Liberals are rather aghast that some people assert Obama’s policies have driven the price of gas in this country through the roof. Now that gas is nearing $4.00 a gallon, it’s become an issue to be debated seriously. And, it is: who is at fault for these gas prices? Public OpinionPoll Results And: And: Gas [...]

I’d like to start with a question, QuestionsView Results So, what’s the difference between a “war” and a “kinetic military action”? Does the mere fact a president changes the wording allow him to completely ignore the Constitution and go to “kinetic military action”? How big does the lie have to be before Obama supporters finally [...]

QuestionsView Results That’s not my poll, but it’s a dead-on appropriate question. Obama says it’s about the intended genocide Khadafi threatened. Well, that’s been going on unabated in Yemen, Sudan, and several parts of Africa. What’s so special about Libyans that other Africans don’t merit? When Bush citied weapons of mass destruction and known threats [...]

Good question! QuestionsView Results What’s that you say? I left something out? Oh yeah. How many people would have answered differently if they had known it was Sarah Palin? Be honest. So many people are so hung up on the “Sarah Palin is stupid” liberal talking point that they more often than not will react [...]

Get this straight, then we’ll talk about the rest: U.S. Secretary of State meets with Libyan rebels OK, we have openly sided, once again, with one side in a civil war. Granted no one seems to like Kadhafi, choosing a side involves not only showing support for one side, but showing opposition to all those [...]

Although in the throes of civil war, Libya has never been much of a beacon of human rights. Now, having to deal with a threat to his leadership, Gadhafi’s only solution is to kill everyone. Although the estimates are at around 1,000 casualties, I’m going to bet it’s a lot higher. All of this begs [...]

Right as Obama is gearing up for another round of stimulus funding, Germany’s Angela Merkel blindsided him some of the craziest advice Obama’s probably heard since the last Tea Party rally: “It’s urgently necessary for monetary stability that public budgets return to balance,” German Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle said at a press conference Monday, according [...]

Hugo Chavez has cozied up to FARC for a long time. Now, he’s threatening to go to war with Colombia for raiding into Ecuador to take out a FARC leader. In the process, Chavez is, of course, blaming it all on the US because the US has helped Colombia deal with FARC as best we [...]
