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 [...]

“A Republic, if you can keep it.”

Well, I sorta “missed” the Fourth of July this year.  It just doesn’t have the same verve when you are living in a foreign country.  Folks here in Germany do New Years better than the Chinese by far, but the Fourth of July just doesn’t seem to be on their radar for some reason.  So, [...]

When the government fears the people…

You know, as I’ve watched and read and listened to all the various outrage, pontification, justification and sometimes even downplaying of the increasingly fervent protests in Iran, vs. the regime’s increasingly violent tactics in suppressing them, I bemusedly have begun to wonder.  Sort of a compare and contrast kind of thing.
I look at the protestors [...]

The Domino Theory and Iran

In betwixt and between all the impassioned outcrys both from within and without Iran regarding their most recent “election,” I find that all the intensity and furor suddenly begs the question:
Why all of a sudden do we see such a fervor from the voting public in Iran?
More importantly, why are we HEARING about it, from [...]

Hate Crimes and That Cold Chill They Bring.

Listening to the radio on the way to work this morning, I heard something that chilled me to my very core.  I literally got a chill down my spine.  I quite literally spoke out loud, “Oh, shit.”
It was a “top of the hour” news blurb about how the push for Hate Crimes legislation is gaining [...]

Through inaction you give consent.

I am deeply disturbed and even embarrassed by Pres. Obama’s complete lack of any meaningful response to what is going on over in Iran right now.
As Americans, it has traditionally been our role to support the underdog.  Due to our own revolutionary history of throwing off the yoke of tyranny and demanding to govern ourselves [...]

Generalized Observations on the Insanity of Humanity

Whoa, I got a somebody-a-lanche on my Media coverage post.  Don’t know who linked me, but thanks!
Other Opinings:
~  I’ve never understood people who can’t bring themselves to believe in God, but will readily profess that they think The Universe has a plan for them, or that the Universe is trying to tell them something.  I’m [...]

DHS Report on Right-Wing Extremists Makes Stars & Stripes

There’s a front-page report on the DHS report highlighting the dangers of “right-wing extremists” in today’s Stars & Stripes,  yet strangely I can find nothing about it on their web site.  I wonder if that was an editorial decision to bury the story?  You can’t unprint newspapers, but you can easily delete a link.
There was some [...]

Color me an Idahoan!

I think I lived in Coeur d’Alene long enough to legitimately claim status as an “Idahoan.”  My oldest son spent the first four years of his life there, and I worked and payed taxes and lived there.  Went to the Fourth of July Parade every year for almost eight years running, even after I moved [...]

What Rush Said, What Rush Meant

In case you haven’t heard, Rush Limbaugh made a comment during one of his radio shows that he wanted Obama to fail.   What he really said was that he wanted Obama’s policies to fail, but this was immediately snatched up by commentators on both the Left and Right as a catalyst for some truly intense condemnations [...]
