President O-Blame-a is at it again. Did you hear him say, “I will not have another debate with this Congress over whether or not they should pay the bills that they’ve already racked up through the laws that they passed” on New Years night in relation to Debt Ceiling negotiations. He’s not going to try [...]

Long Overdue Post

Time to dust off the ol’ keyboard and write a post. I’ve been busy… working, oddly enough in this economy. Actually, I am helping a friend remodel a house (he’s a contractor and had to fire his workers for drinking on the job, leaving him in a tough position after getting his bid accepted to [...]

One question: When did determining whether or not a law is Constitutional according to the letter of the Constitution become something an “activist” court does? Isn’t that what a court, especially the Supreme Court, should do? President Obama’s made an incredibly stupid comment regarding what the role of the Supreme Court actually is. That’s been [...]

What does it say when your best offensive weapon is to depend on people’s ignorance, to mislead, misrepresent, obfuscate, and to engage in magical thinking (one of the hallmarks of an immature human being)? It says you are the President of the United States, or at least that you’re a Democrat. What is the first [...]

People are fond of saying that money corrupts politics. They seem especially annoyed by money from businesses  corrupting politics. Isn’t this a little like saying that the bear is corrupting the honey pot (picture Pooh Bear)? My theory is that it is the willingness of politicians to alter the rules of the game economically, through [...]

Deception In Pursuit of Power

A quickie post about something I have mentioned before in other posts, but it’s so irritating that I am compelled to bring it up again. The Obama administration, in its zeal to blame everything on somebody else, refers to the 2009 budget deficit as the deficit he “inherited.” Approximately $1.3 trillion dollars. What is never [...]

In an election year sometimes the bad news is good news. It clarifies what some would rather obfuscate. Unfortunately, it’s still bad news and it means people will be hurting. The news we’re hearing, and experiencing, now is the rise in gasoline prices. That is good news in an election year when you oppose the [...]

How Stupid Are They?

I have a lot of left wing friends. In fact, I’m often on an island by myself amid Democrat talking points. It’s frustrating, but I like people for more than their political views and I occasionally get through. It’s not always easy, given the volume of the bad info people are getting and the lack [...]

Irritation

No comments

I’m irritated by Democrats. Could somebody please tell me what government is so good at that we should keep growing it? Is it good at healthcare? Let’s see, Medicare and Medicaid cause all kinds of problems, distort pricing of medical care, are underfunded, and the government itself says there is an amazing amount of fraud [...]

Fairness Again… Sheesh

No comments

I have to admit, I didn’t listen to the SOTU last night. To be honest, I can’t stand to hear Obama speak. His cadences drive me crazy and his content is so divorced from reality that I just get angry. However, I read recaps and printed excerpts. Again, the man talked about some nebulous concept [...]
