See You This Weekend in JAX!
Looking forward to this year’s RedState Gathering. It’s like a final hurrah for our family, as our eldest is leaving the next week to attend grad school in New Year. Bittersweet joy. See you there!
My Two Cents About The First GOP Debate
Last night’s CNN televised GOP debate is now in the can. Depending on who you ask, Cain won, Bachmann won, whatever. Regardless, CNN lost. Between John King’s relentless grunting and the stupid “this or that?” questions, and the morning after caption, CNN proved themselves the true water boys of the state run media. For me, no one was the shiny standout. They all have their | Read More »
Thank You, President Obama
(Before you faint dead-away at the title of this post, bear with me.) Thank you, President Obama. Thank you for arrogance. Your dismissive tone. Your obsession with golf. Your aloofness. Your constantly mixed messages on which god/God you worship. Your elitism. Your inability to speak coherently off the cuff. Your history of corruption. Your confusion regarding American traditions. Your unpresidential behavior. Your lack of a | Read More »
In a Perfect World…
They would be throwing parades for Dinesh D’Souza’s Forbes article if it was an expose of a conservative or a Republican, dancing merry gigs like orcs ’round the fire. But instead he gets pouty stabs from a thin-skinned White House. The White House wouldn’t try to pull strings in elections. At least (and correct me if I’m wrong) it didn’t in the past, so publicly. | Read More »
America Invaded. Move Along, Nothing to See Here.
(via Memeorandum) Digger at The Cypress Times reports: The bloodbath continues along our southern border and now word is coming in that Los Zetas, the highly trained killers formerly with the Gulf Cartel, have crossed into the United States and taken over at least two ranches in the Laredo, Texas area. I am receiving word that the owners of the ranches have evacuated without being | Read More »
Five Letter Word Unwelcome in the NC House of Representatives
Come to think of it, that five letter word is unwelcome almost everywhere. School. Office. Government. University. Entertainment. Neighborhood. Car bumpers. Key chains. Todd Starnes: A North Carolina pastor was relieved of his duties as an honorary chaplain of the state house of representatives after he closed a prayer by invoking the name of Jesus. “I got fired,” said Ron Baity, pastor of Berean Baptist | Read More »
Never Underestimate the Motivation of Extremely P-O’d Americans
Hey Washington, can you hear us now? First up, Jeff Kuhner of the WaTimes, with strong words that I stand behind 100%. The Slaughter Solution is a dagger aimed at the heart of our system of checks and balances. It would enable the Democrats to establish an ominous precedent: The lawmaking process can be rigged to ensure the passage of any legislation without democratic accountability | Read More »
The American Ides of March
Figures Nancy Pelosi would pick today of all days to begin her ruination of America. Jennifer Rubin: In short, the cost-containment problem (otherwise we’ll bankrupt ourselves, the president once threatened) is made worse, dramatically so, by the bill. And when we add on “a range of job-killing tax hikes and controls on all Americans,” you have a truly destructive, ill-conceived piece of legislation. If members | Read More »
Thanks Erick & RedState
Thank for such a well-run Blogger’s Lounge at CPAC. You’ve raised the bar so high, I doubt anybody else can top it! Great job! Can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year.
Where’s That Groundhog When You Need Him
Had a great post rattling around in my head for Groundhog Day all day yesterday, but lost it. Maybe it will come back around again, like in the movie. I’d like to get it back, like this entire last year, the income I’ve personally lost through mandated furloughs, the equity in my home that has evaporated, the hope of sending our son to the college | Read More »
Erick Finally Said It
Erick Erickson finally said what I’ve been saying in private for the last year. Barack Obama didn’t spend his formative years in the US, learning the basic curriculum of American history. He was in a madrasah, far from America. He once said the most beautiful sound he’d ever heard was the Muslim call to prayer. Then he attended a famous university that is known for | Read More »
Excuse me, Mr. Congressman, is that an Altar in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?
Remember that part of Ghostbusters where the pagan temple was on top of the Manhattan skyscraper? Well, evidently there’s several more at The Capitol, and WE are the burnt offerings upon the altars! Dan Perrin at RedState outlines the dozen sacrifices required by the Democrat’s pagan gods. (Many thanks to Erick’s Morning Briefing) They are killing off the chances of passing all of their other | Read More »
Is Obama’s Acceptance of the Nobel Constitutional?
(Sorry, I’m a little late on this, because, well, I’ve been a bit busy lately with life and it’s curveballs.) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Tell me, Mr. President, Mr. Constitutional Scholar, Sir, is there a precedent on a sitting president’s acceptance of awards from foreign interests? J.P. Feire | Read More »
Lessons From Our Betters
“Ahem. Class, settle down. Is this thing on…? Let’s continue in our daily reading from The Constitution of the United States. The Bill of Rights. Amendment I. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion , or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to | Read More »
Obama’s Latest Squandered Opportunity
Yesterday, the eighth anniversary of the murder of 2996 innocent Americans, the unPresidential President had his first real opportunity to patch his sinking ship. An event presented itself, still raw and naked, not related to crippling legislation or unvetted staff or hugging dictators next door; a time and place where he could speak to the nation from his cold and shriveled heart. It is globally | Read More »
Telling Signs
There’s an old adage – “How do you know a politician’s lying? When their lips are moving!” Sad when it applies to the most powerful man in the United States. The broken promises are mounting as fast as his deficit numbers. But once a person internalizes the idea that he/she has been betrayed, then the trust so basic to a relationship is broken and it’s | Read More »
There IS Joy in Mudville
Seen this very evening, less than an hour ago, at the neighborhood chicken eatery down the road, in David Scott’s district. The picture was taken by Wee Highlander on his phone, since I’m gizmo-challenged like that. It absolutely MADE MY DAY. That swastika on Rep. Scott’s sign? It’s looking more and more like a possible “self-inflicted hate crime.” While he’s getting all sorts of press | Read More »
I See Swastikas
Nancy Pelosi continues to prove she is completely out of touch with Americans. She doesn’t see the electorate – she sees scary Nazi brown-shirts following mystical orders from evil corporations. Oh wait, only the POTUS gives out marching orders like that. Police break up “conversations” at a peaceable town-hall. What’s next – riot gear and tear gas? Will the canisters have glittery HopeNChange stickers? Elizabeth | Read More »
Rep. David Scott: I Don’t Know = Shut Up!
Gee, I wonder if that is David Scott (D-GA 13) SecretCongressCode for, “Don’t ask me again, moron, I’ll do whatever I want.” At the Douglas County Highway 92 corridor meeting last week (at least according to the local paper toeing the party line): As the session began to wind down, Dr. Brian E. Hill, Atlanta-based urologist, turned the question to health care issues. He asked | Read More »
Just Shut Up and Take Your Pill
The Great Enlightened Won admits he doesn’t even know what is in the Health Care Reform legislation that he and his lackeys are trying to ram down the collective American throat before the August recess. This is a truly disturbing admission by the President, especially considering that later in the call, Obama promises yet again: “If you have health insurance, and you like it, and | Read More »
Section 304
“You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.” (Hotel California, The Eagles, the fog of my youth) That American Dream – of owning a home – your own little patch of land where you can raise your kids and plant your roses and wash your car (only on an odd day) and build treehouses and burn your toast…. yeah, well, | Read More »
The Walpin Cover-up
Or IG-Gate, for short. THE money shots: Stacy: “The AmeriCorps IG scandal is the sort of Nixonian evil that sends people to prison prison.” Michelle: “If Obama keeps up with this “change,” we’ll be back to the Watergate era by Christmas.” Ed: “This is nothing more than a bare-knuckled smear job, a despicable attempt to use allegations of mental illness to discredit someone who ran | Read More »
Presidents and Pirates and Dogs, Oh My!
Well, well, well. A week off and I see nothing’s changed. It was a real week off, too; sun, sand, ancient forts, little to no internet and especially little to no TV. But there was no shortage of shrimps – fried and lots of ‘em! On the way home, we hear of the hostage stand-off between Somali pirates and the great American Navy. My initial | Read More »
Playing to the Lowest Common Denominator
Let’s face it, that’s all Barack Obama knows how to do. Baptized in Chicago politics, he doesn’t know how to relate to real Americans, real issues. Dear Lord, I don’t want to see how he will react in a real crisis. Just last week, he bolted the White House, just because he was having a bad day. Oh, Waaah. The Anchoress has a running-all-day linkathon | Read More »
The Big Hiss
The market has made known its feelings about an Obama presidency. Can you hear the Big Hiss? Yesterday was the first “up” day since the election results were announced. We’ll see if the market can sustain its feeble attempt at optimism for at least one day. Since the MSM and Democrats are always so quick to blame Bush and “8 failed years” for any market | Read More »
