By Robert Ringer Both Hitler’s infamous Gestapo and Mussolini’s OVRA (Organization for Vigilance and Repression of Anti-Fascism) were secret-police organizations that had as their aim the control and prevention of political dissent. Though Heinrich Himmler modeled his Gestapo force after OVRA, it became much more violent than its Italian counterpart. A [...]
By Robert Ringer If you watch Glenn Beck regularly, you probably find yourself shaking your head in amazement and wondering why a vast majority of Americans aren’t demanding that the president, most of his cabinet, all of his czars, and a significant percentage of House and Senate members be criminally investigated. [...]
By Robert Ringer After all these years, I’m throwing in the towel and complimenting Greta. When it comes to actions that I believe to be unconscionable, I’m not one who easily forgets. I didn’t mind Greta being a philosophical liberal — that’s her right. But her nightly defenses of the 21st [...]
By Robert Ringer As I expected would be the case, my interview with David Horowitz yesterday was fascinating. As many of you undoubtedly know, Horowitz, like Thomas Sowell, is one of the lucky ones who had the intellect to figure out the sham of communism and evolve into a committed conservative. [...]
By Robert Ringer As I watch the White House and its henchmen — the Pelosi-Reid-Frank-Schumer crowd, ACORN, SEIU, youth pawns, and miscellaneous thugs and goons (loons?) — engage in childish name calling in an effort to discredit anyone who disagrees with Obama’s vision of two Americas (political-elite class and taxpaying serfs), [...]
Amidst all the insanity and meaningless chatter that overwhelms us each day, every so often the Conscious Universal Power Source cuts us a break and hooks us up to nature’s Sanity-Support System. We have little control over when the blessed intervention will take place, how often it will occur, or what [...]
By Robert Ringer In Erich Fromm’s 1956 classic The Art of Loving, he provides some unique insights into the subject of faith that have given me a lot to think about. Fromm did not believe faith is in opposition to reason or rational thinking. On the contrary, he simply made a [...]
By Robert Ringer I’ve often been asked if I think Mike Huckabee will run for president in 2012 and, if so, do I believe he can win the Republican nomination — and the presidency. These are three interesting questions, and, until recently, my answers were (1) I’m not sure, (2) no, [...]
By Robert Ringer Well, here’s one for the books: Dr. David L. Scheiner, who was BHO’s general physician for twenty-two years, is more extreme on the issue of healthcare than Obama himself! I’m not kidding. Scheiner believes that Obama’s healthcare plan doesn’t go far enough. The good doctor says we that [...]
By Robert Ringer What a horrific tragedy last Saturday when a small plane crashed into a helicopter and nine people plunged to their death in the Hudson River — the same river, ironically, where 155 people walked away unscathed from the crash landing of a US Airways commercial jet less than [...]
By Robert Ringer Now that citizens who show up at town-hall meetings officially have been labeled “angry mobs” by their employees (i.e., the people they elect to represent them), Saul Alinsky (“the founder of community organizing in America”) must be smiling from below. An individual’s voice of dissent is no longer [...]
By Robert Ringer I’ve always thought that Frank Luntz seemed like a nice young man with an interesting shtick — measuring people’s reactions to words via some kind of electronic gizmo he puts in their hands. I have no idea how valid his measurements are, but it’s worked well enough to [...]
By Robert Ringer The bloggers (and media) are still saturating the planet with stories of Sarah Palin’s stupidity. So much so that she should start demanding royalties. So, are they right? Is Sarah Palin just plain stupid? Or is she smart but ignorant (uninformed)? Here’s an interesting question: If Sarah Palin [...]
By Robert Ringer Obama’s “Beer Summit” was yet another stupid distraction from the reality that his czars, thugocrats, and progressive supporters in Congress are moving quickly to shove us into the socialist cage and slam the door shut before another election can take place. Thankfully, most people didn’t buy into this [...]
