Deaf elephants refused to lock the grid If the din of acts of civil American Drive In obedience in January doesn’t penetrate the big ears of Congressional elephants, we will have no choice but to finally resort to conservative MLK-like civil disobedience against the Dumbo in the White House, aka President Barack Hussein Obama, and those Republicans and dog-eared Dems on Capitol Hill that are | Read More »
And I don’t mean a chicken in every pot given the proliferation of beans, franks and store brand peas’ diets (Le Sueur peas still too expensive, but we can dream…) Speaking of dreams, several of the poultry-related R.E.M., USC type came true in Omaha, Columbia and Gainesville before this year’s Turkey Day, but I digress…(at least until later in this column) ObamaDems Year of the Chicken stretches | Read More »
View from Gamecock’s Roost on Stone Mountain of Georgia In the aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy by a communist in Dallas exactly 47 years ago today, the liberal press (redundant even then, I know) blamed a Southern “atmosphere of violence” rather than the perpetrator. The death of the rabid anti-Communist and supply-side tax-cutter ushered in the takeover of the Democratic Party by | Read More »
How to emasculate the investment incentive of supply side tax cuts Debate rages hot and heavy in the halls of Congress among lame and limping Democrat ducks desperately and bitterly clinging to their class envy gods with guns who demand that taxes be raised on “the rich.” It seems the thrice-passed tax rates during the 2000s are set to expire yet again, which rates as | Read More »
Since the 1973 Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade, pro-Abortion Democrats have sought votes by warning of Republicans that want to “get in your bedroom” while they invaded your wallet and every other room of your house and workplace. Now, the leader of the increasingly Less-Free World wants to get you into a public bedroom for three-on-ones should you dare exercise your right to | Read More »
The presumptive Speaker of the House of Representatives to ABC in the aftermath of the 2010 Republican landslide election: DIANE SAWYER: But you’re not gonna declare this way or the highway, at this point? JOHN BOEHNER: It’s only been 48 hours since the election. I do think that — my job is to listen to the American people That’s right Mr. Speaker, you work for We | Read More »
Halloween view of Election 2010 from Stone Mountain of Georgia “Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!” – Martin Luther King, Jr. This conservative Republican looked for two silver linings after the election of Barack Obama as President and the filibuster-proof majorities of his Democratic Party: The re-education of a majority | Read More »
Effect of D.C. party policies on the economy outweigh state policies and voting for “the man” Even as a young Democrat in the 1980s, I disagreed with former Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill’s supposed axiom, no matter one’s definition of “local”. Then, as now, Democrats were facing an electorate suffering the consequences of policies enacted by their super-majorities in both houses of Congress and | Read More »
Columbus discovered us, and thank God for it Happy Columbus Day! And yes, there are good reasons to be happy. For 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 in 1492 as essential and as Exhibit A for proof of the reasons we became the Shining City | Read More »
ObamaDems can’t make low income borrowers their policy beneficiaries also be the victims of lenders As another Election Day nears, so does the need for another failed super-majority of Democrats to demonize business as a scapegoat for the recessionary results of their liberal policies. Hence, this week’s attempts by President Barack Obama and his party to blame “predatory lenders” and un-notarized statements for the recent | Read More »
Rushing to challenge Obama theology results in less than excellent broadcasting No one has been more eager than a certain Southern Baptist rooster to discredit the confession of Jeremiah Wright’s Hate America Church whose pews parked Obama butts for twenty years. Rush Limbaugh has been invaluable in this regard since we first witnessed Trinity United’s proud display tapes of the President’s former congregation rising in | Read More »
The Elephant in the room is a Donkey, from the author of Drawl and that’s all: The Myth of the Moderate Democrat You know election day is near when Democrats run from their liberal records. This is especially so when, as now and in 1980, Americans are suffering under the natural consequences of their previous election day votes that put a Democrat in the White | Read More »
Auburn-Clemson battle best we’ve seen in recent memory We highlighted this game between our in-state rival and Alabama’s equivalent last week as a test of the reputation of the ACC. Despite Clemson’s 24-27 overtime loss, we think they at least established themselves as a top-tier team given their control of the line of scrimmage and the valiant performance of their QB, Kyle Parker. Parker, the | Read More »
The ObamaDem criminalization of our cultural, political and economic life ALBANY, Ga. — U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop Jr., D-Albany, gave his definition of the word “politics” to the Kiwanis Club of Dougherty County at a luncheon Monday at the Hilton Garden Inn. “Politics is all about who gets what, when and how,” Bishop said. Americans not yet schooled in the evils of symbolic speech, burned | Read More »
Cockstradamus returned from his Azores sabbatical to correctly pick 12 of 16 college and 9 of 16 pro football games last week, including our USC Fighting Gamecocks 17-6 victory over the Georgia Bulldogs.

If only mosques would settle for burning Billy Graham books Instead, mosques inside the United States and abroad planned every lethal terrorist attack on innocent Americans inside the United States and abroad, both before and after September 11, 2001. You will usually find those stories on page A17 of the New York Times with no suggestion that their actions against America puts them in harm’s | Read More »

Less government union Labor per Day, please The original meanings of many American national holidays, including tomorrow’s Labor Day (originally celebrated on a Tuesday) with its and others removal to Mondays, have given way to the celebration of leisure, especially of the three-day weekend variety for federal employees. Most Americans will be thankful that their Obama Administration rulers will take 24 hours off from promulgating | Read More »
Why Democrats win elections and why lifeless Daniels truces won’t produce majority reports Since his 2008 re-election Governor Mitch Daniels has been, rightly, singularly focused on reducing the size of the Indiana state government; balancing its budget and pursuing policies that would attract business to the Hoosier State. Ronald Reagan would be proud of Daniels’ successful application of conservative principles at the state level as | Read More »
