The Year 2012… Farce, fiasco, fascism, and faith

Well, now that it’s clear that the Mayans are no better than Dick Morris at predicting the future, I’d like to offer some year end – if not world end – thoughts. As a principled conservative, I’m generally aggrieved at the state of the world, but as a Christian, I’m joyful even in sadness, for sadness comes from worldly equations, and joy from the promise of Eternal Life.

Obama: the same man….

Friends, the man – Barack Obama – telling us that mass shootings are “unacceptable” is the same man who, as an Illinois senator, voted – by himself – to murder viable babies that the abortion doctor failed to kill… He’s the same man who called the Ft. Hood massacre by a Muslim radical “workplace violence,” and told us not to “jump to conclusions”…

Record Low U.S. Birth Rates: canary enter coal mine



Friends, I know, there’s a lot of irony here…. A bird protected under Section 1-c, Rule A4.015 of the Endangered Species Act, and a coal operation shut down by EPA Rule 24-d.547, are being used to sound a warning against national hari-kari. But it’s true that before the advent of Red Diaper Dawn, miners would send birds underground to determine whether the air was safe to breathe. If the canary came back, it was time to head down, but if the canary died – a common occurrence – an official from the EPA would slap a lawsuit on the owners and fine them into bankruptcy on behalf of the Sierra Club.


Thanksgiving 2012: struggling with the “happy” thing




Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving… Hmmm–I thought, this year, if I practiced saying it, it might get easier, but I’m not going to lie–the “happy” part is difficult. I’m not happy with my country at the moment, and I don’t suspect that in the future, I’m going to be breaking into a Snoopy Dance.

What we lost on November 6th




“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” ~Barack Obama, October 30, 2008




America’s future? Britain’s NHS plays God with care denial

You’re 29 years/old, you have Cystic Fibrosis, you need an expensive drug in order to survive.... The government-run socialized medical system that - by law - must approve drug-requests deems your survival odds insufficient to justify the cost of purchase.... They reject your request.

Ohio by way of Somalia: Dem Fraud Machine gears-up in the Buckeye state



Friends, I really, really hate reporting on left-wing fraud efforts…. One wants to believe in ballot integrity, that this – America – isn’t some 3rd world rathole where juntas miraculously snag 90% of the vote from Shanty City…. But we have to remember, there are Americans who welcome this, and not only welcome it, but work toward destroying election integrity for two reasons: 1) they can’t win on the merits; and 2) they seek the power to destroy liberty by means of acquiring monopolistic power. The left has no virtue, no morals and, as in all things Alinsky, the means justifies the end.


The Campaign Hurricane e-mails: Obama seeks $$, Romney sends prayers

Wow. I never get used to it… As hyper-informed and cognizant of the evil/buffoonery/cravenness of this administration as I am, I never get used to the petty, maladroit, and moronic e-mails with which they pepper their base. No–I’m not part of the base, but my masochistic side subscribes to Obama-blasts, Moochelle-blasts, Messina-Axelrod-Springsteen-Sheryl Crow…. You get the point: masochism. None so painful as this shameless tripe on the eve of a dangerous storm affecting 20% of the U.S. population:

Cultural Marxist Video of the Year….  Destroying America, one kid at a time!!

Friends, this is unbelievable…. I’m really almost at loss for words here….

Benghazi: the Great Media Whitewash…. a National Disgrace

Today, as Fox News broke new revelations that the White House received exigent requests for help during the Benghazi consulate attack, I went to see what the Big Three were running. As reported earlier on our Facebook page:

ObamaCare, the Supremes, and Catholic delusion

We’re now weeks, not months, away from the Supreme Court ruling on ObamaCare. Looking back, I remember comments by Fidel Castro upon passage of the law. Until that time, we’d “lagged Cuba” and been denied the “right” to have technocrats control health insurance via “progressive” planning. We achieved “common sense.” The complaint, that “America is the only western nation that denies health care,” had been salved. No one anticipated that in due course the government would redefine the First Amendment, force religious hospitals to violate moral dictates, and spin opposition into hostility against women.

Conservatopia: Rumination on Reality

The nation is tired, not mentally (though there is that), but tired - as in sick-and-tired - of anyone who shares an opinion at odds with another opinion being called a bigot, a racist, or worse. Racism exists, and always will in America, but the Left is soiling the subject. Those dedicated to remunerative anger - the Sharptons and Jacksons - are modern day rakes; and sadly many groups, blinkered to reality, march in lockstep with an obvious scam.

Walker Trails in Wisconsin Recall

Wow, I don’t know where to begin. Sad - and somewhat panicked - having just read the latest Rasmussen, I feel the country slipping away. Scott Walker now trails - among likely voters! - in the Wisconsin governor recall referendum. Despite empowering school districts, creating a pro-job environment, and passing sensible reforms, he’s down five points (52-47) with the trend not his friend.

Remembering Breitbart: a Roman Candle Star

Andrew Breitbart passed away last night. Breitbart, lightning and lodestar, was activism personified, a raging pioneer in the media revolution. Courageous, fearless, tireless.... He was these and more, an adjective train--irascible, irreverent, iconic, IN YOUR FACE.

Failure to Honor Washington: a Triumph of the Left

On this, what would have been George Washington’s 279th birthday week, Americans will go about their business, a free people, without acknowledging – nor celebrating – the man whose toil on their behalf was measureless. I say “free people,” sadly aware that we’re becoming less free, and that diminution of Washington symbolizes the push to “alter” history to make this so. This, of course, derives from the Left, which spreads tales – false ones – of racism amongst the Founders, and which last year had members of the NAACP hide the General from view. Indeed, they boxed him in, shielding the Offender, even as they praised the author of the line, “Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

Bill Maher and Tim Tebow: Self-loathing vs. Grace

Now that Christmas is over and atheists can crawl back into their holes until Easter, Bill Maher’s now infamous “Tim Tebow Tweet” requires perspective. The tweet, posted on Christmas Eve day, read: Wow, Jesus just f**ked Tim Tebow! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere in hell Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler "Hey, Buffalo's killing them." Maher was referring to the Buffalo Bills pounding the Denver Broncos, implying that Tebow ascribes touchdowns to God.

No Budget Senate to “streamline” appointments

What would you say if I told you that a Senate which hasn’t passed a budget in 800 days and seemingly does nothing but model ties and cut ribbons is about to “streamline” presidential appointments by abdicating authority to the executive branch?

Governor Christie: “Where I send my kids is none of your business.”

Uncle Sam “shows” Missouri farmer, issues $90,000 fine for selling rabbits

You can’t make this up. A Missouri man, presumably trying to make a living in the era of Hope and Change, has been fined more than twice the cost of a Chevy Volt for illegally selling rabbits. John Dollarhite says he didn’t know a federal license was required and, even if he had known, probably wouldn’t have foreseen the blindsiding of the 8th amendment by the Department of Agriculture. To wit:

Game On: Pawlenty calls for phase-out of ethanol subsidies

Tim Pawlenty is serious. I’ve been saying for awhile that a ticket with Pawlenty, a two-term governor from Minnesota, at the top, and a galvanizer – an Allen West or a Marco Rubio – at the bottom, can bring the White House to Republicans. Going forward, boldness is needed, and in Des Moines, Iowa, Pawlenty came through. In a speech entitled “A Time for Truth,” he kicked-off his campaign:
