Prudence Takes A Beating

     At the risk of tooting my own horn, I’d like to point out that a prediction I made in my last post has already come true. Writing just two days ago, November 24, 2008, I prognosticated that President Obama would defend failed economic policies — specifically these bailout plans that grow larger and more [...]

Perfectly Positioned

     I’ve been surprised by the recent spate of articles bemoaning President-elect Obama’s predicament. He is facing, we are told, a vast array of very serious problems, several of which may defy solution. Heading the list of predicaments begging for the soon-to-be President’s attention is, of course, the financial crisis and related economic slowdown. Though the [...]

How Obama Got Elected

Do yourself a favor and spend 10 minutes watching the results of one-sided media.

     Republicans are mistaken in the belief that biased reporting propelled Barack Obama to victory last November 4th. At least four Republican Party blunders sealed John McCain’s fate early on. First, Republicans badly mismanaged their opportunity to control Congress, a run lasting [...]

The Audacity of Broken Promises

I’ve borrowed this blog’s title and the text below from Dick Morris. The former Clinton toe-sucking eccentric makes some obvious points about a potentially terrible Obama appointment. Considering the number of Clinton-era subordinates being considered, or already hired, for cabinet or White House positions, Obama’s promise of “change” is beginning to ring a little hollow, unless we [...]

Redistribution By Any Other Name

     Wealth redistribution has been practiced in America for 75 years. Beginning with Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and greatly expanded by Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society, the federal government and state governments have transferred more than $7 trillion, money taken from some Americans and doled out to others in patterns as ill-conceived as they are haphazard. The results of [...]

Global Warming Advocates Caught Cold

 
The following is from the British Telegraph.co.uk, written by Christopher Booker and published November 16, 2008:
     “A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore’s chief [...]

Bailout Blues

     Question: What do AIG, California and New York State, Philadelphia and Atlanta and New York City and Phoenix, Ford and Chrysler and General Motors, American Express and goodness knows how many other companies and governments have in common?
     Answer: They believe in the famous aphorism, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” Or in this case, “There’s a new [...]

Obama As Savior

From Obama’s victory speech: “The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you — we as a people will get there.” [...]

Voting Early and Often

In the aftermath of the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections Democrats repeatedly screamed “voter fraud” to explain their candidate’s defeat. The Coleman/Franken Senate race in Minnesota is showing signs of the real thing as the indubitable masters of voter fraud try to pad their Senate advantage.

Jim Myers of NewsMax.com comments on the goings on in Minnesota:
     “Democrats won the [...]

Rule By Executive Order

Interviewed by Tom Brokaw on NBC’s Meet the Press, President-elect Obama spokesperson Valerie Jarrett affirms that Barack Obama is “ready to take power and rule from day one.” Let’s hope she just misspoke…

     Because problems facing America are so severe, Barack Obama is already planning sweeping changes on important issues, all to be accomplished quickly [...]
