Sarah Palin’s Defiance

March 18th, 2013
When Sarah Palin was the governor of the State of Alaska, before she was asked to be McCain's running mate, she was among the most popular governors in the country.  Her style, and adherence to strict conservative principles, were among the reasons I predicted she would be the Vice Presidential candidate in the 2008 Election. During those early days of the campaign, when eight or ten candidates remained in the race, there were others that pushed for Sarah Palin to be chosen as the candidate Read more [...]

Dealing with Obamacare

October 14th, 2012
"There are going to be consequences," was the response by a Washington D.C. law employment attorney when asked about how the federal government will deal with businesses that do what they can to avoid the insurance mandate in Obamacare set to take effect in 2014.  Businesses are saying that there likely will be cut hours, and layoffs. The Democrats believe the world is static, and so whenever they push their big government programs, they assume society will just comply. If the populace refuses Read more [...]

Smoke and Mirrors Unemployment Number Drops Below 8%

October 6th, 2012
My wife reported to me tonight about how a co-worker of hers was raving about Barack Obama, and proclaimed that news the unemployment rate dropped from 8.1% to 7.8% is proof that the President's policies are working. For simple minds like the squirming brain of that Obama supporter, the Democrats accomplished exactly what they were aiming for. "The Force can have a strong influence on the weak minded." The unemployment rate is being manipulated, and is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Read more [...]

Liberal Democrats 2012 Campaign of Fraud and Personal Destruction

October 1st, 2012
My friend came to me and said, "I'm a Democrat, now." Excuse me? Was Albert defecting to the other side? Had he gone against a lifetime of Republican voting, save for his one foray into the third party idiocy when he voted for Perot? "I began receiving Democrat Party mailers, and nothing from the Republican Party. I didn't understand what was going on. I am a registered Republican. Or at least I have been since I could first vote. Suddenly, I am receiving stuff from the Democrats, so I check Read more [...]

Mortgage Meltdown – The Sequel

August 2nd, 2012
The mortgage meltdown that put us in our current economic difficulties (recession, depression, collapse) has been blamed on George W. Bush. Somehow, the Republican President had the ability to force people to take bad loans, force banks to act stupidly, disallowed regulations against Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (even though republicans were calling for such during his first term), and with his magic want popped the housing bubble. In reality, like Obama's policies which are extending the economic Read more [...]

Is Health Care Free, Yet?

July 8th, 2012
When the Supreme Court ruling regarding the Affordable Health Care Act came down the pike, uninformed voters asked, "Does that mean my health care is free, now?" The response was an emotional one, often - which is exactly the kind of response the liberal left hoped for. The "Is Health Care Free, Yet?" people believe that Obama is just handing out government freebies, which will allow them to just walk into any medical office, get the care they desire, and not have to worry about a penny. Read more [...]

Those numbers will need Read more [...]

Deeper Than Immigration, State Sovereignty Is At Risk

June 28th, 2012
By Douglas V. Gibbs This morning, not exactly anticipating my turn to be needled at the doctor's office, I was reading the literary selections in the waiting pen.  Like most lobbies presented by health professionals, the material was either about fitness, health, or a couple samples of the liberal news media. Sometimes, sports magazines are available too. Those are the medical corrals I like most. Time Magazine caught my attention, so I opened it up. Newt Gingrich graced the February 6, 2012, Read more [...]

A Good and Moral Country, Anchor Babies, And Emotions

June 24th, 2012
Emotions have their place. I have my sensitivities. As a good and moral country, we are very emotional about doing the right thing, and that is good when those emotions accompany rational thinking, and reasonable policies that remain within the realm of common sense, and the law. Last Thursday Night I made members of my Constitution Class angry when I tried to prove a point on how easily one can allow emotions to cloud one's judgment. After discussing the Ninth Amendment, which indicates that Read more [...]

King Obama Heckled By Disrespectful Reporter Regarding Unilateral Amnesty

June 19th, 2012
The liberal left democrats don't think people notice their double standards. Obama bypassed Congress, acted against federal law, and ignored the Constitution, when he decided last Friday to announce that he (we assume through yet another misuse of an executive order) will stop deporting illegal aliens that are students and young adults that were brought here by no fault of their own.  In the past Obama has said he can't do such a thing without Congress, yet now he has changed his mind and thinks Read more [...]
