This is REALLY How to Win the Next Election…Truth be Told
By: checkmate2012 (Diary) | March 24th at 08:38 AM |
If any Republican would stand up and tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, we would win every election from here on out. And getting the liberal vote would be a piece of cake. Why? Because admitting that the system is rigged against every day Americans would be monumental (I hate the term middle-class since we didn’t have a caste system until the last two elections). | Read More »
Israel to Obama: We Won’t Get Fooled Again
By: checkmate2012 (Diary) | March 22nd at 05:29 PM |
Only a narcissist would believe that he deserves the faux outpouring of love and admiration this week from the Jewish state after years of his outright disrespect for them that stretched beyond the basic tenants of good statesmanship. As usual, the MSM and Lefty press are calling his speech historic and the best speech ev-ah given by any man on Earth. After receiving Israel’s Presidential Medal of Distinction Thursday, becoming the | Read More »

“You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” – Rahm Emanuel What a famous and telling quote and one this administration seems to not only practice as gospel but seems culpable in creating a crisis in order to get things done. The exception to their imagination is | Read More »
The 5% Have Spoken and The 315 Million Citizens are Irrelevant (updated)

(Updated to include a link to the History of U.S. Immigration Law and to highlight The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA), enacted in 1996, that lists many of the same ideas being discussed today…17 years later) I don’t pretend to know all the ins and outs of immigration laws so this is based upon the knowledge I have and perceptions by observation. | Read More »
Organizing for America- Is this BHO’s “Civilian National Security Force”?
By: checkmate2012 (Diary) | January 20th at 01:44 AM |
The transformation of a political campaign organization, Obama for America, into a political action organization, Organizing for America, is really creepy and should be illegal. So Michelle O announces it in a video, Obama endorses it with an email and yet it is supposed to follow the IRS rules, of a 501(c)4 organization. From breitbart.com, http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/01/18/Obama-campaign-becomes-lobbying-group, “a 501(c)4 organization can have lobbying on legislation as its primary purpose, “The | Read More »
Accountability Dodgeball…Not a Game for Weaklings or Whiners
By: checkmate2012 (Diary) | January 18th at 05:24 PM |
Our government has failed us miserably. The debt is out of this world due to phony accounting gimmicks that should send many Congressmen the way of Bernie Madoff or Bernie Ebbers*, special interest deals both internally and externally within the Executive Branch and Congress, and a multitude of other acts of malfeasance that must keep our founding fathers turning like a rotisserie chicken in their graves. The | Read More »
Congrats to the 112th Congress! The Worst Ever…
By: checkmate2012 (Diary) | December 29th at 10:09 PM |
For those that think I jest about gridlock, well I’m not joking. Call me crazy if you will. Many stories abound on the news and on-line media that this is the worst Congress ever; just do a search on “bills passed in the 112th Congress” and you’ll get all kinds of opinions that this 112th Congress was the least productive ever: *According to a Huffington Post review | Read More »
It’s Time to Play TRUTH or DARE!
By: checkmate2012 (Diary) | December 24th at 07:08 AM |
TRUTH or DARE! Such a silly game some of us played as children that in the end, had no real consequences beyond embarrassment. Unfortunately it’s not a joke watching our elected leaders play chicken with our lives. It’s also not surprising since most of them only care about their next election so they’ll do just about anything, including obfuscate, exaggerate, and outright lie, in order | Read More »
A Societal Conundrum in America
By: checkmate2012 (Diary) | December 9th at 06:40 AM |
Why is it that in our sophisticated society we don’t have blueprint for economic success? It occurred to me that we have rules, theorems, how-to’s, etc. for everything except how to keep our economy thriving (a major exception is perhaps how to be a good parent or if one is ready to be one so let’s leave that aside). This seems so basic that a 5th grader | Read More »
What if Apple was called Lemon? What’s in a name? And is it Time for a Change?

Did you know that Google search engine was originally called BackRub? Hmm, that’s weird. First, a couple words about our circular firing squad- STOP IT! We started this nonsense in the primary and are continuing it after our loss while the left is laughing at us all the way to the presidency. Sure I had my moments of spite a few days ago with my, | Read More »
