No mea culpa

Bill Cassidy’s statement Harry Reid runs the Senate like a “plantation” is funny. Or, at least it would be funny if it weren’t true. Enter Harry Reid. He’s a man known for his violent rhetoric. He’s vicious in his criticism. He fosters distrust and acrimony among those of lesser status in the hierarchy

Vernacular

Monday is the day when we get to appreciate what the fools controlling Washington D.C. have said in the Lamestream Media. Obama said flat-out he never called ISIS/ISIL the “jayvee squad”. The media won’t do their job of reporting the news honestly, dispassionately and without agenda. We say: ROLL THE TAPE! But that would require the media remember where they placed their integrity, a daunting task in the best of times.

Bringing the Big Top Down

With the Democratic State Central Committee of Louisiana endorsing a convicted felon in the 6th Congressional District race, we see people running around as though their hair’s on fire and their butts are catching. With proclamations of the Democrats being corrupt and interested solely in the chance to get another seat in the House of Representatives marked with a big “D” we must ask: you’re just now noticing?

The Devil's in the details

The image of Obama, tired, tested, testy and rapidly gaining ground on understanding his self-inflicted lack of relevance was paraded before the NATO assembly today.

He never fails me

Each day I arise to the sun shining, the birds chirping and the clear and present danger Obama will screw something else up before lunch. He never fails me.

It’s MESSY!?

Okay, Obama. Let me see if I have this right. “The truth of the matter is, is that the world has always been messy. In part, we’re just noticing now because of social media and our capacity to see in intimate detail the hardships that people are going through. Those are your words.

It’s Extortion, Stupid

A lot of people are getting their bedclothes in a knot because of criticism concerning governmental 
“negotiations” with terrorists. America, under our fearless leader Beaurat Obama and his stooge John “I’m a war hero” Kerry, gave five high-ranking Al-Qaeda operatives to get a misguided/captured/deserted little fella described as seriously ill and in danger of getting worse if he was returned immediately to the loving care of his mommy and daddy.

Follow the money

It appears it’s a good year to be a lawyer in Washington. John Boehner says he’ll bring suit against Beaurat Obama (we’ll see if Boehner has the cojones to actually file the suit) and now presidential wannabe Bobby Jindal will apparently sue Obama and the feds because Common Core has a dead, rotting little worm resident at the heart of the program.

Psycho S.O.Bs

Beaurat Obama has NO spine for facing the threats the world is suffering because of and in the presence of ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) or ISIL (The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) the fundamentalist Islamist whacko unit. These are some Psycho S.O.Bs.

A liar’s a liar

A correspondent offered this observation after having read Bobby Jindal’s statement calling Barack Obama’s handling of the beheading of journalist James Foley: “Calling President Obama a "liar" in any form is unacceptable”.

Too much to lose

Lately it’s been observed some of the allegedly conservative; locally heavy-weight wannabe, political shakers and movers are sniping at each other. They’re also nibbling at the conservative-based organizations trying to move civic awareness toward a more financially responsible board of directors in Washington.

Due Diligence & Unexpected Consequences

Each day I awaken to the sure and present understanding of a basic law of life. For every well intentioned effort to accomplish any goal there will be Unexpected Consequences.

Pimping and pandering

One of my greatest challenges was to help my son understand the difference between “intelligence” and “smarts”. “Intelligence” is the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations. “Smarts” is the skilled use of reason and the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria. “Smarts” indicate the ability to use “intelligence” for the betterment of the situation and those involved in it.

Trial by Media

I watched CNN for as long as I could tolerate it. A totally biased and skewed assemblage of liberal whites and disaffected blacks tossed words about in a Washington D.C. or New York studio concerning the events in Ferguson, Missouri. It was no more than I expected and far less than anybody deserves considering the lack of facts possessed by outsiders hundreds of miles away from the incident.

I cry for my people

Watching the debacle in Ferguson, Missouri is like watching a post-surgical patient tear his stitches loose and start pulling at his entrails. It’s personally destructive, monumentally illogical and terrifyingly incomprehensible as to why the patient does this. It appears the protestor/rioters are destroying property in their own community with the help of insurgent provocateurs from other areas.

Bloodbath and Beyond

The title actually applies to an individual “tweeting” concerning Jesse Jackson’ attempt to “plea bargain” for donations while addressing a church congregation in Ferguson Missouri.

Y’all might want to look at that…

Recently this column addressed the actions of Senator David Vitter (R) Louisiana and his having “turned coat” from his prior position on the adoption of Common Core Standards as the guiding principle for public school education in Louisiana. Vitter is running for Governor. My impression hasn’t changed and I find it difficult to understand why a man who once presented himself to me conservatives as a champion of the middle-class has become more a mouthpiece for an untested, apparently invalid program suggestive of government intrusion into the conduct of education as it concerns our children.

Thin Blue Line

I’ve noticed a great deal of “whizzin’ and whinin’” about the apparent militarization of law enforcement entities across the nation. From the wearing of concealed body armor to the point of accepting military hardware allowing SWAT members to approach a scene closer than would be advisable without it, the police are being criticized: vociferously.

Sex, Lies and Videotape

Common Core has a way of bringing out the truth in politicians’ acts. This not so simple program designed and developed by elitist elements of the business world and supplemented by self-serving academicians has become one of the most divisive and polarizing issues to hit America in a long time. It’s also proven to be illuminating as it casts light into the shadowy depths of politicians’ lack of constancy and character.

Quotes of Note

Whenever the world starts repeating itself with wars and deadly elements of human suicidalism as well as the onslaught of Pandoran Box escapees conducting a biological jihad against the innocents of the world, we’re overcome by the sense of futility in commenting about it all. It all seems repetitive. We argue. We condemn. We offer prayers for the end of it all and for the lost souls affected most by the trials.
