Reconsider Ron Paul
If you have been paying attention at all to the unfolding political race for 2012 then you know that it has been a rollercoaster ride to say the least. The candidate that is deemed the frontrunner enjoys high poll numbers for a week ot two only to shoot themselves in the… Read full post »
Below The Radar
I thought I'd take this opportunity to give you all a quick update on the election from my point of view. As you may or may not know I fully support Congressman Ron Paul and will do so throughout the 2012 election cycle. If you watch the main stream media you've… Read full post »
America Needs a Doctor
No...I'm not dead. I know that some of you will will rejoice over that news and others will lament. Sorry. I have not forgotten you either...any of you. I've been busy with life. It seems to be taking more of my time these days. I have also been keenly observing the… Read full post »
The Time Has Come For Ron Paul!!!!
If you are NOT listening to Ron Paul then you need to start. This is the ONLY man in Congress that is sounding the alarm. The establishment is going to do everything they can to muzzle Dr Paul and they will continue to paint him as a "fringe" candidate. However,… Read full post »
A Confused Jury
By now most people on the planet know that Casey Anthony has been found not guilty of 1st degree murder for the death of her 2 year old daughter Caylee Anthony. This trial has been in the media front and center for roughly 2 months so it's hard not to know… Read full post »
My Libertarian Awakening
For those of you who follow my blog you may have been wondering where I have been for the last few weeks/month. I assure you that I am ok. In fact, I am better than ok. I am AWAKE!!
For the first time in a very long time I have… Read full post »
It's NOT The End ....Yet.
Just by reading that headline I imagine many of you will think I am going to be talking about the Rapture that wasn't. Well you would be wrong. This is not going to be about the impending end of the world...just America.
We are in BIG trouble folks and I… Read full post »
Obama, The Anti-Semite
Why does our President hate the Nation of Israel? Why does our President hate the Jewish People? Why would a sitting US President align himself with an ideology that led to the brutal extermination of 6 million Jews just half a century or so ago?
What Obama said in his little… Read full post »
The Twisted Tale of Halabja and WMD
This is in response to some comments on my most recent post "WikiLeaks CONFIRMS WMD in Iraq." There were some questions raised about the attack in Halabja and whether it actually took place. I am going to post a link to an excellent article rather than dissect it.
Let me… Read full post »
WikiLeaks CONFIRMS WMD in Iraq
Let me just say that this does NOT come as a surprise to me. After all, when serving as a Marine in Desert Storm my unit encountered the s0-called non-existent WMD program that Saddam Hussein DIDN'T have.
We knew he had them then, knew that he had used them in… Read full post »
Four More Years? (An Open Thread)
This is going to be an open thread and unlike anything I've done before because I am very interested to see where we are at this point. There is no main post. I am only going to posit this question and then look to the comments to see what the responses… Read full post »
Obama Is Clueless
Well it happened. Obama came out and offered HIS plan to stave off a growing and soon-to-be insurmountable debt crisis. He of course waited until the GOP had offered their plan so that he would be able to at least have some idea of what to talk about. A mark of… Read full post »
Big Trouble Coming
Well now that the "political theater" is over and the government did NOT shut down (as if that makes a difference) we can sit back and analyze the big picture. I have and it's not good.
Besides the ridiculous rhetoric that was thrown around during the "budget battle" we also had… Read full post »
Why Libya?
As I write this there is a coalition of military forces that are striking military targets inside Libya. Fighter jets are bombing air defense locations and have now begun to bomb military targets such as tanks and troops on the ground as well. It appears that we are at war with… Read full post »
Obama Doesn't Like His Job
With all of the turmoil going on in the world these days how can you blame the man? I mean who needs this kind of mess? I'm quite sure he never expected to get caught up in as much "stuff" as he is right now.
I've watched Obama more closely in… Read full post »
For Japan, Our Prayers
There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a… Read full post »
The Wisconsin Omen
If what we are seeing in Wisconsin this week is any indication of what we can expect on a national level when lawmakers have to make tough cuts to save our economy then we are in serious trouble.
The media and now even Obama himself is trying to frame this is… Read full post »
A NEW Islamic Empire Rising
With the fall of the government in Egypt many are wondering what is coming next. What will this mean for the Middle East and the future state of realtions with this part of the world?
While the work of the recreation of government is underway by the military in Egypt,… Read full post »
The Dominoes Are Falling (Updated)
I predicted this would happen not long ago. (See blog post-The Coming Youth Revolt-August 2010)I said among other factors, the long-term unemployment and rising prices would cause a global revolution of the youth who see a very bleak future for themselves.
We are now seeing this play out on the world… Read full post »
Obama In Wonderland
After watching the SOTU speech last night it has become obvious to me that Obama is in way over his head and he is quickly drowning. I listened to him intently to see if he "got it" and was amazed to see that not only does he NOT get it but… Read full post »
Obama 1.0 Failed. Get Ready for Obama 2.0
It is all the talk in the media now that Obama's approval numbers are on the rise and he is making a comeback. Even Joan Walsh of OS wrote about it earlier in the week.
The turning point the experts say: the Tucson speech. The non-political, politcal speech and event that… Read full post »
The Tucson Smoking Gun?
As I recently posted, the speech given the other night in Tuscon by Obama had a very strange "pep rally" feel to it. I also said that the title of the speech and the slogan "Together WE Thrive" almost sounded like a campaign slogan for which many of you lambasted me… Read full post »
Obama, Tucson and 2012

Phto courtesy of the AP.
You have to hand it to the man. He is doing what he does best: campaigning. For those of you who watched the speech last night and are all glowing with praise for what you heard I can only say: you got duped.… Read full post »
The Hypocritical Left And Arizona
You knew it would happen. I didn't even watch the coverage until much later in the day after the Tucson shooting but I knew how the media would paint this one: it's the fault of the Right Wing!!
Honestly, when I did start to watch some of the clips that were… Read full post »
DADT's Repeal Has Possible Dangerous Consequences
I know that the media and The Pentagon claimed that their surveys showed that our men and women in uniform would not be all that resistant to a repeal of DADT but the truth however is very different.
You see, they were correct in saying that troops would be ok with… Read full post »
