"Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Uncouth: President of the United States of America snubbing the death of one of Great Britain's most notable Prime Ministers.

And that deplorable behavior by Barack Obama, the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize recipient no less, towards Margaret Thatcher - a friend of America - is our national embarrassment. Shameful.

So fitting will be our British friends (and many Americans) doing a reel, dancing a jig, when Mr. Obama expires - end of second term or for good, whichever comes first.

Keep Calm and Carry On.

COMMENTARY

FREEDOM of SPEECH ... The pen is mightier than the sword.

Welcome - Thanks for tuning in!

The line between serious and satire is skinny. Considering the big picture, take whatever written with a grain of salt; the serious I leave to others.

Civility / Truth / Stories / History / Straight talk / Analysis & Opinion / Humor / Satire / Witty Repartee / Entertainment

Comments welcome! Civility required--acerbic personal remarks and profanity not acceptable. Disagree? Then an intelligent counterpoint, on topic, not under the shell of anonymity required. Submissions in breach of good order will not be posted. There are no second chances. Violate forum rules of decency and you will be forever blocked. Thank you.

A Colonel of Truth - Mission: Truth!

Simple as that. History, current events, facts, experience, observations, objectivity, and logic serve as foundation with aim to publish thought-provoking truth for public consumption - education and entertainment.

Started in 2008 at the urging of friends but only as a six-months trial to determine public interest, A Colonel of Truth has run since without interruption only because of readers like you. And only for remarkable growth in readership - worldwide - is it we continue.

To date, our site ad and pop-up free. But with growing readership - that is, site traffic - comes all sorts of outfits inquiring about ad space. Capitalism is a wondrous thing and that revenue stream tempting because, after all, nothing is free and there is hidden costs in this commentary business.

Through the years, generous readers have asked about donating to support the cause. Politely, we declined. And to date we've dismissed the idea of restricting site access to a membership structure. But it's a different day.

Considering recent requests to donate and weighing those pesky and draining hidden costs of publishing, we recently decided contributions, of any amount, welcome and appreciated - to keep the site in the open (not restricted to membership) while ensuring an uninterrupted quality reading experience.

Randomly, we will thank a donor with a piece of artwork.

We thank you kindly for visiting, reading, and most of all for supporting Freedom of Speech!
