Obama’s Inauguration A Disaster - Literally…

I wish I could have left town this week to some place quiet until this inauguration is finally over so that everyone here can have their collective political # and life can get back to normal." - D.C. Area Resident & Reader Jonathan (Last Name withheld)

Reid Between The Lines (Deconstructing Harry)

"This war is lost..." - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid

Freedom’s final solution

Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the object worship of the state. It will prescribe for every one where they are to work, what they are to work at, where they may go and what they may say. Socialism is an attack on the right to breathe freely. No socialist system can be established without a political police. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanely directed in the first instance. --Winston Churchill

The Hair of the Dog

2008 is mercifully coming to an end. The year of the #-backward; the year of the bailout, the meltdown and of failed leadership will soon be behind us, as will the disaster known as the Bush Presidency. Unfortunately, it appears as if President Bush isn't quite prepared to saddle up and ride off into the sunset singing "Home on the Range" just yet. His approval of a bailout for the auto industry is yet one more nail in the coffins of capitalism, our constitution and individual freedom.

Celebrations of Death and Emptiness

As millions of Americans prepare to reaffirm their faith by celebrating Christmas, the obligatory attacks on the Judeo-Christian traditions of our country are well underway. While millions of Christians celebrate the birth of their Savior, they are met by naked attacks on their beliefs and celebrations of the culture of death. This Christmas season, something stinks in the state of Washington.

The Usurper’s New Clothes

Intro: Facts are so inconvenient to those brimming with intellectual dishonesty.

US Killing Its Own Constitution

The strength of our republic lies in its constitution. Written in blood, the US Constitution has served as our guiding framework for generations. Federal power exists solely by virtue of the Constitution's existence. Our representatives in Washington all swear to uphold and defend it, but lately, politicians in both parties have been waging war against it.

Bridge Loans To Nowhere

Nothing is more ridiculous than the notion being adopted by our government that anyone or anything is somehow too big to fail. There are 435 members in the House of Representatives and a Senate of 50 and yet they have failed us quite miserably and repeatedly.

Barack Obama’s Bucket Brigade

Now that Democrats have finally finished pleasuring themselves, perhaps we can all come back down to Earth for just a moment and face reality. There's a lot of tough work ahead and Barack Obama is woefully unprepared for the task at hand. Although he won the election, he also laid bare his innumerable weaknesses and set his own expectations so incredibly high, he may never live up to them.

A 2008 Election Post-Mortem

After nearly 2 years, mountains of lies, countless examples of media misconduct and billions of dollars in mudslinging, Barack Obama has made history as the 44th, yet first black President of the United States. Democrats also further tightened their clutches on Congress. Although not quite the whoopin it was hyped to be, it was substantial enough to send a loud and clear message to the Republican Party:

Obama’s School of Thought Dismisses Middle Class

The 2008 election is just hours away. Unfortunately, Americans are only now beginning to understand what Barack Obama meant when he said he would bring much needed change to Washington. Not lower taxes, not fiscal restraint, not government reform; but radical, socioeconomic change that completely reshuffles the deck and reorders society into what Obama believes would be fair. In the process, he would destroy our freedoms, hinder our successes, ruin our middle class and forever alter our way of life. Had it not been for a guy named Joe Wurzelbacher, Obama may have never admitted what his intentions were.

Gird Your Loins and Hold Your Nose

"From each, according to his ability, to each, according to his need" - Karl Marx The 2008 election cycle has undoubtedly been the most lopsided campaign of bias, double-standards and personal attacks by the media I have ever seen. Such are the societal mores of the party of the jackass; if you can't win fair and square, cheat. Media tactics during this campaign are without equal in terms of their viciousness.

Jack Murtha Sees Rednecks, Constituents See Red

“I hope you don’t have any earmarks in the defense appropriations bills because they are gone and you will not get any earmarks now and forever. … That’s the way I do it!” - Rep. Jack Murtha, in response to Rep. Mike Rodgers'(R-MI) motion to carve Murtha's pork from the Intelligence Authorization Act.

The ACORN Never Falls Far From The Tree

The Constitutional rights of all Americans are being systematically violated by hundreds of thugs in the Democratic Party - and to such an extent that a high likelihood already exists that the 2008 Presidential election has already been irreparably tainted. And when I say thugs, I'm not just referring to the loose assortment of mixed nuts at ACORN, either. I'm talking about the party leadership including their candidate. Americans may want change, but Democrats are willing to resort to theft and thuggery to obtain it.

The Slow But Steady March

Every four years, we put a new tenant in the White House, hoping beyond hope that perhaps things will be different. But things are never different. If we are to have true change in Washington, we must also sweep Congress clean, purging the Capitol of the foul stench of pork and uselessness that's wafted through there for the last 40 years. Fortunately, this year, all 435 House seats and half of the Senate's 100 seats are up for grabs. If we start now, we can finish the job by 2010.

Pork: The Other Right Meat

"Madam Speaker, this is a huge cow patty with a piece of marshmallow stuck in the middle of it, and I'm not going to eat that cow patty." - GA Congressman Paul Broun With Congress' unconstitutional decision to exact collective punishment on us all by using nearly one trillion U.S. tax dollars to engulf our entire nation in the bad debt of a few, we may still call ourselves America, but this is surely no longer the land of the Free, nor the Home of the Brave. It is the land of monstrous, tyrannical, socialist government that cares nothing for the backbone of this nation; the middle class.

The Courage To Do Absolutely Nothing

"Can't we just all go out there and say everything's OK?" - President Bush during contentious negotiations over his 700 billion dollar corporate welfare program

Desperate Times, Desperate Measures

"The Photographs of Senator John McCain have been removed temporarily while Jill Greenburg is in discussions with the Atlantic. Furthermore, we deeply regret the misspelling of the word "warmonger." - Statement from artist Jill Greenburg on McCain photo fraud.

Horseshoes and Hand Grenades

"I graduated in 1979. The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren’t engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it’s not an option that I ever decided to pursue." - Barack Obama on why the U.S. military had no need for his soldiering services.

Conventional Wisdom

Regardless of which political party you support, in order to gauge where exactly the country would be headed under a particular candidate's leadership, most people would listen to the speeches, read the party platform, or in the case of Candidate Obama, simply take him at his word. Conventional wisdom holds that comparing a candidate's voting record to their rhetoric exposes any weaknesses in their commitment to actually do what they promise. But if one desires a truly unvarnished look into the political future under either party, one need look no further than the 2008 National Conventions in Denver and St. Paul.
