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 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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
