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 [...]

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 [...]

Gobsmackingly Disgusted

I’m suffering from utter and complete mental nonplussedness.   
The amazing double standards by today’s commentators and media outlets with respect to former Pres. Bush, and current Pres. Obama is nothing short of amazing.    Obama is providing a steady stream of mock-worthy statements, actions, and inactions, lies, broken promises and political gaffes, the likes of which, had [...]

On ‘60 Minutes,’ Obama rebukes Cheney criticism
To me, this title is misleading.  It suggests at first glance that Obama was actually sticking up for Cheney, defending him from his critics.  He’s rebuking the criticisms OF Cheney.
However, read the story, and you find that what he’s really doing is rebuking Cheney’s criticism.  Don’t they send journalists to [...]

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 [...]

Teflobama

So, in review.  Obama has broken nearly every campaing promise he made, save for the one about “spreading the wealth around” and “taking the rich until they’re the poor.”
He’s nominated a string of crooks and tax cheats, so many of which have had to resign or recuse themselves that he doesn’t, as yet, have a [...]

Bush to Blame?

Just a quick thought rolling around in my head as I read article after article that continues to lay the blame on Pres. Bush for all manner of ills and economic woes.
I wonder how long things will continue to be Bush’s fault, even though Obama is in office?  Will anything ever be blamed (at least by the [...]

A new outlook, a new approach.

I’m going to be making some changes around here.  Not so much in the tangible, as in the metaphysical, asitwere.
I honestly don’t know how many people read this blog over a given day or week.  I can see the stats hover around 50 “views” a day, if I post fairly consistently, but again, how many of [...]

O-Ba-Ma! O-Ba-Ma! {{swoon}}

Now folks, this is just nothing more than downright scary. (blatantly stolen from Gateway Pundit)

A great leader?  I have to ask this straight up and honest question:  BASED ON WHAT?
On the off chance that there are any Obamaniacs who stumble across this post, I pose this as a serious question.  On exactly what tangible evidence can [...]

In which I make certain pithy and delightfully droll observations…

…somewhat akin to a certain Jeff G., which, because of the NUANCE!
I continue to find it amazingly amazing that the political party of which continually bills itself as the party of The People! (which, if you were wondering, is the Democrats) has taken such a ready and almost, dare I say, “pitbull”-like (minus the lipstick, [...]
