Honoring Ronald Reagan

February 6th, 2013 | No Comments

Source: rightwingthinking.info via Robert on Pinterest   On Ronald Reagan’s birthday, let it be known 40 states choose to recognize his birthday.  It’s not a holiday or anything.  It’s just a note that someone very important to this country was born on this date.  Eight states choose to intentionally ignore his birthday.  It’s kind of [...]

Scott Walker and November

June 6th, 2012 | No Comments

Scott Walker was a Tea Party favorite.  Scott Walker was also a Republican bucking the tidal wave that was the Obama tsunami of union backed and media endorsed candidates.   Although Wisconsin had a long history of electing Republican governors, the retiring governor of eight years was a Democrat.  Walker ran on Tea Party principles and [...]

It’s ALL about sex

May 2nd, 2011 | No Comments

Back in the late ’90s, a rather odd scandal came out of The White House.  Accusations came flying that President Clinton, then a pretty popular President as far as Presidents go, was having an affair with an intern and a cigar.  That in itself was not that big a deal.  Presidents had been accused of [...]

An informed debate on Arizona’s immigrant law?

May 19th, 2010 | 1 Comment

This thing over the Arizona immigrant law is pathetic. Janet Napolitano thinks it’s horrible.  She knows it creates racial profiling.  She hasn’t read it. Eric Holder is quite certain it’s illegal.  That it violates several Constitutional rights.  He hasn’t read it but he plans to file suits on behalf of the federal government. Now, Felipe [...]

Lou Dobbs for President?

November 23rd, 2009 | No Comments

Lou Dobbs is pondering running for president apparently.  He already has a website: http://www.loudobbsforpresident.org.  Well, “someone” has one for him anyways.  And, he’s not denying he’s interested.  So far he seems to be a one issue candidate.  But, since it’s kinda early, and he’s not officially running, that’s hardly a strike.  That one issue is [...]

Representative Hank Johnson sees racial overtones in the Kanye West slurs

September 15th, 2009 | 5 Comments

Not sure if I got this exactly right.  Let me take another stab at it.  Kanye West, who is black, ripped the microphone from the hands of Taylor Swift, who is white, to assert the fact that Beyonce, who is black, should have won.  Beyonce did indeed win the best video of the year.  Kanye [...]

Return of the Stem Cell debate

November 25th, 2008 | 2 Comments

The most screwed up political issue of the Bush administration will be returning I imagine very shortly for the Obama administration.  First, I want to make sure people understand where I’m coming from: The “Bush ban on stem cells” originally was passed in 1999.  Bush wasn’t president, Bill Clinton was.  This was a complete ban [...]

Obama Bushism of the day: Governor of a town?

September 2nd, 2008 | No Comments

“Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin’s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We’ve got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So I think that our ability to manage large [...]

Chuck Hagel to be Obama’s running mate?

August 14th, 2008 | 1 Comment

I’ve seen this a couple of times: Talk of Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel as a potential running mate for Democratic candidate Barack Obama tends to confound partisans in both parties. Sure, they’ve been spotted together a few times, but the bottom line is no.  Obama doesn’t appeal to the rational, middle of the road Democrats [...]
