Whew! That was close.After all these years of fostering the impossible dream that we could one day, have a black president - and a 'close-but-no-cigar' false start (remember Bill Clinton bragging that he was the first black president?), so many Americans voted for Obama under the delusional belief that he was black . . . or even, partially black - that the impossible dream came true. He promised

Every time I go to the gas station to fill up, I say to myself, “Are We Stupid, or What”? Why should we be paying $4.00 or more for gas that is mostly bought from foreign countries, some of whom don't like us very much, but definitely like our money. And we like dopes, give them our money by purchasing their oil. “Are We Stupid, or What?It is estimated that we have enough energy (oil, gas, coal

Who Wages War Against the Middle Class?

2011-06-23T06:43:00.000-07:00

The liberals are crying out and demanding that the state governors and state legislatures stop the “war on the middle class”. “Me thinks they protest too much” (a paraphrase of a Shakespeare phrase). The chant about stopping the “war” is mainly put forth by government unions who are “sucking on the teat” of the taxpayers on both the federal and state levels. I would presume that 75% to 80% of the

Shovel Ready, My Ass!

Pardon my French, but I can't help telling it like it is. When the Messiah (Obama) sold us on a $800 billion “Stimulus” bill stating that he would put the country back to work with “shovel ready” jobs, he conned us big time. In fact, he put his trusted Vice-President in charge, Joe Biden. That should've been the tip off that all would not go well, and it hasn't.He stated that he was going to use

I Don't Like his White Half Side Either!

The biggest canard put forth by liberals against the critics of President Barack Hussein Obama, is that the critics are against him because he is black, therefore they are racist. Well, I for one, couldn't care less whether he is half-black, I don't like his half-white side either.When the defenders of the president can't justify the ruinous policies of their leader, they revert back to the

The media frenzy over getting a look at Sarah Palin's e-mails while she was governor of Alaska, shows the bias and proves that there is a double-standard in the main street media against conservatives in general, and especially against women conservatives in particular.Where was this thirst for information during the 2008 campaign, and today, about Barack Hussein Obama?

Hi there. Just checking in on the lower and middle class, to see how you’re holding up. President Obama is for the people, the common folks, the downtrodden, the disadvantaged. So, how’s the hope and change going? Still out of work, huh. That’s a shame. Your neighbors say they don’t have a job either and have few prospects for getting one? President Obama hasn’t really come up with an idea to

I grew up during an age when music was melodic and when people were able to relate to the songs and were able to dance with one another. The musical artists during this time included such luminaries as Fats Domino, Elvis Presley, Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennett, Dion, Neil Diamond and Neil Sedaka to name just a few. That kind of music lasted up until the early 90's and then it all seemed to

Unemployment Rate and Obama

Conservative Thought Of The WeekDuring a campaign stop in Ohio in 2008, then candidate Obama blamed President Bush for the “high” unemployment rate the country faced. In 2008, according to BLS figures, the unemployment rate was 5.8%. Obama said:Only someone as out of touch as my opponent could say that ‘the fundamentals of the economy are strong’ at a time when so many families are struggling.

I don't believe that Sarah Palin will run for the presidential nomination of the Republican Party in 2012, but if she does she will not win the nomination. That's not a knock on her or her ability, as a politician, or her ability to attract supporters – that is an educated guess, on my part, as I don't think she'll want to face the the George Soros, liberal-left smear machine that is just waiting

That Congressmen and Senators should be under some form of “term limits” so that some elected officials can't make a career out of holding public office. According to our founding fathers, our Congressmen and Senators were supposed to be temporary officeholders, not career politicians that held office for 30 or 40 years.

To listen to some of the talking heads on radio and T.V. and some members of the main street media, it is a foregone conclusion that Barack Hussein Obama will win re-election in 2012. Is that conclusion based on fact or is it just wishful thinking? I think it is the latter.In 2007 and 2008, in the run up to the 2008 election, Obama, with his huge election war chest and the slick phrase of “Hope

For sure, something is terribly wrong with the mainstream media, and an avaricious electorate, who choose to close their eyes, turn a deaf ear, and blindly support the Obama administrations new campaign mantra "Better Stuff" he has in store for this nation that probably would continue to lead us down an arranged path of subversive controlled governance causing us to lose our identity as the Land

He hears but he doesn't adapt to what he hears or to change his ways.Since his “idol worshipers” have proclaimed him a “genius”, he must know that his policies, or lack thereof, are not sitting well with the American people.

Many astute observers have said that Obama is not his own man, but is being manipulated and orchestrated by people around him, namely his friends and boosters from the City of Chicago. They say he is, “The Manchurian President”.

When used to color things feminine, Pink can be delightful and delicious, emblematic or exotic, romantic or raucous, pretty and powerful, focused or infinite - and on and on. When used to represent groups such as
