That is all.

Republican Sen. Tom Coburn recently suggested that seniors will die sooner if Congress passes the medicare cuts in the health care bill. He has gotten all kinds of grief about that from the left, but I think they may have forgotten that Coburn was a practicing physician for 25 years. I think he knows how […]

Well, you knew the comparison was bound to happen. Tiger and Pres. Obama. But who would have guessed it would come from a liberal at the Huffington Post titled “Two Black Role Models Done In By Hubris“? In the past few weeks, the two most famous and arguably most successful black men in America have […]

We are at a tipping point. I think today we will know if this boondoggle of a healthcare bill will pass or not. We Republicans have never been a part of this. The Democrats like to pretend that Republicans were holding things up, but it was always the reasonable: people in their own party. Yesterday they […]

You know the healthcare fight is getting desperate on the left when they start going after the wife of the independent they see standing in their way. Oh boy. Washington (CNN) – Sen. Joe Lieberman — whose opposition to a public insurance option has drawn outrage from liberal groups for months — is used to […]

Who said great news can’t come out of a bad economy? As The New York Times reported yesterday, the ACLU this year, largely without warning, lost its single largest source of funding as a result of the financial crisis. The loss of that individual donor, who had been contributing $20 million per year, was a […]

One of the things I cannot stand about the left is how they answer an argument that was never made. Case in point. Sarah Palin has a thoughtful informed piece at the WaPo today about climategate, her own personal experience with climate change, and what we need to do to move forward. “But while we […]

You thought you were done with that when you graduated, right? Well, this is just one of the many boondoggles that our stimulus dollars went to. I’m thinking that maybe somewhere along the line someone got confused on what: the word “stimulus” actually means. Perhaps they took it to mean the human body and not the […]

I can’t get over how Pres. Obama cannot seem to take the smallest of criticism. Does he even realize how whiny he seems? President Barack Obama recently called Rep. John Conyers Jr. to express his frustrations with the Judiciary Committee chairman’s criticism. In an interview with The Hill, Conyers said his opinions of Obama’s policies […]

I suppose you have heard by now that on the night of Pres. Obama’s Afghanistan speech given at West Point, Chris Matthews of MSNBC said on air that he found it interesting that Obama had made the decision to speak at “the enemy camp.” It was a despicable thing to say, but coming from “a […]

Really. We are. I was on twitter during the President’s speech and my lefty twitter friends are so upset at Obama. The “F” word: was everywhere. On the right I see support, suspicion, and relief. The arguments I am hearing from the right seem pretty weak to me. They argue that we shouldn’t do a “surge […]

I’m going to get a head start on Obama’s Afghanistan war speech, because after he speaks it will be all people are talking about. It looks: as if: Obama is going to give Gen. McChrystal just about all he wanted in troop levels (30,000 troops). Obama tells us he has a plan and we just need to […]

A recent discussion on the myths of conservatism got me to doing some research on conservatism. The answers I found didn’t surprise me, but it might some liberals. The Pew Research Center did several surveys to determine who was happy. Not surprisingly Republicans were happier than Democrats or Independents. 45% to 30% to 29%. In […]

Noel Sheppard pointed out: at Newsbusters yesterday that Chris Matthews once again accuses the Tea Party goers of being too white: “This is a largely white — almost no minorities in this crowd,” reported MSNBC’s O’Donnell live from the scene. Matthews reiterated, “Well, they look like a white crowd to me,” later claiming, “I think there […]

I used to think Jon Stewart was funny. Sure he bashed Bush, but he at least gave the Democrats their due as well. Now his jokes go in this order; Republicans, the media, and Joe Biden. Once in a blue moon he might take a light jab at Pres. Obama. Which is absurd considering the […]

Pres. Obama could be the poster boy for what happens when others see you as weak. Obama imagined that bowing and scraping and using his pretty words would endear him to the world. He imagined he would show the international community how different he was from Bush with his “cowboy diplomacy.” Well, one thing Bush […]
