In which philosophical form of government does Barack Obama believe? That has been one of the ongoing debates since he burst upon the national political scene a scant four years ago. Political observers noted he was the most liberal member of the United States Senate, and many believed he was a radical left-wing zealot if [...]

1. Politicians can save the economy… False. Politicians can and repeatedly do trash it but only private enterprise can provide the wealth generation needed to to save a sick economy and to keep one healthy. The last President who said that–and proved it in the recession of 1920-1921–was Republican Warren Harding. He held off his [...]

Palin Email Witch Hunt Backfires! OHH NOOO!!!
THE LEFT’S PATHETIC OBSESSION WITH SARAH PALIN IS HYSTERICAL
Pity the poor “mainstream” media – or the
Obama Media Group, as I like to call it. First it was Sarah Palin’s bus tour, and her in-your-face refusal to afford the indignant liberal press the respect they demand of her – as if they deserve it, given the way they have skewered her and her family, including her Down Syndrome son, Trig.
The Obama Media Group’s latest attempt at “gotcha” with Palin has blown up in their sniveling little faces as well. They just can’t seem to win with the imbecile from Wasilla anymore, can they? What are they to do?
This kind of treatment by Sarah Palin is more than the arrogant media can bear. What a terrible meanie she has become. Read the rest of this entry

It’s as if the party goes through a collective “logical” [...]
Sarah Palin and the Media: Who’s Laughing Now?

Gary Johnson tosses hat.
Former governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson has announced that he is running for president. He is a fiscal conservative and social moderate. He thinks that the money and resources spent on questionable wars would be better spentic domestically, he is for legalization of marijuana and amnesty for illegals. His fiscal responsibility seems sincere enough and that is what we really need. He ought to downplay the drug legalization and amnesty issues if he is going to be a contender. I do predict that he will do better than Ron Paul who I think will do better than he did last time around.

Palin is Running, and She’ll Get Creamed
It does appear that former governor and GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah “you betcha” Palin will be throwing her beauty pageant sash into the presidential ring. She has added veteran Republican strategist Michael Glassner to serve as chief-of-staff for her political action committee, Sarah PAC, and steer her political operation. For the political insiders this is the strongest indication yet that Sarah Palin is seriously laying the groundwork for a serious bid for the white house. Unfortunately, she is probably the most disastrous of the current crop of possible GOP hopefuls and in my humble opinion would stand absolutely no chance in the general election. I will even venture to say that I don’t think she’ll make it out of the primaries. She is mistaking the general support the Right gives her as a person of character and cheerleader Tea Party as political support for a presidential bid. I submit to you the two are not the same and she will find this out the hard way. And if by some miracle she were to get the nod to lead the Republican party into the next general election we will witness the most embarrassing of electoral trouncings since Mondale got crushed by Reagan.
I defend Palin vigorously from the hatred and smears from the Left and admire her commitment to what is right and true. For the most part I share her politics, values, and ideology. And I think she makes a great fundraiser and cheerleader for the Right in general and the Tea Party in particular. But she had her chance for glory and success on the national stage and frankly blew it. Unless surrounded by friendlies she bumbles, stumbles, and freezes up (see the infamous Katie Couric interview) and even at the famous Tea Party convention where she spoke she resorted to the poor man’s teleprompter (ink notes on her hand) and was incredibly ill at ease with even the most soft-ball of questions.
In this day and age, and hostile media environment, a conservative presidential contender must be articulate and intelligent, self-assured and nearly gaffe free, professional and as equally at ease with a hostile press lying in ambush as with a friendly audience. Sarah Palin, unfortunately, doesn’t possess those gifts. Her negatives are higher than Obamas and that’s with her doing very little other than creating a reality TV show, let alone running for the highest office in the land. This all adds up to her presidential support, even among fellow Republicans, being very soft and her true popularity residing only in a small segment of the electorate. Despite what we may wish, Barack Obama is still a personally popular president and makes a more formidable candidate than he does an actual president. This spells for potential disaster for the wrong opponent on the national stage in a general election and Palin should remain in her role as fundraiser and cheerleader, occasional kingmaker and rally speaker, but avoid the temptation to join the crowded GOP field vying for the POTUS.
From Politico:
Sarah Palin hires a chief of staff
Sarah Palin has hired a veteran operative to serve as a chief of staff to her loosely organized team, one of the biggest indicators yet that the former Alaska governor is leaning toward a run for the White House.
POLITICO confirmed late Friday night that Palin has hired Michael Glassner to serve the key role.
“We are excited that Mike has agreed to come on to help the team,” SarahPAC treasurer Tim Crawford said.Glassner will be tasked with bringing greater organization to the far-flung and small staff that resides in several different states and time zones.
Glassner, whose hiring was first reported by CNN, is a former aide to ex-Sen. Bob Dole and is familiar with Palin from his service on John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign.
One of the key hurdles most Republican operatives say Palin has to clear in order to seriously run for president is hire an experienced staff. Glassner is a step in that direction.
May 2008 – November 2008 (7 months)
Senior Vice President, External Affairs IDT Corporation Telecommunications industry
September 2009 – Present (1 year 6 months)
As a Republican and a conservative my goal is to select the most electable conservative to be the banner carrier for the Republican party and the conservative movement in the next presidential election. And in my humble opinion neither Mr. Glasser or anyone else can make Sarah Palin that person.
The Reality of Congress
Let’s put the spending issue into perspective. Say I am a conservative, thinking good fiscal sense is the right path. My congressman (woman) may well be of like mind. Let’s say I support a high-speed rail system running through my city. Sure, data shows it would improve the economy and, perhaps environmental concerns, in my area. Yet, my congressperson says to me, “hey, it’s a great idea, but we simply cannot afford it at this time; let’s leave it on the table for another time”…
In the meantime, other, Democrat-controlled regions put forth similar plans, regardless of finances…
At the end of the day, the fiscally-irresponsible areas HAVE the expensive programs, at the increased expense of neighboring taxpayers, and the responsible parties (those who chose to wait) suffer because their time may never come, simply because they must now pay for the “greed” of neighboring districts and their default…
So, with this in mind… let me ask you this… Why should anyone ever wait? Republicans and Democrats are simply in a race to get whatever they can WHEN they can!
As long as ANY party chooses to spend more than they have, NO party can possibly act responsibly and hope to serve its constituents honorably, can it?
Yep, he’s running for president
Watch Governor Tim Pawlenty’s message to the American people, to never give up faith in the power of the American spirit. You barely get one election behind you and another has begun. Personally I think the Confederacy got one thing right. The presidency should be limited to one, six-year term. I do not yet have a favorite among the potential GOP presidential candidates but it is going to be fun to watch the initial jockeying among what is sure to be a crowded initial field.
Voting for all?
First, I would just like to say how excited I am-this being my first post-and how much I can’t wait to see other people’s opinions.
When democracy first came about, presumably everyone was excited to get to vote for who was going to represent them. The citizens did their research-most anyway-and made informed decisions about who would be their next leader. Elections today, especially Presidential elections which the most amount of voters turn up for, turn out to be a Mr./Ms. Personality contest instead of who is best for the job. Granted, this is pretty obvious, but the most charismatic candidate almost always ends up getting chosen (it’s like high school Prom King/Queen all over again. wonderful…)

Vote Republican for the Very First Time
Hey liberals, do you really care about minorities? If so, then why not support those who have recently won (and now more importantly are seeking) leadership positions?
And to minorities (Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc), do you honestly think the Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton types truly care whether you succeed or not?
Get real. Dependency is their game, largely because they make money off of it. Money from those they dupe.
And now back to the video. Wow. Star Parker? I didn’t know she was running for office! I’d vote for her in a nanosecond.
(Only criticism I have of the vid. is that Allen West’s name was misspelled. I’ll allow that small mistake.)
So, how about that election in Alaska?
I have been laying low, so to speak. Watching the election and mainly busy with life. But no one can tell me that the Senate Race here in Alaska has not been interesting. I have seen on blogs all over the internet, watching people talk about how people hate Alaska now just for this one election, but always praise Sarah Palin when it comes to anything. Umm…. where is Sarah from again?

Republicans Kind of Suck … Which Is Why They Will Win Huge in November
Republicans Kind of Suck … Which Is Why They Will Win Huge in November
Priceless, and now you know why. A great find on instapundit today that was well worth sharing. The style kind of reminds me of our own THB.
So the Democrats sucked. But not just plain old, usual politician sucked, but epic levels of suck where it’s hard to find an analogue in human history that conveys the same level of suckitude. It was sheer incompetence plus arrogance — and those things do not complement each other well. We’re talking sucking that distorts time and space like a black hole.
It’s Godzilla-smashing-through-a-city level of suck — but a really patronizing Godzilla who says you’re just too stupid and hateful to see all the buildings he’s saved or created as he smashes everything apart. Or, to use Obama’s favorite analogy, you have a car stuck in ditch, so you call the mechanic, but the only tool he brings with him is a sledgehammer. And then he smashes your car to pieces and charges you $100,000 for his service. Finally, he calls you racist for complaining. Obama and the Democrats have been so awful, it’s hard for the human brain to even comprehend.
But the Democrats will counter that the Republicans also suck. And while this is true, it’s not really going to help them. As I pointed out before, both a dog incessantly barking and a zombie apocalypse are things that everyone would agree suck. Yet no one during a zombie apocalypse, while hiding out in a boarded up mall, would turn to the other survivors and say, “We don’t want to kill all the zombies; then we’d have to go back to being woken up at night by that annoying dog next door.” But this is the best argument the Democrats can come up with. “Remember how awful the Republicans and Bush were? You hated them. You don’t want to go back to that.” Yes, why would people want to go back to when 6% unemployment was considered high?
A clear winner, er favorite, er candidate has emerged…
After a long time away, I too am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel – the difference this time is that I have hope that it is not the train.
Reading up on the latest events I came across this incredibly fair and balanced approach to the recent debate between Christine O’Donnell and the other guy. Is it just me, or does Christine O’Donnell sound like she’s about to cry every time she says something… Is there anything better than stating facts and slamming an opponent all while sounding like you are about to break down?
Check out the story that intrigued me after the jump…
Breitbart Forces Obama’s Protesters To Fold Up Shop
Andrew Breitbart has brass ones to go out and confront that crowd alone. He’s a godsend and a true patriot.
On Saturday, September 18th, Glenn Beck and Andrew Breitbart headlined an event entitled “Right Nation 2010,” held just outside of Chicago, Illinois.
As you will see in our video report from the scene, when Andrew Breitbart arrived at the Sears Centre, he was met with an angry mob of protesters who were calling for an ‘end to hate’ while also hurling expletives and homophobic slurs toward the targets of their enmity.
In the following dramatic video, Breitbart brings the protest to a complete halt by cleverly asking sign holders to do the impossible: explain the placards they were carrying. In the end, the frustrated organizers abruptly end their protest and leave.
Read the whole thing, and watch all the videos.
…Is anyone else beginning to see a pattern developing here?
It’s getting more and more obvious every single day.
Mo’s Quote of the Day
Well, here’s a quote I read just last night, and it perfectly states why a patriot like me who loves his country and wants to do good cannot run for office and win in modern America:
The media’s interest on candidate’s private lives has already had at least one bad effect on society. A powerful alliance of the media and left-wing feminists and the religious right has ensured that fewer quality people will run for political office. Few great individuals are willing to have their lives dissected in ways that virtually guarantee undeserved personal and family suffering. A person’s desire for political office has to overwhelm a desire to protect one’s own and one’s family’s privacy, and such an individual is precisely not the type of person we want most to lead us.
~Dennis Prager, “Think A Second Time” p.1995
We’ve evolved a system that ensures the worst possible people–those who are smart, clever, devious, dishonest, and hungry for power will always rise to the top levels of government. That’s what’s got to change, or we’ve got to get used to being their slaves. Or at least their ATMs.
