Can somebody please put to rest giving credit to Clinton for the economy in the late 90′s

    I was listening to Hannity tonight on the way home, and was listening to Tamara Holder debating some lady that was on the right side of the political spectrum, and I heard Tamara start singing the praises of Clinton for the economy in the 90′s.  Can we please get a few things straight about how Clinton and those times. 1.  Clinton inherited a time in | Read More »

    Thoughts about the same-sex marriage thing

    I was reading through the diary entry and post of one of the others here, and one of the respondents had asked the diarist to make a conservative arguement for “gay marriage” without using typical liberal talking points, getting into the religion conundrum, or just being downright insulting to social conservatives. My first point is for all of us to accept a definition of conservatism | Read More »

    Eugene Robinson, giving credit where credit is not due

    While I was at McDonalds, enjoying a nice Angus Burger, fries, and diet coke, I picked up my local rag, (Cincinnati enquirer), where I found this little gem talking about Obama’s “win streak”, I looked at this and felt the serious need to some truth to the garbage that this guy is spewing. To see the full article, you can go here, but I will | Read More »

    Who draws the short straw to fall on their sword.

    Listening to talk radio, Fox News, and the news in general, it appears that the Democrats are perilously close to having to make that decision. The question is which way is this going to go.  Will the progressives, allow their dream candidate in Obama to go down in flames in 2012, or are they willing to sacrifice the 2010 congressional dems like a master chess | Read More »

    I love it how I surprise people during primary season

    I just got done voting in the primaries here in Ohio, and let me tell you it went without fail that when I told the people my party registration, I got the gasp of surprise then the sigh of disappointment from one of the election workers.  This is the second time that this has happened to me, once in NJ and again out here in | Read More »

    Local area store closes, opens race-baiting door

    This past week, while driving my wife to work, and again this morning doing some shopping before I go down to officiate the Big East Track and Field Championships down at the University of Cincinnati, one of the big local stories in the Cincinnati-Metro area is the closing of the Kroger store in the Roselawn community.  Now as a conservative/libertarian type that I am, my visceral reaction | Read More »

    An amateur analysis of where we are going with Health Care

    Why can’t folks on the Democrat side of things be honest as to where this bill will ultimately lead within the time frame of about 8 to 10 years from this point?  I am sitting here listening to Cavuto and a Dem strategist is on talking about how right now this current bill puts insurance companies in a stronger position than they were before, probably due | Read More »

    Things I am getting tired of hearing

    This morning, after dropping my wife off at work today, I was listening to the Tom Joiner Morning Show on the radio (I was driving her car not mine, hence did not have any control of the radio), and they had Michael Steele on the phone interviewing him.  They were talking about the health care legislation, and I heard that tired old line of, “The | Read More »

    A couple of fears that I have

    I have been thinging through things the last day or so and I have a couple of fears that I would like to share with this community to see what they thing. My first fear is the whole healthcare thing.  The more I see of this debate, especially after the “bi-partisan” healthcare confrernce, I am wondering how much of this garbage can be repealed after | Read More »

    Can we stop the garbage of the GOP being the party of Big Business

    As I was eating my non Michelle Obama approved lunch at McDonalds, I picked up a paper that they offered and was treated to this article. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20100210/NEWS0108/2110316/1055/NEWS/This+time++money+flows+to+Driehaus This article pretty much states that Driehaus has outraised Chabot from a number of businesses in the area including Procter and Gamble in which Cincinnati is home base for them.  Of course this made me cringe on so | Read More »

    Is Chris Matthews trying to save what’s left of his credibility

    I just got done watching the clip on Eric Brockaway’s RedHot where Chris Matthews is interviewing Alan Grayson and is pretty much telling Grayson that he is either living in fantasy land or pandering letfy netroots in stating that they are going to attempt to fight for a health care bill through reconciliation.  I also saw a few days back, I don’t remember exactly when | Read More »

    Obama’s green jobs fantasy land

    I listened to Obama’s economic statement today, and the only thing I could think of is Rodney Dangerfield, in Back to School when he is in the Business 101 class with his son, and when the professor is talking about making widgets, he screams, “Try Fantasyland”.  That was the only thing that came to my mind with his statement. The Fox news link is here: | Read More »

    If we are going to socialize health care, how about gun ownership too.

    I know that this won’t fly in anywhere but my own little fantasy land, but listening to the radio talking about the terrorist attach on the Detroit flight, and then thinking about the whole healthcare debate, I came up with this argument.  If we were to concede the arguement, (which I don’t), that health care is a right for every citizen, although it’s technically nowhere | Read More »

    Random observations of hypocrisy from the Left

    Came home from work today, and flicked on Fox and Glenn Beck was on, and this was my first observation.  Some Canadian editorial is talking about how there shouldn’t be an argument between Global Warming or Global Cooling, but that world overpopulation was the problem and that we should all be under a one child policy like that of China’s. Now, my first point of | Read More »

    The public option, the player is also the referee

    I was listening to of all things (MSNBC’s The Ed Show), and I could only listen to it for a total of 3.5 seconds when this idiot started talking about a public option that does not have a policy say would be more palateable. Which got me thinking about my football days. I played football for a Division 1-AA football team (AKA the Football Championship | Read More »

    Not the smartest Ivy Leaguer running the show

    I hold a bachelor’s degree in Economics and Business from a relatively small (some may call higher end) liberal arts college, and I look at all that Obama has proposed and done, and am shocked at how he thinks this economy is going to improve. I will list some of the policies below. 1. Taxes – It’s been proven time and time again, that when | Read More »

    Another non-apology apology from the news media.

    http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/10256766/Upon-further-review:-The-word-on-Rush I read this today at work, and just got more and more pissed off about the race-baiting, 21st century version of what happened in the 1950′s during the HUAC, and Hollywood blacklisting. The only difference is this time, instead of having someone come in front of a committee and either admit to, or denouce being a communist, you don’t even get a chance to | Read More »

    What about that third choice

    I remember reading somewhere I don’t know if it was here or on another blog site, about one of the ALinsky rules was to always argue that there are more than two choices.  For example, in Afghanistan, according to Obama, it is a false choice to either grant the requested troops, or get the hell out of Afghanistan, there is some third blurry choice that | Read More »

    Afghanistan, the way I see it

    Listening to the news in regards to Afganistan, and Obama and folks waffling around about sending more troops into it or not, really bothers me. Afghanistan, according to the debates was the war of necessity, and Iraq was the war of choice.  Now it seems that he and his people are trying anything to get an out of Afghanistan, yet split the baby and show | Read More »

    From Hero to zero in record time

    I was watching the only tolerable show on CNN tonight (that would be the Lou Dobbs show), since if I look at Shepard Smith or hear him for more than 10 minutes I find my self resisting the strong urge to put six holes in my TV, and they were discussing how some Democrats are pissed, because this bill is starting to get slanted to | Read More »
