I've been at this blogging game for several years, now; in fact, I was introduced to the blogosphere right here, on good ole JU. Thanks, Drag! &nbs...
Random Thoughts: After Obama’s first speech before Congress, even conservative and Republican pundits and leaders couldn’t wait to jump on the “History-in-the Making” Obama Praisewagon. Will this endless worship never end? It’s gotten old. The liberals are even worse, of course. Although, after eight years of despising and denigrating the President with barely-contained hysterics and outrage in the name of “objective journalism”, I suppose one could ...
It becomes ever clearer where the priorities of the Obama Administration lie; not satisfied with merely cutting the defense budget---in wartime, mind you---by $55 billion, the Justice Dept. recently, and very quietly, moved agents from counter-terrorism to anti-fraud. That's right; instead of watching for terrorists who want to kill you and destroy our nation, they'll instead be looking for people (especially rich people, bet on it)who are stealing money. &nbs...
It's pitiful, really, how shameless some will be, when it comes to the war of ideas. Truth and clarity are often secondary considerations, when it comes to obtaining funds and winning hearts and minds. For example: To be considered “hungry” in America, you must miss at least….one meal a month. That’s right, that’s the standard; one meal in 30 days, to be considered “hungry” by the Dept. of Health and Human Resources. By that criterion,...
You know, the Nazis actually passed an "anti-kitsch law", prohibiting stuff like this......(click link) Wonder if the Obama Regime will do the same? (By the way, you do realize what the first item displayed is, right?)
Posted by Chuck58, on the Gathering of Eagles forum, the Eagles Nest: Thanks to Colonel Harry Riley, for the find. London Daily Mail editorial 1/6/2009 Obama's Victory--A British view A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the US mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but woul...
Since the 1970s, an endless parade of government officials and candidates has campaigned on how we must act now, to get free of Middle East oil. Yet, here we are, forty years later, still tied to the oil fields of Saudi Arabia and others, and every time some angry Muslim (is there any other kind?) throws a rock, our gas prices jump. Why? We only get approximately 14% of our oil from the Mideast, anyway; the rest comes from domestic drilling, Canada and Mexico. Yet, it seems to be Arab oil...
When will enough be enough? When will someone in authority finally stand up and say “no more”? President Obama once again ignores constitutional strictures with his recent “recess appointments”, while the Senate was still in session. Bottom line, he simply said, “you’re in”, without bothering with the process of legal Senate confirmation. Where is the outrage in the House and Senate? That’s the Legislative Branch’s job. Of course,...
I don't really know what the nuclear disaster in Japan has to do with bringing us closer to global thermonuclear war, and I didn't see any specific mention of Iran. But gee...they must be happy to be using it again; that mean ol' Ronald Reagan kicked the whole thing out of vogue for a while, there, didn't he?
I was recently in a friendly--for the most part--discussion about gay marriage. Now, I really have no valid opinion on the subject, but I will say that I don't think galaxies are going to explode, if gays and lesbians are given the right to say "I do". After all, in the words of the great country music legend/drag queen icon Dolly Parton, "They should have to suffer, right along with the rest of us." And besides, I really don't think it's my place to ju...
The Democrats are whining, seemingly put out because angry people are contacting them, saying angry things about their corrupt, unconstitutional, power-grabbing healthcare takeover. Boo-hoo; they arrogantly dismissed the will of nearly 70% of the population, as measured by their own polls. Did they honestly expect there would be no unpleasant blowback from this? Now, disappointed at the subdued, relative unobtrusiveness of the Tea Partiers' protest that Sunday, they’re blatantly sme...
Below is a letter I wrote to the editor of my local paper, which ran yesterday. Mine is a very liberalism-dominated area, being a slowly dying steel town, decimated by rampant unionism and Democrat policies. I write a lot of LTEs, and must be having some kind of an effect, because I come under a lot of fire from liberal writers, who often get nasty with me. Kinda proud of that fact, though. There are often letters written in like this one, naming--often attacking--me specifica...
As I write this, there's about 8 inches of snow on the ground, today's high was 25 degrees, and a big snowstorm is expected this weekend, beginning tomorrow night. I'm just sayin'. There are five “O’s” in liberalism: (Willfully) Oblivious, (Deliberately) Obtuse, (Hysterical) Overreaction, (Ignoring the) Obvious, and (Unreasoning) Outrage. One of the greatest examples of this is the recent revelation of the hacking of e-mails, between US and British sc...
61% of Americans do not want the health care bill; Washington knows this, yet insists on ignoring its constituents. Are they insane? Maybe. Are they delusional? Perhaps. So, on a Sunday night-Monday morning, literally in the dead of night when few were watching, the Senate passed the health care bill. It's likely they, the Democrats, are committing political suicide over this, but they seem perfectly willing to do so; to implement a policy relatively few of their constituents ac...
What's the definition of irony? Let me help: 1.) At Fort Hood, a US Army Major - of Islamic heritage - killed 13 people, wounding dozens more, shouting "God is Great!" in Arabic, as he fired. He attended a mosque associated with radical Muslims; he'd expressed great admiration for Muslim suicide bombers. He even tried contacting al-Qaeda. Apparently, his activities were flagged for months by authorities, but it seems no one wanted to risk being accused of bigotry. ...
