I’ve lived through Johnson, and Nixon, and Carter, and Clinton, and Bush.  I voted in the elections when each of these less than ideal men ascended to the presidency.
Enter Barack Obama.  Never in my adult life have I witnessed a presidency more amateur, more corrupt, more un-American.   There was a time when the poster boy [...]

President Obama says he will pivot toward creating jobs and away from healthcare reform.  Today he said creating jobs was the most important thing he can do.  Too bad he didn’t think of that a year ago when he started spending money to help everyone except the middle class.
He can’t expect anyone to believe he’s [...]

Look at the election of Scott Brown any way you want, it was a victory for those of us who oppose President Obama’s health care monstrosity.  It’s a victory, but how did it occur?
I’m not one for looking a gift horse in the mouth, especially when I need a ride.  At some point, though, I [...]

Paranoid personality disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis characterized by fear and a pervasive, long-standing suspiciousness and generalized mistrust of others.
Scott Brown wins in Massachusetts and I get paranoid.  The Democrats threw the election; they knew the healthcare fiasco would cost them the 2010 election, the house, the senate, their whole world.  They need a solution.
Enter [...]

It’s Election Day in Massachusetts, and much too early to know whether Brown will defeat Coakley; it’s not too early for the Democrat party to start the spin cycle.
Knowing there will be fallout if Coakley loses, we’re already hearing how this election doesn’t really mean what you think it means.  Robert Gibbs, President Obama’s press [...]

This country was founded on principles that required the Federal government to be weak and the states to be strong.  Remember, the states formed the Federal government, and allowed it to have some small part of their power.  The idea was to have a central government that would support our currency, act as the People’s [...]

Vic Snyder announced he’s retiring today.  Enjoy the elation, smile a lot, celebrate, get it out of your system; and then get back to work.
The Democrats will find anoter good old boy or old gal to run in his place, and whoever it is probably won’t have all the liberal progressive baggage Vic carries.  The [...]

A scorpion was at the edge of a fast-running stream and wanted to get to the other side.  Being a scorpion, it didn’t know how to swim, and so when a frog came along the scorpion asked the frog to carry him across the stream.
The frog said, “Why should I give you a lift?  You’re [...]

This form letter was received from Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln on December 24, 2009.  It’s a long read, especially with my replies in italic, indented. I urge you to read it.  I’d like to know your thoughts.
Dear Friend:
Thank you for contacting me regarding health care reform legislation in the United States Senate.
In November, I voted [...]

Congress will return to Washington from their winter vacation and start the conference committee for healthcare in a couple of weeks.  One of the major issues, according to Congress, is who to tax.  The fines for not having insurance are also becoming a big issue, but we’ll discuss them later.  Right now we’re talking taxes.
Many [...]
