Thinking Outside the Man-Cave
By: belcatar (Diary) | June 10th at 04:52 PM |
Scandals in the Obama administration popping up so fast that the mainstream media simply doesn’t have the manpower to ignore them all. Most of these scandals are indicative of the culture of unprecedented incompetence, corruption, and vindictiveness, and every American whose IQ is larger than the screen size of their phone ought to be sharpening the pitchforks and getting the torches ready for the next | Read More »
Progressive Cognitive Disorder
By: belcatar (Diary) | April 18th at 12:01 AM |
After some careful thought, I have come to the conclusion that progressives suffer from a legitimate form of mental illness. While it is tempting to simply write them off as loons, crazies, and nutcases, I think it is worthwhile to probe a little deeper into the progressive mind and attempt to isolate the source of progressive thinking. Finding the basic cognitive flaw that gives rise | Read More »
The Ground Game
By: belcatar (Diary) | November 7th at 05:27 PM |
I’m curious about the idea of a “ground game” in these elections. Here’s my dilemma: A a citizen of the United States, we have a civic duty to explore the issues, weigh the facts, and come to a conclusion based on what we believe will be the best course for our city, state, or country. We then go to the polls and choose a person | Read More »
S.C.A.R.S.
By: belcatar (Diary) | September 13th at 05:50 PM |
The President of the United States has always been adept at taking credit where none is due and shifting blame to those who don’t deserve it. Some might call it a valuable survival skill in the political pirhana tank that is Washington, D.C., but he has taken it beyond the average, run of the mill shiftiness one might expect from sitting for too long in | Read More »
When is a Biography Not a Biography?
By: belcatar (Diary) | August 11th at 11:37 PM |
It’s not a Lewis Carroll riddle, though in the hands of Obama’s chief fantasist David Axlerod, it rivals Carroll’s ravens-and-writing-desks nonsense (Carroll admitted that his famous riddle originally had no answer), and in many ways surpasses it. To be fair, Lewis Carroll was writing a story for children, a whimsical, foray into a wonderland that, though it seemed strange and odd to Alice, did adhere | Read More »
Coffee with Joe
By: belcatar (Diary) | July 8th at 09:54 PM |
Is it all right if I call the Vice President of the United States “Joe”? Out of respect for the office that John Adams once called “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived,” I would say, “no, we should refer to Joe as “Mr. Vice President,” or perhaps “Mr. Vice.” However, in his recent fundraising email to | Read More »
The Fundraising Zone
By: belcatar (Diary) | July 4th at 01:17 PM |
Separating people from their money is no easy task, which is why the Wise Leaders of Yesteryear dreamed up payroll deductions and everyone’s favorite government agency, the Internal Revenue Service. These workhorses of government take the stress out of fleecing people by making sure the people never see the money they rightfully earned in the first place. It has worked so well for the last | Read More »
Sally Kohn’s Deep Thoughts
By: belcatar (Diary) | July 13th at 10:09 PM |
In Fox’s Opinion section today, Sally Kohn penned an article entitled “Government Helps You-Whether You Like It Or Not.” The title alone is proof positive that the occasional liberal viewpoint appears on Fox News. A quick read of the article confirms what most RedStaters probably surmised before getting through the first paragraph-that the author has trotted out the same tired, inaccurate slop that attempts to | Read More »

Marriage is dying! So says marriage expert Cameron Diaz: “I don’t think we should live our lives in relationships based off old traditions that don’t suit our world any longer.” Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/05/06/dr-keith-ablow-cameron-diaz-right-4-reasons-marriage-dying-institution/#ixzz1LfpdrhSa First of all, Hollywood entertainers live in a financially insulated bubble-world which operates very similar to a fishbowl.

The Folly of “Economic Fairness”
By: belcatar (Diary) | April 15th at 07:32 PM |
In his April 14th column, Washington Post writer Steven Pearlstein attacks the Republican approach to the debate, claiming that the Republicans refuse to engage on the subject of “economic fairness”. He writes: “One of the more comical features of the budget debate is to watch the ways in which Republicans refuse to engage on the issue of economic fairness.” The column can be found here: | Read More »
