You Want Me to Sit this Election Out? Nominate Rick Santorum. »

* Bumped Up from January 8 * In the name of defeating a president who is clearly bad for our economy, who champions crony capitalism and continues, even escalates, some of the worst of George W. Bush’s policies, disaffected Democrats are willing to vote for a Republican – but not anyone. Ex-Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, [...]

Obama: “Indefinite Detention” To Be The Law Of The Land »

And I do not mean just for Gitmo. I mean for AMERICANS. Yes, you read that right, Obama is going to sign into law INDEFINITE DETENTION for AMERICAN CITIZENS. Moreover, this applies not just to US Citizens abroad, but right here at home. Constitution, Schmonstitution, who needs that crappy old piece of paper? Apparently not [...]

The Numbers Just Don’t Add Up »

Or rather, they continue to not add up. First it was the massive Stimulus money hole, Solyndra, courtesy of Obama paying off his big donors, a recurring theme with him; then it was the bogus Unemployment Numbers pushed by the President and the Democrats; can’t forget about the missing $1.2 Billion Obama’s and Biden’s good [...]

Lose Your Way Recently? Blame It On Lightsquared »

I know, I should be used to this by now, but it is still striking to see the ways in which Obama helps his buddies, not to mention the lengths to which he goes to help them. It is shocking, especially since we end up paying for all of these bozos and their companies. But [...]

Sunday News Briefs and Open Thread »

As usual, there were a few missteps, but also some points scored. Here’s a story that made our headlines. The NAACP [...]

Depends On What Your Definition Of “Lie” Is…*Open Thread* »

Thursday brought two major hearings to Capitol Hill. The first was Attorney General Eric Holder on the whole “Fast and Furious” issue. After many half responses, non-responses, and dissembling left and right, came this little interaction between Eric Holder and Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) in the video below:

“Workplace Violence”? That’s What They Are Calling It These Days? »

That would be the umbrella term the Department of Defense is using to describe Major Hasan gunning down a number of his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood. “Workplace violence.” Good grief. Thanks heavens some US Senators are speaking out about this incredibly sanitized, downright false characterization of Major Hasan’s intentions when he began to shoot [...]

Following The Money, All Washed And Clean »

That money would be Mexican drug cartel money all sparkly clean thanks to – wait for it – the DEA. Yes, the DEA, under Holder, has laundered millions – MILLIONS – of dollars for the Mexican drug cartels. How in the hell is Holder, and every single one of the administrators who went along with [...]

Is the OWS Movement “Running On Empty?” And Why… »

* Bumped up* WaPo’s Dana Milbank asked this question in his latest opinion piece while doing his best to romanticize the movement. Milbank centered his story on folk rocker Jackson Browne’s recent attempts to rally a small group of OWS protesters in Washington, D.C.: He played five political tunes but left out the one most [...]

Obama, “Aloha From Hawaii – The Rest Of You Stay And Work” Open Thread »

Yes, it is that time of year again, when Obama and Family head off to Hawaii for a bit of R&R. Obama’s SEVENTEEN day vacation is set to start on December 17th. His office said he had no public events planned. In other words, this is a total vacation from all of his hard work. [...]

Now Barney Does His Job, And Bill Richardson Pulls An Edwards? *OT* »

Yes, now that Barney Frank has decided not to run for re-election, he has decided to actually do the work of the people. No, seriously – he is. But it took him saying he was leaving to do it, and this is a BIG issue. And that would be Obamacare. Specifically, the Independent Payment Advisory [...]

This And That *Open Thread* »

So we are back from our excursion to Grand Cayman for some snorkeling, good food, and a look at a possible vacation investment. There is a reason why I am mentioning this. I just have to share what one of the owners of the development said while we were chatting. She said she didn’t know [...]

Wait, Which One Is It? Obama Plays Both Sides (And More) »

Obama is doing what he likes to do best – campaign. But he is doing it under the auspices of the People’s Business. Uh huh. I suppose if one completely ignored the blatantly partisan nature of his campaign, uh, I mean POLICY speeches, like the recent one in New Hampshire, one could buy that. The [...]

Truth Will Out On Voter ID “Outrage” »

Well, this is a mighty interesting story, though I don’t reckon you’ll be seeing it on MSNBC. A former Democratic Representative, Artur Davis, fromo Alabama, admits the real reason the Democrats so oppose Voter ID. In an interview with The Daily Caller, Davis acknowledges the rampant voter fraud being perpetrated by Democratic Party bosses. Now, [...]

“Democratic Pollsters: Obama Should Abandon Run for Second Term” »

Now THERE is a headline I can get behind, from the National Journal. Yes, a variety of sources are reporting today that Democratic pollsters are a bit concerned about Obama’s re-election campaign, and what would happen should he get (NOOOO!) a second term. I gotta tell you, this is a welcome headline indeed. And just [...]
