Intellectual Game-Changer / Simple Marxist

Some are describing Obama as a deep intellectual guy, quick on his feet, politically shrewd in that he keeps his opponents on their heels wondering what comes next. Looks like your garden variety liberal to me. A New Dealer, a comrade for the Great Society. When he talks about transforming America, he’s catering to progressive elements using glib, catchy rhetoric, a meta-language filled with generalisms &...

Peeves To Pet, Axes To Grind

    My mom used the expression s a lot, which meant the things we kids did to annoy her – and dad, the dog etc. She commented that way once or twice and we’d get the message.           Ax to Grind is another one, implying something on one’s chest, troubling, burdensome, needing to be aired out. Dealt with. In truth, one only sharpens an ax for two reasons: work &...

Rino’s V. Conservative Manifesto

I recently read a piece by a conservative commentator extolling the virtues of so-called RINO’s and moderates in the republican party, suggesting their middle-of-the-road approach will work much better than the harsh stance presented by hardline teapartiers. Their voice is too strident, posture too intractable, to offer much help with negotiation and compromise. Except > if she would stop and think for a minute...

No Euphemisms Here!

Hillary & gang say they’ve told us all we need to know about Benghazi. Anything they left out, hey, what’s the difference? Due respect Madam Dufus, but your hubris is unbelievable! Ambassador Rice acted on the best intel available, relying on it exclusively. Bull, Madam Spokeshole! They told you what to say and you spouted the party line, truth be damned! What did they offer, State? That didn’t work out...

Deck chairs again!

So, none of the president’s proposals will add to the debt, not one dime. Says it’s already accounted for in prior deals, cuts and savings. What kind of shell game is he playing? The debt clock is spinning like a top, adding millions every minute nearing $17Tril, yet we hear nothing about halting or reducing spending, nothing how we must get debt under control, nothing about fixing Medicare & Social...

Pillory Hillary

At the risk of repeating myself, who the hell does Hillary Clinton think she is? Way bigger than a mere Secretary of State, obviously. Bigger than a president? Acts like it. Bigger than her critics and antagonists? Treats them dismissively, with contempt and absolute hubris, so evidently so. But the real problem, the kick in the face that begs for payback, his her utter and callous disregard for the feelings and needs of the...
