Don’t Blame Obama

The recent GSA and Secret Service scandals have angered a lot of folks, and for good reason. They have also created an opportunity for President Obama’s opponents to criticize his leadership. This time, it really isn’t his fault.

We Will Not Be Fooled. A Black Man’s Perspective on The Trayvon Martin Case

This year, more black men will die at the hands of other black men than soldiers were killed in both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars combined. So why isn’t anyone outraged by black-on-black violence? Why aren’t Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Barack Obama standing on their soap boxes screaming about the injustices going on within the black community – propagated by other blacks?

Dick Cheney: Obama “Deserves An Answer”

The United States of America was a good country before 9/11, just as we are today. List all the things that make us a force for good in the world – for liberty, for human rights, for the rational, peaceful resolution of differences – and what you end up with is a list of the reasons why the terrorists hate America. If fine speech-making, appeals to reason, or pleas for compassion had the power to move them, the terrorists would long ago have abandoned the field. And when they see the American government caught up in arguments about interrogations, or whether foreign terrorists have constitutional rights, they don’t stand back in awe of our legal system and wonder whether they had misjudged us all along. Instead the terrorists see just what they were hoping for – our unity gone, our resolve shaken, our leaders distracted. In short, they see weakness and opportunity.

Who Is This Guy Pretending To Be President?

Has anyone seen Barack Obama recently?

You know, the optimistic hopeful fellow with the charming smile who promised so many positive things four and five years ago, how he was going to change the harsh, partisan tone of our nation’s capital and bring the country together as its first African American president.

A Woman’s Right to Choose – To Stay Home

Democrat strategist/activist and liberal media consultant Hilary Rosen made comments about Ann Romney that has administration officials running like Obama voters from a job fair. Their flight won’t do them any good because, yet again, the Obama administration’s DNA has been revealed through an associate’s remarks.

A Toxic Attitude Towards Women

Half a truth is often a great lie. [Benjamin Franklin]

We are engulfed by “information” every waking moment and it’s getting more and more difficult to distinguish the truth from half truths and lies. Never are distortions of fact more prominent than in politics during an election year. But there are some who provide us with twisted fact and lies all the time. Will Folks is one. And worse, he is every bit Bill Maher’s equal in denigrating women.

Obama’s Million Dollar “Man”

Following my previous post, I want to share this video produced by the conservative women’s group ShePac.

WARNING: Some of the language is explicit.  (But, apparently, that’s “OK” because it’s “comedy.”)

Words!

Politics have never been civil. Not completely, anyway. Whether lies about opponents, spin and distortion about one’s own record, fanciful voting or creative funding of campaigns, politics is nasty stuff.

If one were to psychoanalyze American politics, you would find a very adult subject confined within a juvenile process. It seems we can’t discuss things political without first becoming defensive, then outraged followed by mounting attacks on things irrelevant to the subject. Ultimately, we get to name calling.

A New Healthcare Mandate: Guns

There is increased – and heated – national discussion about healthcare mandates either enacted, proposed or perceived. The debate is between “protecting the populace” – those who favor the dictates – and “government intrusion” – those who disagree with them.

Should the government require people, institutions, organizations or companies to purchase a product or service? That the center of the argument about Obama-Care and the recent dust-up about abortions and contraceptives. But is this debate too limited? If there is to be a Constitutional deliberation, why not expand the logic to test the viability of either side?

Dems Stacking the Deck in Virginia Primary

The Obama campaign is reaching out to Democrats from other states to help register voters for Tuesday’s presidential primary in Virginia. For the record, there is no Democratic primary in the Old Dominion.
