Halfway there

I guess turnout was indeed greater than expected… my damned poll site ran out of stickers before I got there. Oh well, this one will do. Halfway to 2012.  Thankfully, today’s results should stem the tide until we can correct the mistake of 2008.  Now we just have to keep our collective foot on the [...]

Welcome to the new world order

Think the conspiracy theorists are completely out of touch?  Not on this one. Court allows countries to join challenge to Arizona Law In a new twist in the fight over Arizona’s immigration law, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer on Tuesday asked a federal court to disallow foreign governments from joining the U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit to [...]

Peace Through Strength

Seems quite reasonable to me. A Platform for Restoring ‘Peace Through Strength’ In a world characterized by growing threats to freedom and the U.S. Constitution, America’s exceptional role, and indeed our country’s very existence, is at risk.  We believe such times demand a robust, comprehensive national security posture appropriate to today’s threats, and tomorrow’s.  Toward [...]

9th Circus declares lying, cheating, stealing “protected”

Pretty hard to believe. Military.com PASADENA, Calif. — A three-year-old federal law that makes it a crime to falsely claim to have received a medal from the U.S. military is unconstitutional, an appeals court panel in California ruled Tuesday. The decision involves the case of Xavier Alvarez of Pomona, Calif., a water district board member [...]

Has anyone told them?

It’s not the military’s policy. RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Lawyers for a gay rights group asked a federal judge Friday to impose an injunction halting what they called the military’s unconstitutional “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. Congress created the bill, President B.J. Clinton signed it into law. Don’t blame the military for U. S. Law.

Kagan

Yesterday I wrote my Congressman regarding the nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court of the United States.  I told him I hoped he planned to vote against her confirmation, and described some of my reasons.  Today I saw this testimony, and Senator Burr, I hope you heard it, too: A Veteran Puts Kagan [...]

Michael Steele is a Moron

This is Michael Steel trying to be, to quote him, “too cute by half.” “This is a war of Obama’s choosing.”  Apparently he forgot about Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and 9-11. I’m with Bill Kristol on this one… Michael Steele: Resign.

Arizona isn’t laughing

So stop making bad jokes and get to work doing what the people want.

Conspiracy Theorists Gone Wild!

I don’t know who Mr. Orengo is – he could be a Kenyan Ron Paul – but I find it hilarious to read this in an official (Kenyan) government document, over two weeks old, having heard not a peep about it on the news. If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity [...]

Late Friday Night

In the last year, how many times can you recall the phrase “in a statement released late Friday night” in reference to some embarrassing tidbit released by the Obama administration? Too many, certainly. This morning, it was the new muslim envoy to yet another radical islamic nutjob group (why do we seem to have so [...]

2010 State of the Union

I mentioned this to people at work the other day, but haven’t seen another comment/post/blog about it, so I guess I’d better before I forget. The president has an annoying habit of thumping his hands on the podium when he speaks. I don’t know if he’s always had it and I never noticed, or if [...]

Was that a deadline?

Make no mistake (and damn do I hate that phrase), I have no desire to see the maggots housed in the cells in Guantanamo released anywhere in the world, let alone inside the continental United States. That being said, I just cannot resist the urge to point out another failure of Barry and Co. Obama [...]

Obama Fan

Got this one from a friend who likes to forward jokes and such… gave me a chuckle, so I thought I’d share: A teacher asked her 6th grade class how many of them were Obama fans. Not really knowing what an Obama fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids [...]

Saturday Night Politics

Nancy kept the House in session late on a Saturday in order to twist enough arms to get her nearly 2000 page POS passed. Harry is planning to do the same to the Senate this weekend. Does anyone still believe this health care fiasco is above board, proper, legal, and necessary? BOHICA, America. This is [...]
