Bronson’s character in these movies was depicted as a ‘vigilante’ by his detractors. And in each and every instance when the word ‘vigilante’ was used the facial expressions going along with its usage depicted a lot of disdain and disapproval. Did Bronson really portray a ‘vigilante’? Not in my book.I’ve always pictured ‘vigilantes’ as a group of men meeting secretly who write down the names of

To hear our political and military leaders denounce these abuses is hypocrisy of the highest order. No one is asking why these abuses are occurring. Instead they just let out a self-righteous gasp…and proclaim to the world their outrage.We can kill thousands innocent men, women, and children with Specter gun ships…we can annihilate several hundred thousand innocent men, women, and children with

The Miami Herald reports that Army Secretary Noel Harvey, as well as Gen.

Let's go back to a period in time, prior to the Wright brothers, when the popular thought of the day was, "If God intended man to fly, he would have created him with wings". The Wright brothers had a vision that was contrary to this popular viewpoint. Matter of fact, the Wright brothers were highly ridiculed in their efforts to create a flying machine. The Wright Brothers, like most true

In Argentina's economic crisis the government seized private pension plans. Those pensioners that invested wisely and had wealth in those plans had them plundered by their very own government.Many other people living in Argentina discreetly and quietly moved their money abroad prior to the crisis and were able to rebuild their lives relatively quickly.

We definitely need a revolution in our thought processes and our basic social structure. An armed overthrow of a dictatorial regime certainly cleans the plate and possibly, for a very short time, allows for the illusion of freedom, but the plate soon becomes dirty again and the stench unbearable. An entirely new social structure based upon sanctity of property whereby every individual is in 100%

A lot of people think taxation is OK as long as it is 'fair and just'. The reason taxation will never be 'fair and just' is because taxation, no matter how it is promoted, is STEALING and STEALING is immoral. Even if taxes were only one tenth of one percent of income, it would still represent STEALING. The problem with the 'free lunch' program and democracy is the 'free lunch' crowd has an ever

Essentially, when you vote...you are telling the world you are incapable of managing your own life and want someone else to do it for you.

The process of promoting political combatants to battle each other at election time is no different than the promotion of professional wrestling.

If the U.S. government cringes at the suggestion of targeted assassination of leaders such as Chavez in Venezuela, it is only because they understand the greater implication.

My view of the war in Iraq has not changed. It is the utmost hypocrisy for a nation, who actually owns and has used weapons of mass destruction against innocent men, women, and children to tell another nation they can’t own or use similar weapons. If another nation told us that we couldn’t own or use weapons of mass destruction and tried to enforce it by invasion and occupation, what would our

Most major religious teaching adheres, at least philosophically, to the concept ofnon-encroachment on the property of others and living up to the promises or agreements we make.

What kind of meaningful consensus is possible? What are the bands that continue to hold us together as a nation

I would say the chances of having another major retaliation incident in the U.S. are pretty good, but when one considers that a major goal of Osama and Company has been to target the ‘soul’ of American Imperialism (the economy), the majority of Osama’s goals have already been reached. Much like the moment preceding the collapse of the twin towers the actual economic collapse may also be delayed

Dear JoeSixPack:Politics is part of our freedom, which to say the least is not perfect in many ways, but that is what we have and we must all live with it right or wrong! You ridicule people for voting, but what have you got to offer that is better? -- Name Withheld-----Dear Name Withheld:You ask a great question. I’ll do my best to answer it. First of all, politics has nothing to do with freedom

Old. Smart. Productive. Rather than being an economic deadweight, the next generation of older Americans is likely to make a much bigger contribution to the economy than many of today's forecasts predict. Sure, most people slow down as they get older. But new research suggests that boomers will have the ability -- and the desire -- to work productively and innovatively well beyond today's normal

I pledge allegiance to the PRINCIPLES this country was founded upon. The flag is merely a rag. A rag can represent or symbolize something good or evil. A rag can be used to wash a car or wipe greasy hands. A rag can be saluted or burned. A rag can be waved by a pirate, a slave, or a free man. PRINCIPLES endure forever while rags are merely rags. Nation States love to nurture loyalty to a rag (

Seeking freedom through the political process is much like seeking to become rich by purchasing lottery tickets. Yeah, there are a few winners in the lotto, but there are far more losers, just like politics. There are just enough wins in both crap shoots to keep suckers coming back to the table for one more play and they both continue to throw good money after bad. Both politics and the lotto

First of all, I’m a life-time member of the NRA and have been for quite a few years. It wasn’t that many years ago I proudly displayed my nicely framed life-time NRA membership certificate on my office wall along with my Winchester 1873. Out of principle, I took it down and regret I ever became a member.In a nut-shell, this is what is wrong with the NRA. The NRA has become a bureaucracy not

Dear Congressman Miller,I was a flight attendant for United Airlines for 35 years. I retired in 2003 with the promise of a pension to see me through the rest of my years. I am a single mom with two boys in college and have federal loans totaling $15,000. (I have already paid off a $13,500 loan). I knew I could manage that on what I was going to receive for my pension. Now, the rug has been torn

Was it John F. Kennedy who stated, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but rather ask what you can do for your country"? Do you remember when everyone got a little misty-eyed over that one when it first came out? Listeners proudly puffed out their chests, bent over, grabbed their ankles, and prepared to take it in the shorts...for the 'team'.Picture for a moment staying in a hotel for a

Politics of the right, left and everything in between is what has brought us this train wreck of high under-employment, runaway triple deficits, exportation of our manufacturing sector, out of control health care costs, a bankrupt airline industry and a nearly bankrupt automobile industry, and the Social Security crisis. Both the right AND the left have built their political platforms on promises

It would be highly unlikely I would have ever made it to the office of the president because it is not something I would consider a worthy goal to aspire to in the first place. What type of personality would it take to rule over the affairs of others? For the answer to this question see I Samuel 8:11-18.In the context of the above, I will answer the question. If I was president of the United

“The great conflict of the 21st century will not be between the West and terrorism. Terrorism is a tactic, not a belief. The true battle will be between modern civilization and anti-modernists; between those who believe in the primacy of the individual and those who believe that human beings owe their allegiance and identity to a higher authority; between those who give priority to life in this

The zealots of man-made religion are no less different than those zealots in the political realm. The game is control. The professional pulpiteers warn the disgruntled, “If you leave the church, you are leaving God.” Again, it is the false alternative…the limited choice of a broken arm or a broken leg. No one truly wants to leave God, so many who should leave organized religion don’t, and allow

There are a number of reasons given at various times to justify or excuse inappropriate behavior of nations in their dealings with one another. In some cases war is simply a natural outgrowth of centralized power. Large centralized powers, such as the United States, largely pattern themselves after the fallen Roman Empire. It is quite ironic that the U.S. ‘powers that be’ feel they can use the

If you have a nation of sovereign individuals, you will have a sovereign nation.Individual sovereignty has been on the decline since the inception of the Constitution. It is no surprise that our national sovereignty has followed suit. The Declaration of Independence was a much superior document over the Constitution, in my opinion, because it placed individual sovereignty above that of the State.

To desire freedom is an instinct. To secure it requires intelligence. It must be comprehended and self asserted. To petition for it is to stultify oneself, for a petitioner is a confessed subject and lacks the spirit of a freeman. To rail and rant against tyranny is to manifest inferiority, for there is no tyranny but ignorance; to be conscious of one’s powers is to lose consciousness of tyranny.

What is 'freedom' and how is it achieved? The word 'freedom' is tossed around as cheaply as the word 'love' and we have an extreme shortage of both, in real terms, in this world. In order to gain a good grasp of either concept, we've got to define our terms. The more finite our definition, the more successful we will be in our pursuit. What is freedom? Are YOU free? Can a nation or country be
