Virginia Right!

The Council has spoken, the votes have been cast, and the results are in for this week’s Watcher’s Council match up. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose (The more things change, the more they stay the same) This week’s winner, Joshuapundit’s Adolf Hitler-Progressive Pioneer is something of a controversial problem child, and I’m [...]

This op-ed in the Washington Post supports a thoroughly bad idea:  Repeal or substantial repeal of the American Servicemembers Protection Act (ASPA): Next month’s anniversary is an appropriate time for Congress to review U.S. policy toward the court and whether the restrictions (including the authorization to invade The Hague) in the American Service-Members’ Protection Act [...]

The NY Times gets it mostly wrong again in its editorial, Detained in Libya. A Libyan militia has detained four officials of the International Criminal Court since Thursday on spurious charges. They should be released immediately. The Times is probably right as far as it goes.  ICC officials should be treated with respect.  But here’s [...]

Once again, President Obama took time today to press for a tax hike, his “Buffett Tax,” instead of addressing unemployment, high gas prices, or even this country’s debt crisis. Of course, the Buffett Tax would do basically nothing to help solve any of these serious problems.   Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell blasted Obama’s focus [...]

Do you remember the wonderful video ad in the GOP primary for Governor of California – the Demon Sheep ad?  Carly Fiorina attacked Tom Campbell as a FCINO (Fiscal Conservative in Name Only) but her ad was greeted with derision as too clever and somewhat weird?  I did not believe it at the time.  I [...]

Wow! Are you following this? WARNING: If you are easily offended please do not read this! Fair warning. It gets fairly graphic. Update: 3:52 PM – Congressman Weiner to speak on Fox News about this story. That should be good! A picture of a man’s, ahem, “growing member” (clad in briefs, thankfully) was sent from [...]

On November 2 Obama’s Boots will be Removed From the Economy’s Throat The change America was promised in 2008 has not been delivered by President Obama. Americans wanted change. We wanted change from the rising unemployment, the declining economy and the erosion of the American Dream. In fairness, these things will not happen overnight, nor [...]

Think back a few years to the recession Ronald Reagan “inherited” from Jimmy Carter. The 1979 Oil Crisis caused a rapid rise in Oil prices as the Shaw of Iran was deposed and, soon after, Iraq invaded Iran. The instability in the Middle East sent oil prices skyrocketing, and the US Economy into a nosedive. [...]

Chancletazo.  A spanking with a slipper. Val Prieto over at Babalu blog  says that Harry Reid has received a serious chancletazo from Cubachi, after Reid’s statement that he knows no reason why a hispanic would be a Republican. Well Harry, let me introduce myself. I am the daughter of Cuban exiles who have seen first hand the failures of liberal and socialist policies in their native country. My father in fact, was a political prisoner in Cuba for five years because the government deemed his speech against repression and dictatorship “hateful and dangerous.” Sort of like what you democrats say about the tea parties, although you have not thrown their members in jail… yet. Cubachi gets even better but I’ll only show some of it here.  Fairness dictates that you go there yourself. Sweet justice for me, would be to see Marco Rubio enter the senate as you exit your way out to hand the keys to Sharron Angle

I found Stephen Bloom quite by accident although Bloom and I would agree there is no such thing as an accident in God’s economy!  He’s a outspoken Christian attorney who works for Irwin and McKnight in Carlisle, PA (where Jim Thorpe went to college!) who has two blogs (at least) about being an attorney and follower [...]

The Progressive Socialists find American society inherently unfair. All of their waking thoughts are about how they can make things more fair, equitable and just, in their own minds.

And to progressives, those that have less are always the victim, the wealthy are always the oppressor who needs to be “taught a lesson”. And remember, progressives must have a victim to do anything. Race, gender and financial class are their favorites, but sexual orientation is growing in favor. Christians can never be victims, as they must be loathed by decree.

In the interest of fairness, if a Republican makes a mistake, I feel obligated to mention it. And in Bob McDonnell’s ad, he incorrectly states that the Cap and Trade bill that his opponent Creigh Deeds supports will cost families an additional $532 per year. I feel it only right to point out that this figure is incorrect.

Really? No! I am shocked.

I am shocked that this is news. President Obama is quite incapable of dealing with a real Town Hall meeting. Not just the fact that he would be totally unable to answer real questions, or deal with real people. The fact is, he does not understand the Health Care bill himself. He didn’t write it.

The Obama administration and Leon Panetta discovered a “secret” program to kill Al Qaeda at the CIA. Out of his new found sense of appeasement that would make Neville Chamberlain proud, the president decided that the “secret” plot to kill Osama Bin Laden and his minions is just too harsh.
