- 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

The issue of free speech has been a topic of debate at unprecedented levels throughout the era of Obama. Consequently, the very self-proclaimed spokespeople for freedom of expression and tolerance have demonstrated clearly thus far, and by way of an … Continue reading

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
“Obamacare” charade continues…
So the President’s going to try and sell this thing once again. Apparently, endless rhetoric and campaigning in place of any successful application continues unabated. Let’s take a look at what we’re seeing to date. The ACA was to include … Continue reading

So now your tax dollars are being spent, (to the tune of a million or so dollars), to seek out “Obamacare” success stories? And if that isn’t bad enough, we have to listen to sycophants like Juan Williams bashing anyone … Continue reading

It’s never surprising when I have to take something which by all appearances seems a positive action on the part of the Obama Administration, and qualify it with something else that basically cancels that action out. The recent military fly … Continue reading

Democrats now own the “nuclear option”…
In the end, it was Democrats who elected to use the so-called “nuclear option”. There is a certain irony to this as they were so openly critical when Republicans were in the majority and there was talk of such an … Continue reading

As Democrats struggle to find a way to reconcile “Obamacare” heading into the 2014 election cycle, it’s been entertaining as all get out to watch their standard-bearer roll them under the proverbial bus. It’s also amusing watching and listening to … Continue reading

Veterans Day 2013. Understanding freedom…

“Glitch” or prelude to catastrophe…
One thing can be said for President Obama, and that is he continually provides fodder for the feast… I chuckled recently when I heard the POTUS compare what media sycophants are calling “glitches”, to roll out issues with “Apple Corporation’s … Continue reading
More “Froaming” from Froma…
Froma Harrop continues her non-sensical assault on certain members of the Republican Party. Truthfully, she’s almost hard to follow at times through all the hypocrisy. Now “before I go on”, let me say Harrop apparently still doesn’t grasp the reality of our “Republic”, nor … Continue reading

With only seventeen percent of government actually shut down, it’s hard to find the calamity Harry Reid and the Libs are speaking of. This is not to diminish the trials of those needing appropriate satisfaction, in terms of legitimate government … Continue reading

“Froaming” at the mouth…
I guess it only takes (some) folks exercising their Constitutional rights to get sycophants like Froma Harrop “froaming” at the mouth. And I always find it interesting when Liberals label all free speech but their own as “extremist”. Admittedly I rather like … Continue reading

The government shutdown is certainly politics in its rawest form, with both sides vying for a toehold on the issue of a continuing resolution that would only fund the government until November 15 (Senate) or December 15 (House). That aside, the … Continue reading
The Death of Principle…
Liberals in Congress are referring to the people’s elected representatives as “Legislative arsonists”, “anarchists”, “black mailers” and “terrorists”. The Left Wing ideology of hypocrisy has always been easy to see if you’re looking. Ultimately, one need only consider President Obama’s … Continue reading

It’s unlikely Obamacare will be de-funded. This reality is born of voter apathy and ignorance as well as an utterly confusing counter message from Republicans. “A house divided” comes to mind when I listen to recent statements coming from the … Continue reading
Obamacare “Bait and Switch”…
The POTUS continues his “Obamacare” Campaign, running around touting the 2010 Congressional vote on the PPACA, the SCOTUS decision, and his second term, as proof his signature achievement is somehow the people’s will. It’s truly amazing how Liberals can manipulate reality, … Continue reading
