Rules We Wish OWS Knew

I got the list from an email and thought that it would be nice if the OWS people had learned them when they were in high school. Life is not fair – get used to it! The world doesn’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good …

Demagogueing Gridlock

After waiting more than two days to respond to Standard & Poor’s downgrade of US credit to AA+ President Obama showed that he really is a one-trick pony by blaming everything but his own incompetent administration. He called attention to the earthquake that damaged Japan and the Arab Spring (which he supports) then sniped at …

Obama’s Arrogance on the Debt Ceiling

admin — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 03:56:12 +0000

Obama tried invoking Ronald Reagan yet again in his speech on the debt limit but I still haven’t heard any commentators mention one thing that I see as standing out in his speech. Leave out the usual class warfare talking points and the poll tested “balanced" approach” and you will see how he wants to …

Kevin Jackson, author of The Big Black Lie and Sexy Brilliance and a long time TEA Party activist blogs at The Black Sphere and doesn’t back down even when the MSNBC talking head makes several attempts to get him back “on the reservation”.

In Obamaland things must be different. They have to be as he is the first politician who has ever uttered the phrase job-killing tax cuts. In Obamaland tax cuts cause job losses. Everybody else in our world talks about job-killing tax hikes but maybe since he thinks that the government is the only entity to …

Spending Cut Specifics

Having heard “The One” repeatedly excoriated by conservatives for not specifying any spending cuts the lamestream media is circling the wagons to defend their president. Chris “Tingling Leg” Matthews asked Rep. Joe Walsh several times where the cuts were in the Cut, Cap and balance bill. I think that Joe did a splendid job despite …

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., likewise bashed a GOP plan to push for a balanced-budget amendment in exchange for raising the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling. "The bottom line is those who want to push a balanced-budget amendment are saying ‘I can’t promise you that I won’t steal again, but I will vote for the Ten Commandments,’" …

Regressive Progressives

Calvin Coolidge would have many lessons for today’s so-called progressives and quite a few for today’s conservatives. Becoming president by succession when Warren G. Harding died in office he was re-elected in 1924 and oversaw the roaring twenties after a recession in 1920-21. His small government views would be considered rabidly right wing today and …

In an press conference about the ongoing debt limit discussions Obama stated that professional politicians who do not want to raise the debt limit are being irresponsible as opposed to his stance in 2006 as a senator. The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership …

Two Simple Points

admin — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 18:43:47 +0000

Here are two simple points for our ruling class to ponder in between golf summits and spending more than we can earn. No taxation without representation. These simple words were the basis for our war of independence from the British crown. Nobody took lightly the threat of war with what was one of the greatest …
