What if everyone in the Colorado theater had been carrying a gun. How many rounds would the “shooter” have gotten off then? He would have shot once, then everybody else would have shot him. Period. Witnesses said they were just lying on the ground waiting for him to reload, which did not happen since he had large capacity magazines and multiple guns. Have you noticed | Read More »
O.K. gang, I have just witnessed the deliberative mechanics of the state as it ponderously attempts to discern what constitutes an eyesore. We are at its most basic level, local gubmint, so we are able to witness its naked incompetence without the fog of byzantine political machinations, although some less complex politics are surely at play. In any event, a resident of a mid-sized Southern city has allowed the vegetative growth | Read More »
Liberal writers like Maureen Dowd are fond of bloviating about the psychological underpinnings of Republican presidents, especially Bush I and II. O.K., since Obama’s father was, shall we say, “emotionally absent” (among other things), let’s use his other daddy, you know, Jeremiah “Chickens” Wright. This hateful man has left a rich and pungent trail of recorded evidence and testimony on which to base his likely | Read More »
Let’s start at the beginning. You know, the on-going claim for reparations, which alone embraces all the race arguments in one. Although constantly voted down as a terrible idea, reparations have actually been in place without a vote (just like abortion and soon gay marriage) for many years. We have transferred at least 3 trillion to the “Poor” since LBJ’s “Great? Society” of ’60′s vintage. Affirmative | Read More »
Thomas Sowell recently wrote a couple of articles entitled “A Cynical Process” parts One and Two. He concludes the second thusly: “At the local level as well, history shows that some of the most successful politicians have been people who ruined the local economy and chased job-creating businesses away. Mayor Coleman Young of Detroit in the 1970s and 1980s was not worried when affluent whites began | Read More »
What have I been doing about it you ask? Well, I have been writing about such things for the last several years on this very RS forum. I have taken every opportunity to make the point in casual conversations that identity politics eventually harms most those it is ostensibly designed to help. I have written letters to the editor on the topic and made responses | Read More »
The subtext for the 2012 election has already been set. Presto! Chango! With a dazzeling flash and mighty “Hi-Oohh, Silver”, a vote for Barry will now be counted as a vote for Trayvon and a vote for Mitt will be seen as a vote for Zimmerman. See how easy that was? Now, Obama’s thoroughly politicized DOJ will wait until a pivotal point in the election process | Read More »
What has replaced it? I’ll tell you what: a devil’s brew of Godless political correctness, children without parents, teachers without control, nihilism in theory and practice, and Hollywood glamorization of guns, sex and death. Will someone please explain to me where this character T. J. Lane’s parents were when he was posting stuff like the following on his FB page? (I’ve redacted some of the more “poetic” | Read More »
Left wing academics cum politicians are great at the art of misdirection and Obama is nothing if not an academic/politician – a poor one, but one nonetheless. So why do so many voters keep on believing him? He would dispute it, but his contention that, say, The Heritage Foundation is only concerned about tax cuts for the rich is right out of the Communist Manifesto. He believes conservative think tanks, as | Read More »
Remember back when? Back when Warrior and others were straining to get a real conservative to run? Oh, we were accused of the most awful things. They said we were in love with Sarah Palin. They said were were a one note samba, a one horse town, or we were “fixated” on Sarah Palin. Don’t we wish we had that fresh, cool, conservative breeze now instead of | Read More »
Why don’t we all take a second and read this: http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/11/07/8684597-fourth-woman-details-sexual-harassment-allegations-against-cain I know Glory Alred is a gadfly in the conservative ointment, but this looks serious. And it won’t be the last. Can Mitt stand up to the public baggage laundering? (Talk about mixed metaphors!) What about Perry? Oh yeah, the painted rock incident. And this will go on and on. So, I know you don’t | Read More »
Now I hope Streif, Acat and all the other doubters and detractors understand what I was talking about a few months ago. Gov. Rick Perry has gone from front-runner to fall-behind because of a word painted on a rock, at a hunting camp leased by Perry’s father, which had been painted over many times before, and to which Perry has no real connection. I said that as soon as | Read More »
So ya think House Republicans are like terrorists for trying to stop America from going broke by constantly raising the debt limit rather than by fiscal restraint? Weren’t you once accused of plaiserism? Let’s see, in ’88 I think it was, you delivered parts of a speech by British Labor leader Neil Kinnock without attribution. Also, a serious plagierism incident occurred while you were in law | Read More »
Oh great. Now the presumption of innocence is on celebrities and their thugs, even when the incident has been clearly recorded on a security video. You can view it on YouTube by typing in: “Houston Airport: beating West Point cadet assault”. What you may not see, depending on the version you view, is the cadet, Houston resident Richard King, walking out of the terminal PRIOR to the incident. He | Read More »
A lot of cheap politicians like Clinton, Obama and Jackson run around blaming this, that and the other thing for Americans no longer being able to realize the American dream. Such an assertion may or may not be true, but what these types usually mean is that somehow “evil forces” are at work. The usual implication is that big corporations, racism or Republicans have treated | Read More »
Let’s see…Bush ’43 was castigated by the dino media for a whopping 4% unemployment rate. Lately, one rarely hears of the ‘O’ man’s killa’ 10% rate in the lame-media. G.W.’s economy was growing at a “languid” avg. of 3.3 % (first three years,) yet MSNBC is “optimistic” about Obama’s 1.8 % in the first quarter. G.W. was lambasted by members of his own party as a “big spender” | Read More »
However, playing the devil’s advocate, let us say that Palin is out for the time being. We still have Michele Bachmann and a host of other attractive and qualified conservative women who can run (an explanation for why “looks” are important will be forthcoming.) If Hillary runs, we will lose with Mitt Romney. We have to run a woman if the Dems do in order to | Read More »
Many critics, several on RS, have just about quenched my fire for Sarah Palin. I guess I like her because she is not intimidated by the media. Or maybe it’s because she sounds like an average woman when she talks and not some over-prepped, Tel-E-Prom-Ter poseur. Maybe it is because she stood up to the oil cabal in Alaska and won. But, let me answer | Read More »
Oh, so you think my wife and kids are ugly, huh? I got news for you dummy. Beauty is skin deep, but ugly is to the bone and brother, your as ugly as they come. Ugly is as ugly does and your big mouth is beyond ugly. You need to wake up from your (alleged) cocaine infested delusions and smell the coffee. Nobody cares about you, your (alleged) drugs, | Read More »
in most states. Not when there are unions which have to be sated. And not when 20 year-olds who would rather have a Wave Runner than a healthcare policy must have it foisted on them by the gubmint. But we have taken several steps backward in the care of the mentally ill over the last few decades. The 1971 Wyatt lawsuit in Alabama, for instance, sought to | Read More »
So says Obama, but one wonders. Is it only sycophants who are starving on a “modest” $172K a year? What about the carpet layer in Sheboygan who employs his brother-in-law and son and who splits his $200K gross earnings with two relatives and gubmint at all levels? Is HE, then, the “rich” slacker lighting cigars with hundred dollar bills? (And what about the avg family income in the U.S. — | Read More »
This is a response written by somebody calling themselves “Teufelhunden” to Ann Coulter’s recent article on liberal judges entitled, “”Repeal the 26th Amendment”. I usually don’t “borrow” so broadly, but this so perfectly expresses the difference between my childhood and those of today, I couldn’t resist. Also, it shows us that we do not really need such massive gubmint intrusion in our lives — we | Read More »
As everyone knows by now, Juan Williams was sacked by the taxpayer funded NPR yesterday for suggesting burka and keffiyeh clad muslims boarding airplanes give him the willies. Well, guess what? They do me too. Any sentient being who has read a newspaper in the past twenty years should be similarly affected. Kinda’ like the Reverend Jessie “Love Child” Jackson’s admission that he is relieved to | Read More »
Suppose the DEMS win in Nov. They continue to borrow money and kow-tow to our enemies. They raise taxes, entitlements, minimum wages, extend unemployment benefits, strengthen the unions and pass more crushing red tape and regulations on start-ups. They expand the welfare state so fully 80% of all Americans are now eligible for immediate Medicaid and or Medicaid benefits. Socialized medicine comes in (suppose another Dem | Read More »
Pastor, I appreciate the Biblical command that we serve “the needy.” You mentioned that “the needy” are in “the projects.” I wonder. As a case manager for the severely mentally ill, I was a guest in many apartments in “the projects.” I could see no need for anything but responsible choices. 1st John talks of the “world’s goods.” Well brother, they have got them. I have big | Read More »
