Attending my first GOP caucus as a participant was an exciting experience. I had some butterflies going in because I wouldn’t know anyone there and it was something new. The experience was quite different from what I had expected. I’d like to flesh out my overall impressions a little more fully. For those who are old hands at caucuses, this may seem to be a | Read More »
There is a school of thought among some ‘conservatives’ that if we are just nicer, and more compliant, and try and get along better with others, we will be successful. Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana said we should have a moratorium on social issues because we are perceived as too mean. David Brooks argues we should incrementally work with his boyfriend Pres. Obama to get | Read More »
Politics is an ugly business and these dedicated crypto-socialists are especially brutal. After all, they are so ‘right’ they cannot be held to bourgeoise standards of decency, honesty, and integrity. These ‘proles’ have a right to riot, lie, scream, cheat, and steal to get their way. That’s because they are so maligned, oppressed, cheated, and downtrodden. It is only fair they use Machiavellian tactics in | Read More »
I really do think we should start calling it that. Democracy is at its root the people governing themselves. We simply use a representative system of agents to go to our seats of government and make laws and administer things we cannot do ourselves. The very essence of our parties’ names was supposed to reflect the basic intent behind their philosophy. Republicans were supposed to | Read More »
The current narrative excusing Obama and the Democratic Party’s poll standings is that the unemployment rate is too high. It isn’t Democrats that are persona non grata, it’s just a general feeling of discontent due to the economy. People in Minnesota are not happy with the country’s direction because of economic disasters due to GOP policies, or that’s the explanation by the far left. But, | Read More »
The Party, of course the Democratic Party since it is currently the only relevent party in the United States, is annoyed. They have been taking hits to the body since last spring and summer’s healthcare deform debacle. They lost their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate due to a pin-up boy in Massachusetts. Their “Anointed One” has been taking his lumps daily. An entire segment of | Read More »
As the Democratic Party-run press continues to work and create divisions on the right, the real battle continues within their own party. Fissures between the ‘Tea Party’ and the traditional GOP, conservative litmus tests, and challenges to established Republican legislators are all written with glee, hoping against hope the right will implode and therefore protect the vulnerable liberals. The left has a message that makes | Read More »
Usually this phrase is used to describe an organization’s attempt to hide financial losses or problems. However, we can also use this phrase to describe the lame-brain media’s attempt to mask the losses of the Democratic Party among the general population. Following last year’s election, the major pollsters at CBS and other Democratic media outlets, decided to alter the face of our political landscape. They | Read More »
Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont wrote a piece for the Huff-n-Puffington Post. In it he assaulted corporations and big anything for attempting to buy Congress. The Independent senator, who caucuses with the Democrats, makes a strong case for public financing of all political campaigns. I want to explore just how this would work. “The antidote, in my view, is public funding of elections so that everybody | Read More »
