The 28th Amendment

C. Miller, a fellow conservative who corresponds with me on a fairly regular basis, sent out an email that is probably the most profound suggestion I have ever read since the day I perused the Jefferson and Adams letters.

Beaten for Wearing a Palin Button (Update)

A cautionary note about the beating in New Orleans; Update: No Palin pins involved I’m getting bombarded with angry e-mails about the terrible assault on Louisiana GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal’s campaign fundraising chief, Allee Bautsch, and her boyfriend in the French Quarter of New Orleans over the weekend. More... This story appeared recently in The Free Republic

“Allee Bautsch, chief campaign fundraiser for Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, and her boyfriend Joe Brown, were savagely beaten Friday night in New Orleans after leaving a Republican Party fundraising dinner by a group of thugs who reportedly targeted the couple because they were wearing Sarah Palin pins.

Should Obama Step Down? Hell, Yes!

On page 31 in the transcribed text of the March 25, 2010 session of the Kenyan Parliament, there is a brief statement by the Kenyan Minister for Lands (Mr. Orengo). What Mr. Orengo says is nothing short of a bombshell, and yet not a mention has been made anywhere in the mainstream media. I think, for obvious reasons.

The Liberal Death Wish

The quote below comes from a paper published through the University of Arizona. The article is a tutorial on the greenhouse effect and it is written in language simple enough for even a liberal to understand…unless that liberal happens to be a Hollywood celebrity or Al Gore.

Liberal Nazis

In his March 27, 2010 column, New York Times columnist Frank Rich compared the alleged tea-party treatment of marching Democrats to the Nazi treatment of the Jews during Germany’s Kristallnacht. Here is the line from Rich’s garbled prose:

Michael Savage is Right

Mallard Filmore had a great one liner today, “Remember, judging an entire group by the bad behavior of a few members is called Stereotyping…except when we do it to Teapartiers, then it’s called Reporting.”

Pardon Me for Living

This past Saturday, March 27, 2010,somewhere between 10,000 to 20,000 Tea Party conservatives descended upon Harry Reid’s hometown of Searchlight, Nevada. Depending upon what side of the political spectrum you read the event was either a gathering of gap-toothed, pistol-packing Neanderthals or fervent patriots waiting for the chance to serve their country to the bitter end. The reality is somewhere else entirely.

Heil Obama

The knock came on the door long after we’d put the children to bed. I’d been expecting it. To me, caring for my family was far more important than obeying arbitrary purchasing laws. Nodding to my wife in a prearranged signal, I walked over to the door as she hurried to the back of the house. The bags had been packed since that terrible vote by Congress last year. I hadn’t expected it to be the last thing Congress would ever do, but there you go. Some had said that a dictatorship would be more efficient. If waiting in line for half a day to buy government packaged cheese is efficiency, you can have it.

A Little Social Engineering is Death

“Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your often infirmities.” 1 Timothy 5:3 Believe it or not, the Bible is especially relevant where Washington politics is concerned. In this case Paul’s suggestion to Timothy is not to become a drunkard, but to add a small amount of the antioxidants found in red wine to his diet. In the same case, a bit of moderation would immensely useful in DC.

Taxation without Representation

Article 1 of the US Constitution, first half of the third paragraph of section 2:

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons [Modified by Amendment XIV].

Who is the Real Hypocrite?

Esquire Magazine surprised me today by publishing an honest, fair and factual account regarding Sarah Palin. Mrs. Palin has been under attack lately by both those on the left and on the right. No surprise there because the left hates her because of her unflagging honest conservatism and open Christian faith. The right hates her because of her unflagging honesty. You don’t believe me? Then why is it that the only candidate the GOP put up for Nevada Secretary of State already has a few legal problems surfacing? Check out this story.

Dumber and Truly Dumber

“College ready” means something entirely different for Barrack Hussein Obama than it does for most of the people I know. This link will take you to a March 15, 2010 article describing how George Bush’s No Child Left Behind, intended to somehow increase academic proficiency, wound up reducing it. The article also notes what the effect of Obama’s proposal would do; that’s right, reduce them even further.

A Democrat Meltdown over Healthcare

You won’t read about this anywhere else for a while yet because it just happened. Sean Hannity managed to get a recording of Patrick Kennedy melting down over the fact that the news isn’t covering the ongoing debate over Obama’s hope for takeover of the US healthcare system. In his tirade, Kennedy becomes practically incoherent over the empty seats in the press box.

Albert Gore and the Global Warming Ponzi Scheme

Most people of my generation (born in the 50s) are well aware that ex-vice president Al Gore is a walking joke with the functional intelligence of a slime mold. What is surprising is that in spite of this obvious handicap, Mr. Gore has managed to manipulate a significant portion of the world’s population into making him wealthy beyond the dreams of avarice. I’m talking billions, with a “B”. Check out this site, for pages of very damaging evidence. You will notice that an interesting point on how the media consider the deaths of past glory starlets such as Anna Nicole Smith far more important than the corruption of the scientific process for profit is made.

One Law for the Liberal…

A while back I was contacted by an individual who represented himself as someone who spoke for the Islamic community. This person gave the impression that he was reasonable and willing to discuss the issue of Islamic extremism in a civilized and logical manner. He felt that I spent too much time in pointing out the bad without mentioning the good. I replied that if he was willing to condemn the bad acts of those claiming to represent Islam I would put his argument into my column. He agreed to this. This was several weeks ago. As you can see nothing has made it into print.

For Those with Ears to Hear

The link, will take you to a video where Harry Reid states that “only 36,000 people losing their jobs is a good thing”. Every one of the three remaining Obama supporters will point to this statistic and cry, “See! The economy is getting better.”

The Golems of Government

With the stroke of a pen, Barack Hussein Obama added over a trillion dollars to our deficit and potentially trillions more to our national debt. Now, because some rascals in the US Senate might not go along with his takeover of the American Health System, he is pulling out all the stops to reclaim his “precious”. Obama has no concern over whether or not bankrupting every single taxpayer will have any long term effects over our country. He isn’t bothered by the several million jobs his policies have cost our citizens or the probably several million more this takeover will cause. He wants his power. Or in other words, “His Precious.”

Promises Made, Promises Broken

Every political candidate, regardless of the race, regardless of the office, offers up promises of integrity, fidelity, transparency and accessibility. Those who manage to hang on to their promises are rare. Even more so, because when the political world discovers they actually took their oaths and promises seriously, their brethren join hands with the opposition to destroy them. Our representatives have worked overtime to not only develop a culture of corruption but to perfect it.

Real Change

When Obama entered the race for President his main message was “hope and change”. There was little mention of what defined hope and any questions as to what sort of change were treated as if they were racist. The mainstream media, continuing their repackaging of Obama on a daily basis as the campaign went on gave America’s first mocha-toned President what amounted to billions of dollars in campaign support.

Money Talks Part 2

As is usual, when a column hits a nerve I get quite a few comments from folks who may have read it, but didn’t get the message in the words. One commenter sent me a comment spread over 3 long emails. Somehow, to this writer, if I even suggest that the question of Obama’s legitimacy may be a valid topic for discussion, I have gone over the deep end into the tin foil hat conspiracy stew.
