- So much for the “Obama Spring”… 2013-07-05Economics drive politics to be sure, and while the Islamic movement remains a political force in Egypt, matters of the wallet and pocket-book will always rule the day.

- 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

Factually speaking, “We the People” of the United States have done more to address the injustice of racism while promoting human equality … 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

“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

“Black Friday” observations…
I’m still keeping my Thanksgiving cover photo up on Facebook for the weekend. I absolutely refuse to bend to the “Black Friday” ways…! Nevertheless, it’s always worth watching and pondering the motives of some in this crowd. I do believe … Continue reading

“Obamacare” is symptomatic of a larger ailment…
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

The shrinking Obama approval rating…
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

“Moral authority”???
When Chris Matthews starts talking about “moral authority” I think to myself, this idiot wouldn’t know “moral authority” if it ran over him. Nevertheless, he was referring to Republicans and how (he) felt they lacked any moral authority on the … Continue reading

“Wins and losses”…
One day after the President and Harry Reid won their battle against House Republicans and successfully kicked the budget can down the road once again, we’re still left with the lowest labor participation rate in 40 years, the most lopsided … Continue reading
“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
Gut check time…
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
To capitulate or not to capitulate…
A local radio personality was talking about how Republicans need to “learn to lose” and step away from this government shut down. Initially I agreed, more so because of what I understand both parties have become over the last century … 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

Of slings and arrows and shut downs…
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
Not too big to fail…
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

As events in Syria continue to shape the news, I thought it interesting how the conversation has shifted somewhat to whether or not the U.S. has a “moral responsibility” to act. Additionally, the question of how America sees things in relation … Continue reading

“Labor Day” 2013, a contradiction in terms…
The POTUS commented in his weekly radio address that so long as he is president he will continue to fight for the hard for working men and women of the “middle class”. I thought this ironic coming from a Chief … Continue reading

When the President of the United States jokes about the creation of sorely needed jobs in this country, it speaks to an almost palpable, albeit foolish reluctance to engage in any meaningful debate on the matter. In the case of the “Keystone XL … Continue reading

There will always be ideological disagreement. It’s one of many benefits of liberty, the right of free speech and debate. I remain convinced those rights carry responsibility as well. Nevertheless, I continue to search for the reason why our nation is in … Continue reading
