The total incompetence is heart breaking. The lies and misrepresentations to the American people are outrageous.

Remember, everything is about Obama’s legacy. Nothing else. After all the legal wrangling, Obama may very well be out of office by the time any civilian trial is concluded. Holder did not tell Sen. Graham that KSM would be re-imprisoned. He said that Congress would not allow KSM to "be released in THIS country." Obama could be accused of biasing any jury pool with his | Read More »

I mean, if our President is going to break 200 years of tradition and bow to a foreign leader….. if our President is going to embarrass our country….. if our President is going to show slavish subservience….. Then, at least get it right. This is the man that deserve Obama’s, if not America’s bow….. I | Read More »
Tyranny cannot tolerate opposition or escape. The Iron Curtain was the symbol of Soviet oppression of Eastern Europe. Children and young adults today cannot comprehend what it was like to live in such a world. Even the countries involved were labeled. Today no one speaks of Eastern Europe. Rather the world now speaks of Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, etc. No longer are these | Read More »
When I take a break from blogging, I’m a real estate title abstractor. I’m….in-between…. employers at the moment. Why? Nope. Not because of the foreclosures. If every house on the market that should be foreclosed was being sold, I would have a job. My industry depends upon the transaction, the sale, of homes. And responsible banks and buyers get titles checked before they buy. And | Read More »
As Robert Heinlein put is so succintly, TANSTAAFL. Why Drill Here, Drill Now is not just a political slogan but necessary for the continuation of civilization as we know it and carbon taxes are the ruination of us all.

The Left always attacks its critics. Always. From the Clinton machine to Obama’s minions, the left has attacked every critic. Pelosi calls concerned citizens, many of them democrats, nazis. The administration tells its people to “punch back twice as hard.” This is against private, albeit loosely organized, citizens. Joe the Plumber was investigated and his private information used against him. The press pilloried him for | Read More »
Neither did I. And the powers that be don’t want you to know either. Have you seen how these “health care” bills are written? Or the existing regulations? During the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church was in charge. All power was based on God’s approval. And only the priesthood could read Latin…. Similarly, the mullahs do the same thing in the muslim world. The Koran | Read More »
What is it that the Left promises? Yes, I know, but free energy from unicorn farts IS mythical. Well, then again, so is most of what the Left says is mythical…..but I digress.

Obama wants to “fix” our ENTIRE system. Yet, he won’t touch Medicare, unless its to gut it of money to pay for HIS plan. He wants to hand over hour health system to the same idiots that do piecemeal planning like this in order to “save money”.
