By KENNETH BELVIN
This past Sunday, my family and I went to church for my younger brother and sister’s confirmation. It signified the fourth of the Holy Sacraments, validating a short lifetime of religious instruction. As an adult I find myself skeptical, somewhere between atheism and agnosticism. However, the joy of coming together with family to celebrate a milestone was special, even if …

Castle Theory
By JOE SIXPACK
We here at StoptheSocialism.us believe in a proprietary theory which we call Castle Theory. It serves to explain how The United States of America and Europe, while sharing a common origin, have evolved into two very distinct entities, in terms of risk-taking and security.

By LARRY M. ELKIN, CPA, CFP®
It makes little sense sense to be grossed out at discovering that a prominent New York politician is a two-faced, self-aggrandizing hypocrite, just as there is no point in being grossed out at vultures for eating rotting roadkill.
