RINOs Try to Trample Tea Party

Crime and Punishment, Environment, Illegal Immigration, Political Correctness, Politics, Society/Culture, economy

The Tea Party Movement was born as a wholesale rejection of the tyrannical, reckless and un-Constitutional actions of an unresponsive government. It wasn’t just a reaction to progressive Democrats, but also wayward Republicans who forgot that we owe our allegiance to our Creator and our Constitution, not the US Senate and certainly not an unscrupulous, hypocritical Republican Party offering a gentler form of socialism-lite. Many of these so-called “conservatives” in the GOP are now positioning themselves for 2012. And, although the 2010 CPAC conference further energized an enthusiastic movement, what did it really tell us?

Barack Obama’s Bucket Brigade

Media Bias, Politics, Society/Culture, economy

Now that Democrats have finally finished pleasuring themselves, perhaps we can all come back down to Earth for just a moment and face reality.

You Can Fool Some of the People…

Politics

The caucus-goers in Iowa have caucused. Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama get the Iowa nod. But Iowa isn’t New Hampshire. Or Florida. Or California. It is but the first in a series of contests the candidates must win in order to capture the presidency and there’s still a long, circuitous trek from the rural roads of Iowa to Pennsylvania Avenue.

Although Huckabee took Iowa, it is not yet clear if he can sustain the momentum he has. He was essentially handed a victory by a large bloc of evangelical voters despite several foreign policy gaffes and revelations of a less than stellar record (conservatively speaking) on illegal immigration, taxes and crime. Mike Huckabee may be able to fool some of the people some of the time, but he certainly can’t fool them all. Voters in states like California are too smart to invest much equity in Huckabee’s House of Baloney.

The Joke’s On Us

Politics

The 2008 primary season has barely begun and already there are more ugly examples of campaign shenanigans on both sides than ever before. It matters not that voters have consistently voiced their desire to hear the candidates’ positions on the issues; all we get is the occasional self-aggrandized version of one’s record, followed by copious attacks on their opponent’s records topped off with personal attacks on the opponents themselves by private investigators and muckrakers of every stripe.

Let’s have a look at what a few of the leading candidates are up to so you can make an informed decision about which Americans may not be the best president.
