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 »
Aside from the fact that no one alive today had anything to do with slavery, let us consider what specious nonsense apologies and/or reparations truly are. 1. All labor, black, white, Irish or Chinese, was paid a subsistence wage only — no one made any actual money for labor at that time. Room and board — that was it. And BTW, most sharecroppers were white | Read More »
Unfortunately, Orwell was quite predictive of the kulturesmog (thanks Emmett Tyrrell) which exists today and the reality that facts aren’t as important in polemical contests as they once were. Therefore, to win, we conservatives will have to remove the only weapon they have, i.e. the accusation of “racism” itself. We must endure it, confront it, root it out, marginalize it and minimize it. Without it, | Read More »
Eric Erickson wrote an article on RS this AM (7/13/10) in which he proclaimed himself “speechless” by Anita Dunn, former Obamma WH Comms director, who blatantly proclaimed that “tax cuts were spending, too” (presumably by the federal gubmint.) I had to reply. However, although the current diatribe began as my brief rejoinder to that article, it soon transmogrified itself into a free-floating, stream-of-consciousness venting of ALL THAT’S | Read More »
Greg Baer is deputy general counsel for corporate law at Bank of America. On a quiet Sunday afternoon two weeks ago his house was swarmed by 14 busloads of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) agitators who showed up at his front door uninvited. His 14 year old son was home alone and terrified. Their sqwak was BOA is “Greedy” because millions of people are having | Read More »
Just so there is no doubt about Barack Hussein’s position on defense and space, check this vid out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl32Y7wDVDs Let’s take the main points one by one: (Even though the first one is not directly related to space, it serves as an extremely convenient glimpse into the BHO Modus Operandi for dealing with important defense matters. That is, in the words of both Charles Krauthammer | Read More »
Who benefits from technology developed for manned space flight?? Everyone… From geologists to?archaeologists: Digital topographic data of mountain ranges, which will be available for the first time with the retrieval of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data, will allow geologists to test new models of how mountains form and determine the relative strength of the forces that uplift and crumple mountains and the erosive forces which | Read More »
I had the misfortune of watching DNC Chairperson Tim Kaine on Fox & Friends yesterday. The disingenuousness of his remarks was stunning to behold. Everything the Fox(y) lady asked was met with one unchallenged talking point after another. So, I decided to form a rebuttle. First, he blamed “gridlock in Washington” for the various failures of the O’Drama Administration. I could hardly believe my ears. Did | Read More »
the lawyers “own” the Democrats. But not just any lawyers. It’s the John Edwards’ brand of ambulance chasers who are at issue. In general, The American Trial Lawyers Assoc. for instance, and in particular, civil plaintiff trial lawyers. Now, everybody should have the right to seek redress through the courts. And most attorneys are just working stiffs who try to do the best they can | Read More »
RedState contributor “Beaglescout” quoted Star Parker in one of his comments as saying: “Republicans need to wake up [and see] that the conservative message that supposedly defines their party is a message that blacks badly need. But they aren’t going to sell it to them as long as blacks do not feel comfortable pulling the lever for Republicans. Republicans leaders should be using air time | Read More »
This morning on Fox & Friends, Al “Freddie’s Fashion Mart” Sharpton finally admitted the truth, though I doubt he realizes it. While defending Harry “No Negro Dialect” Byrd and Bill “Get Me Some Coffee” Clinton and trashing Trent Lott, Sharpton stated, basically, that such remarks were O.K. coming from the former two august personages because they helped get blacks elected. He went on to explain that Lott’s | Read More »
Regarding Prince Harry’s recent public evaluation of Prez Obambi’s skin tone, I guess one could say that it’s easy to be black and white on this issue (pun intended.) Back in ’53, George Wallace, while serving on the Alabama bench of the Third Judicial Cicuit Court, was castigated by fellow whites for refering to black attorneys who appeared before him as “Sir” and using the | Read More »
Just as Jefferson’s phrase, “…all men are created equal…” referred to certain inalienable rights and therefore equal opportunity, his “…wall of separation between church and state…” (not found in the Declaration or Constitution I hasten to add) was simply an assurance that one denomination would not be favored over another at the federal level. Yet, both have been perverted by leftist weenies to mean something entirely different. | Read More »
Oh, so now Barry wants the intel community to connect the dots. Let’s see what he has done to encourage and/or facilitate this: * His AG, Eric Holder, is now attempting to prosecute former (and present) CIA agents who were trying desperately to connect the dots * He is allowing KSM AND Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab to lawyer up, which will keep the most needed dots from | Read More »
“The 1960’s: Fascism Takes to the Streets” Favorite Chapter Quote: “Western civilization was saved when the barbarians were defeated, at least temporarily, in the early 1970′s. We should be not only grateful for our slender victory but vigilant in securing it for posterity.” Pg 199 First let me say how refreshing it is to find publications which dispel the current nostalgic patina of peace and | Read More »
Confession: We have a liberal troll who, when I don’t get a post up on Monday, sends me needling emails about what losers we all are for even attempting this. If nothing else, his email serves as a good reminder that I need to post. But this week I did not read. I got busy at the SPN Conference, then came home sick. Luckily, Warrior | Read More »
