Oh Blanche, There You Go Again
September 2nd, 2010 by Jack in Local 1 Comment

I hate when I have to write one of these snarky replies to Blanche Lincoln’s newsletters, but when my BS meter goes off the scale, it’s either reply or bite my tongue.  As my tongue is still bleeding from her last newsletter, a reply is in order.
Dear Fellow Arkansan,
My top priority for Arkansas is creating [...]

Starship Troopers
August 18th, 2010 by Jack in Local 1 Comment

Forget the deadly insects from space; we have enough of them in Washington.  And if you believe they aren’t deadly, look at our national debt.  The Washington insects will kill this country as sure as the bugs wasted Rio.
Heinlein’s book had a premise – that we have a world government and two classes of people; [...]

Libido Dominandi Part 1
July 4th, 2010 by Jack in Local 4 Comments

Libido Dominandi – literally translated from Latin means the lust to dominate, or the lust for power.  This is a good general description of what drives many politicians, and is certainly apt in describing the Conway City Council’s latest project.
The latest ill-conceived project will require that the city use an Arkansas law that may have [...]

Conspiracy Theory
June 19th, 2010 by Jack in Veritas 1 Comment

I don’t trust Barack Obama.  I believe he dislikes the United States of America, and that he’s working as hard as he can to destroy the country I love.  His actions, policies, and speeches reinforce my viewpoint.  As Glenn Beck often says, I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.  If any readers care [...]

First of all, there’s no such thing as “settled science”.  If you doubt that science is continuously making new discoveries that modify or throw out previous truths you should stop reading right now.  Rather than waste your time, you can get some sun (which rotates around the earth in your world) or take a trip; [...]

Tax Reform
May 22nd, 2010 by Jack in Constitution, Local No Comments

In a previous article we discussed making the federal government more honest, smaller, and more fiscally responsible. That was the first part of what we thought would be a two-part article.  We were wrong on that.  This is the second article, and there will be more.  Reversing the Progressive downhill slide our country has taken [...]

So here’s the deal – the health care bill(s) of 2009 were nothing more than a trough at which the pigs in Congress fed.  You need look no further than Joe Lieberman, Mary Landrieu, Ben Nelson, and Arkansas’ own Blanche Lincoln to see what happened when Harry Reid put the right slop in the trough.  [...]

Remember in the last installment we were talking about how Woodrow Wilson and Barack Obama are two versions of the same poison.  It’s not exaggerating to define these two as poison if you believe the Constitution is the foundation on which this country is built.
You don’t remove or change the foundation of a house casually; [...]

Paranoid
January 21st, 2010 by Jack in Local, Veritas No Comments

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 [...]

Vicless
January 16th, 2010 by Jack in Local No Comments

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 [...]
