What do you think the odds are that this new bureaucracy will go after the one area of the world which really does abuse women and deny them their rights? Why is it that the feminazis never have anything to say about the situation of women in Muslim countries?
Are their no sane heads inside the Beltway any more? The Democrats have clearly lost it and gone totally off the deep end, but where are the voices of the Republicans? I should be able to hear it all the way here in Washington state.

I'm with you Pete. If our dipstick representative goes along with those slimy tricks, I am going to do all in my power to see that he is replaced.

Being honest with one another and unafraid to say what we think is a fragile step, but an essential one as well.

I think much of the problem stems from Aristotle's Law of the Excluded Mean, from which we get the idea that if two people disagree, then one of them must be wrong.

But there's another law: If two people agree on everything, then one of them is unnecessary.

We seem these days to be confusing "disagreement" with "suppression". Simply stating our own opinion in opposition to someone else's is not the same as suppressing their opinion. It's only suppression if we act to prevent them from being heard.

Those on the left frequently cry that their views are being suppressed, when those of us on the...

Presidential Denial

spinning, spinning, spinning away blame for the catastrophe (for his side) in Massachusetts, I found myself thinking about how Robert E. Lee behaved after the Confederate defeat at Gettysburg. He took responsibility for the loss on himself, walked among his dispirited, battle-weary soldiers and told them "This is all my fault!"

General Lee was a man of character. President Obama is not.

Thank you for giving us that letter from Harold Estes. It is clear, concise and right on target. He speaks for me.

you can force people to do certain things, but you can't force them to want to do those things. A healthy, thriving economy depends on people who want to do what they do.

as usual. Is my memory correct that Marxists in Russia purposely set out to destroy family structure there because they correctly saw it as the main impediment to their quest for power? Is this any different from what the Democrat Party is attempting to accomplish here in the U.S.?
Obamius!

Many of Obama's supporters and advisers are graduates of the Summer of Love and still cling to fuzzy, naive, simplistic hopes for a world-wide utopia full of “harmony and understanding.” As in the 70’s, they serve as useful idiots for the hard line Marxist/Communists who have infiltrated their midst and co-opted their movement.

Remember the lyrics?

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars,
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars!
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding,
Sympathy and trust abounding!
No more falsehoods or derisions,
Golden living dreams of...

Young Hamlet's Agony

was originally nothing more than a ploy to bash Bush.

Now the young Hamlet has a problem, and it has become this Messiah's particular cross to bear. Can anyone say, "hoist with his own petard?"

Ironic, isn't it, that the phrase comes from Hamlet (Act III, Scene 4)?
