On September 8, president Obama talked about his African father who separated from his mother when Obama was two years old, eventually moving back to Kenya where he died. Obama, who only met his father only once after the separation, said: “He was a very, very smart man, but he was sort of arrogant and kind of overbearing, and he had his own problems | Read More »
It hardly seems possible that the tragic events of September 11, 2001 are now eight years in the past. But that is how time flies. We all remember where we were when we heard the news – that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. It must have been a small Cessna or a lost commuter airliner, we all thought. But on | Read More »
The Democrats are on the defensive about health care. The big issue is whether Obama Care really means socialized medicine. President Obama says it does not, yet Obama himself has said in speeches that he eventually wants to move away from employer-provided private health insurance and to a 100% government-run plan. Here are the quotes: March of 2007 at the Service Employees International | Read More »
At a town hall meeting in Iowa held by Republican US senator Chuck Grassley, a woman said that her Methodist Church believes that health care is “a right”. This kind of rhetoric is heavy in the air as health care is debated. And it has been used for decades by liberals as a means of making everything from housing to clothing to education into | Read More »
President Obama’s ‘Green Jobs Czar’ Van Jones has resigned. This is a good thing. And hats off to Glenn Beck for exposing Jones, who is a racial, economic and environmental radical who even signed a 9/11 ‘truther’ petition in 2004 that suggested that Bush was behind it all. This kind of extremism has no place in the White House even though Obama has practiced | Read More »
Conservatives should be taking heart in the political cycle. This may sound illogical, but consider the facts. Republicans dominated American politics from the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980 through the November 2006 vote. Republicans/conservatives even gained congressional seats in the 2002 mid-term election, defying traditional patterns. And so Democrats have gone through years of soul-searching and deflation. But today the political right | Read More »
“It would be unfair to prosecute dedicated men and women working to protect America for conduct that was sanctioned in advance by the Justice Department.” – US attorney general Eric Holder on April 16, 2009 declaring that he would not seek an investigation into CIA actions in connection with interrogations. Now that Holder has backtracked and is appointing a special prosecutor to investigate | Read More »
The over-the-top coverage of the death of US senator Edward Kennedy reveals once again the narcissist culture on the left. One commentator opined that low TV ratings for the event on one of the networks meant, perhaps, that not everyone in America is quite as taken with the Kennedys as the New York media are. How true. The passing of the last brother only | Read More »
President Obama and his policies are creating unprecedented debt loads for America. He says that this is necessary to correct the current economic recession. But that will not work. Things will get worse. Since Obama policies even over the next 4 years will be felt well into the future, we are today creating debt loads that, in relation to the trajectory of our economy, | Read More »
NEW ORLEANS – Saturday, August 29, is the fourth anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina disaster. It is important to look back and to assess what went wrong and determine how to prevent it from happening again. Actually that is the fictional way that the American media are going to look at the New Orleans disaster, as if we somehow can find a way to | Read More »
It is fascinating that senator Ted Kennedy should die during the week in which president Obama is vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts on a $35,000-a-week estate at a time when America is suffering through severe economic crisis. John F. Kennedy once said “I learned about the great depression at Harvard”. In other words, his family wealth insulated him from the nation’s catastrophe of the | Read More »
To look at the presidency of Barack Obama, one might conclude that he has a death wish for himself and for the Democrat party. After plummeting in the polls, being savaged over his handling of the health-care debate, piling up huge debts that are alarming most Americans, seeing Democrats already headed for big losses in the mid-term elections, and trying to blame Bush for | Read More »
One of the disturbing trends in America today is the takeover of Christian churches by liberals. Today many churches have been turned into satellite offices of the Democrat party and this does not apply just to Episcopalians and Methodists. Many regular, practicing Catholics have abandoned their faith and are embracing left-wing socialism lock, stock and barrel. Certainly genuine Christianity remains strong. And yes there | Read More »
Over the last 21 years, there has been only one North Star for us on the political right and that has been Rush Limbaugh. Just the number of mentions that he gets in the liberal media – angry mentions, you might notice – show that he indeed is the most effective spokesman for our cause. Because liberals are full of anger about everything, and when | Read More »
A big myth being perpetrated all over America by liberals is that “rich” people are all Republican businesspeople and conservative corporate fatcats who have power over the rest of us. This is nonsense. The fact is that “conservatives” are statistically lower on the income scale than Democrats, and Republican business interests long ago lost control of the nation’s wealth. This is happening as the nation | Read More »
I recently attended a NASCAR East event in Connecticut. NASCAR East is one the ‘feeder’ leagues for NASCAR’s top-echelon Nationwide and Sprint Cup racing series where up-and-coming young drivers show their stuff. The venue at Lime Rock Park in the northwestern part of the state is easily one of the most beautiful in America. Lime Rock, named for the nearby lime deposits, is surrounded | Read More »
President Obama recently said at a town hall meeting on health care in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on August 12, 2009: “Let’s take the example of something like diabetes . . . a disease that’s skyrocketing, partly because of obesity, partly because it’s not treated as effectively as it could be. “Right now . . . if a family care physician works with his | Read More »
The economy has not responded to the stimulus plan passed in February. Unemployment actually rose again in July from 9.5% to 9.8%, but the media managed to ignore the statistics about “discouraged” workers – those who have given up looking for work and who caused the rate to rise – and made it look like the unemployment rate dropped to 9.4%. When Bush was | Read More »
This weekend, August 15-18, we mark the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock music festival in upstate New York. To anyone born in the 1940s and 1950s, Woodstock was supposed to have been a watershed event that branded a generation. And indeed it did. A generation of fools, that is. We could have seen it coming. As the Summer of Love swept the nation in 1967, | Read More »
Liberal commentator Christopher Hitchens has written an attack book called god is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything And since there has been no outrage for its hate speech against Christians – the real target of the book - let’s look at the book as if it questioned liberals or pseudo-intellectual poseurs like Hitchens or his prophet Al Gore. So how about a book called gays | Read More »
