“What If Bush Had Done That?” »

That is a question I have asked myself time and time again since Obama took office on a number of issues, including expanding the Faith Based Initiatives, or my fave, the incredibly unConstitutional “Prolonged Detention” of American Citizens, holding them in custody indefinitely without charges.
Turns out I am not the only one who [...]

Them’s Fightin’ Words »

By now, most everyone has heard that President Carter claimed people who don’t support Obama do so because they are racists. Wow. Obviously, this is shocking on the face of it. If you have not heard this, the video is below. I also recommend two very good posts on this topic, one [...]

Where Has The NY Times BEEN?? »

I could not believe my eyes when I saw this Editorial in the New York Times, “A Threat To Fair Elections“. With great excitement, I began to read, wondering if they were FINALLY going to start addressing some of the issues from this past election (not to mention the two previous ones). You [...]

Yup, the Democratic National Committee has outdone themselves with their preparations for their upcoming National Convention in a few weeks. They thought of everything… balloons, barbed wire cages, [...]

Seriously, Is Obama Just a Puppet? »

We first learned who was behind Obama and his inspiring speeches months ago. Those very speeches that excited the crowds, and drew people in. Those very speeches that many people voted for. Despite the fact that he ever really said anything more than just *hope* and *change*, people saw JFK, MLK and RFK all rolled [...]

Oh, My Aching Head… »

So, I was thinking this morning – How many policy changes has Obama made since he proclaimed himself Master of the Universe on June 3, 2008? Some are better known than others, because even some of the big ones had to be covered by the MSM. But let’s see what we can find:
June 4, 2008: [...]

Obama’s Two Faces and Forked Tongue »

by Medusa and Bud White
Two-faced? Hypocritical? Or showing his true colors? Last week Barack Obama made 180 degree turns on three previous positions he had taken in order to seduce liberal Democrats. In an article entitled “For Obama, winning is everything“, Michael Tomasky writes of these changes, claiming that:
It’s acceptable – and necessary – for [...]
