Told ya so…

So healthcare is finally revealed for what it is, a grand illusion performed by our president to a sleepy and complacent audience (us). Now I know I’m gonna catch heck for this one, but Mr. Obama operates much like a … Continue reading

Of Flags and Men…

The Confederate flag as most know it today actually has a number of variants, the most recognizable being the square battle flag adaptation, or the official and more rectangular Confederate flag. The commonly misused “stars and bars” phrase actually refers … Continue reading

The freedom to be ignorant…

Someone referred to me as a “nut-job” recently because I watch FOX NEWS. This made me think wow, the Left apparently still has no answer for the “fair and balanced” thing, so they continue with this childish name-calling stuff. Truth … Continue reading

JV President…

Watching the President of the United States articulate his positions and strategies can be a tedious even stressful experience for us political junkies. With less than two years remaining in his presidency, Mr. Obama still has difficulty comporting himself as … Continue reading

‘Shadow of crisis has passed’… Really?

Kudos to the Republicans for taking the highroad after last night’s State of the Union address. I have no such political desire today. As expected, the president embellished his record and misrepresented much of our nation’s current station to a … Continue reading

Death by national suicide…

Quotes are tricky things and many folks often get them wrong. While a steadfast student of history, I have also been burned by the social media quote machine a time or two. This has however, made me laser focused on … Continue reading

Post midterm…

After yesterday’s midterm elections, and laying aside the fact my home state of Rhode Island remains a microcosm for what’s wrong with our republic, it appears the Obama agenda has finally been derailed. Admittedly I believe this is a good … Continue reading

Forsaking the educated vote…

Admittedly, the fact that my 12 year-old has a deeper knowledge and understanding of civics and our founding principles than most college 20 something’s is troubling to be sure. It’s at least an indicator of more difficult times ahead for … Continue reading

Ebola/Obama…

Beckel commented on FOX recently, that Republicans always complaining about how government should be smaller are now criticizing government for the lack of adequate response to “Ebola”. Well first and foremost, CDC funding doubled during Bush 43, and is up … Continue reading

FOX on the brain…

President Obama can’t put aside his battle with Fox News. The problem is his presidency is so difficult to defend. The POTUS recently tweeted that “While affordable healthcare might still be a threat to freedom on Fox News, its working … Continue reading

Message for Barbara Boxer: Benghazi is “a scandal”…

Moreover, your defense of the Obama Administration’s handling of the 9/11/12 attack which killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, his attaché, and two military heroes, is at the very least, shameful. There are many things the government of this country does which are beyond the … Continue reading

Pool Hall Politics…

The problems at the border are old ones to be sure. Many a president has looked the other way or used Band-Aids where tourniquets were needed, and usually only in order to garner the support of a particular demographic on election … Continue reading

Immigration flyby…

First and foremost, it’s understood that what we now have at the southern border is a humanitarian crisis, ironically born out of the president’s own policies. Moreover, it’s nothing short of heart breaking to see these children being used as … Continue reading

Executive overreach…

Indeed the number of executive orders issued by President Obama is less than those of the previous two presidents. However the number is not the issue, but rather it’s the ever broadening scope of the president’s executive actions which is … Continue reading

As I watch the president’s poll numbers plummet, and I see much of what I feared would occur now come to pass, gloating would almost be too easy. But much to the chagrin of my Liberal Progressive detractors, I feel … Continue reading

Emails of consequence…

In the tech world, the loss of emails as permanent records is almost impossible these days. So it’s no wonder those in the know are chuckling at the latest IRS excuse regarding Lois Lerner’s (and others) emails. For the committee … Continue reading

What’s next???

Putting aside the obvious question of why are we now negotiating with terrorists, I think this latest White House stunt could very well cement the Obama Administration’s place in U.S. history as the most inept and corrupt ever. Moreover, if … Continue reading

Leadership is action…

It didn’t take the President long to pull the “Bush card” regarding the VA scandal. Accountability and honor are not necessarily hallmarks of this administration. Nevertheless, it’s noteworthy that many of the same responses keep coming up whenever President Obama’s … Continue reading

As we look back through the ages, we always discover the evil ones attempting to re-write history. In extreme cases we’ve witnessed unimaginable genocide as a “final solution” to the propagandized threat of a dictatorial regime. Subsequently, bloody and costly wars … Continue reading

Ultimately, the level of voter apathy and ignorance dictates the level of freedoms decay. This is evidenced by the degree of outrage we see over things like the IRS and Benghazi scandals, as well as any poll showing Hillary Clinton … Continue reading

The Bundy Ranch incident is symptomatic of a broader issue, and frankly something I’ve been predicting for quite a while. You see my fellow Americans, our system of government was never intended to function as such, and is collapsing under … Continue reading

This “Top Cop” is nothing of the sort…

The recent dust-up between Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Attorney General Eric Holder, is just another indicator of how bush-league the Obama bunch appears on any given day. Not only do they use our beloved Constitution as a punch-line in secret smoke-filled WH hide-a-ways, … Continue reading

Rhode Island politics as usual…

Term limits anyone???

I heard Congressman Steny Hoyer on FOX trying to defend “Obamacare” this morning. Same old talking points. “College kids on their parents insurance, no exclusion for pre-existing conditions, blah, blah”. Bipartisan stuff from day-one. Oh, and don’t forget we reached … Continue reading

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

Remaking the “American Dream”…

Losing that lovin’ feeling…
