For the entirety of the 2012 campaign, President Obama, the Democrats and thier willing allies in the media all bemoaned the profits of big corporations. President Obama and his allies all believe that their victory on Tuesday is a mandate to raise taxes. I say we take him up on the offer. Combined, the corporations of Disney, Time Warner, CBS/Viacom and Comcast earned roughly $919,452,000.00 | Read More »
We got our arses kicked. There is no other way to say it. As we look back on the wreckage of this presidential/senatorial campaign, there is a lot of opportunities for improvement. Here are a few thoughts (added to the many already out there) on how to get off the carpet and get back into the fight: 1) Conservative wins, Crazy Does Not: We’re all | Read More »
At the outset, I confess that I am a Penn State football fan and have been since about age 7 or 8. That said, I fully accept that, on some level, Joe Paterno failed to do all that he could to protect children from being brutalized by Jerry Sandusky. To what extent will, eventually, be fleshed out through the judicial process. However, the point of | Read More »
No doubt that, by now, most of you have read Rick Santorum’s statement which suggests that, if Mitt Romney were the nominee, a conservative might as well just allow Obama another four years. I like Rick Santorum. I even voted for him when I lived in Pennsylvania. That said, with that statement, I believe he is officially done as a presidential candidate and, I believe, | Read More »
Finally Finally, we get to start selecting our nominee, tonight in Iowa. All of the pundits have had their say. Now, however, the most important part of the political process gets to have their say: The Voters. To those in Iowa who peruse this site, I say good luck tonight and thank you. Thank you for caring enough about your country to come out on | Read More »
Both riches and honor come from You, And You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great And to give strength to all. “Now therefore, our God, We thank You And praise Your glorious name ..” … 1 Chron 29:12-13. “And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications | Read More »
In watching the debate last night, I was struck with a realization of our predicament as a party and as a movement. After watching the debate, I came away with the thought that only three of the candidates are ready to be President, from a knowledge and competence standpoint. Mitt (not Willard) Romney, Newt Gingrich and Jon Huntsman. There is no doubt that each has flaws. | Read More »
I am not a biblical scholar. I’ve read some verses, try to be a good Christian, etc. One of my favorite parts of the Bible is not judging, lest ye be judged. It is an admonishment against being a hypocrite. It is, perhaps, one of the most valuable lessons in the Word. That said, the society in which we live seems to breed hypocrisy. It | Read More »
The poet laureate of my generation, Mike Tyson, once famously said “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” This breathtakingly accurate axiom is on full display as we watch Herman Cain’s campaign flail after being punched in the face. So far, Mr. Cain is demonstrating that he cannot take a punch. Therefore, he should not be our nominee for President. At | Read More »
I’d like to take this moment to express my joy that the murderous, dictator thug Qaddafi has been shot in the face. As awful as the pic was to view while eating lunch (a Subway meatball sub, no less), I rather enjoyed the pic of one of the world’s most brutal, evil men becoming worm feast. That said, I will NOT be one of those | Read More »
At the outset, I would be remiss if I did not disclose that I voted for Mitt Romney in the NJ primary in 2008. Generally, I think that Romney is probably a decent guy, with a good moral compass. I’m also convinced that he probably knows more about the economy than any of the other GOP presidential candidates. That said, after last night’s debate, I | Read More »
Last night, Harry Reid changed the game, or at least the motivation behind the game. As many of you know, Reid invoked the nuclear option in the Senate, doing away with the filibuster. It is now imperative, more than ever, that we elect a conservative majority to the Senate in 2012. By changing the rules, preventing amendments after a filibuster, Harry Reid has broken the | Read More »
Yesterday, Steve Jobs passed away. Despite his liberal tendencies, Jobs exemplified that most basic of conservative tenets…that being a profound belief in the power of the individual entrepreneur to make America better. As most of us know, Jobs started Apple in his garage in the mid-1970′s. Prior to that, he took advantage of any opportunity to learn and master his craft: working for Atari, attending | Read More »
Politics has been called the most brutal of bloodsports. Much like those of us who follow the NFL, MLB, NCAA or any other sport, we all have our favorite teams and root really hard for them to win. When they win, we’re elated and when they lose, we’re a bit dejected. Also, with our favorite teams, we often adopt the posture that we’re allowed to | Read More »
In reading the blogs and news sites, there seems to be a buzz that, in deed, Sarah Palin is going to run for President. While I do not know if I would ultimately support her in the primary process, I do hope that the rumblings are true and that Gov. Palin gets into this race. I used to think Gov. Palin would best serve this | Read More »
Tonight was the official beginning of the 2012 Republican Presidential Primary. The debate in Greenville, SC was very enlightening and surprisingly entertaining. The following are my thoughts on each candidate: Herman Cain: He clearly won the debate. In every primary, a candidate emerges that no one knew before. In 2008, for example, it was Mike Huckabee. In this campaign, Herman Cain appears to be that | Read More »
During the 2010 Campaign, the Left put forth a phony Tea Party candidate in an attempt to divert votes away from Rep. Jon Runyan in his race against former Rep. John Adler in New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District. The attempt failed, but as we know from our experience with Liberals, they never give up after failing. Fast forward to the current crop of potential Republican Presidential Primary | Read More »
The Constitution of the United States gives the President of the United States the power to command the military forces of the United States. Whether we like who is in the White House or not, every President has the Constitutional right to use the armed forces to protect our country and advance the national interests. When President Bush made the decision to remove Saddam Hussein | Read More »
Throughout our history, when things have looked bleakest, leaders emerged to inspire the American People to action and victory over whatever adversary we faced. In our nation’s infancy, when defeat was but a loss away, General Washington summoned all of his courage and led his troops to victory, ensuring that our nation would be free. When our nation was fractured over the issue of slavery, | Read More »
In our next Republican nominee for President, I am looking to support someone who has the courage to stand up and fight when the moment calls for it. George W. Bush, when faced with Islamic Terrorists, stood up and fought. Ronald Reagan, when facing the Soviet Union, stood up and fought. Hell, when Roosevelt and Churchill were faced with Naziism, they stood together and fought. | Read More »
