Romney Wisconson Victory Speech – Capitalism vs. Socialism | Romney vs. Obama

For a change, I really don’t have much to write here. Yesterday, Mitt Romney continued his march of inevitability toward the G.O.P. presidential nomination with decisive victories in Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia. The victory speech he gave in Wisconsin afterwards could not lay out the difference between a country led by Mitt Romney and the one we are currently experiencing under the failed leadership of Barack Obama. It’s as simple as deciding between a system that created the wealthiest, most powerful country on the planet or a system that has taken down every country that has ever tried it. It’s a choice between free will or government control. It’s a choice between the American Dream or the Marxist Morass. It’s a choice between leading the world or blending in with mediocrity. It’s a choice between hard work and rewards or hope and change. It’s a choice...

Santorum, Gingrich, Palin – Yours Is No Disgrace

I’m tired of seeing it. It’s one thing if a candidate runs an attack ad filled with facts that cast one of their political rivals in a bad light. It’s another thing, though, when the attack is worded in such a way to make a good thing sound like something that is bad. “The Bridge to Nowhere.” It is a phrase that was used effectively by the Obama campaign against Sarah Palin and now, Mitt Romney … (ahem) … I mean the “Romney Super P.A.C.” has been blanketing the nation with an ad that condemns Rick Santorum for voting for the same “bridge to nowhere” that Palin backed. What is a bridge to nowhere, really? Before almost any bridge is ever built, the place that it leads to is pretty isolated in most cases. There are scores of very popular Keys off the west coast of Florida that would all...

Democrats to Rewrite the Constitution?

Democrats to Rewrite the Constitution?

With the Democratic assault on religion front and center now, it is time to address the real problem. The Left hates the Constitution. There are too many rules set forth in the archaic document that simply do not apply to the world we live in now, they say. Since Democrats are far too busy at the moment spinning numbers, knowing that their intellectually challenged base will follow blindly along like they always have, I thought I’d give them a good start in rewriting the document. Admittedly, I don’t have the time to rewrite the whole thing; I figure if they can put together a 1,990 page healthcare bill that amounts to little more than, “buy health insurance or else,” surely they can finish up their new Constitution in a matter of minutes. I did manage to finish up the Preamble for them and hope it meets with their approval...

Obama’s Backwards Bible

Obama’s Backwards Bible

While the mainstream liberal media continues to ridicule Rick Santorum for being a man of faith, they give a pass to Barack Obama. Not only did they brush aside Obama’s decades of worship in the church of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, but they let him freely quote from the bible and think nothing of it. During a campaign stump speech taxpayer-funded “official presidential visit” at the National Prayer Breakfast earlier this month, Barack Obama, trying to both prove what a devout Christian he is and justify taxing the wealthy, quoted from the Book of Luke, saying it “coincides with Jesus’ teaching that for unto whom much is given, much shall be required.” It seems like Barack Obama has it backwards. Although there are a relatively small number of “rich people” who inherited their money, the vast majority of the truly wealthy have sacrificed their time, their energy and, in many...

Check Please! – Joblessness Driving Americans Crazy

The Obama administration has really been doing some creative accounting when it comes to reporting the number of unemployed Americans. Their skewing of the employment statistics is right up there with the deceptive practices China uses to manipulate its currency! While the average American is starting to feel all warm and fuzzy because Barack Obama has told them that the unemployment rate is going down, the President is hiding a dirty little secret; the number of people with jobs in this country has fallen to its lowest rate in three decades! According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report released late Friday (which is when all presidential administrations release bad news that they want to hide), the number of able bodied, working age people who have a job of any kind (including part time jobs) is down to only 63.7% of the total workforce. A whopping 1.2 million people...

New Romney Attack Ad Filled With More Half Truths

New Romney Attack Ad Filled With More Half Truths

It was only a matter of time. With Rick Santorum surging and, in fact, now leading Mitt Romney in the polls for the Michigan primary, the Romney attack machine has just leveled its first volley at the former Pennsylvania senator. As was the case in the Florida attack ads that stopped Newt Gingrich in his tracks, the ads are filled with half truths that are at best, deceitful and, at worst, outright slander. Amongst other things, the Romney Super Pac ad attacks Rick Santorum for supporting the Alaska “Bridge to Nowhere.” The Bridge to Nowhere was part of more than 6,000 pet project add-ons in the 2005 Transportation Bill. Many positive things were in the bill that had federal highway construction, repair and maintenance as its main focus in addition to new highway safety programs. It should come as no shock to anyone that there are often many pork...

The Question Barack Obama Has Never Answered …

During the Democratic Primary in 2008, Charles Gibson asked Barack Obama the only difficult question I think he was asked that whole year. The Democratic presidential hopeful did not have an answer then, he did not have an answer for it during the subsequent presidential debate with John McCain and he still does not have an answer. The question dealt with capitol gains taxes and how he could justify raising them. Not only did Charles Gibson point out that, historically, every time capital gains taxes have been raised, tax revenues to the federal government have decreased and that, conversely, every time they have been lowered, government tax revenues have increased, Mr. Gibson also pointed out that raising capital gains taxes would severely harm 100 million people in this country who own stocks or who have 401K’s that they depend on for their retirement income. Obama hemmed and hawed, stuttered...

Obama Set to Abolish Communion and Free Speech?

The latest uproar in the political spectrum is the one involving contraception and whether businesses supported or run by the Catholic church can be compelled to provide something that is clearly against their religious doctrines. The Right is framing this as a violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution. The Left argues that a woman is entitled to free contraception. So, lets break this thing down piece by piece, to see if we can come up with a rational conclusion as to who is really right here. I’ll start right off by stating that I a not a Catholic. Although raised as a Presbyterian, I really have no particular religious affiliation at all, in fact. Whether or not I think the Catholic church is right or wrong about birth control being a sin is beside the point. I’m not a Catholic so I have no more right to...

Romney Lies – Newt Gingrich DID NOT Resign In Disgrace

Thinking that I, perhaps, had a poor recollection of history regarding the Gingrich reign as Speaker of the House, I started trolling around the web, digging up stories that hit the presses on the day that Newt Gingrich resigned back in November 7, 1998. Hardly the “resigned in disgrace” label that Mitt Romney is bludgeoning Gingrich with in a non-stop barrage of ads in Florida, the stories from the newspapers – many of which are regarded by most to be very Left leaning – tell an entirely different story. According to The Washington Post, several House members stated that Gingrich had confided in them earlier in the year that he intended to resign in December (he ended up resigning a month early because of the turmoil and division in the party that occurred after they lost 5 seats in the November 1998 election, although they still retained a 223...

To Everything – Spend, Spend, Spend

To Everything – Spend, Spend, Spend

Thomas L. Friedman, a New York Times columnist, appeared on Meet The Press Sunday morning and advocated a one dollar per gallon tax on gasoline to help pay for the war in Afghanistan. David Gregory, the show’s host, didn’t even blink an eye. There is nothing at all shocking about Friedman’s proposal. He is a New York Times Columnist, after all, which only goes hand in hand with being a Liberal. And, his new book, Hot, Flat and Crowded, makes the wild and completely illogical leap that the country’s current financial crisis is due to not spending fortunes to prevent the unpreventable … global warming. Only a true Liberal can come up with the idea that we are in debt because we didn’t spend enough! The Left has always been about increasing taxes. Since taking over the entire legislative body and the presidency less than a year ago, the...
