Articles by Robert Owens

It's Never Too Early to be Too Late
It´s time to understand that if we don´t stand for something we´ll fall for anything and until you admit you have a problem there´s no chance of finding a solution. Are we going to stand silent as people shoot our unarmed citizens in the name of God? Will we allow apologists for evil to blame the second amendment instead of telling us the truth?
Who Changed the Change?
There is a way to change our government, amendments. Who decided we could change it just by changing it?
Without Hope You're Hopeless
Watching America change into the New Republic right before our eyes can get depressing but I refuse to lose hope because without hope you´re hopeless.
Jettison the Empire to save the Republic!
What is America's purpose? Is it to be the policeman of the world or is it to provide freedom, opportunity and security for its citizens?
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Some people work to make things better, some try to slide through life on the coattails of others and some seem to go out of their way to make things as miserable as they can but taken all together the events of our lives define our lives.
The BIG Speech
With the citizens openly rejecting President Obama's bid to nationalize health-care did his BIG speech round up enough votes to pass it anyway?
Follow the Leaders Rush, Glenn and Sarah
Don't believe the lie that says the right have no leaders and no ideas. Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are leaders who are leading people somewhere they want to go.
What's in a Number?
Numbers are thrown around carelessly today but maybe they mean more than we are led to believe.
Fool Me Once ...

Who Are The Barbarians?
America isn't being murdered it's committing suicide.
The Sotomayor Solution - Philosophically Speaking
How do you lead a nation where it doesn't want to go? Lie about your record and let the poodle press and the majority party cover your tracks.
Chicago on the Potomac
The Chicago Machine has spread its wings over Washington like a bird of prey as the Commander-O-Chief works day-by-day to change America into Omerica.
Polite Conversation
People avoid silence because they are afraid of what they might hear, but there are some things we need to listen to.
Taking the Pulse of the nation
Sitting in a cabin on the edge of a lake in the middle of the woods with the woman I love. The open windows bring a gentle breeze cooling the pleasant knotty-pine paneled room. The sounds of birds provide a sound-track to my thoughts. Governments may fall and economies may stumble but everyone ne...
A Fine Tribute
If we want to understand The O Man from Chicago and the new Omerica we need to understand the philosophy and the framework that's driving him, Saul Alinsky and the Community Organizer movement.
GOP - Golden Opportunities Prevail
Some friendly advice for the GOP stand for something before you fall for anything.
Checks and Balances
The checks and balances in our Constitution are there for a reason and they serve a purpose. Perhaps the current administration have their own reasons for using Czars to check the balances?
Never Forget
The only thing that can bring us through the darkness as night is falling and the light of liberty flickers?
Perhaps Pravda is Telling the Truth
There was a time when the Communist daily paper Pravda, which means truth in Russian, was anything but. It carried the party line of the Communist dictatorship which had enslaved the world´s largest country. Ordinary Russians huddled in basements and forests to listen to illegal short-wave radio b...
Someone Else's Problem
I want what I want but I want Someone Else to pay for it as a national policy may not work out in the long run.
Does the Sovereignty Movement Go Far Enough?
The Sovereignty Movement gives many people hope but does it go far enough?
Sliding Down a Slippery Slope
How will we know if we´ve fallen into the hands of a demagogue who´ll say anything and do anything to enact a radical agenda? Some road signs or red flags might help us to know if this ever happened.
What´s a Conservative? What´s a Liberal? What does it matter?
For the first two of these questions change the words Conservative and Liberal into Republican and Democrat and the average voter would immediately chase the cheese through the mental template the media wants us to use as a substitution for thought. However, there are Blue-Dog Democrats (Conservati...
Bankirupt Who's Bankrupt?
America bankrupt? Don't be absurd!
What Causes the Result?
That America has changed is without question. No one gets to lives in the world they were raised to live in. My father grew up in a house with a dirt floor and no running water. He plowed a field with mules just as his father did and his father and so on. My grandmother never heard of telephones...
What Comes Before a Fall?
That the slow-motion revolution non-partisan serial "bail-out" is more about government control and central-planning than about keeping the economy afloat becomes m ore apparent every day.

Payday's Coming
Rally round for the tax-day tea party!
Happy Talk
Usually my goal is to write a column that´s informative and thought-provoking. Today my goal is to write a column that´s uplifting and inspirational. If we look only at the wider-world, it´s hard not to get depressed. Recessions have a way of becoming depressing. Empires rise a...
Is Limbaugh Really the Problem?
Is Limbaugh really the problem? Or is an over-the-top Rabid Response Team led by a Chicago-bred political hatchet-man bent on silencing opposing opinions the problem?
A Bill of Goods Part 2
We can´t borrow our way to freedom for the borrower is slave to the lender. We can´t tax ourselves into prosperity with feel-good bureaucratic band-aids for current problems promising security for freedom at the cost of bankruptcy later. Ben Franklin said, "Those who would give up esse...
Now I'm Hoping the Change Will Change
Referencing the We Surround Them Meetings inspired by Glenn Beck.
A BILL OF GOODS Part 1
We stand at a fateful crossroad between what this country was meant to be and what personal greed and corporate corruption wish to make it. While we sip our lattés and watch our 500 channels the heritage of our children is swirling down the drain of history. We´ve sold our birthright for a bowl of...
