Congressional Republicans should take President Obama up on his sudden concern for taking money out of the pockets of Americans, across the board. This past week, President Barack Obama defended his push for extending the federal payroll (Social Security/FICA) tax cuts for a second year and unemployment benefits for a third year, thusly: Independent economists, some of whom have in the past worked for Republicans, agree that if | Read More »
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: To ignore evil is to become an accomplice to it. …Someone else said “All that needs to happen for evil to prevail is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke) In the Election of 2010, tea partiers and conservatives sent the loudest message associated with the Grand Old Party of Lincoln since 1948. Hence, the aversion to nominating another McCain Establishment-type named Mitt Romney as | Read More »
[A post-Florida Gator-devouring USC gamecock's Stone Mountain of Georgia roost-view of his undergrad alma mater, Wofford College and Spartanburg hometown's hosting of the South Carolina, CBS/National Journal, Republican Party presidential debate] Let the Big Dog eat! The motto of Wofford Terriers’ (pictured) sports teams is “Let the Big Dog eat!”, and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich looked like the Big Dog eating away at GOP | Read More »
An unnatural, liberal-Democrat, trial lawyer, intimidation-machine culture, defined deviancy (Woodstock, OWS) down; made the outrageous (Ayers, Rev. Wright, Minister Farrakhan) normal; made the normal (Cain gestures) outrageous; and re-classified Clintonian assault & battery and extortion as mere “harassment”. Decades ago, women entered an American workforce in which men were regularly harassed and offended. To live on Earth is to be regularly offended and harassed. The | Read More »
Herman Cain endures Beltway economic ignorance and poor legal advice on non-disclosure agreements from The Center Seat on FNC’s Special Report, The Panel segment, on Tuesday This time, Americans want a man with courage to implement the values and principles that might just save America, rather than a Barbie Doll that gives all the lawyered-up, Beltway-approved “right” answers. Americans are amenable to a normal conversation | Read More »
Appeasement of Iran, including abandonment of Iraq, leaves U.S. less safe under Obama despite killings of Osama bin Laden, al-Awlaki and Gadaffy. We can’t kill all the bad guys, deterrence is paramount America is obviously safer when terrorists are neutralized and President Barack Obama deserves credit for the high profile killings of terrorist leaders at his direction. Moreover, his statements in the aftermath of the | Read More »
Wasn’t TARP supposed to take care of these troubled assets? Tired of illegal immigration divorced from love of the English language, the Declaration of Independence, and personal independence from welfare and anchor babies? Well, build a fence, but in the meantime, how about an idea that increases legal immigration and does what TARP was supposed to do. Chuch Schumer as Fred Sanford Mike Lee as Aunt | Read More »
Personal hygiene and message of those now occupying Atlanta, stinks, literally and figuratively Downtown Atlanta has had a homeless and panhandling problem, to varying degrees, for the past ten years that I have lived here in the birthplace of Martin Luther King, Jr. But never have the poorest of the poor in the City too Busy to Hate stunk it up with self-indulgent entitlement whining | Read More »
Cain wins Nevada GOP debate 3400 to 999, Perry loses cool Garden-gate attack on Mitt Romney and inappropriate show of temper may make Rick Perry wish his performance could have stayed in Vegas by the time the next polls are conducted. But Herman Cain heartened anti-Romney conservative hearts by offering a blockbuster alternative to RomneyCare and/or ObamaCare with a call for interstate competition in the health care industry. | Read More »
Democrats from President Obama on down just can’t give up toxic identity politics when trying to get elected, pass legislation, or even when dedicating a memorial to the nations’ preeminent civil rights leader. But then again, Martin Luther King Jr. never left the Grand Old Party of Lincoln. Can anyone remember the last public policy proposal by a Democrat that argued the merits of the | Read More »
The 29% ceiling on Romney’s support was erected by him, not Southern Evangelicals Bachmanns and Perrys come and Bachmanns and Perrys go, but Mitt never gets the leftovers, no matter how much he raises Cain. And don’t be fooled by the recent semantic flap over “Christians” and “cults”. Even Reverend Jeffress admitted that he would vote for Mormon Romney over Christian President Barack Obama. Religion is the least of Mitt’s problems with all Republican voters | Read More »
Reagan’s tax rate cuts that returned America to prosperity were deemed “unrealistic” voodoo economics at this stage of his campaign. Herman Cain sticks another needle in that voodoo doll! President Ronald Reagan’s voodoo not only passed, but worked. Vice President George H.W. Bush gave up voodoo detection until he rode Reagan’s coattails to office and passed a lobbyist/establishment friendly tax hike that betrayed lip reading. | Read More »
Neither Incas, Aztecs, Cherokee or even Kenyans discovered Italy, Spain or India! We should get down on our knees and thank God that Columbus discovered the New World so that Americans could later fashion a new world of Liberty. The chain of events that resulted in the creation and evolution of the greatest nation the world has even known includes the discoveries of Christopher Columbus | Read More »
Of cults and Christians This religious right Southern Baptist Christian gamecock from South Carolina now perched atop his Stone Mountain of Georgia roost was an early supporter of Mitt Romney in 2008 and thinks he would be a great president beginning in 2013. Yet, Romney’s Mormon Church was founded precisely because its adherents disagreed with Protestants and Catholics on the doctrine of the nature of | Read More »
Conservatives no longer need worry about holding 60 senate seats after the 2012 election to save America. The Democrats have paved the way for easy repeal of ObamaCare and major reductions in the size of government by breaking decades of precedent and changing the rules by majority vote. There can be no more excuses for moderates to be moderate. The cooling saucer is no more and given | Read More »
Obama’s latest “jobs” proposals in context Democrats, as evidenced by their policy pursuits of the past 40 years, are simply not committed to the notion of maximizing happiness pursuits as defined by individual exercises of Liberty. Rather, they envision imposing their vision of happiness on individuals they deem to be too ignorant to discern what ought make them happy. We’re just too “soft” to get | Read More »
Prohibition, border crossings, adultery and the Rule of Law in practice The attacks against Governor Rick Perry’s support for in-state college tuition for illegals in Texas by his rivals for the Republican Party presidential nomination reveal a need for clarity on the issue of illegal immigration writ large. Most conservatives, including yours truly, opposed the Bush-McCain amnesty plan in the Summer of 2007 because it | Read More »
The businessman eschews semantics and revising history in favor of taking care of America’s business Is Social Security a Ponzi scheme? A “failure”? Who cares what one-word description best fits says Herman Cain. Leave such irrelevancies to politicians, academics and bloggers with time on their hands. He would rather be about the business of curing what ails America. Admittedly, it helps to have a record in | Read More »
Instead, Republicans need to reach out to all voters, regardless of race, and aggressively make the economic and, especially the moral case against Democrats and for the GOP. Since my 2000 conservative epiphany, after 18 years an activist and official of the Democratic Party, I have been adamant in encouraging my grand new party to reach out to Blacks and take the gloves off in defending | Read More »
“But Congressman, are you saying that society should just let them die?” - Wolf Blitzer, CNN While Mitt Romney and Rick Perry indulged in strained Social Security/Ponzi scheme analogies at least week’s Republican debate, Blitzer’s loaded question and Ron Paul’s actual answer revealed much about what divides so many Americans and prevents policy solutions in health care and other areas: PAUL: No. I practiced medicine before we | Read More »
