- 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

- POTUS knows best… 2013-06-25The science of “climate change” is debatable at best, and while curbing pollution should be an objective of any civilized nation, it mustn’t come solely at the expense of the economic stability necessary to pay for it. I am not writing today to debate … Continue reading →patriot64

The art of the “debate”…
We are truly living in defining times here in the U.S. While a flamboyant presidential candidate is ridiculed by the press for telling the truth, the present occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue redefines the word debate almost hourly, leaving many … Continue reading

Checking the Liberal numbers…
So I’m watching the news and I hear Democrat Chris Murphy lauding stats from you guessed it, the “Every Town for Gun Safety” bunch, who are claiming a shooting a week occurs in schools across the country. Really? Well, not … Continue reading
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

It seems everywhere we turn these days less than honorable folks are attempting to re-write history and portray our nation as something evil. Even our so-called educators are now indoctrinating our children and filling their heads with false narratives, designed … Continue reading
Hitching a ride on a failed presidency…
Quite frankly, whether it’s the Administration’s failure to lead on really any level internationally, or the president’s own indifference to our military which provides for the freedoms we enjoy, I think it’s fair to say that the status of our … Continue reading

Chief Justice John Roberts flew in the face of his own vote on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act subsidies when he penned the dissent for the minority in the “same sex marriage” decision today. Roberts reminded us that … Continue reading

Notwithstanding the president’s misguided ideological assessment of the violence in Charleston, I’ve still been hesitant to engage in the inevitable debate over gun control which always seems to be at the top of the Liberal solution list. I suppose the … Continue reading

The subject of patriotism came up on one of the talking-head cable shows today and a reference was made to the Lexington High School “American Pride” school dance. It seems school administrators, in all their infinite “wisdom”, thought a few folks … Continue reading

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

In the broader sense, world history draws a detailed and obvious map should we of the 21st century choose to follow it. Much of the problem however comes when that history is shelved, revised, or otherwise ignored. In the more … Continue reading

Is it race, or something more???
The issue of tension between police and minorities in this country is a double edge sword to be sure, with roots on both sides of the argument. But first the facts, as supported by all available evidence. On July 17, … Continue reading

Merry Christmas 2014???
Is there “racism” in our country? Yes, though that word speaks to an environment which hasn’t existed in the U.S. for some time. It’s more a broad brush/excuse, used by some of less than honorable intent, to paint an incomplete … Continue reading

Bruce Springsteen has never really been what he makes himself out to be. The whole working class hero thing is the long ago manufactured tag-line of an aspiring musician who cut his first record in his very early 20’s. Springsteen lived … Continue reading

The midterm elections were a reminder of the ideological differences dividing our nation. They were also a reminder that overall, “We the People” will eventually catch on that we’re being bamboozled by those we elect to high office. Notwithstanding generational … Continue reading

I think the POTUS might be right, at least to the extent “ISIS” is not “Islamic” per se. I would add however, there is at least a quasi “religious” component to the Islamic States of Iraq and Syria, as I … Continue reading

It’s been extraordinary lately, watching our president basically walk away from his responsibilities to “We the People” and the Constitution. What’s more, he seems perfectly content to do so. I’ve done a little research and the term “lame duck” simply … Continue reading
