If You Can't Dazzle 'Em With Brilliance…

May 9, 2009

Baffle 'em with you-know-what.
If Washington D.C. has a credo, that must surely be it. The media isn't far behind.
But before I get into that, I'd like to take a moment to thank President Obama for saving us all from last week's swine flu pandemic (worldwide epidemic). Just think, if Bush was still the President, [...]

Meet "Fiscally Responsible" Obama

April 21, 2009

If any of you rightwing extremists (veterans and/or advocates of the U.S. Constitution, according to DHS head Janet Napolitano) or Tea Party protesters (racist, misguided, whining, crazy, unpatriotic people, according to the left) think President Barack Obama is not fiscally responsible, you better think again. Yes, Obama has spent trillions of dollars in three short [...]

More Tea Parties Coming

April 19, 2009

For those of you who mistakenly think the Tea Party movement is only about being anti-Obama, I suggest you watch the following video, where GOP Representative Gresham Barrett (R-SC) is booed throughout his remarks at the Greenville, S.C. Tea Party. Barrett is being booed because he voted for the $700 billion Bush TARP bailout.

Very impressive. Cleveland had an estimated 1,500 (according to WKYC) at it's tax day Tea Party. The Associated Press said "tens of thousands" attended the Tea Parties across the country. The actual attendance figure has to be in the hundreds of thousands, because there were upwards of 800 Tea Party events held, though I have [...]

Political Tidbits Of The Week

April 11, 2009

What if Bush or Palin said this ?: "It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There's a lot of — I don't know what the term is in Austrian — wheeling and dealing — and, you know, people are pursuing their interests, [...]

American Tax Discrimination

April 4, 2009

The front of the Supreme Court building declares "equal justice under the law." The Declaration Of Independence states that "all men are created equal." The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says states must provide "equal protection under the law." We have many laws prohibiting discrimination.
But we don't mean it. Our government practices discrimination [...]

Balancing The Federal Budget Today

February 27, 2009

Every American presidential administration comes up with a plan to balance the federal budget. The plan is almost always the same. It is a long range plan that will take many years to accomplish, usually ending after the administration proposing it is out of office. Then, when the balanced budget plan fails, the administration can [...]

February 16, 2009

Campaign promise:
"sunlight is the best disinfectant…and when there's a bill that ends up on my desk as President, you, the public, will have five days to look online and find out what's in it, before I sign it." – Barack Obama
Reality:

Be A Patriot, Stick 'Em Up

February 9, 2009

Moderate Republican Senators Arlen Specter, Susan Collins, and Olympia Snowe are indicating they will defect from GOP ranks and vote in favor of President Obama's $825 billion porkulus bill ($1.1 trillion counting interest), thus giving Obama the 60 vote supermajority he needs to pass it. That makes the Congressional Republican tally on Obama's porkulus package [...]

Only The First Step

February 5, 2009

President Obama signed the SCHIP expansion into law yesterday amid great Democratic fanfare. As Democrats like to do, Obama pointed out a family that would benefit by his wonderful legislation (this time it was the Secrest family). Unmentioned, of course, were the hundreds of thousands of families to be hurt by the tax increase which [...]

Don't Ask Joe Biden Fundamental Questions

October 28, 2008

This presidential election is about the future direction of our country. It is a referendum on what type of country we want in America. There are fundamental differences between the progressive (Obama/Biden) view and the conservative (McCain/Palin) view. As I see it, the differences are fairly stark, and are illustrated clearly by looking at tax [...]
