Moonage Political Webdream

Forbes Magazine just ran a rather awesome, if not damning, article.  I loved it.  It listed the states where there are more “takers” vs “makers”.  And, it very quickly condemned those states, as well as advising anyone investing to steer clear of those states. One of them, being my own.  They chide those states for [...]

Immediately after the Kentucky US Senate primary, Rand Paul made what a lot of people consider a gaffe that got all kinds of media exposure: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy The entire country went bonkers over the fact that Rand Paul would dare do the unthinkable and dick [...]

The Republicans are pushing a measure to end TARP and return unspent funds to lower, make that, not increase, the national debt. I am betting Nancy Pelosi will not allow this subversive effort to limit her ability to spend huge amounts of money to occur.  Any takers?

Sometime in 2007 or so, some people decided the US was too polarized.  I’m not terribly sure that’s a bad thing.  But, it became a political issue that the Democrats used to some success I suppose.  Obama was going to fix that polarization problem.  It was change you could believe in. His people didn’t listen.  [...]

  I try to come up with witty post titles to show how clever I am.  However, in Eric Holder’s case this week, he’s got me.  There are so many choices to pick from I get a brain freeze simply trying to pick one, or two, or three. Now, I’m not stupid, and most people [...]

I’ve stolen that title from Classically Liberal.  It’s not really the point I’m shooting for, but it’s close enough and the article is a riot.  A lot of people have been claiming Obama’s socialist.  I have for that matter.  However, people supporting Obama have dismissed those claims as rhetoric.  However, Obama’s White House PR person [...]

First, the obvious: Per Eric Holder, the new hate crimes bill was not intended to protect everyone equally under the law. I got a problem with that.  The ONLY intent of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights is to insure everyone is protected equally by the law.  For the US Attorney General to [...]

No sooner than I post my rant on Obama surrounding himself with communists, Paul Krugman once again proves my point.  For those who don’t know, Paul Krugman is an avowed liberal.  Damn proud of it too.  No sooner than I read the news about Van Jones being a communist, Paul had this to offer: The [...]

A fellow had this to say, among other things: ….we had already seen two tax cuts sold on massively, easily documented false pretenses; a war launched with constant innuendo about a Saddam-Osama link that was clearly false, and with claims about WMDs that were clearly shaky from the beginning and had proved to be entirely [...]

Someone’s running a poll on Facebook.  It’s about how people voted and how they would voted again.  It’s fairly interesting so far: If the 2008 Presidential Election were held today, would you vote the same way? I voted for Obama and I stand by that vote.   45,676 (35.2%) Take the next poll »or+ Create [...]
