What I want to know is if Iranian is using DNC talking points or the DNC is using Iranian talking points.. Hm..

There are a lot of choice quotes following Palin’s speech but I think this one says it all.
John Roberts, “…I hope we’ll be talking to you a lot more in the course of the next 60 days and looking forward to that debate on October 2nd.”
Sen Joe Biden, “Well, I’m not sure I […]

Reputable news-people and sources have questioned or commented on Palin leaving a family in need and running for Vice President. Never once had I seen them bring up the fact that both Barack AND Michelle Obama have been working full-time jobs while raising two young girls. Both have been active on the campaign trail. They […]

I absolutely love it when what is meant to be a hit piece totally backfires.

The top 10 things you should know about Sarah Palin:
1) She is presently under investigation in Alaska for abuse of power
2) She is opposed […]

I keep contemplating pulling 3rd party if McCain chooses a centrist or liberal for his VP choice. After all, we MAY have to have this person as Prez anywhere from immediately after winning thru 16 year down the road if they’re elected Prez after McCain’s 8 years.
So while I’m not crazy about the […]

I find this quote from James Madison quite relevant considering the political machinations currently underway for what many fallaciously call “Decision 2008″
“We have heard of the impious doctrine in the old world, that the people were made for kings, not kings for the people. Is the same doctrine to be revived in the new, in […]

This pretty much speaks for itself….

Recession? Its on hold thanks to exports which are a bargain at the current exchange rates. We want more US manufacturing so if we can hang on long enough for the dollar to stabilize (or better, gain a bit) this is a golden opportunity.
But it has a cost which is born largely […]

It is sad, though not necessarily unexpected, to read that one of the great Conservative icons of my time suffers from dementia.
Unfortunately, if Reagan was any indicator, Maggy’s detractors will start piling on now - accusing her of suffering from this sad condition while she held the office of PM. Or worse…
The last […]

To steal a line, Obama’s HOPE is that the press doesn’t out that his CHANGE is to hard line socialism and the confirmation came with the naming of Biden as his running mate. If ever there was a member of the party that represents the left edge of the party Biden is it. Even […]

And while we’re on the subject… so you believe Bush hate the environment, hates renewable energy - Gore is the Eco-Messiah and that we “must act NOW!”.. If this is in your head you’ve been duped, probably willfully. But if you’re ready to open your mind a bit check out the tale of two […]

After recent sensationalized reports that something like half of US corporations pay no taxes RealClearMarkets sets the record straight.

If you’re following the drill here, drill now debate you’re likely heard of those 68 million acres of leases “Big Oil” has that are “non-producing” and how those evil Republicans blocked a Democrat bill that would have forced the oil companies to produce or give up the leases.
These acres are being used specifically […]

Considering Democrats almost total animosity toward God, the Christian faith and especially the name Jesus Christ….
Obama was introduced at the dinner by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who called him ‘‘a leader God has blessed us with at this time.’’
.. whom is she referring to as the ‘god’ that sent them Obama?
They believe the complete […]

The last 100 people I’d expect to encourage lawmakers to lower the drinking age from 21 to 18 would the the top 100 college presidents. Considering drinking causes more visible problems on campuses than almost anywhere the request seems illogical.
First let me say I’m not necessarily in agreement on lowering it. BUT… I understand their […]

I’m not going out for the dire predictions of the global warming crowd any more or less than the global cooling crowd (though NASA and NOLA acknowledge we’re in a cooling trend since 1998) but articles such as this one out of Mexico on the coming mini ice age certainly shows there is a lack […]

Given their unprecedented low approval ratings, ratings that should make Nancy Pelosi envious of George Bush’s approval rating… you’d think the Congress would knuckle down and get to work. But are they? No, they’re earning their low approval rating as well as the contempt of the American people as they pass meaningless resolutions and ignore […]

Something to make you scratch your head… An American Expat in Southeast Asia: Obama and the Inconvenient Truth

Rasmussen reports a majority believe so…

It appears a Maine redneck threatened Obama and Bush but the headline on Drudge only mentioned Obama. Worse, the agent who arrested this blue state redneck thinks Black Talon ammunition is “armor piercing” then the document goes on to state that it is “legal” to posses “armor piercing” pistol ammunition as well as all the […]

Oh now this is funny…

So now the Democrats think that one senate term of experience is equal to running the largest state in the union for 8 years and that is “inexperienced”. That 8 years in the Cavalry is “inexperienced”. That 7 years at the head of a large union (Screen Actors Guild) […]

In case you’ve not heard, as I’m sure few have at this point, the House Dems turn out the lights but GOP keeps talking about energy. The Democrats have even gone so far as to try to have Capital police keep reporters away from the Republicans who continue talking about domestic drilling and slamming the […]

The author of Nothing for the Nation - Who Got What Out of Iraq is none other than my own former congressman, John Hostettler, who was turned out of office in 2006. He like a few other staunch big “C” Hoosier Conservatives were turned out that year with little support from the national party for […]

I have to at least partially agree with Gramm in saying the economic slowdown ‘mental’ but rising fuel costs are not, they’re a fact. How we GOT to that point, that’s absolutely ‘mental’…

Talk to the State Department which is filled with nambies. I know, this isn’t news. The State Department is a quasi-autonomous department that just keeps going its own way irregardless of who or which party is in the White House, Congress or the Senate. Given such unaccountable power I have to ask who is […]
