Global Warming That Isn't
Well there is no doubt about one thing: Al Gore is going to be REALLY upset.
Will he have to give back his Nobel Prize? They seem to be giving those out rather hastily these days anyway. Maybe he should.
But what he is really going to flip over is the… Read full post »
Why The KSM Trial Is A Bad Idea
I'm not the biggest fan of Sen. Lindsey Graham but I was glad to see him press AG Holder on this. This was an interesting exchange.
OOPS..
In light of the decision by Obama to let Holder try KSM and other terrorists in a CIVILIAN court this seems kind of "inconvenient".
Obama Bows Again (UPDATED)
This is beyond embarrassing now. It's just pathetic. Why doesn't he just genuflect from now on? You have to admit though...that is a textbook bow if I've ever seen one. I wonder if they were also given some DVD's. Maybe Pearl Harbor?
For those of you who may have forgotten...… Read full post »
Another Bad Decision By Obama
Another day, another bad decision by the Obama Administration.
In his infinite wisdom our hapless President has decided that it's a really good idea to bring some terrorists to New York and to put them on trial.
These aren't just ANY terrorists mind you. Among them is the infamous KSM, the… Read full post »
Political Correctness And The Ft Hood Shooting
I actually heard someone say that the shooter at Ft Hood, Major Hasan, was most likely suffering from PTSD. PRE Traumatic Stress Disorder.
That's right, not POST, PRE. Apparently this is how the media gets around the fact that this fool was never deployed so technically he could NOT be suffering… Read full post »
Obama A No-Show In Berlin
It wasn't a big deal so I suppose there really isn't any reason to be upset about it.
I mean it's only the 20th Anniversay of the most earth shaking event in world history in the last two decades but it's not a big deal.
Interestingly enough the news coverage from… Read full post »
The Dems Seal Their Fate
In the dark of the night last night Nancy Pelosi made good on her promise to pass the House Health Reform Bill.
Apparently, she had finally paid off enough people to get the votes she needed.
I'm not surprised in the least that it passed, I expected it to.
However,… Read full post »
BREAKING NEWS: Republicans Deal Blow To Dems...and Obama!!
Regardless of what the Obama Administration has said or will say about these off-year elections the results are bad news and they know it.
Virginia went for Obama in the 2008 election as did NJ and NY.
Suddenly, the times, they are a changin'.
The biggest shock to the Obama… Read full post »
The H1N1 Hoax
Ok, before someone jumps all over me saying that there actually IS an H1N1 virus that is not what I am saying here.
Instead, the purpose of this post is to shed light on the disinformation campaign that is being run by YOUR Government when it comes to the severity of… Read full post »
The War Against Fox News (Updated)
I know it's beena while since I've posted something but life has a way of getting in the way sometimes. Anyway, much to the chagrin of most of you, I'M BAAAAAACK!!
For weeks now I have been watching this "war of words" escalate between the Obama Administration and Fox News.… Read full post »
Putin Being Putin(UPDATED)
If you know anything about Major League Baseball and you have followed the Boston Red Sox for any length of time then my headline sounds very similar to something you are very familiar with.
I must confess that this is by design and I purposely used that phrase to illustrate my… Read full post »
Implications of A Nobel Peace Prize (UPDATED)
As you all know, last week our beloved President Obama was awarde the Nobel Peace Prize.
I'm not going to go into why I think this is undeserved because that horse is dead and it's not getting back up.
However, there is one thing about this situation that I think many have… Read full post »
The Taliban, Our Friends?
So, the long-awaited question of how Mr Obama was going to go about fighting this war is slowly starting to emerge.
Apparently, the Taliban is longer our enemy. That's right.
As reported today by the AP:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is prepared to accept some Taliban involvement in… Read full post »
A New Low In The Healthcare Reform Debate
While watching this performance ask yourself this: What would have happened if Fox News featured a group of WHITE-ONLY kids singing about the need to support something that former President George W. Bush was proposing?
Yeah, that's what I thought. Who is the racist now?
Just ano… Read full post »
Mr President, Sir, We Need A Decision
I don't want to say this about a sitting President but as more time goes by it seems that President Obama and his Administration lack the political courage to deal with the situation in Afghanistan.
Why else would he STILL be waiting to make his decision as to how to proceed?… Read full post »
So THAT Is What a Doctor Looks Like
I am SO glad the White House handed out those white doctor coats to all of their attendees yesterday. After all, without them there was no way for us to know they were actually doctors. LOL!
Notice that they are actually handing them out to people. That's most likely because… Read full post »
Enough Talk, Bomb Iran NOW!!!
The Obama Administration says that it wants to "talk" with Iran about these new developments.
Why bother? I mean really? What's the point? Does anyone out there realize that we have been TALKING to Iran and imposing sanctions of one kind or another since 1979?
That's right. Since 1979, the… Read full post »
The Distracted President
To be the President of the United States you must be many things: statesman, leader, thinker and the list goes on.
However, the MOST important trait that one needs to be President is attentiveness. In other words you need to show that you are actually ENGAGED with the issues of the day.… Read full post »
Dreams From Whose Father?
A while back there was an investigative journalist by the name of Jack Cashill that proposed the possibility that Obama did NOT write his best selling book "Dreams From My Father" after all.
Cashill looked at the writing very carefully and noticed some glaring "inconsistencies" in the tone and struc… Read full post »
Dumb and Dumber or Carter and Brzezinski
Just when you thought it could not get any worse, it does.
It has taken decades for Americans to put the Carter Administration out of their minds. Yet, just when you think the horse is dead, it gets back up.
Wasn't Jimmy Carter a peanut farmer before he became President? Don't… Read full post »
While Obama Fiddles....
So BESIDES fighting a losing battle with the American People (and his own party) on healthcare is there anything else pressing for our President to be doing? You decide.

When Congressman Joe Wilson shouted "You Lie" the other night during the Presidents healthcare reform speech many, including those present in the chambers, were shocked.
They could not believe that a member of Congress could possibly have done something so disrespectful to a sitting President of the… Read full post »
Media Assists Obama...Again.
I know, I know by now this probably does not come as a surprise but I will make a point to call the media out everytime they lend their support to this President by "fudging" the numbers
In this latest case CNN is the culprit:

The Coming Venezuelan Missile Crisis
Poet and philosopher Georges Santayana said "those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it."
It would appear that our refusal to learn from the factors that led to the Cuban Missile Crisis may indeed lead to another.
It is widely believed that the main reason behind the Cuban… Read full post »
