The vast majority of human action reflects the thoughts, beliefs, and feelings of the actor. There have always been and there will always be those whose actions are erratic or divorced from reality. The actions of this small minority are best ascribed to pathology not philosophy. For the rest of us, we think, therefore we are. What we think about today, we act upon tomorrow.

Many people act as if they can take a clear truth that they are uncomfortable with, and somehow cause it to become not true by casting whatever shadow of doubt upon it that they can.

One can only hope that whoever takes over for House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) after he retires recognizes these defects, and can begin to move to restore normal order. The framers of the Constitution never envisioned a system where Congress has so little power to set the nation’s fiscal policies.

George Washington was America’s first General of Individual and Religious liberty, whose “General Orders” included the Continental Army to appoint and pay Christian Chaplains in every regiment in hopes “that every officer and man will endeavor to live and act as becomes a Christian soldier defending the dearest rights and liberties of his country.”

A new report puts the lie to what some Americans have suspected for a long time: “Party of the Rich” is a moniker best reserved for Democrats, particularly when it comes to their cozy relationship with public sector labor unions. The biggest losers in that version of “crony capitalism” – or something? Tax payers.

For the sake of rightly dividing the word, another way to pose the question could be: Does God love the reprobate?

The outlook for America’s survival is grim when we have one political party (the Democrat Party) which is overtly determined to undermine everything that makes the United States great, and an “opposing” majority political party (the Republican Party) which is either covertly in agreement with the other evil party, or is so cowardly and/or unbelievably stupid that it is completely incapable of opposing the first party even when the issue is starkly “right or wrong.”

It seems that providing “healthcare” for the poor and the downtrodden isn’t all Planned Parenthood does with your moola. According to a recently released report from the House Oversight Committee, PP has spent millions on “lavish” travel, parties, and whining (that’s not a typo) and dining celebrity guests.

On Friday, I praised Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on his decision to leave office; now, I’m going to bury him. What changed? Boehner’s announced intention to not go away, but instead to use his lame-duck period to “clean the barn.”

In the PC climate of today, any correction or allusion to truth either dies in the face of cultural trends or is construed as bashing, hatred or some new phobia. It is the new byzantine way of saying, just shut up and go away.
