return to an earlier era

Descent into darkness   For all of their rhetoric about increased enlightenment, what must liberals think about the Penn State situation.   I couldn’t help but feel, watching it play out, that we have returned to the coliseum - and now stand collectively in the stands with coarse and base motivations.  What of civility, honor, responsibility?  What of community... Read More

hurrican prep…….the speech you never heard

What you saw A bunch of pathetic self-absorbed tools pretending to be disaster management experts just trying to “get out in front of it” so they didn’t have their own “Katrina” moment. It was really nauseating.  The real losers? 1. Us – the public, who thought we had leaders 2.  Chris Christie – maybe it was endearing when he stood up... Read More

a rider and a peddler

We taken looks in the past at some of the stark contrasts between Presidents Bush & Obama. Recently Bush was wrong and earlier The “decider” & the “signer” But here’s another comparison. Look at biker Obama here (who incidentally golfs obsessively while we are at war, compared to President Bush who decided not to golf after 9/11 because circumstances... Read More

Bush was wrong

You may wish to go to the points below for reference to specific points in the video. Compare 3:50 – “Ther’ll be a moment….the responsibilities of the President land squarely on his shoulders.” 13:55 – Without attribution, an acknowledgement that his tenure began and ended on a recession.  “And in the meantime there were 52 months of uninterrupted... Read More

Justifying restricted liberties

In April ’09 the DHS (under Janet “The System Worked” Napolitano) announced that returning veterans were a likely group of potential lone wolf terrorists.  (POTUS – sniper dude) Big Sis’ latest video is getting even more outrageous.  (thanks to InfoWars) Is it incredibly scary that the government draws a tighter noose around our ability to travel... Read More

miscellany

Friday is here.  Time to take account of our actions for the week. What have you done to support the military this week? Make a donation to any of the myriad of worthwhile organizations which assist in so many ways.  If you are a veteran, join the VFW, AMVETS, American Legion, etc. as you are eligible.  For a fun twist, buy a bottle of Joka vodka!  While you enjoy a refreshing... Read More

God’s partner

there isn’t too much to say….. “We are God’s partners in matters of life and death.” So sayeth COWOBAMA He must see his role as something akin to God’s Command Sergeant Major – the final decision on occasional topics is “above his pay grade” but for most folks and most decisions, his is the ultimate authority. The pathological... Read More

formative religion

As is his want, COWOBAMA has revised his personal narrative to satisfy his current circumstance.  About to meet the Pope, he is now a product of Catholic traditions.  He lies shamelessly and opportunistically. “Specifically, I think that social justice derives from individuals having the freedom to pursue their own ideas of happiness and pursue prosperity using their blood,... Read More

three separate and co-equal branches

There was no shortage of warning signs for those who were willing to see them.  Divorced from partisan rhetoric, the red flags were obvious.  Not as often discussed as the promise to speak directly with foreign enemy leaders without conditions but at least as telling was a paucity of remotely relevant experience so profound that “running” a campaign was a (the only)... Read More

Audacity of hope

So have things really gone too far?  Is there no way to ever return to the splendid societal and political structure conceived through the wisdom, guided by faith and prayer, of our Founding Fathers? Many will assert that no, we have no hope.  Things have gone too far.  This sentiment is reiterated, accepted and reinforced – in other words granted established validity –... Read More
