REFLECTIONS

Miss Ann Thrope is not very political.  She would, for instance, never let her conservatism get in the way of watching The West Wing, no matter how many times I razzed her about it.  She even once stupidly said it doesn’t even matter much who wins the Presidency.  (Don’t worry I never let her live [...]

I am still in a state of shock and dismay.  I think Robert Stacy McCain may be right  http://spectator.org/archives/2012/11/07/doomed-beyond-all-hope-of-rede , and Mark Steyn.  We chose decline with our eyes wide open.  My best friend, who usually avoids discussing politics at all costs, posted this on her facebook page.  I think it is a great summary:  hat [...]

The mess that Obama is always whining about is as to nothing compared to the mess Romney will inherit, if we are lucky enough to get rid of Obama. Reagan came with a reputation.  A reputation based mostly on the media’s lies and spins.  Ironically the media’s fabrication of the trigger happy cowboy worked in [...]

President Obama has many times said that the economy isn’t fixed because it was more broken then he knew.  http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2011/12/14/huge_see_i_told_you_so_obama_says_economy_was_worse_than_we_knew  He has repeatedly said that 3 years is not long enough for him to fix an economy that was damaged beyond his ken. In other words he was unprepared and unqualified to be President.  Well [...]

As much as I was in 1988 for Vice-President Bush when he achieved the presumptive Republican nomination. Of course, his being President Reagan’s v-p was a great help; Bush’s election was assumed Reagan’s third term. In this year of 2012, the presumptive nominee could have been any Republican since the President Obama is as competent [...]

This article is quite disturbing.  http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/292970/obama-casually-offers-israel-goodies-bomb-iran-iafteri-election-daniel-foster  The president……  has apparently offered Israel sweeteners for delaying any strike against Tehran’s nuclear facilities until after the election. FromThe New York Post: The President’s lack of concern for Israel is not disturbing, I take that for granted.  The President’s lack of concern for the USA also not disturbing. [...]

So the Left is doing what the Left does best, indeed the only thing the Left can do, they have changed the subject to focus on one of their “poor” victims.  http://www.jammiewf.com/2012/sandra-flukes-appearance-is-no-fluke/   If you think this entitled, spoiled, selfish brat is a victim, well let me take you to your local children’s shelter so you [...]

All day today I’ve been reading liberals and libertarians lie.   The most recent is at National Review (remember when NR was a conservative magazine?) http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/291628/we-re-already-europe-michael-tanner#comment-495035  In this article Cato’s Michael Tanner outright lies:  And Republicans? They are busy debating the pros and cons of birth control This is the same lie I heard from liberals [...]

Libertarians are such stinking hypocrites.  They talk endlessly about the evils of big government, but when it comes down to elections they will fling themselves on the biggest government they can find, as long as it promises to protect them from the big, bad, social conservative.  Roger Simon over at PJ Media http://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2012/02/09/the-santorum-surprise/2/  joins in the [...]

It isn’t half time, it’s the free skate.  Unfortunately in the short program of President Obama, the US fell on all three jump passes and a spin.  We are dead last going into the free skate. Which would be fine if we had a GOP nominee with a quad.  Gov. Perry’s job creation in the [...]

No, sorry if I got your hopes up I am not converting, I am taking a stand for Liberty, the First Amendment, for whatever shreds of The Constitution are left in this country.  The Secretary of Health and Human Services as decreed that the Catholic church will surrender it’s principles in the name of the god [...]

Instapundit made me explode again today.  http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/127073/  I was so outraged I sent him a letter and while composing it I figured the answer to why I despise libertarians so much more than liberals.  This is my letter to Prof. Reynolds.  Cutting spending 43% and getting social issues off the GOP platform works for you?  [...]

Liberals have to keep calling Gov. Palin stupid, because her brilliance is beyond them. She is a genius at telling middle America exactly what they want to hear. She hits every note perfectly to appeal to  ordinary working class America. This ad that has gone viral throughout the internet is the most brilliant bit of political [...]

43 Senate Republicans Oppose Reid Plan; Lacks Votes To Clear … – Zero Hedge After the Senate promptly voted down Boehner’s congressional plan, now it is the GOP’s turn to return the favor after a House vote on Reid’s bill is imminent at around 2:30 pm EDT, and will result in a… View or comment [...]

“I keep thinking that insanity is a state where a person can’t tell what’s real.  Well what’s real now is insane and if I accepted it as real, I’d have to lose my mind wouldn’t I?”  Eddie Willers in Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand Yes I admit it I succumbed to peer pressure; I read [...]

So the Sec. of Energy has decided its the government’s job to forbid the American consumer from wasting their money.  http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/271470/light-motif-mark-steyn Well if the government must ban wastes of money I suggest he start with , DVDs of the 2nd Star Wars trilogy,  tickets to any movie with a numeral in the title or starring Sean [...]

Like the corn of which a more wholesome America sang, the hypocrisy today  is as high as an elephant’s eye.   The USA celebrates that for which we condemn Israel: the single minded hunting and killing of a terrorist over many years.   http://pajamasmedia.com/tatler/2011/05/02/condemn-this-awful-act-of-illegal-american-violence/ The liberals meanwhile are rejoicing because President Obama has done that  for which President Bush was called [...]
