My Appeal to All American Citizens, Liberal and Conservative
America, especially Liberals, put your thinking caps on and listen up. What I am about to spell out is yours and my doom if action isn’t taken to protect us all, TODAY. We on the right argued a few years back against what has become known as “Obamacare”. We argued that it was a pathway [...]
Liz Browning and the Bloviators
If I could reach back in time to consult with Elizabeth Barrett Browning for proper wording of this column, I have no doubt she would say about Congress and the President, “How are you disingenuous? Let me count the ways!” My inclination is to use somewhat stronger language to describe the prevaricating, inept, and/or [...]
Into the Fray with Zingers
Debate preparation for the next Obama-Romney match continues with both sides trying to come up with one-liners, zingers, and take-downs. Both sides may be looking to past debates for a game-changing line. Lloyd Bentsen’s famous retort to Dan Quayle, “You’re no Jack Kennedy” might be awesome if “Ronald Reagan” were to be substituted for [...]
“Iron Lady” Maggie Thatcher Takes Down Socialist
Those of us who are a bit older remember Margaret Thatcher but likely didn’t pay that much attention to her at the time. I remember mostly that she and Ronald Reagan got along really well. After watching this video I can see why. Too bad we didn’t have YouTube in the 80′s. This woman [...]
Tippecanoe and Tyler Too and Tecumseh’s Curse
This week I’m spending some time lounging on the beach with a cold drink and my lovely wife, Michele. The relaxing ambiance is simply not conducive to thinking about crooked politicians or social ills, so as a respite from current events in our nation’s capitol, I will regale you with a story about one [...]
Let’s Have the President for Dinner
Political news, like many other things, seems to run in cycles that are more related to the solunar tables or the phases of Venus than to anything pertinent to our lives. There are days when there is no meaningful news at all on which to voice an opinion. On the other hand, there are times [...]
The Path of a Dictator
It’s troubling. It appears that only Barack Hussein Obama knows anything. Therefore, he gets to be the only one to run the country single-handed. Apparently, the recognized checks and balances of government are irrelevant to him. As he asserts that the Constitution is restrictive because it only addresses what the government cannot do, [...]
Rosetta Stone for Political Speak
How can you tell a politician is lying? His lips are moving. That old joke has been around possibly since the first troglodytes gathered around a fire to plot how best to hunt down dinner. It has survived largely because it is true. Whether it is an outright lie or what we [...]
Blame Bush – Really?
Many have predicted that history would be kinder to President G. W. Bush than present public opinion would suggest. I would like to think that’s true. However, since most history is being rewritten today by those with a not-so-hidden agenda, I would rather rely on my own recall on what happened. Some day, virtuous [...]
1974 – Where Were the Occupy Wall Streeter’s When I Needed Them?
My first job out of college was to work for my Dad. My Dad owned a business forms brokerage. I’m not even sure what AB Forms stood for but I do know from my Dad being first in the Yellow Pages was a good thing. Dad was the only full-time employee. Business was good. My [...]
