Beating Barack Obama and ending the damage he can do to this country is one of the most important tasks facing this country. Much to my chagrin, many of my fellow conservatives are all to willing to do Obama’s bidding in taking down Mitt Romney. What does that leave?
Newt Gingrich? Continue reading
For much of the last three years, I, like so many others who were so despondent after the election of 2008, assumed that the election of 2012 was finally going to provide the American people with a real choice of philosophies.
On the one side you have President Obama and the progressive / fascist utopia. (Fascist in the economic sense – where private property remains, but government dictates its usage – rather than the Nazi anti-Semitic / nationalist sense.) This utopia is where government plays the role of caretaker of the nation, where government tells citizens what they can and can’t do with their property, what they must buy and where they must invest, where unions have the power to coerce both government officials and private corporations that pay their members salaries.

So Obama’s 3rd press conference in 17 days is over and absolutely nothing was learned, once again. No specifics, just a rehash of his last two press conferences.
If this was his idea of “going to the American people” then he failed miserably. Continue reading
It’s not uncommon to hear liberals ridicule conservatives for wanting a Constitutional government by suggesting that they are seeking to return to a time when blacks were considered 3/5 of a person and that the Constitution is somehow permanently damaged because it did not outlaw slavery. (At the time of the Constitution’s ratification in 1789 slavery was still legal in the British and French Empires – although not in England and France themselves – Spain, Denmark & Norway as well as most of the Middle East, Africa and Asia.)

News Before it Happens
This prediction has been made by others (like Dr. John in Flopping Aces): the coming election, from the Democrat controlled media, is going to be all about race. Anything a Republican says about Obama is racist or code words for racism.
Easy call: Israel is not going back to its 1967 borders. Continue reading
While the nation remains conveniently distracted by a barrage of punditry on the UBL killing and mission details, I’m reminded of the old saying… watch my left hand whilst I pick your pocket with my right. Thus the haps as, quietly and without fanfare, the Republicans decided to forego penning any any Medicare legislative reform on Thursday. House Ways and Means Chair, David Camp, confirmed that despite Ryan budget passage and promises, the House majority will offer up no bill because “it stands no chance of getting passed by the Democratic-led Senate.

So we have Obama out on the campaign trail trying to drum up support for his economic plan to bring down the deficit. His plan…tax the wealthy.
And the more class warfare he can drum up the better. Continue reading
Every day that Obama is in the White House we get further proof, not that we need it, that all we wants to do is redistribute wealth like a good little Socialist:
“I said, ‘You want to repeal health care? Go at it,’” Obama said. “‘We’ll have that debate. You’re not going to be able to do that by nickel-and-diming me in the budget. You think we’re stupid?’”
We don’t have a revenue problem Mr. President….we have a spending problem. Get it through your head.
President Barack Obama will lay out his plan for reducing the nation’s deficit Wednesday, belatedly entering a fight over the nation’s long-term financial future. But in addition to suggesting cuts—the current focus of debate—the White House looks set to aim its firepower on a more divisive topic: taxes.
In a speech Wednesday, Mr. Obama will propose cuts to entitlement programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, and changes to Social Security, a discussion he has largely left to Democrats and Republicans in Congress. He also will call for tax increases for people making over $250,000 a year, a proposal contained in his 2012 budget, and changing parts of the tax code he thinks benefit the wealthy.
Because that’s all it is.
A truce.
They made a deal late last night to fund the government for another six months, while cutting 49 billion, and not defunding the abortion factory, er, Planned Parenthood. So both sides got a bit what of they wanted…which is how negotiations are supposed to work. Continue reading
