In Defense of the Second Amendment

Rich Bryant | August 25, 2010

The Second Amendment to the US Constitution is the amendment that affords Americans with the right of gun ownership. It reads as follows:

“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

I have been Remiss

Rich Bryant | April 17, 2010

I actually started this blog for purposes of contributing political commentary about the news of the day, yet I find that in recent months I’ve been more heavily tilted towards posting thoughts on my exercise and fitness program. I can’t seem to shake the thought in the back of my head that if I make myself more healthy then I actually have the ultimate “health care program”, so why should I be so concerned with the one being foisted on the nation by our inept leadership in Washington?

What Future are Obama and the Democrats Crafting for America?

Rich Bryant | November 10, 2009

Lately I’ve been wondering what type of future the current leadership in Washington is creating for us, so I thought I would publish this little poll to allow visitors to vote for what well-known Hollywood movie best portrays that future.

How America (Successfully) Dealt with Terrorists in Former Times

Rich Bryant | February 16, 2009

In the context of a post 9/11 world in which terrorists distribute videos of the beheadings of their innocent victims it becomes quite apparent that the modern term ‘terrorist’ could easily have been ascribed to the Comanches of the 1800’s as well.

A Question for America’s Creditors

Rich Bryant | February 15, 2009

When they return from their hedonistic jaunts to Italy and elsewhere, America’s “leaders” will return to gorge themselves on a self-awarded banquet of funding which they have just awarded themselves with the stroke of their mighty pens.
