Conservatives, Liberals & Patriotism: A Retrospective Appraisal
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb

(Based on an Article by the Author in The Times Examiner October 10, 2001)
Almost twenty years ago, The Times Examiner published my article under the same title (without the “retrospective” portion). As part of my usual research, I came across this old writing and was intrigued by it. How much of what I wrote then, I wondered, had changed, and how much had stayed the same? I’m going to use my original words (emboldened in ‘black’), with any new thoughts printed in the normal shade of black). Let’s see what, if anything, has changed over those intervening years.
SALTY SEZ - Truth

GOD IS REAL And He is aware of everything and that means everything! We may wonder why He is permitting what is happening to our nation – and the world – but His word distinctly tells us that Satan is currently the ruler of this world and has authorities we probably don’t understand. How does one know this? One studies the Bible, His Word! It tells us that what is happening is going to happen and that before Christ returns things will continue to get worse – not better. That’s kinda hard to deal with isn’t it? We see things from a human point of view and often think we could run things better if we were in charge.
Democrats on Collision Course with Reality

The Political Radicalization of the American Military

Leftist ideologies typically blind their adherents to reality. Furthermore, Leftist enforcement of ideologies that contradict reality and therefore don’t work tends to force them to ruthless coercion and violence.

States' Rights Exceeds Federal Power
- Details
- By Frank Raddish - Founder/Director Capitol Hill Independent Baptist Ministries
Federal law enforcement agencies are putting under surveillance those who they believe are domestic extremists and homegrown terrorists. Unfortunately, those that are conservative Americans, gun owners, heritage supporters, Bible-believing Christians, and strict constitutionalists seem to be at the top of these lists. The Democrats' main goal is to disarm the American people so they can force their Marxist agenda upon this country without any opposition.
“Because”: A Fond Recollection

- By W.H. Lamb

Those of you who have read my articles, both in the now extinct print version of The Times Examiner (from 1999 to July of 2018), and in the new digital version (since July of 2018), know that I’m somewhat of an “eclectic” writer. I have many different interests and I enjoy writing about some of them and sharing them with you. In that regard I consider myself to be something of a “renaissance” man, one who enjoys delving into different facets of history and the human experience, into mankind’s political and social foibles and noble accomplishments, into the artistic and cultural achievements of my fellow human beings who, during their sometimes far-too-brief pilgrimage through life, brought beauty, joy, great art and music, great literature, and various forms of cultural enrichment to us, their fellow pilgrims, all of which have instilled tears of joy and happiness and even pathos into our lives as we beheld their artistries and their struggled-for accomplishments.
SALTY Sez – What’s It Called?

I live four or five miles from a gun store. Every time I drive by it all the parking space is filled up. Gun and ammunition sales are going crazy. And of course everyone knows the Democratic Party, and some Republicans, are working as hard as they can to rid us of our Constitutional Right to bear arms. They are playing the same game Hitler and Stalin and others like them played; first you must register the guns (learn who has them) then you take them away. All the studies I’ve heard about show that taking guns from the common people increases gun use by the criminals who rob and kill the defendless common people.
China Must Come Clean on COVID
- Details
- By Betsy McCaughey
If a plane goes down, there has to be an investigation. Otherwise, no one would feel safe flying again. But a virus from China has killed 540,000 people in our country so far -- equal to two thousand jumbo jet crashes -- and the Biden administration is doing nothing to get to the bottom of it.
Scientists worldwide are divided over whether the virus jumped naturally from the animal world to humans, or whether the virus accidentally leaked from a lab such as the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where biowarfare research is conducted.
