The Speech President Obama Should Give on the War (Part 2 of 3 in speech series)
My fellow Americans, nearly a decade ago America bore witness to the deadliest attack since Pearl Harbor. Planes high-jacked by jihadists flew into the twin towers and Pentagon. Another was headed for the White House, but crashed into a Pennsylvania field due to the heroic efforts of a group of passengers who had realized their plane had been turned into a weapon of the enemy. Following the attacks, we recognized that we were now at war with an enemy that had been at war with us for the past 20 years.
Before I address the war further, I must first state unequivocally: The United Military has, and continues to be the finest fighting force in the history of the world. I am ... more
The Speech President Obama Should Give on the Economy
My fellow Americans, I come to you tonight with reflections of where we've been, where we are and where we will be. Unfortunately, the news is not good, and what currently is on the legislative horizon is looking even worse. Unless we are able to learn from the mistakes committed during our past and present state of the Union; we threaten our nation's survival. This is a sad irony: a nation that liberated the world is now faced with a collapse from within.

Thankful For Obama’s Agenda…Or Perhaps, More Accurately, The Reponse
Why am I thankful for the stimulus, healthcare bill and cap and trade legislation? The current shape of things is not positive, and the previously listed legislation has, and will continue to do more to hurt than help. So, why am I thankful? I am thankful that we are seeing what has been taking place incrementally for the last century in full view, unencumbered by the piecemeal façade that has focused on the intent; not the insidious legislative result. Over the years, both Republicans and Democrats have operated outside the lines of basic economics with Ponzi schemes, creative accounting and unconstitutional power grabs. These transgressions "for the greater good," or some other cliché have demanded Americans suspend common sense, historical ... more
Leaders Embrace Criticism, Cowards Silence It
Imagine everything that was connected to you was under a microscope? Your business, family, and friends were all covered with the intensity of OJ's car chase. These microscopes/spotlights are operated by organizations that profit from making you news. Meanwhile, there is an entire political party dedicated to analyzing/criticizing your policies in order to raise money and support for their organization. On top of all of that, you are the leader of the free world. The decisions you make can result in the preservation of life, or in the death of your soldiers, citizens and enemies. Heavy hangs the head that wears the crown; welcome to the White House Mr. President.
Nobody likes to be criticized when they are trying ... more
Business or Government : A simple question unless you’re a liberal politician.
Currently there is a debate between which organization can serve Americans better: Business or Government. The government knows that if the focus is on this central question, they will they will lose the debate. In order to distract us, they have to exploit class divisions, and engage in gross intellectual dishonesty. When we determine the incentives and rules of the two organizations, the choice (answer) is clear.
A business is an organization designed to make a profit; success is realized through economic efficiency. In contrast, government is an organization, where elected officials are tasked with regulation; success is not measured in efficacy or efficiency, but on re-election. So, businesses compete for customers. Elected officials compete for votes. Businesses have an incentive ... more
Blaming Beck
Glenn Beck is now the symbol for opposition to President Obama's administration agenda. There are many critics of the administration who could have gotten the nod like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham or Crane Durham (whoever that guy is), but Beck really deserves the accolade. He was at the forefront of opposing the bailout, then he was all over the stimulus spending waste (don't forget Acorn!) and then he exposed the radical past of Van Jones. Say what you will, but Glenn Beck is no one hit wonder.
Those hits are taking their toll on our President's administration, so they have decided to discredit talk radio, most of which is conservative because liberalism doesn't do too well with two ... more
Racial Hucksters win the battle; Limbaugh has, and continues to, win the war.
Whether you agree or disagree with Rush, you must acknowledge this man is an American success story that should be welcomed into the National Football League. The distortion, and outright lies perpetrated by his critics have been shameful. While these pathetic, jackpot artists have attempted to destroy the man who single-handedly saved radio, they have exposed the weakness of their liberal ideology. When you have malicious clowns like Al Sharpton and...
The Big Chill: President Obama, is this how you deal with dissent?
The recent decision of the Obama administration to attack and isolate Fox News is deeply disturbing. All news organizations, and Americans, should be outraged by the statements of White House Director of Communications, Anita Dunn; this is a direct attempt to silence journalists that have dared to question the executive branch. Unfortunately, there seems to be a pattern emerging...More To Come
Why Liberals Want To Silence Conservatives, Not Engage Them.
Just a quick note on Michelle Malkin's book promotion appearance on The View; it was a prime example of why liberals do not want a debate. First of all, watching The View is painful. In fact, I think they should run it down at GITMO. Between Joy Behar's hate and Walter's elitism, I normally can't hold my breakfast when I do happen to view The View. However, I do like Whoopi in small doses. Though I don't share Golberg's view, she can be, and for the most part, is intellectually honest and measured. Behar is the nut job that I can't stand. She is a hard left, hate monger who is not only reckless but an absolute intellectual coward. In ... more
