Obamanomics – Playing with Numbers
By: cmndr45 (Diary) | September 22nd at 04:28 PM |
Releasing the “great news” that the “recession is over” just weeks before the 2010 mid-term elections does not come as a surprise to veteran political observers – we knew Obama and the Democrats were bound to try something, ANYTHING, to hold back the anti-incumbent tide that is sweeping the country. But wait, we have unemployment at 10% (with the real number closer to 17%), the | Read More »
Redefining “Extreme”
By: cmndr45 (Diary) | September 20th at 12:06 PM |
No one who has closely followed the American media will be surprised by the ever-increasing use of the word “extreme” in what are ostensibly “news” stories. But don’t look for that label to ever be attached to Democrats, or to any left-leaning group for that matter. You see, in the world of today’s ever more left-wing mainstream media, the term “extreme” is almost exclusively applied | Read More »
Democrat Stategy for 2010 Mid-Terms
By: cmndr45 (Diary) | September 16th at 01:53 PM |
Republicans who are already contemplating what sort of drapes they will hang in their new offices should be forewarned – Democrats will not go quietly into the night. But in the face of an almost tsunami-like wave of anger and disgust at the Obama administration and Congress, what can Democrats possibly do to turn the tide? They will do what Democrats have always done – | Read More »
Making Excuses for Violence
By: cmndr45 (Diary) | September 13th at 09:27 AM |
The discussion surrounding both the building of a mosque in the vicinity of Ground Zero and the announcement by an obscure preacher of his intent to burn a number of Qur’ans has illuminated the huge double standard that exists in how the media portrays various reactions to supposedly “offensive” acts. This is nothing new – for decades the American Left has told us how we | Read More »
The Road to Economic Recovery – Cut. Cut. Cut.
By: cmndr45 (Diary) | September 9th at 11:47 AM |
One of the most frustrating things that Americans have to endure is the seeming inability of the average legislator to grasp the obvious solutions to our economic woes. The issues are well known, the root causes are clearly understood – or at least they should be. But our elected officials seem unable, or unwilling, to take the steps that will fix the problem. One is | Read More »
Environmental Jihadist Attacks Discovery Channel
By: cmndr45 (Diary) | September 2nd at 11:40 AM |
Here we go again. James J. Lee, a militant, environmentalist lunatic, steeped in Left-Wing dogma, goes berserk, taking hostages at the offices of the Discovery Channel. After a four hour standoff, he was shot and killed by a police sniper. Thankfully, all of the hostages escaped unharmed. And the mainstream media coverage? Almost completely sanitized to hide his political agenda. Even FOX News scrambled to | Read More »
Ignoring the Obvious – How Government Screws Up (Almost) Everything
By: cmndr45 (Diary) | August 31st at 02:34 PM |
From the soaring cost of health care to out-of-control illegal immigration, the actual sources of our nation’s problems are persistently ignored – making real solutions all but impossible. Because unless we deal with the underlying causes of our fiscal problems, we will never be able to effectively make the changes we so desperately need. Take the hoards of illegals streaming across our Southern border. While | Read More »
It Ain’t About Lead…or Even Guns
By: cmndr45 (Diary) | August 30th at 10:33 AM |
The recent announcement that the EPA will not go through with their outrageous plan to ban lead bullets has been inaccurately portrayed in the media as an example of the agency “surrendering” to the NRA. More likely, the EPA’s decision was the result of a frantic call from the Whitehouse. Because the reality is that the American people have made it clear that they do | Read More »
Facing Fiscal Reality – Why We Can’t “Git ‘er Done”
By: cmndr45 (Diary) | August 27th at 01:31 PM |
Since a clear majority of Americans seem to finally comprehend the perilous economic situation confronting our country, a number of people have asked me, why is it that no one seems to have the guts to actually talk about real solutions? My response was simple: “because any politician who tells the American people the cold, hard truth will never get elected.” Contrary to the claims | Read More »
Lawsuit Larceny – Why Work When You Can Sue?
By: cmndr45 (Diary) | August 24th at 11:51 AM |
We have become accustomed to seeing greedy plaintiffs attempting to cash in on even the most trivial inconvenience, let alone genuine tragedies. But if you had any doubt that America’s lawsuit lunacy has gotten completely out of control, you need only read the headline in Monday’s Minneapolis StarTribune: “Minneapolis Will Pay $165,000 to Zombies” This utterly ridiculous state of affairs grew out of a stunt | Read More »
