  • Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor -- Says Roe Is "Settled Law"

    All I need to know about today's U.S. Senate Nomination Hearing for Liberal New York City Feminist Sotomayor, is that she thinks the appalling pro-Abort ''Roe vs. Wade'' Supreme Court ''Decision'' of 1973, is ''Settled Law'' (her words.) Hispanic voters may be trending towards the Democratic Party side of the political ledger lately, and who ...

  • The Big Bailout...Ha!

    There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

  • Obama "Talk the Talk...but can he Walk the Walk" Part 2

    Obama “Talk the Talk… but can he Walk the Walk” Part 2 In 1999, Barack Obama was faced with a difficult vote in the Illinois legislature — to support a bill that would let some juveniles be tried as adults, a position that risked drawing fire from African-Americans, or to oppose it, possibly undermining his image as a tough-on-crime moderate. ...

  • I Liked Ike -- Now I Like Mike - HUCKABEE, that is

    I liked everything I heard about Mike Huckabee, even before he started running in earnest for his Party's Nomination to be our next U.S. President. The more I learned about Mike Huckabee, the better I liked his candidacy. Further, he is a very well-spoken and persuasive guy, with that down-to-Earth Midwestern style I always liked about ...

  • Re: May I Suggest Reading The Transcript

    McCain is a wily coyote politician from arid Arizona, who has spent his long, post-hero career bedding women and making hay in Washington DC politics. Reminds me of George Mitchell and not a few others. Such big egos and such small results. Is George Mitchell married even yet? At least Bill Cohen found someone to settle down with. Not only would ...

  • Obama's unconscious loathing of America

    Obama would appear to be the very embodiment of hubris. However, that hubris masks a deeply conflicted individual riven with intense resentments. As he attempts to conceal his (record of) disdain for mainstream (''white'') Americans we ought to bear in mind that he has always gotten through the door so to speak, because he was a charismatic, ...

  • The problem with an Obama nomination

    Barack Obama will make a excellent President, but not yet. He is only two, or so years out of the Illinois State legislature. He just does not have the experience to be in charge of the mighty nuclear arsenal of The United States. He proved that by his decision to vote against the war in Iraq. Yes, that sounds crazy, but realize that the ...

  • Re: The Problem with Mormons

    I've been converted to Mormanism and I don't understand how other's can't open themselves to the possibility that God appeared to Joseph Smith, led him to the 'gold plates', and caused him to translate these plates into the ''Book Of Mormon''? I don't subscribe to ALL that is written in the book of Morman, but I'll tell ya what, raising my ...

  • Clucking up the wrong tree, chicky

    Gee wiz bang golly gee wilkers. Didn't know the 14% Approval Rating Midgets in Congress meant all that much. You know, regardless of what you think (in this age of relativity in morals) the Moral Compass needs to be set to and your mockery of the religious (unless part of the Religious Left, one presumes--Yes, Virginia, there really is such a ...

  • Gall and Nerve.....

    For performing in front of a captive audience at the Citadel In Charleston, SC. (The cadets were not allowed to field questions...) I'll give the Democrats that much. That's not much, but still.... Nerve is important in life. It is not the MOST important thing, however. At some point one must start thinking things through. Entertaining? In a ...
