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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
