Today, conservatives face a challenge because the Democrats are handing out money by the fistful and controlling the debate through the media which is framed as “Why don’t conservatives agree more with liberals?” rather than the more rational question “Why don’t liberals agree more with conservatives?” America still is called a ‘center right’ nation, which means that the country as a whole is still | Read More »
With the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th president of the United States, conservatives must ask: What is our future? Why does Obama have such a large majority in the House and Senate, and why are increasing numbers of states dominated by the Democrat party? First it is important to remember that conservatives nationally have faced this problem before. In January 1977, two-and-a-half | Read More »
After 8 years of vicious attacks directed at president George Bush, Barack Obama was sworn in Tuesday. We have a new president who participated in a peaceful and cordial transition. Contrast that to the wrath of the liberal left during the two inaugurations of president Bush. Where were the conservative rioters and demonstrators in Washington to protest Obama’s leftist past? Answer: There were none. | Read More »
On this last full day in office, President Bush commuted the prison sentences of Iganacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean who were convicted of shooting a Mexican drug runner in 2005. Bush’s action falls short of a legal pardon in the case, which would have cleared the records of the two officers. Here is a history of the Ramos/Compean case, and three other cases, | Read More »
Today we officially celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. although he would have been 80 years old on January 15. His life was cut short by an assassin on April 4, 1968 at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. His murder was blamed on James Earl Ray, although Ray claimed innocence, and Dr. King’s family sided with Ray before Ray’s death. | Read More »
George W. Bush now is finding his eight year in the White House coming to a close. From the conservative point of view, his presidency has been mixed. He failed to enforce federal immigration laws at the behest of the business community – and as a “compassionate conservative” – leading to a continuing flood of illegal aliens into the nation. He backed an immigration bill | Read More »
“We will come together to give law enforcement the additional tools it needs to track down terror here at home. We will come together to strengthen our intelligence capabilities to know the plans of terrorists before they act, and find them before they strike,” the president continued in his September 21, 2001 speech. Thus more ammunition was offered to the so-called pacifists on the | Read More »
“We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail,” president George W. Bush told an American television audience on September 21, 2001 ten days after the 9/11 attacks. Perhaps the most eloquent utterance of his presidency, Bush at that moment was suddenly popular, and America was admitting to itself that it was fortunate that Al Gore had not been elected 10 | Read More »
In one of the musical spoofs that play regularly on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show, a parody song called Barack the Magic Negro featured a fictitious Al Sharpton shouting through a bullhorn (as in a demonstration) to the tune of Puff the Magic Dragon. The term ‘Barack the magic negro’ first appeared in a Los Angeles Times column written in response to the Obama candidacy. | Read More »
In his fourth major statement on the economy since his election, Obama droned on for 2,500 words in a press conference saying essentially the same thing that he has been saying all along. Here are excerpts from his January 8 statement, along with comments from Nikitas3.com Obama: “We start 2009 in the midst of a crisis unlike any we have seen in our lifetime, | Read More »
The Democrat party, after coming off the 2006 and 2008 elections with the status of the new majority party of America, has fallen off a cliff and turned into the comic gift that keeps on giving. From Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich to corruption suspect New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, from Caroline Kennedy to hooker-lover Eliot Spitzer, from Joe (“I’ve got three letters for you… J-O-B-S…”) | Read More »
Joe Kennedy of Massachusetts announced January 5 that he is laying off 20 workers from his Citizens Energy company. The action came after Citgo, the oil giant controlled by the government of leftist Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, pulled $100 million in funding for Citizens, which came in the form of donated oil. Citizens gives energy assistance to low-income Americans in Massachusetts and other states. | Read More »
In announcing his nomination of Leon Panetta as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, president-elect Obama said he is looking to make “sweeping changes” at the agency. When Panetta himself was asked by a reporter whether hands-on experience is necessary for the job – experience that Panetta lacks – Panetta said “I can’t really comment on that.” Not very encouraging words from either man. | Read More »
President-elect Barack Obama appears to have made some moves to the political right economically. But he remains a liberal, and what he really is going to do over the next few years is a Reverse Washington Monument Ploy. What is that? Well, more on that further down. To start, let’s look at what he has said he is going to do, in | Read More »
The American population is about 12% black. Therefore, if blacks had proportional representation in the United States Senate, there should be 12 black senators, and all 12 probably should be Democrat since blacks vote 90% to 95% Democrat. Yet today there are zero blacks in the Senate. And in the last 100 years, there have been a grand total of only two black US | Read More »
2008 was a bad year for Israel. After exiting the Gaza Strip in 2005 after a 38-year occupation, Israel has been the victim this year of 3,000 rocket attacks, or about 8 per day, launched by the Gaza-based terrorist group Hamas which was legally elected to control the Strip in 2007. Since an ‘official’ 6-month-long Egyptian-brokered cease-fire ended December 19, the total number of | Read More »
Every once in a few decades one year stands out. 2008 easily will go down as one of the more momentous 366 days in recent memory. Who could forget Eliot Spitzer resigning the governorship of New York State in a prostitution scandal? This is the same liberal Democrat who acted like a schoolyard bully in his 8 years as attorney general of the state, | Read More »
There is much anxiety associated with the current economic downturn, and for good reason. Many are losing jobs, the poor and lower classes are suffering greatly, housing values have fallen and 401Ks are decreasing in real terms. Many of these indicators will bounce back somewhat, but this recession appears different than the others and will have longer-lasting effects on our lives. It is what | Read More »
Watch out. Here comes Washington Woodstock. Just in time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the dreadful baby-boomer Woodstock rock concert debauchery in upstate New York in the summer of 1969, some of the same ‘hippies’, older and grayer now, are going to gather in Washington to celebrate Obama’s installation into the presidency on January 20. Throngs are expected to gather for four | Read More »
In the founding of this great nation, our forefathers faced trials that would have undermined a people less determined, less strong, less creative and less resilient. And in pursuing the cause of freedom, which repeatedly appeared far out of reach, our wise Founders kept in their hearts the promise of a Divine Providence watching over our worthy experiment. Today in 2008, in the 227th | Read More »
