Malfeasance Redux

Because some things bear repeating, I’m reposting this in light of the current activities regarding the health care legislation, as well as rumblings that B.O. is going to try and sign us up for Kyoto 2.0, which however, I might add, still needs to get ratified by Congress if we are a “signatory.”  Before I [...]

The Conceit of Socialism, The Arrogance of Obama

As unemployment crests 10% and continue to climb, as layoffs continue by companies of all sizes who are tightening belts and trimming budgets, as banks continue to be tight-fisted about credit and loans, you have to kind of wonder who’s at the wheel here? Despite billions of “stimulus” dollars, despite lofty rhetoric and glowing promises [...]

A Little Perspective Is Called For, I Think.

I’ve seen several lists of Obama’s failures that include his “betrayal” of Poland over the whole missile defense thing.  Here’s the deal:  It wasn’t him, and it wasn’t a betrayal.
What happened was that Obama accepted the recommendation of his Secretary of Defense to adopt a different method of strategic missile defense based around Aegis guided [...]

Don’t Be Mean To The Black Man! For shame!

The recent controversy surrounding Sen. Wilson’s “outburst” when he accused the President of lying is another clarion example of how we on the outside are allowing the Prog spin machine to control the political narrative in this country.
Wilson’s “emotional outburst” has now being branded as “heckling” in the media.  Now, I ain’t no rocket scientist [...]

Q: How do you know when Obama is lying?

A: His lips are moving.  (Remember, Obama started out as a lawyer.)
There’s been much ado lately about the posters with the Obamanation dressed out to look like the Joker from Batman.  I think they chose the wrong villian.  It should have been Two-Face.
Today via Patterico, I read about the Obama Adminstration stance which is threatening [...]

It Doesn’t Take A Felony

In response to “The Hidden Costs of ObamaCare,” commentor Kate has asked the most burning question of the day:  If we see so clearly the dangers of the path down which Barack Obama is taking us, what then can we do?  What should we do?
I say, ask instead what  MUST we do?
By way of an answer, [...]

No, really, this time we MEAN it!

Keep in mind that five years ago, Al Gore was already preaching that the North Pole could be gone in five years.  Now, with this year’s perfectly healthy and growing ice cap at the North Pole, his schtick is, “No, I mean, the NEXT five years.”
I believe we call that “shifting the goal-posts,” a tradtion [...]

Definition of Progressivism

Imposing economic policies that force millions of people to lose their jobs and begin relying, perhaps for the first time in their lives, on welfare subsidies, then turn around and brag about how many people your social programs are helping!
See how effective our program is?  We are helping millions now, where before we were only helping [...]

How much is a trillion dollars? – Updated

If you haven’t seen it already, the UK Sun does a great job of breaking down how much actual money is a “trillion” dollars:
72 years to print a trillion dollars
The US Bureau Of Engraving And Printing produces 38million notes a day, so printing one trillion new notes from scratch and working seven days a week [...]

Poetic Justices

Does anyone else find it slap-your-knee hilarious that Obama’s first Supreme Court nominee just got one of her appellate court decisions overturned by….the Supreme Court?
Ah don’t cayuh who you are, that’s funny raht thair.
