If you want to start a GE bashing fest start your own diary and do it. OK I did it. There are two things that matter about messages. You can drill down as deep as you want to, and it’s always true. Apply it to bridge building, football, politics, cribbage, recipes, resumes, witnesses in court, and chocolate. Never a variance to left or to right. | Read More »
Today, for reasons I get but don’t appreciate, all the buzz in the political world is about one thing: Barack’s annual State of the Union address before the combined Congress, assorted dignitaries, media hounds, and a national TV audience. Just about every angle is being breathlessly pursued: Will Barack pivot to the center, at least with his words? Will he take credit for an imaginary | Read More »
If you want the favor and goodness of the United States government, if you want all the muscle of the United States leaning your way, then I know one thing: It’s good to be a gangsta Want the boot of America on your neck? Want America to spit in your face? Meddle with your internal politics, or worse, stand aside, hold coats as it were, | Read More »
From the diaries by Erick It begins. There has been a good bit of ‘presidential’ buzz about Herman Cain in the right online community, and in the conservative camp in general. He’s not been shy about admitting that he’s considering it. Now he’s taking the next step. I had the privilege of speaking with him for a half-hour last night after he was done with | Read More »
In the aftermath of the Tucson shooting outrage by a loony lone gunman who seems to have had no interest in talk radio, the Left has nevertheless stuck with the Rahm Emanuel adage “Never let a crisis go to waste”. I’ll not recite all the details and examples. You know them. I just want to point out something interesting that came from the mouth of | Read More »
All the cool people were chiming in with their presidential qualifications list. I thought I’d try to be trendy and urbane too. Possibly smoke some cigarettes with those fancy quellazaires and blowing smoke rings, while breezily opining on the matters of the day. That’s still cool, right? OK, now the fun and games are over. I mean that. What’s been done to this country the | Read More »
Some things are just wrong, even if they are legal. Some things are dishonorable to such a degree that the perpetrators ought to be scorned and shunned from civil society. The perpetrators of the 2010 Lame Duck follies — chief among them Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi — are reprobates of that order. The rest of them are scarcely better for having lent | Read More »
[from the diaries by haystack~nice work EPU] [Full disclosure - Joe Barton is my congressman. I have met him in passing and have sat in a couple of meetings he has conducted, since I was once a precinct chairman. Likewise I have met a handful of his staff, who also probably have no memory of me.] You may know Joe Barton only as the guy | Read More »
Hate what you’ve done to the place. Now get out. The grownups have a huge mess to clean up. Hope you like your new name. I know I sure do. Henceforth you shall be called…. 46 . Be seeing ya. [It’s the closest I could find, at this early date, to a nationwide tally of who voted for who, a ballpark average of the Senate | Read More »
They’re stealing on an epic scale this time. And you think they are unstoppable. You think they can manufacture phony votes, deny the vote to overseas military, rig enough voting machines, and commit enough intimidation to change the outcomes of far too many elections next Tuesday. With the Justice Department under Eric Holder, Democrat cheating is now for all intents codified into law. The stories | Read More »
You may already know this: there will be a reckoning. Actually there will be three. This is primarily about the third one. The first reckoning – America’s second Declaration of Independence The first reckoning will be on election day, November 2, 2010, when Americans vote overwhelmingly to reject the Democrat agenda. It will be a down payment on the epic 10-year butt-kicking that will be | Read More »
Conservatives, patriots, military veterans, families and close friends of military, and plain average Americans will instantly get this movie. There’s no surprise in it for them, although it is gripping from beginning to end. But this movie wasn’t made for them, not really. It was made for the person who doesn’t quite *get* it. If you have allowed yourself to be persuaded by those who: | Read More »
Now is an exciting time to be a Democrat, don’t you think? The midterm election is 40 days away. In a short two years we’ve gotten to see the Democrat vision for America take shape before our eyes. America stands ready to ratify that grand vision at the ballot box. But instead of being loud and proud of the progress they’ve wrought on America, I | Read More »
We had us a glorious time in Austin this weekend. Not only did Governor Perry throw us a party, he was one o’ t’ speakers at T’ Gatherin’. Also prominently featured were Nikki Haley, soon t’ be Governor o’ South Carolina; Chuck DeVore, who be goin’ t’ be a leader in t’ conservative movement; Congressman Tom Graves o’ GA, another shinin’ star; and Herman Cain, | Read More »
I feel I need to get out in front of this, lest the major American media tell you first. It’s not that I am ashamed of this connection, I just don’t want my beloved RedState friends to feel like I am hiding something. Terry Jones, the nut-job pastor threatening to burn korans on 9/11, is headquartered in Gainesville, FL. Emmitt Smith, the NFL’s all-time rushing | Read More »
The flag behind them bows in shame…….. …..as TOTUS lies yet again to America.
I wholeheartedly believe that most foundational concepts regarding liberty, accountability, and responsible governance are really, really easy. Those truths that are not astoundingly obvious (like ‘it IS NOT the government’s job to regulate my salt intake‘) are at least fairly obvious to the average 4th grader (like ‘it IS the federal government’s job to secure the borders’). This one is dedicated to the 41, the | Read More »
In Michigan’s District 1, the SEIU candidate in the Republican primary is proud to announce that the NRA has endorsed him in that primary against Tea Party candidate and physician, Doctor Dan Benishek. Many conservatives are taken aback and very angry, while rumors abound that the NRA will also endorse Harry Reid in the US Senate race against conservative Sharron Angle. As Senate Majority Leader, | Read More »
Democrats, you betrayed America’s trust. On November 2, 58% of voters will sign America’s second Declaration of Independence. You will lose huge. Then it’s on: the real War for Freedom. .
This is version 1.1 of In 2012 – no more open primaries – a proposal, that I wrote on January 21, 2008. The nomination process was an absolute miserable train wreck, the culmination of years of a worsening and chaotic system. In this case, it had already given us an inevitable nominee — too early, an unrepresentative and unsatisfactory candidate, with most of Republican America | Read More »
A free people will not give up its freedom. Never has it been more evident than now that America is not Europe. We are indeed the world’s last best hope. And know this: America is spectacularly, magnetically, incurably, incandescent Exceptional. In spite of what the Boy President™ says, we ARE exceptional. And also in spite of what he says, nobody else can lay claim to | Read More »
Wow. Just wow. Wrinkle-boy sat down with Anderson Cooper on CNN a couple of days ago. The ratings situation has gotten that desperate over at the Commie News Network, I guess. Redford is clearly an expert on oil spills because…… well, because……oh yeah, because he acted in some movies that did rather well. Like Out of Africa and Electric Horseman. Apparently Captain Underpants has got | Read More »
[UPDATE: apparently I've not been clear on one point - I am demanding that these 2 resign their leadership positions, not resign as congressmen] You unspeakably cowardly moral midgets. We will have leaders who shout “Give me liberty or give me death”, not obsequious weasels who snarl at more courageous men, “Don’t make the mean man mad.” The times test a man, and fortunate is | Read More »
Guys, I’m going to be doing something else during the speech, something vastly more important than watching the Ditherer-in-Chief. I haven’t decided exactly what, yet. I’m still deciding between working in the yard, working in the garage, or finally trying out BattleField – Bad Company 2 on X360. But you know, I got connections. Me and TOTUS, we got a history. So it so happens | Read More »
I applaud the many brilliant minds that grace America. Good for you for thinking deep thoughts and expounding on complexities and nuances of this, that and the other. I think that is grand. But I also think that most of the truths that can guide us aright are right out there in the open. I believe they are stunningly, astoundingly obvious. I bring them up | Read More »
