Grandstanding & Balderdash

When we re-elected Barack Obama last month we knew what we were getting. We’d just gone through four years and had lots of time to evaluate his policies and measure his leadership. Evidently, a majority of us were content with what we saw. What’s the problem? His failure to make a deal is no surprise. He’s not a dealmaker, like Clinton. He’s an ideologue who wants his way, and he’ll re- main...

Fiscal cliff, or fiscal 9/11?

All this talk of cliffs is misleading, since it implies there’s a pile of something at the bottom of the cliff. Bruised and torn bank notes, wrinkled credit reports, ripped IOU’s, contracts, stuff like that. Makes you think OK, we’ll carefully go through, reconstruct it, and go forward from there. Just wishful thinking, like when the towers fell on 9/11. We sifted through the debris pile for personal effects, remains,...

Hollywood Hubris

It amazes me how A-list actors/actresses/athletes seem willing to put their careers on the line by advertising and promoting their politics. I guess when you’re worth $50M you don’t care what people think, not even fans . . .

Circle the wagons

Every staunch conservative knows there’s no escapin’ this plight. No retreat. We got to stand & fight best we can, whatever odds may be. We took a good licking November back, no doubt. Those liberal boys handed us our hats and escorted us to the door. Question is, are we leaving, stayin’, what? I can’t speak for others, but I was invited to this shindig straight and proper. I’m a lifelong member, paid my dues,...

Demand Con*firmative Action!

I’d like someone to explain to me why my tax dollars are being spent on schools and universities that have an excessive liberal bias? This has become a deliberate modus operandi of school administrators who’s personal biases seem to dictate their hiring practices. We’ve known for years educators and teachers tend to be liberal. It’s a typical teacher’s political stance, and we’ve tolerated it. But the...

Conservatives get down!

We’re down on national debt. Down on the size of government. Down on entitlements, and down on spending. We’re down, down, down. We’re also down with balancing the budget, transparency, full disclosure on Benghazi, and a complete investigation of the Fast & Furious and White House leaks scandals. We’re totally down with better cooperation from the Justice Dept, and better relations with our loyal opposition. If...
