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 [...]

Per Barbara Boxer: “I’m going to put in the record … a host of quotes from our national security experts who tell us that carbon pollution leading to climate change will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm’s way,” Boxer said. “And that’s why we have [...]

Chris Dodd is mad. He’s quite upset too: “The idea that state by state would start developing its own immigration laws in the country — imagine what a patchwork that might look like,” He didn’t stop there. He tossed in the only answer the Democrats seem to have any more: “It’s demanding a national answer [...]

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 [...]

President Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize. Although some are scratching their heads over why, I’m not. It’s quite obvious and the Nobel peeps even said why: “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” Some were somewhat dubious of his accomplishments: “Frankly to be nominated after he has been in [...]

In my world, the ultimate definition of a pacifist is to enter a war and not be terribly concerned with winning. You do this by not acknowledging it’s actually a war, then equivocating what the ultimate outcome must be. In Korea and Vietnam, the United Nations, with an assist from the United States, would not [...]

Scott Ott has been one of my favorite authors for quite some time. Here is yet another reason why: …..Sen. Obama, a man who aspires to be our commander in chief, tells us that a nation called Afghanistan is where this threat dwells. Yet, he says, it does not dwell in Iraq. He tells us [...]

The new, kinder, gentler, Nancy Pelosi led Congress. When the new Democrat controlled Congress took over in January, they got a reprieve, with about a 15% jump in approval ratings just for being there. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid of the Senate came in with guns firing. They passed all kinds of major legislation including [...]

In 2004, President Bush’s ratings were totally in the basement. John Kerry was trashing Bush in the polls, and the media was laughing at Bush’s ineptitude. John Kerry then went to war with some former Vietnam vets that he absolutely would not get over. He hounded and hounded and hounded that one issue and basically [...]
