John Kerry Scores an Own Goal

I agree with Senator John Kerry:

“You know the Chinese are looking at us right now and they are just gleeful and incredulous at the way in which one of the great competitors is imploding on itself, because a group of absolutists and extremists don’t understand the implication of what they are doing, and prepared to hold the entire economy hostage and it is unprecedented of anything I have seen in all of the time I have been in public life, and I think it is damaging and dangerous and reckless and irresponsible,” Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) told MSNBC.

I just disagree with him about precisely whom the Chinese find so … Continue reading

Rush to Conservatives: I’m damn proud of you | The Right Scoop

Boehner 3.0 passed, Senate killed it, and now Reid will replace it with a craptastic compromise.  This is the sell-out we are bracing for.  But it doesn’t have to be this way.  We did win, after all.  We have a veto on spending.  If we show the fortitude required, the Democrats will crumble.

RightScoop currently hosting a great clip from Rush:

Rush says that the only reason we have Boehner 3.0 is because of the Tea Party members in Congress and because of us conservatives who made our voices loud and clear, and he says he’s damn proud of all of us. And then he turns it on.

He blasts the leadership for doing Obama and Reid’s bidding and says we should not be the lifeline to getting … Continue reading

Obamacare Death Star Will Strike Soon

Excellent write-up by Senator Jim DeMint.  Here’s a part, the whole ting is quite good.

Obama’s use of waivers also conceals the financial blowout that is coming in 2014. More than three million Americans haven’t seen any changes in their health insurance, yet because the president gave them a waiver, provided they first prove that ObamaCare would hike their premiums or slash their benefits.

But, all those waivers expire in 2014. And when the waivers are no longer available, rising costs will force businesses to push their employees off of private plans into the government system.

Caterpillar Corp. has said it could save 70 percent on health care costs by dropping coverage and paying the penalties. AT&T’s $2.4 billion in annual health care expenses would drop to just … Continue reading

The Great Wait Has Begun

The Wait

America’s friends and enemies alike are waiting for the results of the 2012 election as much as Americans themselves.  Perhaps more.  Much is at stake, but for many reasons, the most valuable tactic of delay is the least-mentioned.  The clock is running out on Obama, and those who can wait are holding out in civil fashion for better days.  Those who cannot are scrambling to survive.  But if Obama wins in 2012, all bets are off.

Abroad

The American right is not much given to complaining about its government overseas, so that the perennial threats made by famous but inconsequential people to move abroad are not a feature of unpopular democrat administrations.  Neither are tens of thousands of YouTube videos and online still photos with perky … Continue reading

Final Jeopardy for David Gregory

Republicans should use this opportunity to fire back at the biased media by boycotting Meet The Press.  The advantages outweigh the drawbacks.

On the wildly popular game show Jeopardy, contestants must state their answers in the form of a question.  That’s pretty much the rule in lefty hack journalism as well.  I do not support the candidacy of Newt Gingrich, but we cannot accept this sort of thing or we are bound to lose.

David Gregory, the host of NBC’s somewhat less popular Meet The Press,  made an assertion of fact along the way to slandering a Republican candidate for President. I say he needs to put up or shut up. If he cannot produce the goods, and will not apologize for his baseless slander, then … Continue reading

For the Children

Cross between a skewering of Pelosi’s evasions and Gore’s book etc to show that they will kill us all “for the children”. This should be in a somewhat confusing tone, a little Modest Proposal but not full-on. I’m looking for a sort of vicious mocking by an inappropriate gentleness.

Open Letter to McConnell and Boehner:
I listened to speeches made by both of you immediately after the election. I was greatly impressed by both speeches–I played the m for friends and introduced them to podcasts and talk radio wherever possible. while unfortunately wondering how long it would last. I have read several accounts of conflict between Tea PArty and GOP chars b4 election, and some immed after. Fair enough. The first serious trbl I saw … Continue reading

DRAFT — The Marxism of President Obama: The Mask Falls (3)

Third of three, shortly to be rolled into a single post, after, you know, editing (which will generate a fourth, but that’s another story).

Get In The Game

This speech revolves around paragraphs 50 and 51, to the extent that the rest of it begins to seem like mere padding, especially since there are only 60 paragraphs in the whole speech.  It’s as if he needed several pages of warm-up time, working up the nerve, to drop his proposition.  Can’t say I blame him.

Because he blames American corporations for the economy not responding to his stimuli, of course the solution must lie in changing the behavior of American corporations.  Paragraph 50:
[pullquote]American companies have nearly $2 trillion sitting on their balance sheets[/pullquote]

So if I’ve got … Continue reading

The Marxism of President Obama in One Paragraph

President Barack Obama is a modern American Marxist because he does not understand the way Capitalism works, which causes him to mis-diagnose the American economy.  When he says Capitalism, he is thinking of Mercantilism, and he casts about in time-worn fashion for something to replace it.  The two responses to the depredations of Mercantilism were Marxism and Capitalism, and since the President does not see a difference between Mercantilism and Capitalism, the only solution to him is Marxism.  He wonders why the rest of us cannot see it so clearly.

So there it is.  I continue to work on my analysis which has so far (to my surprise) led to the above conclusion.  That analysis is currently scattered over several blog posts in varying stages of the editorial … Continue reading
