Well, depending on when the dates of the caucuses and primaries end up, as they are still in flux, we could be looking at less than 100 days until the first vote to select our next Presidential nominee. That can seem like a blink of an eye. The field now appears to be set…finally. Gov. Chris Christie, Gov. Sarah Palin, and other stragglers now have | Read More »
Well, can we end the speculation now? http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/10/105741/ October 5, 2011 Wasilla, Alaska After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States. As always, my family comes first and obviously Todd and I put great consideration into family life before making this decision. When we serve, we devote | Read More »
Ohio is going to be the keystone to any Presidential strategy. And as such, we will be seeing a lot of this President, and the Republican nominee, over the next 14 months. But we have already seen that this President has little or nothing to offer the great state of Ohio. Obama last week, in what can only be defined as a political stunt, went | Read More »
The number of retrospectives of the events of September 11, 2001 are too many to count. The repercussions of the terrorist attacks on New York, Washington, D.C., and in the air space over Pennsylvania effected every American in one way or another, and there are just as many stories to go along with those people. For us today, I think a more relevant discussion is | Read More »
Jonathan Alter has a well publicized piece on Bloomberg asking people opposing Barack Obama why he has been a bad president. I know, I had to chuckle too. Varied commentators have taken their stabs at answering the question. Classic non-conservativeDavid Frum even took a swing at it. Mickey Kaus at The Daily Caller probably had the best answer. But I thought I would take a swing at | Read More »
The Tea Party largely drove the wave election of 2010. And there were three topics, above all else, that were a focus of their candidates: The repeal of Obamacare, the economy and unemployment, and restraining the Federal Government. Let us admit, in the beginning, that we have made no progress on Obamacare, and the economy is a mess we cannot hope to clean up until | Read More »
Have we ever seen a moment like Monday night, when we had an American President more detached from reality? Mr. Obama gave a political stump speech, which in and of itself was unsurprising. In fact, he has said little different since April. His speeches all amount to this: Republicans are on the political fringe and intransigent, Democrats are reasonable and intelligent, and he alone wants | Read More »
Finally, the truth emerges. After months of the media telling us that Obama, not Republicans, is the realist and pragmatist, yesterday we saw in the full light of day what Obama is: a political hack and idealogue. Mr. Obama, through his Press Secretary Jay Carney, yesterday clearly stated that the President would veto the “Cut, Cap, and Balance’ bill that Republicans in the House will pass | Read More »
I wrote a post last year about the end of the Space Shuttle program, titled ‘Space Shutttle: End of an Era‘, that can be read here. It has, over time, been one of the most popular postings on my blog. I think there is a simple reason why. For my generation (I was born in the early 70s), we missed out on Mercury and Apollo. We didn’t | Read More »
There has been a very slow, but steadily increasing, argument on the left that conservatives should pay heed to. Liberals are suggesting that the President should invoke the 14th Amendment to ignore the debt ceiling, and spend the way the White House wills. The argument has become more prevalent as we get closer to the August 2nd ‘doomsday’. It was most pointedly noted by Secretary | Read More »
