Dagney's Rant
This is where I will put my upsets, resentments, reasonings and logical commentary on why liberalism is a threat to the United States of America! Dagny Taggart is a character from Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged", but she was also my teacher.

Media Lies Exposed

The newspapers who are laying off personnel may want to look at what their competitors are doing.  I would term it a simple, telling the truth;

"Whopper No. 3: Success in Iraq is an illusion - the surge failed. Folks, this is something only a New York Times columnist could believe.

Every single significant indicator, from Iraqi government progress
through the performance of Iraqi security forces to the plummeting
level of violence, has changed for the better - remarkably so.

My Own Little Miracle

I returned from the Holy Land, Israel, today.  My head is stuffed full of so many sights, sounds, insights, and emotions I cannot possibly put it all into this one post, especially with the onset of jet-lag.  Instead, I must relate my own little personal miracle experienced in Israel.  I always wear a Soldier's Angel pin...wherever I am, or whatever I am doing.  The trademark insignia of Soldiers Angels is so striking that folks often ask me what it signifies.  It presents me the opportunity to invite folks to do what they can to help our beloved ...<< MORE >>

Good thing there's no energy crisis!

This is good news right after receiving our 2X energy bill...

"Faced with a surge in the number of proposed solar power plants, the federal government has placed a moratorium on new SOLAR projects on public land until it studies their environmental impact, which is expected to take about two years."


Yes, you read that right. Solar. Next up, the federal government will place a moratorium on the sun itself.

Alvaro Uribe: My President. Part I

In her autobiography/homage to a president, "What I Saw at the Revolution," Peggy Noonan wrote what compelled her to move to Washington DC and become a speech writer: "Every generation gets a president. My grandmother's was FDR; for my parents it was JFK; for me and for the young people I worked with in the White House, it was Reagan. We came to Washington because of him. He moved us. We loved him." Well, I didn't grow up in the United States, and I was too young to remember Reagan anyway, so I can't claim him as "my president." However, my home country of Colombia has a man right now who fits that historic role for me and my generation. His name is Alvaro Uribe-Velez.<< MORE >>

Off To Israel, Introducing A New Contributor!

As I leave for a two week trip to the land that our Creator gave to the Hebrews, the land on which His Son Jesus walked and died for our sins, I am leaving Dagney's Rant in capable hands, as you will soon learn.  I met my friend Carolina at a Saturday Morning in America meeting, and we became close thanks to my Colombian hero "son", about whom I've written often in this venue.  Carolina is from Colombia, and came to America with her husband, who is an American.  She is a robotics engineer, a staunch conservative, and a ...<< MORE >>

Operation Puppy Love

As a Soldier's Angel, I've been collecting stuffed toys to send to our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan for over a year. With the help of my church, my Curves clubs, and several friends in cooperation with Pennys From Heaven Foundation, we have sent hundreds of toys for our soldiers to give out to children in Iraq. << MORE >>

Who Is To Blame For Gas Prices?

If the "war for oil" charges made by the Kode Pinkos were true, why have our gas prices doubled since the beginning of the year?  Didn't the Democrats tell us they would "fix" the sky-rocketing oil & gas prices if we put them in the majority back in 2006?  Yet it has doubled since they took over?  Wherever you look, it boils down to one factor; Congress and the environmental moonbats!  "No, you cannot drill in Anwar, might hurt the caribou." (Despite the fact that caribou herds have grown since the oil pipeline went in throughout Alaska) ...<< MORE >>
