[In honor of Al Gore's recent nervous breakdown, this piece I wrote on April 29, 2009 on Townhall blog seems to be appropriate. I thought I'd share it with you.] pathos 1 : an element in experience or in artistic representation evoking pity or compassion 2 : an emotion of sympathetic pity – Merriam-Webster Dictionary Following the tumultuous presidential election of 2000, Al Gore was | Read More »
Societies develop rules and laws and programs to get people to live together peacefully, prosper, and create vital environments for the next generation. That’s perfectly fine. However, what we are seeing is the fruit of one misguided progressive experiment after another. These ideas are destroying people’s lives, their initiative, and are making our country a worse place. Instead of allowing institutions like churches, charities, neighborhoods, | Read More »
According to the Politico, “Biden, driven by his Democratic allies’ misgivings about the debt-limit deal, responded: “They have acted like terrorists,” according to several sources in the room.” So, tough negotiating has now been designated terrorism. They have decided there is no level of rhetoric too hot. There is no position in this government respectable enough that it will not use the most vicious, vile | Read More »
The Progressive/Socialist wing of the Democratic Party is in a funk. They are feeling blue. Their shiny new president isn’t proving to being adept at much of anything. In Minnesota the face of their party is a refugee from ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.’ Their dominance in state politics is over. Their message of ‘eat the rich’ and then the kind of rich and | Read More »
(This is from Rush Limbaugh’s radio show Friday July 29, 2011 and shamelessly borrowed from “The Right Scoop” because it bears repeating . . . over and over again) I guess this is what you get when your president is “Enfant Terrible.” I blame President Obama for the absolutely vicious attacks we are seeing upon the Tea Party and conservative independents. It shows just how | Read More »
[I posted this at Redstate because many of us across the country are going to see Senate elections next year with Democrats pretending to be moderates. We cannot allow those lies to go unchallenged.] There is a narrative being played in the Minnesota media that Sen. Amy Klobuchar is A. moderate and B. unbeatable. Neither of these is true. Senator Amy Klobuchar is not only | Read More »
“I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.” – Wimpy; The Democratic Party; Us “The Greatest Generation” is a term coined by Tom Brokaw in his book by the same name. He details the sacrifice and determination the World War II generation endured to help free the world from dictatorial oppression. While there are certainly weaknesses in his argument, that generation understood giving, sharing, | Read More »
It’s becoming all too apparent that President Obama and his sidekick Montgomery Burns look-alike Sen. Harry Reid aren’t even a teensy bit serious about tackling our deficits and debt. In a sideshow we can only look at and laugh, Reid proposed an alternative to the Boehner plan that includes cutting funding for Iraq and Afghanistan since we are leaving there. Trouble is, those so-called ‘cuts’ | Read More »
First, let’s get one thing straight. Our elected officials are having a discussion about our debt and deficits BECAUSE WE MADE THEM. This wasn’t an Obama plan. This wasn’t a Democratic Party dream. This wasn’t even on the establishment Republicans’ schedule. We are having a debt limit, debt problem, deficit battle royale because we MADE THEM do this. We have let the Party-run media warp | Read More »
This is a little summing up of the Great Minnesota Shutdown of 2011. It was a contrived experiment by the progressive/socialist wing of the Democratic Party to embarrass the productive class and shame them into voting for Democrats again. Instead the whole thing just blew back in their faces and they ended up looking like fools. What finally took them down as a bureaucratic mix-up | Read More »
