More On Fort Hood, Sgt. Munley, And Others »

We are learning more and more as the days pass since the horrific terrorist attack on Fort Hood this past week- yes, I said it – that’s what it is. What else do you call it when someone plots, plans, and carries out an attack on our soil but terrorism? Was not the Oklahoma City [...]

Allow Me To Introduce You To… »

Dr. Sima Samar. Now, some of you may know who she is already. For those who do not, or for those who are want to learn more, this is for you. (H/t to my aunt for sending me a mini biography on her, and to American Girl in Italy for mentioning her recently, too.) And [...]

*nobel “speech” prize* »

A lot of people on the Left are mad at the Right for their criticisms of the Nobel Peace Prize committee awarding the Peace Prize to Obama, even accusing them as “siding with the terrorists“. The only thing is the criticism is not only coming from the Right. There appears to be an universal sense [...]

obama: we are held hostage by insurance companies that deny coverage »

“We are held hostage at any given moment by health insurance companies that deny coverage or drop coverage or charge fees that people can’t afford,” Obama said in August. And on whitehouse.gov, the Administration promises more stability and security with health care reform, and points out that 20,000 people were denied treatment, to save money:

a little reality check for the reality checkers… »

I stumbled upon the latest Reality Check brought to you by WhiteHouse.gov. Apparently the Obama administration is still obsessing over FOX news, this time targeting Glenn Beck. They took Beck to task, providing the “REALITY” to his “RHETORIC”. I provide the *ACTUAL REALITY*. What topic do they take issue with? His comments on Afghanistan? Health [...]

“shifting financial obligations of this magnitude to future generations is immoral, unacceptable and unsustainable” »

yep….words, just words »

Flopping Aces had a great post up this week about Obama’s empty words and dare I say, lies. It really points out how empty Obama’s promises were/are when it comes to bipartisanship, and the truth about what is going on in Washington.

wolf blitzer in jeopardy »

Wolf Blitzer got spanked by Andy Richter in Celebrity Jeopardy. And he looks as miserable as his performance. H/T Hot Air According to Wikipedia, “The incident created a stir when, after airing, CNN President Jonathan Klein suggested that Andy Richter might be a better choice to host The Situation Room than Blitzer.” Perhaps those in [...]

ACORN: will more nuts fall from the tree? »

James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles strike again. This time in Brooklyn. The women, Volda and Milagros, in this newest video from Brooklyn, NY, seem slightly less forthcoming than the women from the DC and Baltimore offices. They seem a tad uncomfortable, and don’t look Hannah and James in the eye often. That said, it doesn’t [...]

hey, liberal media! you might want to quit delegitimizing the president… »

Let me set aside my media designated “white cloak” for a moment, and offer some advice for Obama supporters. Every time one of you (liberal media) label criticism of Obama as racist, you are the ones hurting Obama. Barack Obama is not the Black President of America. He is the President of the United States [...]

senate dems move to close loophole in health care reform bill »

From Politico: Wilson wins? The controversy over Republican Rep. Joe Wilson’s shouting out “You Lie!” at the President over his claim that illegal immigrants wouldn’t benefit from health-care reform apparently sparked some reconsideration of the relevant language. “We really thought we’d resolved this question of people who are here illegally, but as we reflected on [...]
