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 [...]

At a work-related function Thursday, two bosses of mine decided to make a snarky, demeaning remark about Governor Palin in my presence. I’m sure they assume I am a Democrat and as such, the fact that I am a woman would have no bearing on the fact that they were deeply insulting someone of my [...]

Last night I was scrolling though the comments about my piece, “What Rev. Martin Luther King Wanted and What Obama Hasn’t Got.” I noticed that a few posters were feeling completely distraught about the possibility of an Obama presidency and the devastation that might ensue. In the name of keeping all of us on an [...]

Do we really want to nominate a candidate we have to protect, or someone who is going to protect us? With the collapse of IndyMac and Bear Stearns, mounting home foreclosures, a tanking economy and no end in sight in Iraq, we need someone far smarter and more knowledgeable than we are on matters of [...]

Part of the Clinton Derangement Syndrome we have witnessed this election cycle puts forth the theory that anything that happens is Hillary’s fault. Senator Obama, the DNC elites and the media never miss an opportunity to try and sell this phony bill of goods to the public. Barack’s looking real tired on the campaign trail. [...]

I was in our nation’s capitol from July 3 – 10. Among the highlights of my week-long visit was coffee at the Mayflower Hotel with NQ’s Larry Johnson. It was even more fun conversing with him than reading his blog posts. Another highlight was watching the FISA votes from the Senate visitors’ gallery at the [...]

Our Congress has voted, and the President has signed into law, the “New and Improved” FISA, which will allow the government to spy on us with reckless abandon (I had a post on this, “Thanks Obama For Voting For FISA” yesterday). As soon as the President signed the bill into law, the ACLU filed a [...]

Why, oh WHY is anyone surprised by the machinations of Obama in the past month or so, culminating in his throwing the Constitution under the bus with his vote for FISA and telecom immunity? Why are people like Bob Herbert angry at him for moving so much to the Center now? In a column published [...]

Karma’s a bitch, baby. And today some folks out there got a snoot full. Jesse Jackson is now falling all over himself to apologize for his “hot mic” comments about Senator Obama. Rev. Jackson intimated Obama is threatening his own support within the African American community by lecturing them on morality and talking down to [...]

Barack Obama promised to filibuster the FISA bill, but instead, he voted for it, and many of his supporters are understandably concerned about his willingness to compromise our civil liberties. As Dawn Teo wrote for Huffington Post: Last week, Obama supporters created a “Get FISA Right” group using the Obama campaign’s web-based social networking application. [...]

Apparently running with some trial balloon by not playing the race card for a change, the Obama camp has a new explanation for the unbelievers. We are hearing impaired. According to MissEYEUhh Barky, the reason so many of us are criticizing him is because we haven’t been listening. Obama Says His Critics Haven’t Been Listening [...]

How depressing is it that both of the major presumptive candidates for president support spying on Americans? What about the majority of the minority of Americans that will choose one or the other of them to become their political leader? Supporting their own demise. Like good little lemmings. And Cultists. I tell you. Our prospects [...]

Monday, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann dropped his pompoms and attempted to re-reverse himself by doing a "special comment" about Barack Obama’s recent reversal on FISA (Crooks & Liars has the video and transcript). Mr. Olbermann made two major mistakes: 1) He said that Sen. Obama has a second chance to fight FISA 2) He indicated that [...]

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 [...]

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. – Benjamin Franklin Words from one of the most enlightened and pragmatic of our forefathers mean nothing to Obama. He thinks that he knows better than this very wise man. After all, what good is a 4th [...]
