- Snarky POTUS… 2013-06-29Despite what the diehards on MSNBC and CNN would have you believe, the President’s poll numbers are dropping. No longer hovering around the 49 percent approval rating, they have now begun a marching decline, with the last RCP average at … Continue reading →patriot64

I am not writing today to debate … Continue reading →patriot64

When my young son wanted to do some extra credit work for his middle school “social studies” class, I was obviously happy to help. Regrettably however, that assignment, and the eventual discussion it generated, confirmed for me what many have … Continue reading
Special Counsel please…
It is certainly curious that Lois Lerner’s attorney has included immunity as a condition of her testimony. One could assume she has something to hide. (Really?) One could also reasonably assume she’s protecting someone else. (Really??) So far as I can … Continue reading

God’s Work???
So let me understand this. We can no longer talk about God in the classroom, and our government legislates businesses owners must set aside their religious convictions. Those same elected officials facilitate and promote an entitlement society, devoid of personal … Continue reading

Politics trumps “We the People” once again, as we navigate the remainder of the Obama era – “error”. It seems now just in time for the next election(s), corporations and businesses will be allowed yet another reprieve, while individuals continue to be … Continue reading
Whitehouse’s clever memory lapse…
It seems one of the Obama Administrations biggest cheerleaders thinks Republicans want to “punish” the long term unemployed. Well someone should remind Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, how it is that unemployment in his tiny state has come to be … Continue reading
A year of “executive” action…
President Obama made his weekly address this weekend and announced once again, his intention to trample the very document he swore an oath to “preserve, protect, and defend”. The irony of course, is that circumventing our founding principles and laws … Continue reading

“It’s not resonating”…
FOX’s O’Reilly was asked why he thought “Benghazi” has not gotten any “traction”. His answer was simple. “It’s not resonating“. Translation, President Obama, (and Hillary for that matter), are counting on the fact the American people don’t care enough to … Continue reading
“Not a smidgen of truth” to his presidency…
Apparently, the President didn’t feel he was arrogant and smug enough during the SOTU. Nevertheless O’Reilly hung in there, though Bill is always quick to give this president the benefit of the doubt on matters of motive. That said, the … Continue reading

Once again President Obama is caught between ideology and reality. President Clinton was masterful at navigating these kinds of pitfalls, because he was always a politician first. Barack Obama however, is a second term ideologue who actually believes his own talking points. … Continue reading

Healthcare for all???

Food for thought, sent from “Patriot64’s” iPhone… The story of Nelson Mandela must include his time in a South African prison, as well as how that horrible period shaped his future. The destroyer of Apartheid will rightfully be remembered as a … Continue reading
