THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX By: Dr. Charles Ormsby – Jan. 2016 On Tuesday, February 9th, New Hampshire will hold its presidential primary election to determine the New Hampshire delegates to the Republican National Convention. Massachusetts holds its primary on March 1st (Super Tuesday) along with eleven other states. So, Republican voters in New Hampshire and […]
By: Dr. Charles Ormsby – March, 2015 When battle lines are drawn on matters that impact individual liberty, it is important that those who seek to defend liberty stand up and declare their allegiance. There has been a shocking resurgence of anti-Semitism (the prejudice/hatred of Jews as a national, ethnic, religious or racial group) over […]
By: Dr. Charles Ormsby – February, 2015 First and foremost, I hate innocent people being murdered. Hopefully, even most Progressives will join me on that. Oh, I forget … they prefer to banish hate speech. So, I guess they don’t hate innocent people being murdered … or they do hate the murder of innocents, but […]
By: Dr. Charles Ormsby – October, 2014 In our September issue, Michael Veves of Haverhill weighed in with a critique of my August article, entitled “Can You Resist the Devil’s Brew.” I typically let such attacks pass and permit the readers of The Valley Patriot to make their own assessments of the veracity […]
By: Dr. Charles Ormsby – August, 2014 The theory of evolution suggests that species change in ways that increase their ability to thrive. Biological evolution is generally a slow process but can exhibit rapid transformations if a mutant specie emerges which has substantial survival advantages. Human societies based on different principles also have different degrees […]
THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX By: Dr. Charles Ormsby – July, 2014 I’m no fan of our President. I’m sure that is clear to anyone who has been reading my articles since his election in 2008. Despite my disagreement with Obama on nearly every issue, I have tried to present a reasoned opposition and avoid excessively […]
By: Dr. Charles Ormsby – April, 2014 We all know the discomfort we feel when we watch someone put his incompetence on public display for all to see. And so it is as we watch the terrible events in Ukraine evolve. Putin just keeps slapping Obama upside the head and then openly ridiculing him. Kerry’s […]
By Dr. Charles Ormsby – March, 2014 A little over ten years ago, Tom Duggan, his girlfriend, Ralph Wilbur and I started a newspaper called the Valley Government Gazette. We applied for and (using some inside contacts) received a $500 million federal grant to start this much needed publication. Having received the mulla (that’s […]
By: Dr. Charles Ormsby – February, 2014 Fifty years ago this month, in 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared an all-out War on Poverty. He vowed “to not only relieve the symptoms of poverty, but to cure it and, above all, to prevent it.” To date we’ve spent over $20 trillion on this boondoggle, […]
By: Dr. Charles Ormsby – January, 2014 It is sad that President Obama did not see fit recently to travel a mere seventy miles from the White House to Gettysburg to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s famous speech in honor of those who fought and died to end slavery and preserve the union. With […]
I don’t understand all this complaining about ObamaCare by America’s conservatives. The fact of the matter is that ObamaCare, and what we have seen so far about its enrollment Web site, should be praised by conservatives. Since I first joined the ranks of conservatives I have constantly heard complaints that America’s youth lack perseverance, and […]
By: Dr. Charles Ormsby – October 2013 A student recently stopped by my office and opined that the destruction caused by war has positive economic consequences because of the demand generated to rectify the resulting damages. He claimed that post World War II Europe proved his point. My student’s misguided belief is an example of […]
“Should President Obama decide to order a military strike against Syria, his main order of business must be to kill Bashar Assad. Also, Bashar’s brother and principal henchman, Maher. Also, everyone else in the Assad family with a claim on political power. Also, all of the political symbols of the Assad family’s power, including all […]
THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX By: Dr. Chuck Ormsby – July 2013 Detroit has imploded. Like the giant oak whose innards were consumed by thousands of termites, Detroit has finally collapsed. Its productive core can no longer support its own weight. The Democrat Party and its allies in big-government unions should be congratulated. Their criminal thievery, […]
THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX WITH DR. CHUCK By: Dr. Charles Ormsby – July 2013 “So you think that money is the root of all evil? . . . Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can’t exist unless there are goods produced and men […]
