This can happen in real life. Such a dispensation was granted to me 35 years ago. It happened while I was studying literature at Oxford University in England.
At the time, [...]

Investment Strategies Part 2: Use Correlation to Define Asset Classes
(2009-06-01) by David John Marotta
To boost returns and protect your investments, you can use the investment metric called correlation. It will rebalance your portfolio at three levels of investment allocation: stocks and bonds, asset classes and sectors of the economy. The dominant categories of stability and [...]

Over the past few years, I have watched the area from 1410 to 1442 Dresden Dr. in the Brookhaven community of Atlanta, Georgia where I live go from the eyesore of a vacant lot dotted with a laundromat and some shotgun houses in disrepair to the eye-pleasingly beautiful brick building called Village Place Brookhaven.
This transformation [...]

In assessing Team Obama’s semi-nationalization of the auto industry, a slight alteration of the famous verse by Elizabeth Barrett Browning encapsulates my reaction: “How do I [not] love thee? Let me count the ways.”
1) The government takeover is unconstitutional.
The Constitution authorizes Uncle Sam to “regulate commerce,” not to own and manage it. Even before the [...]

“Sentence first, verdict afterwards!” Remember that memorable line from Lewis Carroll’s classic, Through the Looking Glass? And if we take a recent Department of Justice report to heart, we will soon be marching to the tune of “Accusation first, incarceration next!”
Adding to the absurdity, the DoJ report was written not by a recognized university researcher, [...]

I’ve been reading the news again. It’s great fun, like watching an EEG trace as it…slowly…flat-lines. Reading a newspaper increasingly reminds me of watching a leper to see which finger falls off next. You can make bets.
In the news I find more on torture. I’m so proud. Home of the brave, land of the free, [...]

There’s an important article in the Politico , titled, “Obama invokes Jesus more than Bush.” President Barack Obama, says the article, has mentioned Jesus Christ “in a number of high-profile public speeches,” more so than did President George W. Bush, and in much less “innocuous contexts.”
Obama has done so in order to promote certain [...]

A letter from the diaspora
Dear Friends.
‘While the cat’s away the mice will play’ goes the old English proverb. I’m pretty sure there’s a Shona equivalent – something involving the endearing ‘kitsi’ no doubt! But whatever the language, there’s a great deal of truth in the old proverb. As soon as Prime Minister Tsangirai boarded that [...]

At this seminal moment in the life of the GOP and the country, party insiders are revealing a total moral and philosophical bankruptcy, and an appalling level of cowardice. Heartland America is desperately looking for someone possessing sufficient wisdom and courage to rise up as the leader who will stridently confront the liberal political machine that is systematically dismantling their beloved nation. Unfortunately, no leading Republican has displayed the necessary spine to take on this battle.

Not that America wants a king, because it doesn’t, but there is evidently a vast portion of society that yearns for a personality that it believes will transcend it to a place that Camelots are made of. America doesn’t want to literally revisit the anachronism of royalty, yet the British monarchy is as popular in the U.S. as it is in Great Britain.

In the minds of many, evil is epitomized by Nazi Germany. An embittered Austrian corporal, a racist ideology, and an amoral eugenics movement all came together at the same point in human history, eventually spelling the deaths of six million Jews and others.
Others view Communism as the far greater evil, a godless philosophy that eventually [...]

Self-styled pro-family advocate, Scott Lively, has made a career of drawing parallels from Nazi Germany to modern homosexuality. Director of Abiding Truth Ministries, Lively has gone around the world with the message that homosexuals were responsible for Nazi totalitarianism. On the contrary, my research leads me to believe the more common view that homosexuals were indeed victims [...]

The human mind and spirit cannot endure for very long the chaotic vacillation of such lawlessness before the individual eventually cries out for answers to the extremes of licentiousness and total control.  Throughout much of the Modern Era, the Christian apologist could appeal to a shared respect for historic and scientific fact common to both [...]

A few days before “Earth Day” (which happens to be the same day as Lenin’s Birthday), America’s ideological greens and reds received a present they have been desiring for many moons: The Environmental Protection Agency—egged on by the U.S. Supreme Court—officially designated carbon dioxide (CO2) as a pollutant. That means that either congress or the [...]

Saltarelli’s group is the first men’s group at the University of Chicago compared with nine women’s advocacy groups at the same. Men in Power was started to raise awareness of men, professionally speaking. Saltarelli, who desires to become an attorney, believes men need help with respect to the fields of medicine, law and business.

I was at the Rotunda at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, June 3, for the dedication of the statue to President Ronald Reagan. I was there because Bill Clark was there. Judge Clark, as readers of my material know, was Reagan’s closest and most important adviser.
Clark is 77 years old. His wife, Joan, died a [...]

In an estuary the turn of the tide happens every day – when it happens it is difficult to see at first but soon the water starts to run, slowly at first and then like a flood, sweeping all in front of it and even tempering the incoming waves. Are we seeing the first signs [...]

 As the confirmation ritual of Sonia Sotomayor continues to play out, it is becoming grimly apparent that the only relevant issue, her worthiness (or more accurately, her total lack thereof) as a guardian of the Constitution, will be no more of a consideration for Republicans than it ever was for Barack Obama. Flowery rhetoric and [...]

President Barack Obama plans to call for an improved dialogue with Islam in his upcoming speech in Egypt. All faiths would benefit from greater understanding. Yet no conversation will be complete if it does not address Islam’s persecution of Christians, Jews, and other religious minorities.
Western efforts to reach out to Islam are increasing. However, many [...]

The powerful gun lobby attached an amendment to the must-pass credit-card-reform act Mr. Obama had decided to enact without delay. This forced him to approve a gun law he would probably otherwise not, when he signed it into law on May 22.
