Barack Obama: The Antimatter Man

May 11th, 2009 · No Comments · AIG, Antimatter, Ayn Rand, Barack Obama, Constitution, Ron Paul

In anticipation of the new Ron Howard film due to be released later this month, I’ve been re-reading Dan Brown’s book Angels & Demons.
I wouldn’t say Brown is a tremendously clever writer. Frankly, I think he’s little more than a competent storyteller. But what he does better than most is combine historical and scientific fact [...]

O The Irony! Amazon Bestseller List Mirrors Political Split in America

April 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Barack Obama, Bible, Bill Ayers, Constitution, Hugo Chavez, Mark R. Levin, Marxism, Tea Party

I find it fascinating that the top two books on Amazon today are:
1. A pro-America book called Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, by Mark R. Levin, and
2. An anti-America book called Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent, by Eduardo Galeano
The Press is alternately downplaying and [...]

America Under Attack By “Cyberspies” While…

April 9th, 2009 · No Comments · Barack Obama, Cyberspies, Defense Budget, Orwellian

I find it hard to believe that while America is still clearly in the cross hairs of those in other nations who seek to do us harm, Obama’s administration plans to slash defense spending and has ceased using the terms “terrorist” and “global war on terror,” preferring instead the Orwellian “man-caused disaster” for [...]

Really? You Coulda Knocked Me Over With a Feather!

April 9th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Barack Obama, Pew Poll

So, the latest Pew Poll indicates Barack Hussein Obama is the most polarizing President in four decades.
What a surprise! Who’da thought a guy with such a radical-left view would polarize Americans who are still — by and large — conservative in their beliefs?
The results of the Pew Poll make for interesting reading. You [...]

Just Another Day in the Washington Asylum

March 24th, 2009 · No Comments · AIG, Bailouts, Barack Obama, BonusGate, Chris Dodd, Constitution

Two credibility-stretching stories making headlines today.

A few points to ponder:
1. Obama and his reckless administration (which includes House members Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi and others) knew about the AIG bonuses long before they expressed phony indignation over them. Chris Dodd recently admitted he was behind the bonus wording in the bailout bill [...]

Tea Parties Grow in Number As Americans Protest Reckless Washington Spending

March 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Bailouts, Barack Obama, Economics, Money, Tea Party

There’s not much I can add to this YouTube video. The tide seems to be turning. The honeymoon is not only over, it appears the groom wishes to trade the bride for what’s behind door #2.

I Wish Obama Really Was Like Lincoln (even if Lincoln wasn’t like Lincoln, either)

March 4th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama, Economics

When the media isn’t portraying Obama as the next FDR — which he is — or the next Washington — which he most definitely is not — or the next Messiah — ditto — they often liken him to Abraham Lincoln.
However, I’m pretty sure Obama never read this quote from Lincoln. Because if he [...]

Rush Limbaugh’s CPAC Speech — Electrifying!

March 3rd, 2009 · 3 Comments · Barack Obama, Economics, Money, Politics, Rush Limbaugh

I make no bones about the fact that I love Rush Limbaugh. For my money, there isn’t a sharper mind in America.
Rush’s speech to the faithful at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is nothing less than astounding. When I listen to Rush, I am energized, electrified, and ready to take on the socialists in [...]

A Few Observations

February 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Barack Obama, Media Bias, Politics, Pork

1. The media bias during Obama’s first Congressional speech — before and after — was unprecedented in my lifetime. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal’s speech was great. Yet, the media tore him to shreds. Chris Matthew’s even uttered “Oh, God!” as Jindal walked on stage.

According to one report, this wasn’t the first time Matthews — supposedly [...]
