- 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

Defend our military…
You won’t get an argument from me about the military needing to take a good hard look at the way it spends its money, but rather we’d be talking about things like less bureaucratic waste and more of what soldiers … Continue reading

No admission fees for 9/11 Memorial…
In the age of Obama, when it’s certainly fashionable to embrace excessive government spending i.e. (waste and fraud by the trillions), does it strike anyone else as ludicrous that we’re whacking folks $24.00 a head to view the 9/11 Memorial … Continue reading

The battle lines have clearly been drawn and the Democrats have chosen the “phony scandal” philosophy, albeit with a twist this time. It seems they’ve decided to drag the Benghazi families into the fray. Now I’m sure I don’t have … Continue reading

Wrong Commander in Chief for the job…
Understanding the actual role of this nation’s armed forces has proven difficult for the Obama Administration. It causes them to think about the potential for conflict, and this is outside the lines for the utopian crowd. You see, there would … 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

“All red lines have been crossed”…
The President is off on yet another campaign bus trip. So pre-occupied with damage control as his “college try” domestic agenda collapses around him, the POTUS has now completely backed himself into a corner on foreign policy. Egypt’s al-Sisi is telling the … Continue reading
