This Week’s Photo Challenge: New Horizon, and Liberty

I am at the stage in my life (age 67) where New Years resolutions don't fit.  This year, I have something wonderful to look forward to for the next few years-Liberty!  With a new Republican Administration taking over in January, instead of worrying constantly about the tightening of the strait-jacket of Government constantly hemming in …

Going Hillsdale and AEI-No Social Security or Medicare for Me

I guess that makes me a risk-taker. I am currently 66 years old, my full SS retirement age, which makes me Social Security and Medicare-eligible.  A couple of years ago, I made the decision to reject both SS and Medicare. I am gainfully employed, and expect to be employed for the foreseeable future. I am …

Celebrate Independence Day

  The Declaration of Independence, along with the US Constitution, is arguably the free world's finest attestation to the values that underpin the world's most influential Republic.  Reflect on it today, and contemplate the consequences if Americans embrace tyranny right here at home.  Think about the phrase, "Consent of the Governed".  Does that still resonate …

No Social Security or Medicare for Me-Do I have the Courage of my Convictions?

Yes, I do.  This post was written a couple of years ago, and updated today in 2015.  I will be 66 in April, and I just love tossing all the junk mail telling me about everyone's very best Medicare Advantage or Medi-Gap policy.  No serious illnesses, and still at my same employer after seven years. …

The Natural Order of Things

My hero, Rush Limbaugh, likes to point out that, through much of human history, the natural order of things in our world has been tyranny and misery.  Since humans  started to live in groups, the vast majority of people have led lives that were "nasty, brutish, and short".  Until very recently, human life-expectancy has been …

Thanksgiving, 2013

http://www.twoifbytea.com/adventures/ Besides the usual things I have to be thankful for this year, you may add the above. Rush Limbaugh, my hero, has written a book for young people (first of a series), to show them the truth about the founding of America. Since the 1970's, public education in the United States has been basically …

Your Liberty is going down the drain, and if you value your Liberty, you should wake up and smell the toxic fumes emanating from Washington DC. If this ObamaCare law is not …

The lightbulb wars begin…straitjacket?

Today, for the first time, two of the retail stores I visited (Target and Lowe's), had NO incandescent light bulbs on their shelves. They did have fancy signs detailing which more-expensive light bulb varieties you will be permitted to purchase, now that your all-powerful Government in Washington, DC has determined that you, the citizen, are …
