Since Obama is going back to the Clinton-era way of handling terrorism as a criminal problem, we can infer one of two things. Either the war on terror has been won, in which case Obama owes President Bush a very public “thank you,” or we have surrendered.

On the first part of this story, I’ll say “good job” for actually doing SOMETHING against the narco-terrorists ruling our southern border. Since these narco-terrorists have become the defacto government of Mexico, and they have declared war on us militarily and economically, we need to declare war on them. When we start shooting [...]

Sen. Robert “KKK” Byrd (D-W.Va.) is someone I can’t recall ever having been in agreement with. That’s why I find it so remarkable that he and I would now agree on anything.

Obama made several claims over the last 3 days that just don’t add up. Most importantly, his words and actions are dichotomous. He is parsing words more aggressively that Bill Clinton ever did. For example, he says he will cut the deficit “that he inherited” in half by the end of his [...]

In one of my previous posts, there has been quite a lively debate about the “Fairness Doctrine” that is also quite illustrative of liberal opinions on free speech, and a lack of understanding concerning basic economics.

This article from 1999 shows the origins of the housing/lending bust we are in now. Contrary to the Bush-bashing idiots that continue to shout at the top of their lungs, Bush did not cause the housing and lending meltdown. What he did was abandon the principles of conservatism and capitalism in pushing for [...]

Thanks to ST for this little tidbit. Obama Bin Lyin has been at it again. As often as we are being back-door’d by Obama you just can’t help but think he must have an inferiority complex, believing that he’s not allowed to use the front door.

I’m still having trouble narrowing this down to an understandable level. It’s OK for a muslim man to behead a Christian, westerner, or muslim woman. It’s OK for muslims to air television broadcasts that glorify the killing of non-muslims. It’s OK for muslims to indoctrinate their children to hate Jews and Christians. [...]

Update: March 10, 2009
These FACTS are at the heart of the matter of why this issue won’t die. Obama could easily silence the critics by simply producing the REAL certificate (not certification) of live birth. Why won’t he? The longer he holds out, the more reason he gives opponents to dig for [...]

Here is a well written letter by Rush Limbaugh directed to Mr. Obama and those in his party contemplating support for some form of censorship of talk radio or other forms of media. Mr. Obama has stated that he does not support the “Fairness Doctrine.” However, based on his track record thus far [...]

The Biden Prophecy
