The President of “No”
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | July 27th at 09:27 AM |
Sound familiar? It should, it’s been a trick of the Democrats to pin that label on Republicans for years; “The Party of NO.” I submit to you that despite media reports and observations to the contrary, that label is now firmly stuck not only to the Democrats, but President Nobama Obama as well. No Plan Obama has no budget plan, only a campaign agenda. Long | Read More »
Still wasting time talking about Steven Colbert? Let’s talk about who invited him; Zoe Lofgren (D CA-16 San Jose)
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | September 25th at 07:05 PM |
Via Brad Blakeman; Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert appeared and “testified,” Friday before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration. The comedian appeared as an “expert” witness on the plight of migrant farm workers at the express invitation of the subcommittee’s chairwoman, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.). His “testimony’ was an embarrassment to himself, his country, the Congress and the entire issue of immigration reform. It amounted to | Read More »
Nancy Pelosi LOVES to talk – but refuses to debate. Sensing a trend with scared Democrats here…
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | September 22nd at 09:33 PM |
Interviewed on Fox News, Republican candidate for California’s 8th House District John Dennis would like to debate the incumbent Pelosi, but he can’t get a word in edgewise – because she’s afraid to face him in a public debate. Not surprising though, really, as Pelosi’s record is indefensible, and she really doesn’t want to be compared to a better candidate in public. As of this | Read More »
Here come the faux “Conservative” Democrats
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | September 3rd at 04:28 PM |
With DOOM in November fast approaching, it’s funny seeing Democrats like Gerry Connolly (D-VA) scramble to appear “Conservative”, similar to the ones who just last year wanted to appear “Pro-Life”. Democratic leaders in Congress still back Obama, but the willingness to raise taxes is waning among the rank and file as the stagnant economy threatens the party’s majority in the House and Senate. “In my | Read More »
Oh yeah, Jerry Brown SURE has changed over the years…not. He’s hangin’ with Code Pink
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | August 22nd at 02:49 AM |
I first saw this over at Blackfive, and it made me angry enough to spit. “Your son deserved to die in Iraq if he was stupid enough to go over there.” Those were the chilling words yelled at Gold Star mother Debbie Lee by Jodie Evans and her Code Pink gang as they were trashing a recruiting station in Berkley, CA a few years ago. | Read More »
Another “Border Skirmish” in the TEA Party War? Glenn Beck isn’t helping…
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | August 2nd at 01:12 AM |
Glenn Beck has a job to do; it is to get ratings primarily but beyond that he is a valued teacher within the conservative movement who provides the information to enable you and me to educate our family and friends on what the left is doing to our country; to enable us explain who Obama really is to the Star Struck and the American Idol | Read More »
Scott Brown is STILL a Tea Party win, he’s just become “disposable” now
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | July 12th at 10:16 PM |
There’s a lot of gnashing of teeth today over Senator Scott Brown joining the ranks of joining the Democrat Underground of Snowe and Collins in supporting the Left’s “financial overhaul” bill. Snowe even spewed her usual “We Have To Do Something(c)” bs; “While not perfect, the legislation takes necessary steps to implement meaningful regulatory reforms, create strong consumer protections and restore confidence in the American | Read More »
NRA gets the message on Kagan?
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | July 2nd at 10:48 AM |
It shouldn’t have taken beating the NRA over the head to get them to do the right thing on the Kagan nomination, but for some reason it did. Now the NRA comes out and says; NRA Opposes Kagan, Will Score Senators on Confirmation Vote The National Rifle Association announced Thursday it will oppose Senate confirmation of Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court and plans | Read More »
Not all “Immigrants” think Arizona was wrong with passage of SB1070
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | May 4th at 02:40 AM |
Via Garret Lewis Again, I stress legal immigration. Come to this country and contribute. Come to this country legally. The left wants to make this about race (as usual) when it doesn’t matter what country you’re from or what race you are. It shouldn’t matter. Wasn’t that one of the ideas set forth in Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech? I have a | Read More »
Still MORE Us versus Them protests, the Left Agenda on full display
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | May 3rd at 08:06 PM |
Yesterday I posted a video which was put out by secularstupidest.com (whose web site and blog are being re-vamped at the moment and the url now points to their EBay site). The video showed some of the differences between “their” protests (which are covered by the media, and heavily edited to appear peaceful) and “our” protests (which are mom and pop affairs, but yet the | Read More »
After Teaparty. Now what?
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | March 1st at 03:47 AM |
We go back home and wait for the axe to fall? No, I don’t think so! A strong statement was made, but the Dems in Congress are probably thinking; “The Cons were restless, but they’ll give up and go away after this, they always do.” They’re right, we always do. We work multiple jobs, and get back into the rut where we’re shoveling the coal | Read More »
Stimulus for Calif: Enabling We Can Believe In
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | February 1st at 01:18 PM |
Fed’s Stimulus allows California to pretend-again The Stimulus is rapidly approaching the US Senate, after passing the House with no Republican support, and California legislators are fairly salivating over the chance to stave off fiscal collapse, if only for a few months. The “Stimulus” itself, being a Democrat Christmas Wish List of pork and pork by-products, seems to do little to create real permanent jobs, | Read More »
An Addiction So Severe Even Obama’s Unicorns Can’t Heal It
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | January 29th at 01:09 AM |
What do you do with a friend who’s self-destructive? Someone who maybe overindulged for whatever reason, and is now addicted to their drug of choice? Do you ignore the problem, hoping it’ll go away on its own? Maybe confront the person, and risk losing a friend, hoping to save a life, but in the end losing the friend and the life because they refused to | Read More »
What’s a TCOT?
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | January 28th at 10:55 PM |
I was asked that question today, and I realized “What the heck is a TCOT anyway?” At first, we were a reaction to what we thought was unthinkable, the most liberal Senator in the United States Senate was now President-Elect of the United States. Where did we go wrong? We gathered together, drawn almost as one to go online to seek answers. And we found | Read More »
More California Scheming?
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | January 27th at 12:28 AM |
I did my taxes today. I’m screwed next year when my daughter turns 18 as instead of basically being a single Dad, I’ll be a single white male. Slime in California. Turns out I’ll get a whopping $69 back from the Feds (or so), and almost a $600 check (IOU) from the State of California. Whoohoo. But if California Democrats have their way, not only | Read More »
CA: Some GOP Legislators put Taxes Back on the Table
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | January 23rd at 12:49 PM |
It finally happened, as it usually does, state Democrat legislators seem to have been able to reach a few “reasonable” Republicans and get them to agree to tax increases under “certain conditions”. In a “Read my lips” moment California GOP legislators signed a State Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which set in stone their commitment to all Californians to not allow California Democrats to simply tax and | Read More »
Breitbart Calls Hollywood to Task
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | January 20th at 02:29 AM |
At his Big Hollywood blog, Andrew Breitbart wonders the same thing many of us have been over the last eight years. How is it they can ignore the deaths of thousands of Americans on 9/11 and twist things to demonize a President they personally hate? Many of the celebrities that were central to demonizing and making life impossible for President Bush for eight loathsome years | Read More »
Farewell to the Chief-“Mission Accomplished”
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | January 16th at 02:16 AM |
There’s a picture wall at all military units, with the chain of command from the unit’s Commanding Officer all the way to the Commander in Chief. In between the two are the top military and civilian leaders, and the pictures change as commands and appointments change. I’ll never forget the cold January in 2001 when the picture of former President William J. Clinton was removed, | Read More »
The Next Presidential American Idol
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | January 13th at 09:43 PM |
It’s that time of year again, a time when football season is nearly over and many of us yield up the remote control to the TV as remuneration for a season (mostly) uninterrupted pigskin perusal. With Season 7 of 24 kicking off, some can reasonably replace Monday Night Football with seeing the war on terror as we’d like it to be, but Tuesday thru Thursday | Read More »
Update on Ventura County GOP
By: Erick Brockway (Diary) | January 13th at 01:22 AM |
I just had the pleasure of speaking with one Chris Collier, newly assigned Executive Director of the Ventura County Republican Party. I’ll say one thing about this man, he’s energetic! He’s a self-described “Tech Geek”, with a head full of ideas and a plan to paint the County of Ventura bright red, as it was once. The local site should be up soon, and the | Read More »
