and individual liberty

is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it

Civic gratitude is not only a
virtue, but a nation's most necessary virtue. History bears that out. Rome was
the greatest empire in ancient history, therefore its fall was the greatest
fall the world had ever seen. Why did Rome fall? Some people say it was because
of its high taxes. Others say it was weakened by its embrace of Christian
compassion. It could have been bad luck. But the most common answer is Rome fell
because of decadence.......
Decadence gets closer to the truth
than anything else, but it's a particular kind of decadence that we're talking about.

Are You a Conservative? Do you
consider yourself a liberal? If you find yourself using either of these terms
when discussing your political worldview, you may have fallen into a trap.
Let me explain.....

While unemployment numbers are of
great concern, the greater concern is the number of underemployed Americans. According
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the underemployment rate in 2012 was 14.7
percent, amounting to 23.1 million people.
Underemployed Americans include those who are officially
considered unemployed, plus involuntary part-time workers and "marginally
attached" workers — those who have not looked for work within the last
four weeks but have sought a job within the last year and are available for
employment.

Everyone is reading about this right
now, but I don’t see anyone asking the Constitutional question.
"In another delay for the
health care law and another sign of problems with its central website, the
Obama administration announced a day before the Thanksgiving holiday that it
would push off online enrollment for small businesses by another year."
The Department of Health and Human
Services said Wednesday that it will delay the launch of the online SHOP
Marketplace – which is meant for small businesses – until November
2014. Officials did not give a hard deadline, though the start could
easily slip past the 2014 midterms, sparing the administration any headaches
right before the election.

I’ve seen this before. So have you.
It is said all the time. But just so we have the idiocy before us in all its
glory;
Men most often regret not having sex with more people while
women frequently regret having sex with the wrong partner, according to a
recently released study.
The study
from researchers at the University of Texas and University of California-Los
Angeles aimed to show that the feeling of regret is part of the evolutionary
process when it comes to reproduction, the University of Texas said on Monday.
"For men
throughout evolutionary history, every missed opportunity to have sex with a
new partner is potentially a missed reproduce opportunity - a costly loss from
an evolutionary perspective," said Martie Haselton, a UCLA social psychology
professor who worked on the study.

1914 and today
By MARTIN
WALKER, UPI Editor Emeritus
The
latest flurry of claims, counterclaims and saber-rattling over the disputed
islands between China, Japan and South Korea has been made more serious by the
decision of the U.S. government to challenge China's assertion of control with
a flight of B-52 bombers.
It has been for some
years a commonplace for historically minded commentators to suggest that the
rise of China is reminiscent of the rise of the Kaiser's Germany in the years
before 1914.
