obama’s Had His Fair Shot
22 May 2012 4:12 pm

barack obama, in a calculated, targeted attack against Republican rival Mitt Romney, attempted to dismiss Romney’s key rationale for his presidential candidacy by saying: “When you’re president, as opposed to the head of a private equity firm, then your job is not simply to maximize profits. Your job is to figure out how everybody in the country has a fair shot.”
Obviously, obama’s unfamiliar with the concept that jobs are downstream from profits, not the other way around. With the exception of the original staff, which is hired to launch a …

The 2013 Tax Increase obama Pledged Would Never Happen
21 May 2012 4:11 pm

If the White House and Congress don’t act this year, a huge, unprecedented tax increase described by Ben Bernanke as a “massive fiscal cliff” will slam American taxpayers. This looming tax hike will result mostly from lettinglong-standing tax policies expire at the end of 2012.
Instead of waiting until after November’s election, obama should stopcampaigning for a moment and start working with Congress to prevent this gargantuan tax increase from taking place. Not only would doing so give assurance to families, businesses, and investors that taxes won’t be rising while the …

What the Obama Administration Has Taught America
19 May 2012 12:02 am

Facebook Inc.’s $16 billion initial public offering has made Mark Zuckerberg the 29th richest carbon based life form on Earth. Facebook provides entertainment and a fun way to spend your leisure time. America should love Zuckerberg. Whatever happens, do not ever criticize him for not paying hisfair share of taxes…he’s cool in the administration’s eyes and they’re down with whatever he does. Heck, he might even turn out to be as cool as George Clooney.
According to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the top three U.S. oil companies alone paid …

Choose Your Stimulus
17 May 2012 6:50 pm

The Spanish Economic Ministry denied there’s been a surge in withdrawals from the nation’s banks, while Spain’s Prime Minister warned that borrowing costs could reach “astronomical” proportions over fears about the weakness of Spain’s financial institutions.
Greeks have been taking their savings out of banks, with nearly a third taken out during this year’s first quarter. Since May 7th, at least 700m euros have been withdrawn from Greek banks. Uncertainty over Greece’s exit from the eurozone is stirring global fears about Europe’s monetary future.
France’s new socialist government will not ratify the …

Expect the Institutionalized “progressive” Left to Come Out in Force
16 May 2012 3:30 pm

Comedian Bill Maher gave $1 million to one of President Obama’s SuperPACs. Actor Alec Baldwin’s on record saying that Obama’s re-election ‘In the Bag’.Lanny Davis, who writes for The Hill, is busy covering up for U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder during Congressional investigations into the murder of U.S. Border Agent Brian Terry and hundreds of Mexican citizens resulting from the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms Fast and Furious gun-runningscandal. MSNBC stopped inviting Conservative author Matt Lewis to contribute on-air after the site he works for, the Daily Caller, reported about the …

Cradle to Grave Suicide
15 May 2012 8:10 pm

Alexis Tsipras, head of Greece’s Radical Left Coalition, declared that country’s commitment to austerity is over because voters have rejected those deals. “There is no way we will sneak back in again what the Greek people threw out”, Tsipras said. “This is an historic moment for the Left and the popular movement and a great responsibility for me,” he added, saying he would try to form a left-wing government that will “end the agreements of subservience” with Greece’s bailout creditors. “The pro-bail-out parties no longer have a majority in parliament …

Two Cheers For the House of Representatives
12 May 2012 5:18 pm

Cheers for Indiana Democratic Rep Joe Donnelly, who broke rank with “progressives” to support the Fast and Furious subpoena in Congress. Rep Donnelly expressed support for the Oversight Committee’s subpoena of Attorney General Eric Holder over documents related to the failed Operation Fast and Furious scandal. This was a big step taken by Donnelly since it means that “progressive” Democrats like Rep Elijah Cummings of Maryland can no longer claim that the investigation is a wholly partisan issue.
“One of the duties of Congress is to provide oversight of the Executive …

How obama’s Gay Marriage Views Have ‘Evolved’
12 May 2012 12:02 am

obama announced Wednesday that he now supports same-sex marriage, reversing his public opposition after feeling pressure from several Democrats, including his own Vice President, Joe Biden.
obama’s position on same-sex marriage has changed several times during his hideously dishonest, radically motivated, meteoric career. In 1996, he was in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage. Then, in 2008 his view “magically” switched to “marriage is between a man and a woman”. More recently, up untilWednesday, his opinion was “evolving”.

What this reveals about obama is how coldly calculating is his timing. Each and every …

US Administration Renews Push to Ratify Law of Sea Treaty
12 May 2012 12:01 am

The Obama administration has initiated a renewed push to convince the U.S. Senate to approve the 1982 United Nations Law of the Sea treaty. Administration officials claim approval of the pact is necessary to protect the U.S. Navy’s right to carry out exercises off the coast of China. In the past Chinese ships have harassed U.S. vessels.
The administration’s push to approve the treaty comes at a time of increased focus by the Pentagon on China’s military buildup and the expansion of its influence in the Asia-Pacific region. The Pentagon is …

Final Landing of the USS Enterprise
27 Apr 2012 4:21 pm

The experience of watching the space shuttle Enterprise circle New York City on its way to JFK Airport can be described in many different ways. One of the words viewers most frequently used about the sight was “bittersweet”. As Enterprise piggybacked its way on a 747 to its final landing, Americans turned out in large numbers to view the flight. The predominant mood was nostalgia.
Originally named the Constitution, the first space shuttle was re-named Enterprise, thanks largely to a huge write in campaign by fans of the enormously popular sci-fi …

The Tea Party vs The Status Quo
23 Mar 2012 10:04 pm

Much has been said since the November 2010 election about “establishment Republicans” co-opting Senators and Representatives elected with Tea Party support.
What “establishment Republicans” evidently refuse to accept is, every Republicans elected in November 2010 owes huge thanks to the Tea Party. “Establishment Republicans” need to understand that Tea Party grassroots activists have had enough of their “learn your place and do as you’re told” attitude towards the Tea Party.
In America’s recent political past, there was the “Silent Majority”. “Establishment Republicans” need to understand that the Tea Party is the “Silent …

Grasping at Energy Straws
16 Mar 2012 5:37 pm

In February 2012 New York Democratic Senator Charles Schumer called upon Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to request Saudi Arabia increase their oil production to make up for potential disruptions in the world’s oil supply resulting from Iranian saber-rattling. Schumer’s unhidden rationale was that such a pledge from the Saudis would drive down gasoline prices in America
http://thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/e2-wire/216057-schumer-saudi-arabis-plan-to-increae-oil-output-will-lower-gas-prices
This ill-advised strategy was clearly politically driven. While the idea of higher gasoline prices, and the accompanying increase in the price of gas dependent goods and services is consistently rejected by average Americans, this …

More obamacare Lies
16 Mar 2012 5:24 pm

“obamacare” was sold on a lie and passed against the wishes of the majority of Americans.
To make matters worse, in an unprecedented move, the man who administers Medicare and Medicaid was appointed in a clearly obvious move to bypass the Constitutional provision for Legislative oversight.
You won’t be keeping your healthcare and your doctor if you like them. There’s going to be a single payer system complete with rationing. It was sold as “a robust public option” because that sounds so much better than death panel. However, if you listen to …

What Now Passes as Today’s “News”
12 Mar 2012 4:29 pm

Monday March 12, 2012…Today’s “news” begins with the headline: The Most Aired Political Campaign Ads.
A sub-headline reads: Obama’s “Unprecedented” commercial was shown 6,190 times before Super Tuesday.
At first, by mentioning campaign ads from multiple candidacies, this article flirts with the idea of integrity. A flirtation which disappointingly dissolves in the face of the ‘mention the favorite candidate’s ad first’ sub-headline. Will “progressives” explain why there’s no outcry against Dylan Stableford for stating “Barack Obama has spent $63 million, a little less than half of his $136 million war chest”? Weren’t …

ABC News That’s Not So New
6 Mar 2012 7:44 pm

One of the breaking headline news stories online from ABC News just today, Tuesday, March 6, 2012 reads: Green Firms Get Fed Cash, Give Exec Bonuses, Fail.
http://news.yahoo.com/green-firms-fed-cash-execs-bonuses-fail-200314806–abc-news.html
Ronnie Greene and Matthew Mosk, for ABC News, aggressively reporting news with an edge, convey how companies like Solyndra, Ener1and Beacon Power took money from the Department of Energy, paid bonuses to executives, then proceeded to file for bankruptcy. How unfortunate for Greene, Mosk and ABC News, that that edge of theirs is so desperately in need of major sharpening. Conservative journalists have been …

Rush Limbaugh Is Not The Problem
4 Mar 2012 1:11 am

This is not a defense of Rush Limbaugh. Rush can take care of himself. This is about a much bigger problem within a much bigger picture.
Have you seen the latest hit piece on Yahoo’s Destination 2012 web-site by David Crary of the Associated Press? Not surprisingly, this latest salvo is aimed directly at Rush Limbaugh. Contrary to the opinion being fostered by the institutionalized “progressive” left smear machine and their eager lapdogs in the “progressive” Party Pravda, Rush Limbaugh is not the problem.
http://news.yahoo.com/limbaugh-slur-law-student-draws-obama-fray-091840204.html
Crary’s failed attempt at journalism is yet another …

The Gettysburg Address Today
2 Mar 2012 5:45 pm

On June 1, 1865, Senator Charles Sumner commented on what is now considered the most famous speech by President Abraham Lincoln. In his eulogy on the slain president, he called it a “monumental act.” He said Lincoln was mistaken that “the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here.” Rather, the Bostonian remarked, “The world noted at once what he said, and will never cease to remember it. The battle itself was less important than the speech.”
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on …

“progressive” Reporting on Scott Walker’s Recall Election
27 Feb 2012 9:02 pm

There’s so much empty, hateful “progressive” rhetoric in this “article” written by David Chalian it’s truly painful.
Scott Walker, Wisconsin governor, braces for recall election, proclaims controversial law is working
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/scott-walker-wisconsin-governor-braces-recall-election-proclaims-120437772.html
First Chalian begins his “article” with an openly biased headline (since once must not miss opportunities to repeat the “progressive”–the law is “controversial”–narrative) that is followed by repeated insinuations regarding Gov. Walker’s alleged lack of integrity.
For example: “In addition to trying to engender sympathy among voters for being targeted by forces outside his state” or “Walker is eager to sell himself as …

Who’s Offering Economic Solutions?
25 Feb 2012 5:30 pm

Given America’s growing national debt, now in excess of $15 trillion:
http://www.usdebtclock.org/
A per capita government debt that’s worse than Greece’s:
http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/chart-america-s-capita-government-debt-worse-greece_631797.html
Unemployment numbers “officially” listed at 8.5%:
http://www.bls.gov/bls/newsrels.htm#OEUS
Petroleum prices trending higher, adding pain at the pump for consumers while decreasing money available to them for spending on vital necessities like food and shelter:
http://www.livecharts.co.uk/trend_signals/trend_forecast_chart_selector.php?ts=Futures_WI
A statement like: “America’s in need of economic solutions” is certainly far from a stretch. Many would say such a statement falls more into the “You have a firm grasp of the obvious” category.
The questions are:
Who will offer the solutions? What solutions …

“progressives” Don’t Care if Americans Suffer at the Pump
20 Feb 2012 4:50 pm

There’s widespread consensus in the United States that America needs to become less dependent on foreign oil. America’s growing, ongoing dependence on foreign sources puts her at ever-greater risk in an unstable world. This instability drives the costs higher.

“progressives” who feel an overwhelming compulsion to immediately replace America’s existing carbon economy with a green one couldn’t be happier with the higher costs. The current administration and fellow “progressives” continue to push America towards the green end, come what may. Stiffer regulations on auto makers, stifling EPA regulations on energy producers, …
