Political Brambles

The Liberal Media Con ... Liars All

2012-02-01T22:32:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE "Electability" — just liberal spin to get the candidate that they know they can beat. Pretending that Michele Bachmann is going to endorse Mitt Romney HERE and all sorts of empty speculation about the various candidates that puts them in a bad light, are all liberal media spin focused on wounding Republican candidates or promoting those they think will lose in the general election. The Republicans would do well to consider the media bias when they are considering their candidates. Anyone the media shows an apparent enthusiasm for is likely a weak candidate. They are all liars. Ann Coulter blew my mind again today by coming out for Romney-care. I have to take down my Ann Coulter pinups (well I don't have any, but if I did I'd take them down.)

Plastic Man in Five Easy Pieces

2012-02-01T11:43:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE Breaking News: Mitt Romney is an advanced 21st century clone of bizarro world's plastic man. "A remarkable simulacrum of a real person," said one scientist who requested that his name not be used since he's waiting for a NSF grant to further explore cloning miniature frogs which will be able to leap tall buildings with a single bound. "Mitt Romney's only problem is that they have not yet generated sufficient sincerity in the speech generator to convince people that he's telling the truth or that he really believes anything." One scientist suggested that after they spend a few more millions demonizing his opponents and tweaking his synthesizers he may sound "... remarkably sincere." Unfortunately they've yet to be able to make his actions correspond with his speech. "It's a defect we're working on," said one engineer.

Romney Wins Florida by Going 15 Million Dollars Negative

2012-02-01T08:32:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE Red State points out that Romney doesn't have the base and that if the base could unify on an alternative candidate Romney would have lost. The problem is that he didn't lose even though he's a loser.

He's a loser because he's not really a conservative. He's a loser because he campaigned by systematically lying. He's a loser because he's not a real alternative to Obama, just Obama-lite. If the nation is truly at risk, as I and many others believe, then Obama-lite is not going to turn it around.

One problem is that we are a nation where almost 50% have been brainwashed that their plight is the fault of the very rich when in fact their plight is the fault of rapacious government. But almost 50% pay no income tax and many of the other taxes that they do pay are cleverly disguised as valid costs. They do receive "benefits" which in many cases make them net on the dole. These voters see no problem with continuing the game and don't understand that when the game is over the benefits will be gone and so will their freedoms. One can imagine however just how implausible that must have sounded not only in 21st century America but equally so in fifth century Rome or in Russia or France just before their revolutions. A study of history shows that collapse often comes just as things were starting to look a little better. Be alert! As the song goes: "The times, they are a'changing!"

The Nation Is Already Lost — Can It Be Recovered?

2012-01-31T19:58:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE Think about the implications of what Judge Napolitano says here. The very fact that these things can be done and have been done means that we are currently digging out from a very bad place assuming that we can. This is frankly scary stuff. We either take the country back from the forces of darkness and begin to turn things around or it's downhill from here.

You're Being Gamed In Florida

2012-01-31T14:24:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE Thomas Sowell calls it as he sees it and it isn't pretty. The Republican establishment wants Romney because their previous candidates Bob Dole and John McCain did so well. The grassroots has had it, but they are not getting the message. I suppose that means we have to take them out, one RINO at a time. Meanwhile the country goes down the tubes with Thing1 or Thing2, Obama, or Obama-lite. Ask George Soros. He's been reassuring the Europeans that Romney is just like Obama. Wow! Really? I knew that, but apparently the Floridians don't yet, or hopefully they're tired of being gamed and will come out and bury Romney.

Let the Games Begin

2012-01-31T12:19:00.000-05:00

Bread and circuses is the way historians often sum up how ancient Rome subdued the citizens. As the citizens of Rome paid more and more attention to their version of reality shows the Empire went downhill. We are on almost exactly the same path and it always goes to the same place.

Romney A Republican? Not Hardly ...

2012-01-30T20:26:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE The Los Angeles Times reported that after Romney entered the '94 Senate race, his wife Ann said: “We didn’t know a single Republican when we jumped in.” — Read the rest and ask yourself if this sounds like any kind of a real Republican. This guy is as phony as a three dollar bill.

Evil Is Alive and Well In the World and In the Courts

2012-01-30T16:13:00.003-05:00

SEE HERE Welcome to the mentality of the left that sees killing as therapeutic. They will be coming for you soon enough. Get rid of the liberal mindset that actually hatches this kind of immoral evil.

The Future of Education? — The Internet Is Changing Everything!

2012-01-30T13:10:00.002-05:00

SEE HERE This and much much more is changing the landscape of education. Where it will all end up is anyone's guess, but it looks like educational opportunity may open up to anyone with a will to succeed and get the instruction they need.

Is the Republican Establishment Going After Allen West?

2012-01-30T11:48:00.003-05:00

SEE HERE I don't know anything about Florida politics but I do know a little about redistricting games since I seen them played by both sides in a number of states where I've lived. This certainly looks like an intentional marginalization of a very popular and very Conservative and outspoken Congressman who has been developing a national audience. The RINOs are always at it. They can't let those uppity Conservatives get too far off the leash or they might actually start exercising some power. Horrors!!

Facebook Group Wants to Protest the Primary Choice

2012-01-29T22:00:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE The name of the group is VIRGINIA vs GOP! Vote Paul Today; Vote Newt in NOV! I joined and that's exactly what I hope to do. I'm really really tired of a bunch of RINO Republican hacks dictating to the rank and file grassroots who we can vote for. The always seem to serve up Demoncrat-lite losers and they usually lose too. We need to fix the system because it is clearly broken.

George Soros Counsels Europeans Not to Worry Since There Is Little Difference Between Obama and Romney

2012-01-29T21:36:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE Well now this is a hoot! I can't imagine Republican voters being impressed by a George Soros recommendation like this. We should probably make sure everyone gets a gander of it. If there's not much difference between Romney and Obama why bother to get out of bed on election day?

The Agenda to Restore America to Sanity

2012-01-29T20:30:00.002-05:00

Our problems are not the people but the special interests system. Newt Gingrich articulates the goals for his administration. Listen and see if it doesn't resonate with every American.

Speaking Truth to Spin

2012-01-29T20:23:00.002-05:00

SEE HERE Telling the truth about Newt Gingrich. The amount of outright distortion and lying is discouraging in our national politics. It is a measure of the decline in honor and ethics generally that politicians so often resort to outright lying. The media is full of disinformation and spin and facts are at a premium. You can almost assume without knowing that anything negative is distorted and likely a lie. But then often enough things that sound positive have also been distorted. It seriously complicates the search for honorable men. There are way too few of them. MORE

Cain Offers Nine Positives for Endorsing Gingrich

2012-01-29T19:27:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE I'm supporting Gingrich. I was supporting Cain. I want conservative innovative solutions to turn back the socialism tide. If we don't turn it back we will be overwhelmed and the nation will likely not recover. That's just the way I see it. Maybe that's too negative, but I'm personally very optimistic and cheerful as a rule as people who know me can attest. It's troubling to me to see the nation on a track that seems so detrimental and unrecoverable. If you dive off a cliff and splatter on the rocks you don't get to try it again. The cliff seems to me to be very near.

Likely to Get Colder Before It Gets Warmer — A Lot Colder!

2012-01-29T14:53:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE We need more CO2 if it really has much impact on global temperatures because the data suggests that it is going to get colder for a few more decades than warmer. All the recent climate alarmism about warming hasn't stood up even for a few years. It's the sun and water vapor not CO2 that are the dominant factors.

Call the Media On Their Lies

2012-01-29T14:47:00.002-05:00

"Tell the Truth 2012" it's time we called the Liberal Media on their endless lies. The politics of personal destruction has to end. Talk about issues, real issues and stop just calling names and telling lies. Tell the truth. Be fair, honest, and honorable. Expose the liars and their left progressive biases. We're coming after you!

Allen West Throws the Gaunlet Down — Bring It On!

2012-01-29T14:43:00.002-05:00

Vote Ron Paul In the Virginia Primary

2012-01-29T13:06:00.002-05:00

SEE HERE The Virginia Primary is an ideal laboratory case to show how deeply disaffected the grassroots are with the GOP establishment. Vote Ron Paul and send them a message that we don't want to be gamed and we are tired of the long list of RINOs that the GOP establishment keeps putting up. It's enough to give credibility to the thought that the whole thing is just a charade.

If We Don't Change the Game Plan We Won't Save the Country

2012-01-29T12:51:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE Sarah Palin speaks out plainly against the Republican establishment which is trying to nuck Newt Gingrich so that we can have another Demoncrat-lite as a candidate. We've been Bob Dole'd, John McCain'd, and in the past we've been Gerald Ford'ed and it's always turned out badly. Let's ignore the RINOs and fight like hell for a change of Game Plan.

Speaking of Truth to Spin ... Newt's the Most Conservative Candidate In the Current Republican Field

2012-01-28T19:58:00.003-05:00

SEE HERE I am outraged frankly by the lying and deceit of the Republican establishment who owe a lot to Newt Gingrich just for their existence. Newt Gingrich is the most Conservative candidate in the current Republican field, period. His long march to create a Republican majority, his support for Jack Kemp and later president Ronald Reagan was outstanding. Where were the rest of this crowd then? No-where to be found frankly. I join the grassroots Republicans who really have memories in supporting Newt Gingrich who is the only person that would actually do something significant if he were elected president. Can he beat Obama? Why do you think all the guns are directed his way from both the left and the Republican RINO establishment? They're afraid he can and I think he will!

Speaking Truth to Spin

2012-01-28T18:58:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE In case you want to confront the global warming alarmist (isn't it amazing that they persist when all the real facts are against them) here's another arrow in your quiver. I've personally never seen something called "science" that is so dependent on computer models which are fudged to get the results they want. The global warming alarmists are on a political mission not a scientific one.

Mark Levin Points Out the RINOs Are Lying About Gingrich

2012-01-27T21:58:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE Should anyone be surprised that the RINOs Christie and Romney are lying about Gingrich? Hello, that's what RINOs do and the establishment in the Republican party are mostly RINOs because their only interest, just like the Demoncrats is power. Their strategy is and continues to be offer Democrat-lite and force the true Conservative grass roots to vote for a slower mounting of exactly the same big government nanny state strategy. Might as well not bother. We need real conservatives not this stupid nonsense that goes to the same place that Obama is driving us.

Trouble From the Left — We Need to Prepare

Obama Eligibility Case: Georgia

2012-01-27T16:54:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE We shall see if the court has any guts. The evidence seems overwhelming and compelling that Obama is not eligible and that there is also sufficient doubt about his birth in Hawaii to open a full investigation. We'll see, however, if anyone has the guts to do it. Whichever way it goes will be interesting.
The question will all come down to whether anyone has the guts to say the emperor has no clothes.

Reality 101

2012-01-27T16:14:00.002-05:00

SEE HERE When 300,000 to 400,000 people converge on Washington to protest the outright murder of millions of citizens and the news media pays no attention then you know that the society is doomed. How long do we have? It's hard to tell but I'd guess that our judgment will be upon us within the present generation. The signs are there to be read. Let he who has eyes see and he who has ears hear the judgment that approaches.

Romney? No Way!

2012-01-27T14:48:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE Romney is a disaster. He will strike out entirely with the grass roots who will see little difference between him and Obama and that will ensure that Obama wins. Romney cannot be allowed to win the Republican nomination because he's essentially a man without principles just like Obama. If he had principles he couldn't take the positions that he has.

Beyond Amused ... Hilariously Funny!

2012-01-27T11:46:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE The idea that the in your face, snotty, vitriolic, abusive, snide, and vulgar news media thinks that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer was rude to their buddy Obama. Apparently they haven't been reading much of their own news about how the administration has been treating Arizona. Give me a break. And there's more ... Civility is in decline they moan. Perhaps before criticizing others they should put their own house in order. If they ever read scripture they'd possibly know the story about taking the beam out of your own eye before remonstrating your brother about the splinter in his eye. HERE IS THE LETTER

It goes on and on ... so the examples are endless. If you want more civility it's time to get rid of the liberals whose only talking point is how stupid you are and how wise they are. Don't ask for examples, that would be rude. MORE ON PRESIDENTIAL SNIT FITS

Notice the Pattern! — Is It Corruption or Stupidity?

2012-01-27T11:15:00.002-05:00

SEE HERE This administration has a pattern of behavior that smells to high heavens of corruption. Maybe it's just incredibly poor judgment, but given the amounts of money involved generally and the cozy correlation with political contributions, I'm leaning towards corruption.

Children as Pawns in the Hands of Teachers

2012-01-26T18:50:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE Actually this is very old news. The teacher's unions have been playing these kind of games for generations. The classroom has become a propaganda indoctrination center for left of center progressive brainwashing. Nothing new here, but the parents seem to ignore it so most students only recover when they are in their forties and the hard lessons of life are finally sinking in. By then it is largely too late.

Tea Party Druthers ...

2012-01-26T18:32:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE Since I think the Tea Party represents those who seek to return the country to the vision of the founders this is a set of information that gives a lot of insight into how the candidates are viewed. Newt Gingrich is decidedly the most strongly supported by a wide margin. Since it was the Tea Party that gave the Republicans their current majority in the House of Representatives they can be ignored only at the peril of the party. The Tea Party is the grass roots and without the grass roots the Republicans will lose in November.

Every Child Left Behind — A National Disgrace

2012-01-26T12:32:00.003-05:00

The solution to poor schooling is to get the government out of the way and give the responsibility back to the parents where it belongs in the first place. The public schools are an abysmal failure. Empowerment begins in the home!

Creating Non-Persons with the Stroke of a Pen

2012-01-26T12:26:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE The United States is a divided nation. It is divided along many lines, but among the most fundamental is the line that enshrines the temple of pleasure and self-interest above the true and the good. It was not always so, and it is to be hoped that it will come to not be so again. But for now the long shadow of shame darkens the land and we stand under judgment for having failed our children.

Getting Serious ... or NOT!

2012-01-26T11:41:00.002-05:00

SEE HERE The current staggering sequence of circular firing squads called the Republican debates are a surefire way to ensure that whatever candidate is finally nominated they are so laden with vitriol and manufactured slime that they will barely be standing and the NIC will roll them over since he has the complicit media fawning all over him all the time. Thomas Sowell points out the obvious here, but when is our politics going to get serious about real issues of freedom. Oddly enough Ron Paul ends up looking like a statesman compared to everyone else because he has largely avoided the politics of personal destruction, since after all he's likely been on the receiving end of more of it than most of the candidates. It's time to get serious and start talking about principles and issues and the abysmal record of the president.

Let's Stop the Lying: Newt Gingrich Was Not Fined and There Was No Ethics Violation

2012-01-25T20:45:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE I actually have a copy of the course that Newt Gingrich did. It was a great course and it wasn't political at all. It was about things like free enterprise and economics and history. It was very informative and helpful. Newt was attacked by the usual cast of liars the Demoncrats who managed to make a scene but never managed to make a case. Set the record straight. Mitt Romney in accusing Newt is playing like the usual Demoncrat (is that a surprise ... his policies in Massachusetts were pretty much Demoncrat). There was a good article on Godfather Politics that challenged the candidates to take a stand on real issue instead of engaging in a circular firing squad. What a concept! SEE HERE

The Insanity In The Schools Is Simply Beyond Belief

2012-01-25T19:06:00.001-05:00

Are there any neurons actually firing in the minds of these incredibly stupid people that are in our public schools? The real solution is to shut down the public schools entirely. Any school system created and funded by parents directly would be far far better and the students might actually start learning something besides the propaganda they are exposed to by the public indoctrination centers.

This kind of thing is not only an outrage it is horrendously, over the top, stupid. Who are the people that put these policies in place? I think we should go back to having rifle teams in all the schools. My girlfriend and my sister were on rifle teams in public highschool. Instead of demonizing firearms we should be teaching firearm safety and familiarization. Responsible citizens are not unarmed citizens. Do you want to support tyranny, then just keep demonizing firearms so that when the tyrants rise up there will be no one to defend you.

2012-01-25T18:51:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE How long does it take before people get the message that it is the government crushing the economy not the alleged greedy rich that actually earned what they have. Government is in the business of crushing innovation through regulation and manipulation, high taxes and subsidies to pet projects to fund their cronies. It's time for a change.

Common Sense from Thomas Sowell

2012-01-25T18:41:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE A little good advice on ignoring the ignorant. We are surrounded by people who have not idea at all how economics works. We are always being overwhelmend with people who operate on "zero-sum-game" theory which has nothing to do with reality, as if somehow wealth is piled up somewhere and when the wealthy have theirs there is less for the rest of us. That's not true. Wealth is produced in quantities proportional to the efforts of people who produce it in all its myriad forms. If the zero-sum-game thinking were true we'd all have become destitute long ago probably around the time of the cave men. It's just nonsense, but it sounds plausible to those know-nothings that have never bothered to think about it. "Ignore the Wookie!" is what we say at our house when someone says something too stupid to react to.

The BS About the Pipeline Thing ... In Case You Wondered?

2012-01-25T16:51:00.001-05:00

State of the Union: Lame Excuses

2012-01-25T07:27:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE The Democrats are not leading. The idea that the problem is that the rich are too rich doesn't get to the core of the problem. The core of the problem is lack of real leadership and the crazy idea that all solutions originate in Washington and require your money take a round trip there until some small fraction returns to rest in your pocket while the rest enriches a growing army of bureaucrats. Lame and epic fail!

"President Obama's class warfare, his commitment to raising taxes, increasing regulation and his failed ideology make his vision for America one of the most radical in our history. The vision he describes is for fundamentally changing our country." — Newt Gingrich

“Actions speak louder than words and unfortunately the President’s rhetoric is not matched by the actions of his Administration over the past three years in dramatically increasing government spending, government regulations and the size of the federal bureaucracy.
 
Quite simply we cannot tax and spend our way out of this crisis and yet it is more of these same failed policies that President Obama laid out tonight.
 
In stark contrast to President Obama’s agenda, House Republicans remain committed to pro-growth policies such as reining in our skyrocketing deficit spending which discourages investment, limiting the size of government by reducing costly and burdensome regulations which are hurting our small businesses, removing unnecessary barriers to domestic energy production which would provide us with significant access to new energy supplies with the twin goals of energy independence and the creation of millions of American jobs, and enacting meaningful tax reform which would help to generate economic expansion.” — Bob Goodlatte  R-Congressman 6th district of Virginia

Of Course It's the Sun Stupid!

2012-01-24T15:35:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE The IPCC discounting of the sun as a major climate driver is just stupid, and it is obviously stupid. You have to wonder how ordinary people with any common sense sign up for this stuff. I supposed it's a sign that scientists have some credibility, although if they keep saying and proposing stupid things they won't for long. The sun has to be the single most important contribution to climate because it is the primary driver. We'd all be dead in short order were the sun to decide to go out. The interaction of the sun with the earth operates on quite a few levels ranging from the specific energy output to the effects of the solar wind on the earth's magnetosphere and hence interactions with incoming high energy charged particles. There are always those who imagine they fully understand the systems involved. It's doubtful. There is still much to be discovered.

Writing Off Ann Coulter

2012-01-24T14:23:00.002-05:00

SEE HERE Not sure why, but Ann Coulter is no longer a reliable conservative voice. She seems to have gone over to the dark side. Perhaps she's just revealing her true colors. One doesn't know, but she's sold out to the Romney forces and apparently is for sale. I'll probably still put up the occasional Coulter piece if she makes valid points, but I no longer consider her reliable as a voice for Conservative principles. Too bad. We need all the spokespersons we can get.

Gingrich Was Exonerated of the Democrat's Ethics Charges

2012-01-23T22:16:00.002-05:00

Typical phony charges by the Democrats. I have a video tape collection of this class and it was outstanding and had nothing to do with politics. I was stunned when this charge was made. It is typical of how the Democrats behave. They are scum! Things like this are why I don't even consider voting for a Democrat. We need a new party to replace these bottom feeders.

Oh, did I say that Romney was plastic and hollow ... that probably exaggerates his appeal. Can we get back to someone with fire in his belly and a real message. I'll go with Ron Paul before I go with Romney and I don't much care for Ron Paul.

Conscience ... What Conscience? The Obama Administration is Unconscionable

2012-01-23T19:32:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE In case you wondered if slavery had gone out of style, the news is that it hasn't it's just now Federally mandated submission to immorality and evil. The government has not official cross the line from being a collaborator with evil to being directly evil. Men and women of conscience cannot obey this law. The government has crossed the line!

The Emerging Police State — Do You Feel Safer? I Don't!

2012-01-23T16:30:00.004-05:00

SEE HERE Senator Rand Paul apparently refused a pat down after a full body scan was performed. That sounds like harassment to me. TSA and Homeland Security are out of control like the rest of the Federal establishment under the Obama administration. It's time, long past time, for a change back towards limited government. Who the hell do these people think they are? The government is supposed to protect us and not harass us. It isn't as if Rand Paul is anonymous. These clowns probably knew exactly what they were doing and having fun pushing a U.S. senator around.

The U.S. Constitution actually protects federal lawmakers from detention while they’re on the way to the capital.
“The Senators and Representatives…shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same….” according to Article I, Section 6.

It's Called Total Irresponsibility — Democrat for Short

SEE HERE A thousand days without a budget ... Is this the fiscal responsibility that the Democrats offer? This is why we're in trouble. The people running the show are irresponsible and hell-bent on bringing the system down. Trillions for stupidity but not one cent for sanity. There is no-one at the wheel and the waterfall looms.

Dumb and Dumber ...

2012-01-23T11:54:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE I've often taken the position that the biggest problem we have is caused by the fact that people are so economically ignorant. They quite literally believe that money grows on trees ... the government just prints it and magic occurs and everyone can be employed or not as they like. The food will magically appear in the grocery stores, the fuel will magically appear at the pumps, cars will magically roll off the assembly lines, and everyone will live the good life and no-one really has to work. Wow! What a delusion! But that's what it comes down to. That isn't just a misunderstanding about economics, it's a sheer commitment to stupidity. Do they teach people anything in the schools? Apparently not if they can believe that a government job is ever productive of anything but trouble. The bigger the government becomes the more your freedom shrinks until finally everyone is both poor and enslaved. That's the reality, but do we actually have to go there or isn't reading about it as it has happened before in the history books enough? Oh, I guess that means you have to have read the history books. Epic Fail!

An Awesome List of Presidential Firsts

2012-01-23T11:37:00.001-05:00

Who said Obama hasn't done anything? Below is an impressive list of accomplishments! AND, a lot of "Firsts!"

First President to golf 73 separate times in his first two and a half years in office, 90 to date & counting.
First President to hide his medical, educational and travel records.
First President to win a Nobel Peace Prize for doing NOTHING to earn it.
First President to not know how to properly pronounce Navy 'corpsman'.
First President to go on multiple global apology tours-including bowing to foreign rulers.
First President to go on 17 lavish vacations, including date nights and Wednesday evening White House parties for his friends; paid for by the taxpayer.
First President to say that America was not a Christian nation.
First President to have 22 personal servants (taxpayer funded) just for his wife.
First President to keep a dog trainer on retainer for $102,000 a year at taxpayer expense.
So how is this hope and change working out for ya? Don't you feel better now?

A Base In Revolt — What the Republicans Need!

2012-01-23T09:40:00.002-05:00

SEE HERE Red State's Erickson nails this. It sure fits my perspective. I see the Republican Establishment as the problem and the grassroots Conservatives as the solution. To advance we need to remove the Establishment, the whole bunch, Democrats and Democrat-lite Republicans. If we cannot restore the republic then we have to at least bring the issue to a head. Failing that is an epic Fail.

If the Republicans Won't Support Conservatives Then They Won't Survive

2012-01-22T18:31:00.001-05:00

The Republicans are currently a failed party. They are ignoring the grassroots and shortly the grassroots will start ignoring them. The grassroots are the Republican party activists and support system. Without them there will be no Republican establishment so the Republican establishment needs to start listening and stop pretending that the Tea Party is a fringe movement. The Tea Party is the voice of the Founders and without honoring that voice there will be no republic to be a Republican in.

Ron Paul? — Unelectable? Wishful Thinking from the Establishment!

2012-01-22T18:14:00.002-05:00

This is a pretty funny and insightful piece that shows up quite a few of the talking heads for the bozos they are. It also shows how biased and unobjective they are. It's sad that this is how those who claim to bring us the news routinely behave. I'm not a big fan of Ron Paul, but give the man his due. The part where they just left him out because he was second was totally outrageous.

Astonishing Obama Campaign Ad

2012-01-22T14:51:00.002-05:00

Wow ... I just saw an Obama presidential campaign ad which was a string of lies from beginning to end. Very polished but totally untruthful. Looks like the era of the big lie has not ended. The Nazis did it. The Stalinists did it. It looks like the Democrats are going to do it. Is that a surprise? Well not a big one, but this early and this totally deceitful ... well that's a surprise! When I can find a video of it, I'll put it up. ... Here it is ... if you believe this I have a bridge in Brooklyn I can let you have cheap ...

Pay Attention Or We're Coming For You!

2012-01-22T11:52:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE The roar is passion! Conservatives are aching for candidates that will fight back. We are not going to continue to be marginalized by the left that is destroying the country and smugly acting like it is their way or the highway. We are not going to be marginalized by having the country-club Republicans tell us who can win and why their way is better and less contentious. It is time to fight back or lose the nation entirely. Ken Cuccinelli has it exactly right when he quotes Ronald Reagan:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." — Ronald Reagan

Hard Money — What a Concept!

2012-01-22T10:03:00.003-05:00

SEE HERE Shouldn't money be as "good as gold"? Well it likely can be if we return to a standard pegged to hard commodities. The question is how to do it and how to do it in a way that is stable and sustainable. It's likely not easy since the American economy has become addicted to inflation. Real growth requires real productivity advances not phony inflation driven perceptions. Making more money that is worth less is a royal road to delusion.

It's Time To Take The Fight To Obama

2012-01-21T21:14:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE Newt wins in South Carolina and let's start taking the fight to Obama. The issue is the lousy job he has done and the failure of Democrat vision and performance. He lied when he was elected and has done nothing to meet the promises he made during his campaign. It's time to make him accountable for the worst presidency ever!

This is Fun! — If you don't show up is that contempt of court?

2012-01-21T17:02:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE We need to settle this natural born citizen thing. In the meantime it's pretty funny. I hope there's a finding that keeps Obama off the ballot in one or more states. That should get everyone's attention. Maybe then we'd get a real legal opinion and we'll be able to tell how the Supreme Court wiggles their way out of it.

Reagan versus Carter ... Next Should be Gingrich versus Obama

2012-01-21T16:37:00.001-05:00

Michael Reagan Endorses Gingrich

2012-01-21T11:23:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE I guess I should say why I support Newt Gingrich. It isn't very complicated. Newt Gingrich is the only one in the race that has ever fought the good fight as a conservative and won, period! I originally supported Herman Cain, a successful black business man without Washington ties, because I really wanted someone independent. Well the Demoncrats worked their selective bimbo magic that only apparently sticks to Republicans since Democrats are generally immune despite far more egregious bimbo outbreaks. Gingrich has his own problems with the ladies but it's a good sign that his daughters support him. He has both Todd and Sarah Palin endorsing him, a prominent evangelical,Tim LaHaye, author of the Left Behind series and now Michael Reagan. That's a better list of conservative folks than any other I've heard.

Newt has solid credentials and he's the real reason that Bill Clinton's budget balanced something the Democrats never cease crowing about. Newt's biggest problem is that his fellow Republicans were in many cases just Democrats in disguise, so he couldn't pull off as much as he otherwise might have. If we can give Newt a congress, a senate, and the presidency then we have a chance, a slim one maybe, to roll back this train wreck that Barack Obama has set in motion. Good luck America! else R.I.P.

Krauthammer on the 1% Candidate

2012-01-20T11:09:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE If Krauthammer has it right then nominating Mitt Romney would be to play directly into the Democrat narrative, a recipe for defeat. I tend to agree. Romney is a plastic figure on the political scene. He is a man, who if he has values, finds them all too easy to negotiate away as proven by his track record. Politics is the art of the possible, so we should expect successful candidates to be flexible, but not so flexible as to bargain away core principles. Mitt Romney just doesn't make that gate.

Do We Actually Have A Race Now?

2012-01-20T10:56:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE With Rick Santorum now recognized as the winner in Iowa and Rick Perry dropping out of the race and endorsing Newt Gingrich and the prospect of a close or a winning race for Gingrich in South Carolina we may well have a real race developing. I am soooooo.... not for Romney. I personally think a Romney nomination would guarantee four more years of the Narcissist In Charge (NIC) and he would likely destroy the country or at least leave it in a shambles

Politics of Personal Destruction May Backfire!

2012-01-20T10:36:00.000-05:00

Well I certainly hope that Sarah Palin is right on this. Newt Gingrich's divorce is very old news and whatever the merits or demerits of it as an issue it is interesting that the media only plays it on Republicans. When it's a Democrat whose behavior is less than entirely wholesome the excuse is trotted out that it is a personal matter. John Kennedy for example or Bill Clinton more recently are examples of philanderers who got a pass from the media but Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich, their alleged transgressions are another story. It would be a breath of fresh air to see the media actually concentrate in a responsible way on real issues. Unfortunately to concentrate on real issues you have to actually understand them which might be asking a lot from a tabloid media.

Limbaugh Speculates About ABC Gaming the Primaries

2012-01-19T22:11:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE Many years ago I was the first page editor of my high school newspaper. We were taught that good journalism tried to be objective and that our job was to report the news not influence it. Sometime in the 1960s all that changed and the journalists got infected with the idea that they should interpret the news for we poor benighted ignorant imbeciles that they wrote newspapers for. Shortly after that it was no longer interpretation but spin and advocacy and "news making" somehow not only couldn't we interpret the news, we didn't even need to know what really happened only what we were supposed to think. Newspapers are hardly even useful to wrap fish in anymore and the broadcast media are worse. The best you can do these days is try to integrate the spin in the hopes that the average will be something approximating the truth.

How Much Is Your Freedom Worth?

2012-01-19T10:37:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE George Will isn't my favorite columnist but he hits often enough that he's a must read. The usual liberal gnats I've written off long ago. They can usually be told by the vapidity of their headlines which usually trigger an advance shudder since you know it's just more liberal spin. Here though Will focuses in on a real threat to freedom, the criminalization of ordinary activity. Taking pictures could indeed be terrorist “pre-operational surveillance”. But it is actually more likely that it is just a citizen taking pictures. The increase in numbers of relatively inexpensive cameras that take high quality pictures it causing an explosion of picture taking activity. Just check out the Facebook pictures statistics if you doubt me. The road to serfdom is paved with good intentions. Actually my mom said "hell" but serfdom is probably on the same road.

Thomas Sowell — A Continuing Dialogue

2012-01-19T10:15:00.000-05:00

SEE HERE Moral melodrama created and constructed as the myth of discrimination or the myth of genetic inferiority, when in fact a far simpler reason, rather obvious, is all along in front of the anointed — the fact of circumstances such as isolation, environmental austerity and connection with other cultures. What is a surprise really is that the anointed so rarely look at what is right in front of them.

You Get What You Work For

2012-01-18T19:23:00.001-05:00

SEE HERE Thomas Sowell points out the obvious which is that all college degrees are not created equal. Is that a big surprise? It shouldn't be, but maybe to those who have never bothered to think about it, perhaps it is. I have always told my children to learn how to do something that is hard and in demand and you'll never want for a job. If it's in demand but easy then the pay will not be good although at least you'll be employed. If it is hard but not in demand, then you probably won't have a job but if you do it will likely pay fairly well. When both conditions are present you are never unemployed and you're always paid well. The other rule is that it should be something you enjoy. Nothing beats all three.
