Good-Bye!

Like many, I hoped McCain would win, but intellectually knew he would lose. We were asking America to do one recently uncharacteristic thing in this election: choose age, experience, self-sacrifice, and competence over perpetual adolescence, indulgence, inexperience, and energy. We were asking Baby Boomers – let me emphasize BABY here – and their younger minions to hand power backward to an older generation, and specifically | Read More »

People are concentrating on the slogan “It’s the economy, stupid!” again, but they fail to see why the economy’s troubles are based on the assault on masculinity, which radical feminists started decades ago. First of all, if we postulate an Obama win on Tuesday, forgive us: in either case, the simple rise of such a character to such a height does not inspire confidence in | Read More »

For those of you with children in school – of any age – who might be wondering what all this “socialism” and “redistribution” talk is about, I offer my handy-dandy method from my classroom. I say: Imagine that I take all the grades from the last quiz, add them up, and average them out to a grade of C -. Since it is not fair | Read More »

Class warfare in America has become worse than ever before, thanks to the Dems and their constant agitprop about “tax cuts for the WEALTHY” and “tax breaks for BIG CORPORATIONS.” I am reminded of class-warfare complaints in England during the 1930′s about “the idle rich.” This implies that your bank account is robbed by the Republicans and the money is handed over e.g. to a | Read More »

I have written various pieces (q.v.) about the few bishops of the Catholic Church who stood up to Pelosi and Biden last month about abortion, which brought back the debate about excommunicating leftist Catholics (oxymoron alert!) who support all sorts of issues inimical to Catholic/Christian teachings, or at least denying them Communion at Mass, a sort of half-way step toward excommunication. One archbishop, Raymond Burke | Read More »

Okay, all the puns are over: I had to cheer myself up some way! But the Nobel committee in socialist Sweden has been going awry for years, and not just on the Economics prize. What will the guys over at National Review’s “Krugman Truth Squad” do now?

Let’s start off with a random list of Billionaires who want Big Brobama erected as president, whether they are guilty about their wealth and want to push a left-wing agenda, or because they see a socialist government as an easier way for them to exert more personal power over the world, or both, or because they have some other reason rooted in potty-training or abusive | Read More »

One of the great mysteries to me so far is the happiness and great expectations of the Dems that they will increase their hold over Congress with approval ratings of what they have done so far at 9%! It might be even lower given the “bailout” bill this past week! So, why are the Dems so gleeful and positive that the Republican minority will be | Read More »

Earlier I commented on the Intrade trend showing Big Brobama trading at near 7 out of 10, and wondered if any manipulation was going on by Big Brobama’s Beneficent Billionaires. Well! I came across a post by the CEO of Intrade on obvious manipulation during the Palin/Biden debate, manipulation pro-Dem. I was watching in real-time the trading that was happening on both the McCain and | Read More »

At Newsbusters, author Tom Blume has an interesting analysis of MSM polling, which shows no real trend for the Big Brobama! See: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tom-blumer/2008/10/02/cooking-ap-polls-radically-changes-party-mix-fabricate-obama-trend And: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tom-blumer/2008/10/02/wapo-ignores-its-own-poll-showing-mccain-gain-focuses-palin-allegedly-dr If Mr. Blume is even close to being right, when you combine this with any possible “Bradley Effect,” you will conclude that leftists are being much too optimistic right now! Which means that any pessimism here is also wrong!

Checking around on things here in Ohio, I see that the Dems have been following Hitler’s dictum that if you push a lie often enough and loudly enough, people will be worn down and start to believe it. You have not attacked Big Brobama enough and have not attacked in the right way! We need ads with John McCain facing the camera and giving his | Read More »

Readers of my occasional little essays know that I have often used the phrase “Orwellian” to describe Democrat claims, and my nickname for Big Brobama derives from Orwell’s 1984. The reason for these references is simple: they work. Democrats and the left-wing have mastered doublethink, the ability to state a lie, know it is a lie, yet believe the opposite simultaneously. How has this happened? | Read More »

Big Brobama has completed a world tour of diplomacy in 2009, as promised. He has been greeted by fawning Europeans and Africans and even Egyptians. His meetings with Ahmedinejad and Putin were spun into successes by the international media, since he came back to D.C. with pieces of paper promising disarmament and good behavior. Taxes have been raised to class-warfare levels, and unemployment is rising, | Read More »

Focus on countering the claims Big Brobama is and will be making about the crashes on Wall Street! Big Brobama is already putting out a 2-minute ad full of the usual stereotypes: class warfare agitprop of the most typical kind, blaming W. and the Republicans and greedy businessmen for everything. History lessons about how the mess can be traced back in part to Clinton’s Jamie | Read More »

Seven years will soon have passed! I was in a classroom when our librarian came to my room and said I needed to turn on the television set: an airplane crashed into the World Trade Center, and, she added ominously, “they think it was NOT an accident.” No, it was not an accident, because Islamo-Fascists plotted to humiliate America, Weak responses to terrorism from the | Read More »

“Interdict” was a political technique used by the medieval Catholic Church to bring kings and emperor’s into line: it meant denying the celebration of liturgies and sacraments to the general population because of the actions of their leader. Innocent III used it against France c. 1200 A.D. to bring Philip Augustus into line. Since this meant unreconciled souls could be condemned to hell, according to | Read More »

I do not usually have the time or opportunity to listen to conservative talk radio, (Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage (?!)etc.) But I do skim through their transcripts on-line, and know that in general they were highly skeptical, disappointed, and perhaps even halfway angry about John McCain being the candidate. Lately they seem much more enthusiastic about John McCain right now. So | Read More »

Allow me to say with trepidation that as a newcomer I am not comfortable starting a diary so soon, and will not make this a habit for various reasons (Time is a big one!). But since I could not find a logical topic right now for this, here it is. Sunspot activity, which goes in 11-year cycles, has been completely dormant for weeks recently. For | Read More »
