Rule #1: If Shepard Smith and Anderson Cooper can get a microphone and cameraman in front of a Hurricane victim, then FEMA should have already had them back in a dry home with electricity and cable TV. As of Noon on Day Three after Hurricane Sandy’s landfall, the death toll stands at 55 and over four million residents remain without electric power. All this, despite | Read More »
First Black President to be fired threw MLK under the bus before his inauguration Since our Summer of 2001 conversion to the GOP, after nearly 20 years a Democratic Party activist and official, we laid claim to Martin Luther King’s character content dream as belonging to our fellow conservatives. What else could one conclude when, more than 35 years after passage of civil and voting | Read More »
…and even they have to buy gasoline at the President’s preferred pumped up prices The Liberal Case against the re-election of President Barack Obama Reality started mugging this future former liberal Democrat early in my adult political life. It occurred after months of exhilarating 1980 campaign work with Young Democrats for Carter when the President’s Republican opponent asked a simple question in his closing statement of | Read More »
Obamacare Lobbyist-in-Chief urges Obama to better feel voters’ pain while other Democrats demand get tough strategy The world changed for non-Democrats before the 2010 GOP election landslide, but since Pew, Gallup and Rasmussen only yesterday counted the right beans, Democrats and inside the beltway Republicans only just now joined the rest of us: President Barack Obama is getting conflicting advice on how to rebound from his | Read More »
Re-election of Barack Obama would hand over the future to those that punish with death the worship of any God whose “prophet” is not Mohammad An open mike in Seoul revealed a re-elected President Obama poised to gut Reagan’s missile defense that reduced the evil Soviet Union empire to the borders of Vladimir Putin’s Russia, but hasn’t his pre-election “flexibility”, including the moral equivalence between Holocaust-deniers and | Read More »
President Barack Hussein Obama is no James Earl Carter Before “extremists” overthrew the America’s ally in the Shah of Iran, then President Carter signaled his willingness, and even desire, to work with the Ayatollah Khomeini, since he was a “religious” man. Before the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, Carter famously chided his fellow Americans for their “inordinate fear” of Communism. But, unlike the Citizen of the World | Read More »
I guess the private sector was doing fine then too, since the poor got to hear periodic fireside chats on the latest anti-business experiment Last night during his indoor speech accepting the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party in Charlotte, we finally got the non-Hope & Change truth from Barack Obama: And the truth is, it will take more than a few years for us to solve | Read More »
But didn’t Democrat Obama inherit “the mess” from Republican Bush and haven’t congressional Republicans obstructed Obama’s recovery agenda? This is how a Democratic Party, with no Gene McCarthy (pictured), feels compelled to frame re-election issues given a failed incumbent with no record of popular achievements to run on. At least LBJ declined to run and Ted Kennedy challenged Carter in 1980, but I digress. It | Read More »
Massive outpouring of adulation for Reagan at the time of his death and funeral shamed most Leftist Democrats and Drive-by media into sharing credit with Reagan for the fall of the Evil Empire.

Vang Pao spent most of his 79 years putting his life on the line against communists even after Democrats in Congress betrayed Laos in 1975 I understand why the Nobel Committee award their most prestigious award to President Barack Obama. He has brought peace to many, especially including communists, fascists and terrorist sheltering dictators from Venezuela to Libya to Iran. The fear that an American cowboy | Read More »
[Update] In my eight years as a converted conservative Republican, op-ed newspaper columnist and blogger, I have been continually frustrated with my political allies’ seeming blindness to or reluctance to acknowledge the fact of, obvious admissions by our liberal Democrat opponents on matters that we deem crucially important to our case against them. During the recent Presidential campaign I was frequently beside myself as I | Read More »
The road to PC police Hell was paved with good White Guilt intentions. The Road from ObamaGates Hell was paved by Obama’s election. The fact of the election of a Black man by an overwhelmingly Caucasian nation purges the long misplaced white guilt and with it, indulgences for ObamaGates race cards. For at least the past 25 years, most Americans have been living a post-racial | Read More »
Will Obama passover the plague of terrorism in Egypt? Apologies for the tortured paraphrase of Rameses II oft repeated defiant commands in between plagues The God of Moses visited upon Egypt until Pharaoh let his people go in The Ten Commandments.

A diabetic with learning disabilities, raised by a single mother in a South Bronx neighborhood, rose to the top of elite Ivy League universities. Lawyer Sotomayor was then given the power to prosecute criminal defendants and, for the past 17 years has wielded the gavel of a trial court judge before judging trial court judges from the second highest court in the land; apparently, if | Read More »
A Hundred Days? Waiting one more day won’t make President Barack Obama an FDR any more than waiting 901 days will make him JFK. One might as well wait for flu-ravaged pigs to fly over NYC. We are to fear everything and everybody on Earth except Obama, Obama’s creations, those Obama affirms via apologies or otherwise, and foreign man-made disaster causers (formally known as terrorists) | Read More »
From the diaries by Erick. Would Usama bin Laden and KSM (pictured, who gave up intel that saved LA from its 911 thanks to waterboarding), Iran’s Mullahs and MembersOnlyJacket-ijad, and Kim Jung Il prefer that CIA agents fear prosecution by succeeding administrations for the carrying out of lawfully given interrogation orders?

As promised, I will soon post a complete survey of the perilous Obama post-pirate Presidency (O.P.P.P) that America now faces, including a more complete review of the | Read More »
But I am disappointed that my beloved Redstate hasn’t acknowledged the President’s good judgment in this matter and that so many here have used the occasion of an American success to make the perfect the enemy of the good even though this matter was resolved pretty darn close to perfectly. Well, I don’t like echo chambers anyway, so… Thank you President Barack Obama for your | Read More »
