The Most Misguided People In America? Young Democratic Voters

Posted on January 5, 2010January 5, 2010 by John Hawkins

An 18 year old who supports Obama? That’s like a pig voting to put the butcher in control of his future. If Obama has his way, an 18-year-old American will live in a declining, once great nation, without the same opportunities his parents and grandparents had. Obama is on pace to add more debt than […]

The American Air Travel Nightmare

Posted on January 5, 2010 by John Hawkins

Honestly, I HATE flying. I hate the confusion when you’re getting in and out of a strange airport. I hate showing up a couple of hours early at the airport to make sure I don’t miss my flight. I hate the obtrusive security checks. I hate the way they pack you in like sardines in […]

Very Skeptical About Scott Brown’s Chances

Posted on January 4, 2010January 4, 2010 by John Hawkins

All across the right side of the blogosphere people are hopping on the Scott Brown bandwagon. Who’s Scott Brown? He’s the Republican candidate running in a special election to replace Ted Kennedy later this month. Brown seems like a solid candidate who’s running a good campaign and he’s probably the best candidate we could get […]

The GOP Can Turn An Amnesty Bill Into A Political Bloodbath For Democrats

Posted on January 1, 2010January 1, 2010 by John Hawkins

Supposedly, after a completely disastrous 2009, the Democrats want to try their hand at amnesty in 2010. Talk about going from the frying pan into the fire: With the healthcare battle still unfinished, the Obama administration has been laying plans to take up an issue that could prove even more divisive — a major overhaul […]

Obama’s Weakness Stirs Up America’s Enemies

Posted on December 30, 2009December 30, 2009 by John Hawkins

Hey, remember when Obama was running for President and he assured everyone that foreign policy would be a snap because of his sheer wonderfulness? Why, he was going to be nice and humble and listen — not like that jerk George Bush — and nations across the world were going to all join hands and […]

A Radical Notion? Gridlock Makes For Good Government

Posted on December 29, 2009December 29, 2009 by John Hawkins

“You say we [reporters] are distracting from the business of government. Well, I hope so. Distracting a politician from governing is like distracting a bear from eating your baby.” — P. J. O’Rourke Over at the New York Times, they’re bemoaning the polarization of Congress: Much to the distress of more rebellious Republicans, House Republicans […]

Andy Martin: Republican Fruit Loop

Posted on December 29, 2009December 29, 2009 by John Hawkins

One of the downsides of getting to a certain level in the blogosphere is that candidates from all across the country slap you on their mailing lists and send you their “exciting” day-to-day exploits. “Candidate Smith comes out against deficit” “Candidate Smith to attend fund raiser” “Candidate Smith condemns opponent Jones for his boneheaded shenanigans” […]

The Top 10 Conservatives Of 2009

Posted on December 29, 2009January 2, 2010 by John Hawkins

Let’s face it: if you’re conservative, you’re not going to get your proper due from the mainstream media for your accomplishments. Case in point: Barbara Walters named Michelle Obama the most fascinating person of 2009. Really? Based on what? Her big arms? Her terrible fashion sense? The fact that she’s married to the worst President […]

* Electing the first black man as POTUS? A great moment? Yes. That man’s actual performance as President? One of America’s worst moments. * Barack Obama reminds me of Lenin.

Maureen Dowd Vs. John McCain Vs. Right Wing News

Posted on December 28, 2009December 28, 2009 by John Hawkins

While I was away, there was one particular piece that really caught my eye and surprisingly, it was by the most tedious, overrated columnist in America: Maureen Dowd. Ok, you got me — Paul Krugman is actually the most tedious, overrated columnist in America, but Modo is definitely top 5. Anyway, it was a bit […]

RNC Chairman Michael Steele’s First Blog Interview

Posted on December 18, 2009December 18, 2009 by John Hawkins

When Michael Steele ran for the Senate in 2006, the Rightroots blogger fundraising group that I ran supported him. When he ran for RNC Chair, he was my first choice.

This Week In Quotes: December 11 – December 17

Posted on December 18, 2009 by John Hawkins

People just don’t want this bill. I think the big mistake was skipping the step of winning public support for a particular plan. It wasn’t enough that people believed there was a problem. People needed to believe the solution wasn’t worse than the problem. We were supposed to look away and trust them. The trust […]

Posted on December 17, 2009December 17, 2009 by John Hawkins

Maybe it’s because this latest generation has grown up on the internet, but I’ve noticed lately that a lot of people do not seem to have an appropriate sense of what should be private and public information on the internet. People whose relationship status on Facebook goes from “In a relationship” to “It’s complicated” to […]

The Obamacare War: The Left Continues To Turn On The Bill

Posted on December 17, 2009 by John Hawkins

The honest truth is that Obamacare, at its heart, is not really about healthcare. To the contrary, it’s about giving more power to the government and by extension, the Left. If this health care bill breaks the budget, leads to millions of Americans dying prematurely because of rationing, and drives costs up, liberals are fine […]

The Left Starts To Turn On Obamacare: “Kill-The-Bill” Quotes

Posted on December 16, 2009December 16, 2009 by John Hawkins

Conservatives were shut out of giving input on Obamacare from the beginning, so there has never been any support for it from the Right. Independents have also long since turned on the bill. Now that the stealth road to a single payer system appears to have been ripped out of the bill, even a significant […]

20 Other Historic B+’s Like Obama’s

Posted on December 15, 2009December 15, 2009 by John Hawkins

As you may have heard, after one of the most disastrous first years of a presidency in the entire history of the United States, Barack Obama has evaluated his own performance and given himself a “good solid B-plus.” If the last year has been a B+, then what would a “C” entail? An asteroid destroying […]
