I must admit that as I write this, I have a brain that has been a bit taxed this evening in some introspective thought as well as some challenging dialogue on philosophy and government. But I am bouncing back long enough to offer some thoughts on President Obama’s speech from Cairo. I have to admit that there were things that I liked and things that I did not like. I applaud that the President feels that the right thing to do is to go out and kiss and make up with the entire world. He is doing so in gripping fashion. I think it is a waste of time, and I further think that the time has come for a Democrat to man up. But I don’t imagine that is going to happen anytime soon, so let’s stick to the speech shall we?
Reviewing the Much Loved Speech
Some Thoughts on Obama’s Muslim Outreach Program
Another Democratic Flip-Flop
In a surprising turn of events, the Obama administration is now reported to be reversing course and has come to the conclusion that all of their bitching and whining was unjustified. Realizing the flaw in their initial thinking and acknowledging that their petty attacks and reckless accusations against President Bush were unwarranted in this particular area, they have issued a formal apology. OK, I made that second part up. We all know that there will not be a time when the arrogant group of liberals running the Democratic party admit to being wrong or offer any apologies to Bush. But interestingly, they are in fact reversing course in the military commission system at Gitmo.
Yet Another Example of Campaign BS Rhetoric
Hello Pot? This is Kettle. You’re Black.
Since the last couple days have been spent on taxes, I thought this would make some of us laugh, in that way we laugh when someone says something about our mom. You want to punch them in the face, instead you laugh and tell them with a smile, “Dude, don’t talk about my mom”. In a laughable turn of events Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner issued a warning to all those out there that dodge your taxes.
The Arrogance of this Administration Never Ceases to Amaze Me
A Difference in Philosophy… Ronald Reagan
We are all here because we want to talk about politics. And we do. The other night some of you witnessed the exchange between myself and a commenter who espoused the glory of socialism. He was quick to point out that every President has taken socialistic stances in one way or another. And for the most part I agree. It has been a long time since we had a President that was down the line Constitutionally sound. But there have certainly been varying degrees to which we can apply the statement “all who came before have done so”. As a basic tenant of my belief system, I think government needs some massive reduction in size….
How Reagan Inspired My Belief in Smaller Government
Transparency We Can Believe In
Hope and Change, Hope and Change, HOPE AND CHANGE!!! If we say it enough times perhaps we will actually see some of it. But let’s be honest, we aren’t seeing much hope coming from the new administration are we? I have documented the doom and gloom coming from the President. As far as change, it sure seems like the only change is the party affiliation of those who are screwing us most. We can continue to click our ruby red slippers together and chant “There’s no place like Hope and Change” until our feet bleed, but we have to face up to the fact that the American public got duped again.
Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain
Pissed Off Yet America? We Need a Change
As part of my daily rituals, I routinely go out and seek other blogs to find out what people are saying. I have been struggling a bit lately with figuring out exactly where I wanted to go with this blog, whether I was going to push Libertarianism, simply give daily reports on current news, or maybe begin writing daily poems dedicated to the trees. I realized that last one might lose me some of my valuable readers, so I ruled it out quickly. But really, how do I want to proceed. I have found one common thread in what I read out there and I think that it may provide me an answer for where I go next….
Treating the Government Like the Aliens They Have Become
You Can’t Handle the Truth (Commission)
It seems to me that Democrats are being a bit bitchy these days. They are like that girl you used to date, who was a complete social retard. You dumped her when you found her rifling through your sock drawer looking for some kind thing you did wrong. Now she still tracks your moves and calls each girl you date and tells her what an asshole you are. In other words, she puts a lot of effort into proving you are bad rather than say… cleaning up her own kitchen. That is the Democrat today…
Let the Witch Hunt Begin
Here We Go Again… The Absolutely Not-Fairness Doctrine
This has been a topic that has popped onto and off of people’s radars for the last couple of years. But now that a certain party has control of both Houses and the White House, they are beginning to do what what most of us knew they would do. They are taking every single agenda item they want and forcing it through to law while no one can stop them. The Democrats have made it clear that they are going to make the move to re-institute the so called “Fairness Doctrine”. They claim they just want to make the talk radio circuit fair to the poor liberals who don’t have a voice. And I sympathize with the poor liberals. I mean without talk radio they really are doomed. They simply don’t have any way to be able to reach the American public with their message of togetherness and bi-partisanship. It just isn’t fair.

Playing Every Card in the Deck
Guest commentator Black Flag can appreciate the idea of playing what you got. It seems the Democrats in Congress, however, have throw more than a couple jokers into the deck over the last couple of weeks. So I was stumbling around checking things out today and I stumbled upon this little tidbit. It seems the Democrats are negotiating on terms to increase their power through additional representation in Congress…
How Democrats Intend to Retain Power in Congress
Another Great Post on Coup D’etat by Monkey Wrench
I just wanted to make sure that everyone sees this and takes a read. I was over at Revolution2010’s site a bit ago and read the most intriguing post about the census and the chess game that is being played in order for Democrats to gain seats in Congress through yet another joker in the deck. They are using this new found power to make every quick move they can to change all the rules to stack the deck in their favor. Jump over and read it real quick and leave her some comments. The post is the Shell Game post. Her other one for the day is great as well, entitled the Emperor’s New Clothes. Get there here: Coup d’etat by Monkey Wrench
Personal Responsibility… The Lost Virtue, Part I
OK, let’s just be honest with what we are going to do here in this post. I am going to begin the post by framing this in a political way that literally makes fun of the economic stimulus bill. But them I am going to turn and cross over at some point to the lambasting of something that is a personal pet peeve of mine. As many of you know I am a big fan of personal responsibility.
Why the Economic Stimulus Plan shouldn’t worry us at All
Hurry Up and Wait….
Those of you who have dealt with the government in any fashion, especially the military veterans out there, have heard that phrase a million times. It is used to describe the government process. Be fast and efficient now so that the government can then sit on its collective laurels and make you wait. In the military it is the equivalent of being told to show up for a 3:00 pm doctors appointment at 11:15 am. And we are hearing it every single day in the new Obama administration. And there is a reason for that.

I am Sure Glad to See Daschle Go to Jail…
It is good to see that the members of Congress, both past and present, are held accountable for their actions. We all can take solace in the fact that even a former Senate Democratic leader is not above the law. He doesn’t pay his taxes and he gets carted off to jail just like the rest of us. Hold on my wife is interrupting me again…. What!? He isn’t going to jail? He was selected to be the Secretary of what? What frackin idiot picked him for that? Oh. OK, well my wife just informed me that Mr. Daschle is NOT going to jail….
I see the Criminals in Congress, but Where are the Guards?
Holding Barrack Obama Accountable
I saw this news story the other day and I knew immediately that it fell right into the wheelhouse of what I have been discussing on this site since I began: Government Accountability. It seems that an editor of the St. Petersburg Times decided he would research, document, and track every one of the 510 campaign promises that Barrack Obama made during his campaign for the Presidency. I initially thought, “yeah, right. Some newspaper will realistically track this…”
