Real World Issues

Oct 12, 2009 - Sitting with friends for coffee this morning I posed this question "What are the REAL world issues?"  It was interesting the answers that followed in that conversation.  My friends are a really diverse group of people.  We are not a group of "oh yeah- we all agree on everything" bunch. I gleaned from our conversation about REAL world issues...and they are as follows: Americans are tired, angry, frustrated, and getting impatient.  Many of those from the religious right who voted for Obama because of a desire to be part of history in the making...are now frustrated and suffering buyers remorse.  Sure he just got the Nobel Peace Price but as all will agree, he himself said he didn't deserve it.   The liberal groups are giddy as children who have consumed too much sugar, beaming with pride that their savior that finally has had an undeniable accomplishment.  They feel they are finally making all the rest of us see the brilliance of a man who many others feel has simply been riding a rainbow to a pot of gold.   Speaking of rainbows, lets now consider that bold announcement that Obama's newest goal is to end the "Don't Ask-Don't Tell" era within our military.  Seems he has realized that with so many gays within our military it would not be cost-effective to bounce them out of there after paying so much to train them.  I believe he stated something to the effect that "we need these people to fight" so in a way we can possibly say he implies that "they should have an equal opportunity to die" so that is a Hmmmm...moment. - 0 Comments

Biden’s Version

Sep 07, 2009 - Biden’s Version By the Editors (National Review Online) There’s a line in the movie Dave in which a guy impersonating the president, looking for ways to cut the budget, asks his commerce secretary, “So, we’re spending $47 million so that somebody can feel better about a car that they have already bought?” It doesn’t cost $47 million to get Joe Biden to give a speech — he’ll talk anywhere, anytime, at great length, for free — and his address to the Brookings Institution on Thursday was intended to prevent buyer’s remorse. America already has bought the $787 billion stimulus package and will be paying off that bill for a very long time. Was it a good buy? - 2 Comments

How to Influence a Liberal (But Not a Lunatic)

Aug 13, 2009 - By Robin of Berkeley August 13, 2009 My Open Letter to Liberals (American Thinker, July 31, 2009) sparked some concerns from readers that I had returned to the warm embrace of Mr. Rogers. Several kind souls even offered to spirit me away to safer pastures, sort of like a conservative witness protection program. I can understand why it might have looked like I relapsed, perhaps by inhaling too much medical marijuana. - 11 Comments

It's worse than we thought

Feb 10, 2009 - http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/dpatton/2009/dp_02102.shtml It's Worse Than We Thought By Doug Patton February 10, 2009 Perhaps it was all the hoopla about the historic nature of Barack Obama's presidency. Maybe the hype of election night and all that talk about wishing our first black president well actually made us all believe, for just a fleeting moment in time, that things would not be as bad as we feared they would be. It turns out they are worse. - 31 Comments
