The Second Amendment to the Constitution is not the answer. It’s not the answer to the debate we are having about guns and gun control. Conservatives should no longer spend time invoking it. I’m not really joking. I think it might be important to note that I am a full supporter of the Second Amendment. Lest you wish mental daggers besiege me, ultimately the best | Read More »
We heard Chris Christie bellow about the delay in Hurricane Sandy relief, ”It’s why the American people hate Congress. Unlike the people in Congress, we have actual responsibilities.” While the Governor was right, I think the moment Christie blamed the GOP House he completely missed the reason why people hate Congress: It’s not when our Congress stops for a responsibility check that’s the problem, it’s that it had | Read More »
I didn’t want a tax hike of any sort. I’ve said before the thinking of higher taxes creating revenue is a fallacy. Though for full disclosure, it’s the spending that’s the issue and this was going to be a tough road for Republicans after the 2012 elections. Watching the fiscal cliff negotiations was a ‘hope-against-hope’ proposition for me. I’m a Minnesota Vikings fan so it has been a long | Read More »
I don’t think liberals are actually racist. I don’t think liberals intend to perpetuate racism. The reality is, intentional or not, liberals are guilty of racism. I’m sure if you were to ask a liberal, they’d be aghast at the assertion. Yet, when a liberal applies different standards to a liberal minority than is applied to a conservative minority, it’s certainly something. It’s important to set | Read More »
It’s easy to declare the massacre in Newton Connecticut as an act of pure evil. It’s easy to lay blame on the weapon. It’s easy to react in emotional absolutes to such an awful tragedy. The brass tacks answer, if there is one, is found in the complexities and the frailties of the human condition. It’s easy to make simple and absolute declarations but I’m | Read More »
It’s rare that I see a display of total and utter idiocy as the reaction to the Michigan Right-to-Work vote as ginned up by the unions. To be uncharacteristically blunt, it’s also no excuse to be a dumb ass. Yet, dumb assery is what happened For those that lived under a rock (or watch the Main Steam Media), union members took it upon themselves to | Read More »
To mix metaphors, Republicans are going to have to fall on some sword with this whole fiscal cliff jazz. All of us Conservatives would like to hold firm to not raising taxes. Reality it is, it ain’t gonna happen. Deal with it. Give the President what he wants on a tax hike. Just give it too him. Be done with it. Lest you think I am | Read More »
Boycotts are for sore losers. Sure, it makes sense if you don’t agree with someone out in the market, talk with the purse. It makes sense. Money is a powerful tool. As the saying goes; hit ‘em where it hurts, in the wallet. I wouldn’t argue that it’s all well and good that boycotts can be an tool for sociopolitical statements. I’m just not so | Read More »
When Hollywood gets behind something, you know. Particularly if it’s political. I suppose the beautiful people feel they are doing something important and serious. The reality is, if Hollywood wants to do topical entertainment, it’s done with all the subtlety of a hand grenade. Such is the case for the upcoming Matt Damon, John Krasinski melodrama, Promised Land. Underlying the film’s plot is an assertion | Read More »
This union stuff is a sticky wicket. Having written quite recently about allowing unions to just fade away to the darkness of irrelevancy, it would seem weird that I would want to write about union workers. Yet, here I go. To be honest, this was precipitated by a Twitter post wherein the tweet composer stated; it didn’t matter how great teachers are if we are being pick | Read More »
