The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees has no dues-paying members on the Moriarty, New Mexico police force, but that’s not stopping the union from demanding the city negotiate with it anyway. The city’s police officers voted in 2011 to create a collective bargaining unit affiliated with AFSCME to negotiate employment contracts on their behalf, according to the Albuquerque Journal. Two officers joined, the majority did not. Those two have since left the department. The seven officers currently employed by the city are not union members, though the union still claims to represent them.

Seriousness.” Now I have never doubted either Sarah Palin’s seriousness nor her command of not only America’s traditional values but also her ownership of the political cunning to see those values re-instituted! The know-it-alls underestimated a country boy named Abraham Lincoln. Doris Kearns Goodwin set the record straight with revelations about “The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln.” Sarah Palin had the mainstream press chasing after her for days and were she President of the United States they’d approach her with that memory firmly in their minds.

"The Hammer", more generally known as Charles Krauthammer, has indeed made his mark indelibly in my old and fading memories. His last three major opinions, the recent revelations of just how cunning and successful President Obama can be? The triumph of President Obama's "Compromise" over tax hikes and "Obama's New Start"?Then, of course, The Hammer's most recent translation of Obama Transparency. Of course, my instant "Yea" from the bleacher seats in Canada is particularly fierce in light of all the warnings I've made about the fruits of Roe v Wade. I doubt if Mr. Krauthammer would consider my observations little...

Emmy and Golden Globe winning actor Michael Moriarty recently endorsed fellow Law & Order star Fred Thompson for President of the United States. During a telephone conversation with this writer, Moriarty said: “Whoever does occupy the White House will not overturn Roe v. Wade, nor will he or she put the dictatorial Supreme Court in its place. “However, I will personally vote for Mr. Fred Thompson and help his campaign as best I can, but I don’t believe his entrance into this campaign ever carried enough pro-life commitment to do the job that has to be done. In addition, since...

A well-known actor and filmmaker is speaking out on abortion, illegal immigration, radical Islam, and the New World Order. He says Progressives are destroying America. Golden Globe, Emmy, and Tony Award winning actor, writer, and musician—as well as conservative patriot—Michael Moriarty recently announced his interest in running for President of the United States in 2008. He’s doing it to take on Hollywood’s liberal-left establishment and the Globalists. “If a Hollywood star denigrates the war on terrorism or promotes gay marriage, he or she is welcomed with open arms by the Oprah Winfreys of the world. But if he or she...

As he sold investors on an improbable plan for turning Inland Empire cow manure into electricity, W. Patrick Moriarty had an answer for everything. With a folksy delivery, the Orange County businessman promised cutting-edge technology, a respected engineering firm and tax-exempt financing to extract methane gas from mountains of manure and use it to generate enough power to light a small city. "He told me categorically that we would get our money back with interest and that the project was good as gold," said Shmuel Erde, a Beverly Hills lender. What Moriarty and his business partner, Wayne Stephens, didn't tell...

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - Auto art has been taken to a new level after an Orange County man bolted a 1974 black Lamborghini Countach to a wall inside his home. Millionaire Richard Moriarty hired a 70-ton crane to lower the Italian sports car into his mansion through a skylight in the living room. On Friday, a five-man crew hung the 1,000-pound engineless vehicle from a steel-reinforced wall with loops of half-inch-thick steel cable. Explaining the unusual placement for the car, Moriarty said, "I have a Lamborghini and I've got a big wall." The car's engine was removed and transformed into...

Having announced my intention to run for the Presidency of the United States in 2008, I'm obliged, in light of that commitment, to explain, at great length, just why I feel obliged to enter that race. The subsequent editorials, under the general heading of Metaphysical Treason, will explain in great detail, and under the general category of this title, just why I really have no alternative but to seek the title I must carry in order to help lead the United States out of the quagmire she finds herself in, the, yes, metaphysical treason that has invaded all spectrums of...

Not too long ago, a Non-Governmental Organization representative from Cameroon stood in the United Nations General Assembly and stated with naked ferocity: "Our enemy is individual freedom!" It is, at least, a frank admission and an honest challenge to Sir Winston Churchill's belief that the "common denominator in the history of the English-speaking peoples is individual freedom." Cameroon's radically Marxist NGO spokesman unwittingly gave us the formula for defeating our Marxist/Leninist enemies and their liberal, federalist sympathizers. What they're aiming to dismantle is the American Republic. All they need to do, they figure, is squeeze it into the framework of...
