I’m Not Voting for Mitt and Other Tommyrot
By: Jeff Swanson (Diary) | November 4th at 11:54 AM |
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 »
Obama the Feckless Redux
By: Jeff Swanson (Diary) | November 2nd at 12:32 AM |
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.

Andrew Sullivan’s Tomfoolery about Obama, Race and the Confederacy
By: Jeff Swanson (Diary) | October 30th at 11:24 PM |
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 »

Krugman’s Epic Fail
By: Jeff Swanson (Diary) | October 28th at 08:57 PM |
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 »
Argo, Iran, Benghazi and the Boomerang of History
By: Jeff Swanson (Diary) | October 28th at 07:22 AM |
Argo is the story of Antonio (Tony) Mendez, a CIA technical operations officer. In a way, he was the Intelligence version of a graphic designer. He was a forger, disguise maker and anything else that needed a crafty hand. The movie is about the escape crafted by Mendez to ‘exfil‘ a small group of embassy workers that escaped the Iranian student overtaking in 1979. Argo is | Read More »

Breitbart, Alinsky and Overcoming Political Correctness
By: Jeff Swanson (Diary) | October 25th at 09:09 PM |
We live in a liberal world. We conservatives like to say that the United States is a center right nation but, as Joe Biden says, that is malarkey. Within our homes, most of America lives by a center right credo. We do not, however, live a conservative public life. The national conversation has changed and it is a liberal world. Conservative ideas must be whispered | Read More »
