An Auspicious Occasion – Combat Troops Out Of Iraq »

Whether you supported the Iraq War or not (and as I have said numerous times, I did not), there was very good news coming out of Iraq on Thursday. The troops are coming home (at least most of them): Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com

Mosque Supporters Want WHO To Speak Out? »

You might not want to be drinking coffee or anything right this moment. Why? Well, when I tell you just who the mosque supporters want to come out in support of building the mosque 60 feet from Ground Zero, whatever beverage you’re consuming may end up on your computer screen. Okay. Ready? George W. Bush. [...]

New On The Job At West Point »

I don’t know about you, but I am ready for a break on all of the mosque brouhaha (e.g., are they building it or aren’t they, will they consider a different location, or won’t they?), Obama’s “incoherent message,” the continuing economic woes, and all the rest. So about that new person at West Point. He [...]

The Shoe’s On The Other Foot Now, Madam Speaker »

This is rich. Remember back when Bush was president, and his Administration was accused of distributing propaganda to support its programs? People were outraged at the news, remember? I sure do – I was mighty upset that our taxpaying dollars were going to support downright propaganda, for programs I opposed, I might add. Well now, [...]

Obama’s Answer To The Oil Spill »

Oh, it’s a doozy. I admit, using Jon Stewart two times in one week is a bit unusual for me, but hey – it was Obama’s first Oval Office speech, plus it was both telling, and funny, as hell. So here ya go – Obama’s plan: The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs [...]

“Obama, The Thin Skinned President” »

I have never understood this whole meme about how even-keeled Obama is, how eloquent, how brilliant, how “likeable,” how “unflappable,” blah, blah, blah. All evidence to the contrary does not seem to sway our “intrepid” media. Fortunately, though, some people (besides us) are seeing Obama for who he is as this article highlights (h/t to [...]

[BREAKING] President Obama Blinks – Will Send 1,200 National Guard Troops to Secure US-Mexico Border »

BREAKING — According to MSNBC today … President Barack Obama will send 1,200 National Guard troops to help secure the U.S.-Mexico border, an administration official and an Arizona congresswoman said Tuesday, pre-empting Republican plans to try to force votes on such a deployment. Obama will also request $500 million for border protection and law enforcement [...]

Chris Matthews Admits “The President Scares Me,” James Carville Laments Obama’s “Lackadaisical” Response and Kevin Costner to the Rescue on the BP Oil Spill »

The Huffington Post, of all places, carried two surprising news items critical of The One. The first as reported by Danny Shea tells us Chris Matthews… The MSNBC anchor, once so enamored with Barack Obama that he admitted a campaign speech sent a thrill up his leg, has now told Jay Leno that Obama scares [...]

Laura Bush Said WHAT?? »

I admit that I did not hold Laura Bush in the highest esteem. After all, she married Dubya. That was about all I needed to know about her. And she seemed like such a Stepford Wife, not to mention downright boring. But honestly, I pretty much dismissed her out of hand because, as I said, [...]

In Growing Numbers, We Feel Alienated from Our Own Government – Peggy Noonan and Jane Hamsher Explain … »

If anyone wonders why 24% of the population identify with the Tea Party movement, or what prompted Jane Hampsher of FireDogLake to note that Progressivism Is Dead, while expressing fury at being sold out to corporate oligarchs and government elite, look no further than Peggy Noonan’s WSJ piece, The Big Alienation, which aptly describes the [...]

Is The Love Affair Between The Press And Obama Over? »

One would certainly think so if this article is any indication, “Why Reporters Are Down On President Obama“. Color me a bit surprised to learn that reporters were down on Obama. I could be jaded after the overwhelmingly positive articles of him during the election, especially compared to favorable articles on Hillary Clinton, but I [...]

A Real Socialist Explains Why Obama Isn’t One of Them… »

CNN’s John Blake posted an article the other day that is just too rich to let pass without comment. CNN, certainly very Obama-friendly, was probably trying to do our President a solid by posting this piece in an effort to prove to the Tea Party activists and others who are not fans of Mr. Obama’s [...]

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke on GDP And The National Debt »

I think we are in for a world of hurt. So does Chairman Ben Bernanke:

Are You “Tea Party” Angry? »

Who’s afraid of a little Tea Party? Everyone, fortunately. So says Kevin O’Brien of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, who correctly points out that while Tea Partiers may lean conservative, they are filled with more anti-incumbent fever (for both sides) than anyone would care to admit: Democratic officeholders should be afraid. Republican officeholders, too. For many [...]

Democratic Women in the Tea Party Movement Bust Another False Media Narrative »

It is shocking that even CNN has reported on Disgruntled Democrats Joining the Tea Party. Shannon Travis’ story quotes two disaffected educated, liberal women and their unlikely path to the tea party protests: Some Americans who say they have been sympathetic to Democratic causes in the past — some even voted for Democratic candidates — [...]
