I am a first-generation immigrant who married an American. I live in the greater Miami area. This part of the country is very Latin. You can find the largest populations of Cubans, Venezuelans, Argentinians, Colombians, and Brazilians in the United States, in addition to many more. And the unwritten secret is – if you come from Latin […]

I grew up in India. During my childhood, it was still a protectionist country. It was poor then; more so than it is now – if that’s even possible. My grandfather owned a Fiat. It looked like a car from the 1940s. We had an Indian Car company – Ambassador – which made little replicas of […]

Inspired by Joan Greenhouse’s post on Red State Separation So, I was reading 100 or so comments on why Red States don’t just take our toys and go home… (unfair, I know). Call me an optimist but I think there are some things just worth staying and fighting for, and liberty is one of them (really- […]

Some of you may know that my daughter just started College, as a freshman. No names, or college names or she’ll kill me. As most conservatives, I was worried about the liberal academia. Don’t get me wrong – my daughter is a strong willed person and have a very realistic expectation of the government’s role in […]

So, a friend of mine posted the video of the disastrous “two thirds” vote during the DNC to change the platform to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital. Some comments ensued expressing sadness and mild ridicule. So, one (from what I can tell by the name) oriental gentle man posts something to the effect: “Republicans don’t support Palestine”. I promptly […]

Barack Obama Sr. was born under British Rule. The British employed a strategy that breaks up existing power structures and prevents smaller power groups from linking up – divide and rule – in order to subdue their colonies. In India, they took existing differences and exploited them to the point that many believe may be the […]

I had this argument with a Democrat female friend of mine in 2007. She was afraid that voting Republican would overturn abortion laws. I pointed out to her that we had just lived through eight years of a very socially conservative president and the abortion laws were intact. I also asked her if that is a big […]

I am hearing more and more momentum to legalize gay marriage. Some Christians and Muslims even support it. The President has evolved and embraced it. If we are going to redefine marriage, why stop at gay marriage? Why not legalize polyandry? One of the major justification of the traditional marriage is child rearing. However, with the advent […]

I friend of mine posted this link of Nigel Farage on Facebook today. I had to share. “In an epic rant, trumping Biderman, UKIP’s Nigel Farage appears to have reached the limit of his frustration with his ‘peers’ in the European Parliament after the Spanish bailout.” Preview Open
