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 [...]

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 [...]

Crazy Things Being Done By Our Government »

~Bumped up~ That are going to make my head explode. First, news that the ten executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are still operating in the red, and which are largely to blame for the housing crisis, got BONUSES. And I am not talking little bonuses, either. Those ten mo-fos got = and [...]

TGIF – Halloween Weekend *Open Thread* »

There have been a whole bunch of scary occurrences leading up to this Halloween weekend. Many of them have been by President Obama, who wants to cast Republicans as evil haters of clean water, air, and, well, all life as we know it, apparently. Ahem. The trial of Michael Jackson’s doctor continues, the OWS continue [...]

News That Sounds Like It’s From “The Onion,” But Isn’t »

There have been a few items in the News recently that really do sound like they are straight from The Onion, but are, in fact, true. Chalk it up to the “truth is stranger than fiction” meme. Hopefully, this will provide a bit of a respite from our undeclared war on Libya, which cost us [...]

Shining A Bright Light On TSA’s Assault On Our Rights »

Sharon Cissna is an Alaskan State Representative(D), and one of my new heroes. Now why, you may ask, is she a hero? Because Rep. Cissna refuses to submit to a TSA pat-down. As a survivor of breast cancer, with a false breast as a result of a mastectomy, she has refused to submit to another [...]

A Bit Of A Follow Up To Trumka And Palin *Open Thread* »

To my recent post about Palin and the new McCarthyism. Michelle Malkin had this post about how President Obama will be spending his Labor day, “Obama spending Labor Day with real thugs.” Wanna guess who? That’s right, Richard Trumka. And why would Malkin say such a thing in her post? This is why: [snip] Trumka [...]

Does Anyone Else Find This Ironic? *Updated* »

Yes, yes, more about the whole mosque thing in New York, though this is about a different aspect of it. And that would be our First Amendment right to free speech. Remember how Obama went on and on about the mosque-builders and freedom of religion, as if this had anything whatsoever to do with freedom [...]

Warning Label For The Constitution? »

I have to say, I did not see this coming. There has been a whole lot of crazy stuff going on in this country, from “Let them eat cake” regular parties in the White House to some guy living at home and using the public library computer getting the Democratic nomination for US Senator in [...]

Pitting Citizen Against Citizen »

That would be President Obama in his recent press conference. Now I understand why this “eloquent” “brilliant” “orator” does not do more of these things. Wow. We thought Bush was bad. But eve Bush never pitted one American citizen against another like this: Watch the latest news video at video.foxnews.com Obama said claimed that the [...]

One Immigrant’s Story »

(Bumped up from Sunday.) In light of recent events in Arizona to strengthen Federal law regarding illegal immigration and the subsequent brouhaha over that law, I asked a friend about her own immigration story. She immigrated from the Pacific Islands some years ago. I wondered what the process was like when she became a citizen, [...]

Secure Our Borders To Keep Drugs (And Illegals) Out? Nah, Treatment’s Cheaper »

Just when you think our Elected Officials cannot possibly be any stupider, there is this article, Pelosi: It’s Cheaper to Treat Teens for Drug Use Than Interdict Drugs at Border. Sigh. Okay, here’s the thing. I love San Francisco. It is a beautiful city. But seriously, how can they keep electing this woman?? Read it [...]

Giving New Meaning To The Term, “Bully Pulpit” »

Yet another crack in the Obama devotion from many in the MSM is surfacing. My colleague, Linda Anselmi, came across this article recently, and passed it on. This time, the focus is Obama’s bullying tendencies. This is not a new concept to me – I have been writing about what a bully Obama is since [...]

“Constitutional Scholar”? Really?? »

Because Obama doesn’t seem to know the difference between the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence in his SOTU: It is hard to believe the above isn’t a skit from SNL, too. Holy smokes.Huh, I guess not being able to see those transcripts and stuff is kind of important AFTER all.

Another Take On The Recent Supreme Court Decision »

My friend from Hand Count Paper Ballots Now, Kathleen Wynne, recently wrote this fine piece, “How The American People Can Defeat Unlimited Corporate Money and Influence in Elections” with her colleague, Karen Renick. She was kind enough to allow me to reprint it here in its entirety below: “There is a dangerous, misguided movement out [...]
