Perhaps the most under asked question is; why is there a need for a cease fire between Israel and Hamas? Before giving the impression of a warmonger, I am not suggesting that hostilities continue. Not at all. I am wondering if the recent fighting should have been occurring at all? The last four years have left Israel withering on the vine. A nation having to | Read More »
Try this completely non-scientific experiment. Answer this simple question: What does the GOP actually stand for? Have an overflow of answers? A nice list of solid conservative principles? Your psyche brimming with a litany of reasons why it’s awesome being a Conservative Republican? That’s the problem. “I like to watch the Fox News Channel when things go badly for Republicans, so I’ve been watching the Fox | Read More »
With the re-election of President Obama, it appears that Unions have deemed it true that a collective bargaining renaissance has arrived. We have strikes abounding. Could it be the great revival of the strong union label? Not likely. Twinkie (aka Hostess) was called back to the bargaining table by a bankruptcy judge. While it would appear that the judge was siding with the union, the | Read More »
Words are the tools by which a great leader can move a nation, a people or an idea. The power of words, even a single word, can be both the inspiration for greatness or the accelerant of our greatest evils. Words can be the intoxication of wonderment and the damning of our worst impulse. Yet the value of a word in these modern days is | Read More »
It’s pretty clear from the post election Conservative fits that the Republican Party is going to fail at capturing minority votes. Just downright fail. As much as I hope against hope the party will alert itself to the growing minority population, we are destined to be old white guys. I’m not even that old. Middle aged perhaps. Since the election, I’ve seen much talk about | Read More »
For those, perhaps astutely, living under a rock; Nicole ‘Snooki‘ Polizzi was a star on the MTV semi-juggernaut, The Jersey Shore. A reality TV show about aimless young adults wasting time on the Jersey shore, trying to do as little with their lives as possible. This passes for interesting. In contrast, we have C-SPAN. By week, a means by which we can watch politicians drone on while in | Read More »
There is every possibility this could irritate some. At least I hope so. Have you said to either yourself or to others that you are not voting for MItt Romney? That you won’t vote for him because he is not your ideal of a Republican candidate? If so, get over it. Listen, I love Reagan as much as anyone. He got my very first Presidential | Read More »
Not so long ago, I wrote about Obama’s fecklessness. In this, I largely detailed some historical information about how unpopular and poorly received he was as a college lecturer, his failure in Benghazi and his poor debate performance. This is not headline maker stuff but worth discussing. After reflecting a little about this, I realized that I left out so much. So much that makes President Barack Obama the definition of feckless. The | Read More »
Andrew Sullivan is hoping for attention. That’s the best I can assume. Who is Andrew Sullivan? He is a writer for the Daily Beast and a columnist for the (London) Sunday Times. He purports to be a Conservative but at many turns, that appears to be questionable. What’s the deal with Sullivan? He has advanced a theory about the white ‘Mitt’ vote being the new Confederacy, “I think | Read More »
Of course I don’t agree with Paul Krugman. I’m a Republican. I’m not supposed to. I’d like to think it’s not just blind partisanship but if I’m honest, it’s a little partisan. The difference; Krugman, in all his Nobel Laureate-ness, is all partisan. This is the great flaw of Paul Krugman, he has forsaken scientific methods for liberal touchy-feeliness but wrapped in an officious affectation. On a | Read More »
