A Nation Divided

We are a country divided, and nowhere is the division better seen than among the comments sections beneath political articles. These opinions, conservative and progressive, reveal America and are sociologically fascinating. The following from Yahoo News: Beaming Obama Signs Historic $938 Billion Overhaul, delineates opposing mindsets:

If You Can Keep It

I love my father, a man who throughout my childhood espoused conservative doctrine—low taxes, job creation, a strong military—a man who voted for Goldwater, for Nixon (twice), and who, when Ronald Reagan ascended, settled into permanent arm-chair glee. My father instilled values. He confessed love of country. But my father is not a patriot.

Obama, the U.N., and the Right to Bear Arms

As anyone who hasn’t been sailing solo around the world or living in a cave knows, the United States Constitution is under attack. The Democrat-controlled health care bill, which, if passed, will designate 16% of the economy to the government, and the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade legislation, which, if passed, will mean “global warming” will have hijacked our future, provide ample evidence.

Swindled

So, Barack Obama, in selling his health care scam, promises that he won’t sign a bill that will add to the deficit (“not a single dime, now or in the future”) and, furthermore, says that to perform this stunt, he’ll cut billions of dollars in waste from “the system.” Medicare is his target and, according to Obama, $500 billion in extractable inefficiencies (overlooked till now) are waiting on a platter. Sounds great. It isn’t....

Obama and Health Care: a Pinocchio Tale

Boy, it’s thick out there. My ears are still ringing from the joint session of Congress and Joe Wilson’s, “You lie!” Grand theatre it was, especially when Pelosi, the Wicked Witch of Utopia, pulled an ostrich impression and almost moved her face. By my tally, the president, establishing himself as an inveterate liar, verbalized mendacity on 30 occasions. I’m conservative, however; while ranting, I likely missed several whoppers.

Van Jones: Symptom of a Larger Disease

How predictable. Van Jones, President Obama’s “green jobs” advisor, has stepped down after what he calls “a vicious smear campaign against him.” His past affiliation with Communism, advocacy on behalf of a cop-killer in Oakland, and dignified address in which he called Republicans “assholes,” are irrelevant—he’s been smeared.

The Lockerbie Bomber Release: Accommodation of Jihad

I remember the day. I was in my apartment, studying for finals, on a cold December morning, when I heard the news about Pan-Am flight 103 over Scotland. I remember, in particular, the name Syracuse and how 35 students--kids like me with parents like mine--on their way home for Christmas, were senselessly killed. That "jihad" was responsible, and that a man by the name of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi would be convicted of terror, wasn't known.

Barack Obama Makes Me Sick

Barack Obama makes me sick. Indeed, that’s the best way to begin this article. In an era of thought police and correctness, it’s likely going to offend the group-think crowd, the socialist S.E.I.U. and Jane Fonda, but, being conservative, I don’t give a damn. Barack Obama makes me sick.

WoodStock: Festival of Failure Celebrates Forty

On this, the 40th anniversary of that glorified gathering, thoughts come to mind, none centered around the U.S. Constitution which, last time I checked, mentions something about “rights.” To listen to the media, you’d think Woodstock, a gathering of dead-beats, anti-war radicals, dope-addicts and drifters, was the modern equivalent of the Philadelphia Convention, a free forum throng denouncing British rule.

A Thrill Is Not Running Down My Leg

It's come to my attention that "bad things happen to good people," but in the case of Barack Obama, who knew that the 59 million people who managed to buck the influence of ACORN and withhold their allegiance would have it so bad. I tried during the campaign to dissent, to assert to whomever would listen that just because McCain, with his caved-in skull, rejected "the politics of personal destruction," didn't mean that Obama lacked socialist flair. But time after time, I was told "it's not true."
