It’s only racism if you’re white. Unless you’re black.

I made this comment in a thread over at Carin’s, and reading it again, I realize that it rather nicely sums up the whole “questioning Obama’s Health Care Plan = Racism” meme.  I include it hear for your reading pleasure (slightly jazzed up and edited):
Regardless of any experiences you may have had living in a [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Remember, only whites can be racist.

The White House was quick to respond to the shooting at the Holocaust Museum yesterday by a deranged kook who has made his mark spouting anti-semitic remarks.  In the words of Pres. Obama:
“This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms.”
One must pause to wonder if [...]

Media Coverage of TEA Party Protests – Compare and Contrast

Well, on CNN, the Tea Party protests got only one link, but amazingly enough, the article was balanced, fair, and by no means a hit piece.  I encourage you to read it.  It lays out the basics of what the protests are about, and even seems to paint them in if not a positive light, [...]

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 [...]

The Obama Administration, in Review

So, lessee here….
Team Obama has to date pursued, and either has achieved or is close to achieving the following:

Directed the hiring or firing of corporate executives.
Set federal mandated limits on executive salaries and compensation for private companies.
Knowing established unachievable carbon emission caps for private corporations, to include energy producers, with the stated goal of milking [...]

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 [...]
