Democrats have chided republicans for decades because republicans tout "family values". This weekend SC conservatives in a fit of anger against the media voted for a serial family cheater. It isn't our duty to forgive this man for his many transgression, and no person is without sin, but this man like Bill Clinton has a track record of putting himself first above those he supposedly loved. Obama and Newt are two sides of a penny. They both have huge egos, believing they are way smarter than anybody else, and they know how to con. We don't need a debater, or a historian, we need a number cruncher. We need to elect the guy that has the best record with numbers. It is all about the math people.

Listening to a Liar: Part II

For years the left has said that Bush lied about Iraq. I think the best argument would be that he embellished certain facts to adhere to his beliefs. So he wanted to be aggressive about Iraq and the WMDS used previously on the Kurds helped to solidify his beliefs.

Obama equally is a president distorting the facts to fit his agenda. So he is leaning way to the left believing the government knows all and thus can solve all believing that the private sector is evil and needs policing. Funny though, government doesn't need policing from his POV.

O'reilly had George Stephanopolos on tonight and really George could not make the case that Obama knew what in the world he was talking about. George agreed that cutting out...

Inflation and Deficits

I always laugh at this number.

For about 1 year I was responsible for purchasing food for a restaurant. I kept a close track on the price of hundreds of products. During that year prices most items rose about 35 percent. Some doubled and some remained fairly consistent. Meanwhile our electric rates went up about 35 percent as well. Our banking charges regarding cc use doubled. However, the "experts" insist that inflation was under control.

The reporting of inflation is yet another scam like the reporting of true unemployment. I wonder if those that compile the numbers just laugh themselves silly thinking how utterly stupid the public is and how easy it is to change the rules with mumbo jumbo talk. If they say...

Our Tragedy of the Commons

You hit the nail on the head. This perhaps is one of the best, if not the best article, ever written on this site. It cuts to the chase and is easily understood. This why I have said over and over that are best years are behind us. I have been mourning that reality for the past couple years. The social engineering the expense of this nation is tragic to see. I was heartened the other day when I heard a political pundit admit that those that no longer pay federal taxes, but do in fact receive an earned income credit, have ceased to have skin in the game. The threat that taxes might go up doesn't pertain to them anymore. They have ceased having ownership. That count is now up to 43 percent of our working force. They will always...
The best way to figure out what is offensive is to just walk in the shoes of your adversary. Would Obama want his children to pledge their support and to write extensively as a school project for Sarah Palin? See...I don't think so. No more than followers of Sarah Palin will want to support this president. The president has become a very polarizing political figure which sadly he brought on himself due to his many "freshman" blunders. Equally I blame voters. Obama is on record for years that he supports a single pay system. Everybody knew that he sat in a pew for 20 years listening to hate. Everybody knew he had terrorists acquaintances. So then why are we surprised with many of his Czar picks and key positions. He is a...
It is fine for private corporations to offer this valuable insight about what legislative policies would do to business if enacted. I mean as it is the WH operates in a bubble and they have little first hand experience understanding how to run a profitable business. It is sort of like the academic world. Lots of theories and "should be's" but reality is often very different. I don't like the idea of any private business snuggling up the the WH. I think GE is a good example and will profit handsomely if our country passes this Cap and Tax bill. It should be transparent who will profit and why. Those profiting need to recuse themselves because their voice is biased. Once a relationship begins to stink like we saw with Halliburton,...

Stimulating Incumbency

One thing is for sure about the Obama administration. Everything is calculated to keep him and his buddies in office. It is illogical to press irrationally that a stimulus bill, no matter the contents, must be passed ASAP because to do otherwise was to watch the unemployment grow. However looking at the 2009 projected outlays job creation was never the intended objective. First Obama underscores the fact that spending quickly might mean spending recklessly. So the unemployed climbs while Washington is being careful of creating those jobs. Sure....Now it is that only a small portion has been spent and so it can't be their fault that few jobs have been created. Why was it scheduled to spend so little in 2009? Now Obama says he...

Being Bill Clinton

I think it was Peter Baker that recently wrote that Clinton has pretty much not been asked any opinions from this WH. I really can't imagine Obama allowing his ego to be set aside long enough to maybe get another opinion that might be hard to hear. Maybe that is the problem with all presidents is that nobody has the guts to speak up and challenge the president. A former president might be able to do that however with nothing to lose.

Carter resurrected his bumbling presidency by getting involved with Habitat. He wrote some very good books as well. When he has chosen to put his lefty views into the fray, he comes out stinking. He should know better, but again his ego is huge.

Clinton has had to be very careful...
I have lived all over this country and it is true things roll at a different speed in each region. The north teaches about the Revolutionary War, while the south teaches about the Civil War.

The north is full of rude elitists that think they know about everything. I should know I was born in NJ. Once a Jersey girl always a Jersey girl. They all hide their racial bias more carefully.

The south is full of polite, happy people intent on convincing newcomers to join their church. There is a church or two on every corner. For the most part southerns would help anybody including those living on the other side of town. I am not so sure the north would be so benevolent unless there is something in it for them. The south...

I'm Moving to Fox

I remember when John Stossel became a tv name. I always thought he was a pretty strong liberal guy and frankly that turned me off. However I always found his show interesting and so I just kept watching. Over the years I realized he was in fact a libertarian which I never realize is more who I am. I realized the past year that those on the left really hated John for his passionate stories that always wove in how dangerous big government really is. I sensed his liberal friends had thrown him under the bus, and now I know I am right.

John, I will think about requests for program help. I wish you all the success possible because sir, you are a good man. We need many more Americans just like you.
