Alexander Haig Dies at 85

February 20, 2010

Former Secretary of State Alexander Haig has died from complications resulting from an infection at the age of 85. A distinguished Korean and Vietnam War vet, NATO Commander, and four-star general, Haig served under President Nixon and Ford as White House Chief of Staff from 1973-1974, and most famously as the State Secretary under President [...]

Obama’s Speech on Afghanistan

December 1, 2009

Here’s what I took from the President’s speech tonight on the future of the War in Afghanistan:
“The common security of the world is at stake” says the President, but we’re getting out in 18 months because it’s a rather pricey endeavor. OK, Taliban and al Qaeda types, just wait until July 2011 and start your [...]

Jimmy Carter Joins the “Racist” Chorus

September 16, 2009

Jimmy Carter is a bitter old coot and much of what he says either makes most people roll their eyes or remind them bitterly of those dark years before Reagan. However, sensing a kindred mess in Obama and feeling very comfortable with the Obamabots at NBC, Carter plays the race card as blatant as one can:

A [...]

9.7%

September 5, 2009

The August unemployment numbers came out Friday indicating that the USA is still hovering at a European 9.7% unemployment rate. That’s the highest it’s been since 1983 and doesn’t include the people who’ve stopped looking for jobs or break it down into which segments of the population are being hit harder than others.
The difference between [...]

To Obama: Is this 2009 or 1985?

July 7, 2009

A missile reduction treaty with the Soviet Union Russia? With Iran on the verge of getting nukes, Eastern Europe fearing a return of Russian Imperialism and looking to America for support, with North Korea ready to ignite the planet, with heightened violence in Afghanistan, we’re reducing missiles with the Russians? Huh? Did I just step out of [...]

Obama as “God”

June 14, 2009

Last week Newsweek’s Evan Thomas went on “Hardball” and told the thrilled Chris Matthews that unlike Reagan who spoke for America, Obama transcends nation and people as a god-like figure:

Well, if you take religion and religious ethics out of our institutions, out of mainstream “hip” society, and attempt to force religion into accepting secular values by viewing religious [...]

Blame Reagan? Not So Fast!

June 9, 2009

Nope, I’m not surprised. New York Slimes lackey Paul Krugman blamed Ronald Reagan for the deregulation that led to the current economic crisis last week. Obviously, that’s ridiculous and others have chimed in to refute that claim.
I hear that same kind of argument every three seconds from Kool-Aid drinking Democrats out here in Jersey — all [...]

Criminalizing Politics is a Dangerous Idea

April 21, 2009

We are traveling down a very dangerous road. President Obama has indicated that actions taken during a time of grave crisis in our nation’s history are up for selective legal prosecution. The dangerous precedent would be this — criminalizing the decisions of one administration once another party assumes control.
Think of our history to this point: Jefferson did not [...]

Day One, Year Zero: Inaugurating Barack Obama

January 20, 2009

Here’s my take on today’s speech:
Shortly after Noon EST, Barack Hussein Obama took a public oath to become America’s 44th President.
The pomp was extravagant ($170 million worth during the “greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression”, $49 million of that directly from our pockets) and still continues as I write this. The Oath itself was [...]

SCOTUS: Child Rapists are Protected from the Death Penalty

June 25, 2008

The Supreme Court is getting out of control and the libs on the Court are certainly not making many friends lately. What’s next I wonder?
In the wake of pronouncing that al Qaeda has more rights than Nazis did, and with 42 states having passed anti-Kelo laws, the Supreme Court voted 5-4 that the death penalty is off-limits for [...]

McCain and the Republican Party Brand

May 21, 2008

I just read this Politico piece by John Feehery on the Republican Party’s relationship with McCain. His take is that Bush stalwarts like Hastert, Lott, and Delay are no longer on the scene and McCain, ever the frustrating maverick, is now the presumptive GOP nominee. Hence, the maverick becomes the savior in lieu of the Republican’s crushing Congressional [...]

Reagan Wisdom for Super Tuesday

February 4, 2008

As many of us go to the polls this Tuesday (myself included) to vote for the GOP Presidential Nomination, I want to present two quotes from Ronald Reagan from the 1970s that ring very true today, courtesy of Rush Limbaugh.
I’m impatient with those Republicans who — after the last election — rushed into print saying [...]
