REFLECTIONS

I don’t know what to write either.  Our web master linked to this excellent column http://spectator.org/archives/2010/07/29/the-cure-for-political-dejecti  Except for the mandatory Republican bashing every conservative feels is necessary, I agree with the sentiments and the sheer dumbstruck feeling of what can I possibly say.  Read the column and the comment from NVA Patriot.  

Over at Instapundit there is the usual brief comment on an interesting Powerline post http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/103522/  Yes, and one that perhaps explains why so many voters think the current setup lacks the consent of the governed. Nope, sorry not buying that, not letting the governed off the hook for this one.    The governed quite willingly walked [...]

As the Congress ‘debated’ this Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, we were told by Madam Speaker Pelosi that we would learn of its wonderful contents AFTER it passes. We are learning. The word, wonderful, has been newpeaked. [see George Orwell's 1984] ABCnews Money has reported: Starting Jan. 1, 2012, Form 1099s will become a [...]

3 years ago Sen. Obama was accusing Gen. Petraeus of lying.  Oh he never came out directly with the words.  He just said the General’s testimony was not true.  Now he is depending on the General to save his behind in Afghanistan. http://deathby1000papercuts.com/2008/09/petraeus-report-what-obama-and-biden-said-one-year-ago/ Gen. Patraeus of course is an officer and a gentleman.  More than [...]

Over the weekend I tweeted my impression that Obama wants to lose the November mid-terms.  His leftist ideology makes him utterly incapable of the needed economic reforms to revive our economy.  The economy will continue to sink, he knows it and needs a fall guy.  The brand new GOP Congress will be that fall guy.  [...]

In all the years Ms. Noonan worked for President Reagan did she ever listen to him?  In her latest journey to irrationality she claims Carter wasn’t responsible for the hostage crisis.  Dumbfounding.  Never mind that Carter helped the Aytalloah seize power in Iran.  As Ms. Noonan’s old boss pointed out many times, weakness is a [...]

Once again our Federal Government has found a way to out-mad the Hatter’s Mad Tea Party.  It is wrong, it is racial profiling,  it is nazi like,  to demand “papers”, meaning a legal i.d, of someone suspected of being in the country illegally.  On the other hand in all 57 states (typo intended to insult [...]

I am so old I can remember a time when the liberals favorite t-shirt and bumper sticker was “question authority.”  Today the blog-o-sphere informs me that liberals are throwing temper tantrums because the American people are questioning authority.  http://theothermccain.com/2010/05/09/skepticism-and-independence-bad/ I gues “ONLY question conservative authority, bow and scrape to liberal authority” wouldn’t have fit on [...]

Over the last few days I have lost track of how many times I’ve seen headlines espousing the new Arizona immigration law as “polarizing”, “divisive” and  “controversial.”  This for a law that 60%  of the country supports.  On the other hand we have Obamacare, from the great unifier, President Obama.  58% of the country, and [...]

Okay let me see if I have this straight?  Sen. Reid shot down the jobs killing tax and cap bill, in order to focus the Senate’s attention on the jobs killing illegal alien amnesty bill.   All in an attempt to secure re-election by earning the votes of people not legally entitled to vote in this country.  [...]

The Democrats shan’t be historically known as socialists, fascists, corporatists, communists –though those types are all their ideological cousins — these Americans who are calling themselves as Democrats (Democratics as the radical left-wingers core-supporters insist their party members be called. See any Daily Kos post about it, @dailykos) will lend their name to the newest [...]

Is he an American hating leftist, or is he just incompetent?  And does it even matter?  http://tinyurl.com/ybcynjk Cast my vote for he knows what he is doing, and he’s doing it on purpose.  He was trained in Indonesia and the Ivy League to hate the very country that has given him nothing but rewards he has [...]

Not a day goes by that I don’t find in my email box an offer for millions or tens of millions of dollars if I just supply my bank account information.  I always wonder how can these spammers make any money?  How can anyone be so stupid as to provide their bank account number to [...]

I believe Liberty has come to an end in this country.  I believe the American people have chosen the lure of government “protection” over the Inalienable Rights of Man.  In this one case I would be happy to be proved wrong.  Bill Whittle has an excellent video to explain what you can do to start to turn the [...]

Heading to the “Carter Zone” hmm.   http://theothermccain.com/2010/04/02/obamas-new-low/  Some wise woman said Obama would be another Carter before he was even elected.  Who was that now, who? Actually it was Obama himself who told us he would be another Carter, remember?  Bitter Clingers, social justice better than increased revenues, doubling the cost of electricity.  These were Barack [...]

See this seems obvious to me.  But in this day and age you just can’t assume that people can see the obvious.  After all a large percentage  of the country thinks gov’t control of medical care will improve quality while reducing cost.  This is so obviously wrong I do not know how people who believe it can remember [...]

I am not sure Liberty will survive today’s vote on Serfdom.  I think today the sins of the fathers will finally be taken out on the 10th generation. We elected Barack Obama to finally wash ourselves clean of the sin of the slavery.  It was always wrong of course, Obama is the descendant of slave [...]
