Now Fred Thompson has stated he wants President Obama’s policies to fail. Brother, where to begin?
Democrats did not want Bush to fail, not in the war(s), not in the economy, and certainly not by trashing the Constitution, but he did.
Now Republicans want Obama to fail. This is not complicated. If Obama fails, America suffers.
Remember, [...]
I heard a recent complaint about how Obama has nothing a true president would need, a true leader would need. In fact, according to her, he had many very unleaderlike (that’s a word now) qualities. She also finished her comment with several less-than-friendly terms for the president, which I have decidedly chosen to omit.
First, she [...]
I saw a personalized license plate the other day that said something to the effect of “MY ST8 TAXS 2 MUCH.”
This was not a bumper sticker, it was a personalized plate. This person paid an extra tax to complain about taxes. THAT is passion, with a touch of stupidity.
Surely some people in every state feel [...]
The Dalai Lama has been refused a visa for a peace conference in South Africa. South Africa says it doesn’t want to shift attention from the 2010 World Cup (to be held more than a year after this visit). South Africa also said that they have, in recent years, had a good trade relationship [...]
In 1870, the 15th Amendment was passed enfranchising black men, but not women, with the right to vote. American women were not granted the right until 1920.
It is amusing to see how many countries granted women this right before the United States. Poland, Russia, Germany, Canada, Finland, Austria, Ireland, Finland and Australia all allowed [...]
I will confess here that I am ‘oldish’ (but not yet old). I have a large collection of record albums that I never got rid of. I just couldn’t let go of these old “friends,” in spite of the fact that I hadn’t played any of them in decades.
I have somehow come into possession [...]
Monty Python once did a skit titled “The Argument Clinic.” In it a man approaches the counter of a business to request an argument. He is told that a specific argument counselor is in today, “but is feeling a bit conciliatory.”
Well that is the way we feel today.
By the time this blog began in [...]
Wait, what?
Yes, a conservative is right about something. I am talking about Ben Stein. He occasionally gets pretty nutty about what he thinks, but he hit this topic right on the nose.
He said that the biggest problem with the market today is the fear fueling its downfall. When Barack Obama was elected, he himself said [...]
The Republican Party likes to think of itself as the staunch defenders of all that is right with America. They are standing strong as defenders of liberty and morality, and all that is just.
There is only one thing wrong with this. They do not stand strong. They have no spine.
Three Republican leaders, in the last [...]
