Raised by Democrats, young, single, female, living in New York City, reading the NY Times, and making a living in the arts, after voting against Bush twice and railing against him for most of 7 years, I registered as a Republican, voted for McCain in the primary and took the unprecedented step of actively supporting him throughout the General Election. Was it because the GOP | Read More »
Romney’s mention of Big Bird pays brilliant dividends as Obama self inflicts a possibly fatal wound and doesn’t even know it. For all the disadvantages of having most of the print and televised media firmly in the tank for the Democrats – there are also a lot of silver linings. For example: Liberal media holds Republicans accountable (I suspect if one were to tabulate the | Read More »
The Obama campaign self inflicts a quite possibly fatal wound — and doesn’t even know it. For all the griping about the liberal media (which is valid) it’s easy to miss the silver linings that come with having most members of certain types of media hating us, our party, and all for which we stand. For one thing the liberal media holds Republicans accountable. If | Read More »
Our persistently crowded field could easily be the start of Romney’s undoing. Not to trivialize the matter but as we head into the next round of contests, I’m reminded of the Broncos in their final regular season game. They lost and, if the Raiders beat the Chargers, would’ve been out of the playoffs. But the Chargers won, and instead it was the Raiders who were | Read More »
What is a conservative? A few years ago I probably would’ve answered that a conservative was someone who is pro-life, pro-gun, & in favor of less regulation, low taxes, a free market economy, a strong defense, and stiff criminal justice laws. Now I’m inclined to see “conservative” as one of those amorphous terms that can be manipulated to mean whatever the base wants it to | Read More »
A teacher friend of mine who’s incredibly passionate about her job, told me a story that – better than anything else I’ve heard or seen- illustrates what an Obama Presidency means to the black community. She told of several formerly problem kids who’d had no goals, no work ethic, kids who literally were planning to just collect welfare, who overnight became inspired to study – to try | Read More »
Earlier today I walked past a couple of signs. The first said “Capitalism We Have A Problem” and the second “Make Love Not Capitalism” and thought how typical this was of anti-capitalist sentiment. The message is clear: capitalism is bad, evil, uncool, etc. communism/socialism is cool. It’s the romantic unexplored, rebellious, compassionate road not taken (never mind that it has been taken over and over and never with good results) but | Read More »
Another Bambi Diary. This one I wrote awhile back. It’s less topical now than it was – but hopefully y’all will still get it. My mom loves it – but it is rather goofy. ( I am a clown, after all) Dear New York Times, I have discovered the secrets of weight loss and wellness – please publish them immediately because I know your | Read More »
Dear New York Times, I’ve never been so outraged as when that ignorant South Carolina cracker Wilson insulted our President. I could’ve bashed his head in. How dare he interrupt Obama’s speech! How dare he accuse him of lying. Obama, of course, was lying but that isn’t the point. It’s a matter of respect . It’s a matter of decorum. Republicans are all bringing up Democrats booing George W. Bush during his State of the | Read More »
Everyone remembers what they were doing when they learned of the most devastating attack in our history and how they felt in the days that followed. When people are murdered some say their spirit does not rest. It stays earthbound and cries out for justice. I’ve never really believed that but going down to the visit the sight of the worst terrorist attack in our history | Read More »
