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 inRead full post »

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?

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

obama_doctors 

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.

VIENNA (AP) - September 17, 2009 Experts at the world's top atomic watchdog are in agreement that Tehran has the ability toRead full post »

Turns Out, Joe Wilson Was Right.

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 »

Loved or Hated?

I almost feel sorry for him at times because I can see the pain that he feels when he gets rejected.

Coming from a broken home has had a lasting effect on Mr Obama as I'm sure it would on any child. This "need to be needed" is apparent now… Read full post »

The Massachusetts Police State is Coming

If you live in Massachusett's you no doubt by now are used to having your elected representatives steal your freedom from you.

However, a bill that is currently making it's way through you state legislature will take this to new heights.

The Indoctrination of Our Youth

My teenage daughter has begun her first year in high school and we are all embarking on an "adventure" together.

The fact that she is only a handful of years from leaving the nest is both exciting (to her) and terrifying (for my wife and I).

I know that she'll have… Read full post »

Obama Wants MORE Power

It's no longer something that surprises me. Obama, like most liberals LOVES power. They crave it.

However, the unprecedented power that this President and Administration has begun to consolidate under one roof is now getting a bit alarming.

The Obama Administration has now decided that the oversight… Read full post »

The Left Gets Desperate

Apparently, the leftist goons who are SOOOOOOO worried about the crazy right-wing extremists attacking people over the healthcare debate might finally have some evidence to point to.

There is only one, slight problem: the attack was perpetrated by one of their own.

Ted Kennedy. RIP?

The so-called "lion of the Senate" just met the Lion of Judah and he has some 'splainin' to do. Lest we forget:

I'll not dance on his grave as some have done to others who have passed recently (Saturn) but I won't mourn for the man either. I just hope… Read full post »

The War Against The CIA Continues

In yet ANOTHER reversal of policy by the Obama Administration, Attorney General Holder has announced he will appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the CIA interrogators who used tough interrogation techniques to see which of them will be prosecuted. 

In a word: STUPID.

At a time when… Read full post »

It has been obvious for some time now that the American people are NOT particularly thrilled with the way the Dem's are running Congress these days.

However, they didn't think that they would do anything desperate and take them out of power. "We'll fight through this" they said. Indeed.

It would… Read full post »

MSNBC Stokes Racial Fires

In what can only be described as the purposeful incitement of racial violence, MSNBC totally LIES about a recent situation of a protestor who was armed who showed up at a location where the President was speaking.

This is the "edited" video from MSNBC:

The Congressional Catch 22

I almost feel sorry for them to be honest...almost.

The Democratic Congress is in a very precarious position and all of their options are bad.

If they DON'T pass this healthcare bill Obama is finished and so are they. Their base will leave them faster than Michael Phelps could swim.… Read full post »

Dem's Employ "Thug" Tactics

When I saw the reaction at the town halls around the country to the proposed government run healthcare plan, I knew it was going to get ugly.

I knew that if the Democrats were rebuffed they would fight. I just did't think they would stoop to this level. Apparently I had… Read full post »

Smoke And Mirrors

We've all seen the videos on YouTube of the "angry mob" voicing their concerns over the so-called healthcare reform bill.

So I had to wonder why when the big man himself went out there and had some town hall meetings of his own we didn't see anything of the sort. Now… Read full post »

Obama Becoming A Liability Now

I was wondering how long it would take for this to happen but I knew it wouldn't be long.

The mistakes, misstatements, gaffe's and plain mistruth's that are starting to come out of the Obama Administration are starting to embarrass the Democrats.

More importantly however, they are doing severe damag… Read full post »
