Mr. President ... you blew it!

Saturday, 14 November 2009 5:51 P GMT-05
At your inauguration, you spoke of a ‘transformational age where hope would replace fear, unity would overtake partisanship, and change would sweep aside the status quo.' But the only thing that is changing is the ‘Candidate of Change', himself.

In God We Still Trust

Thursday, 1 October 2009 3:59 P GMT-05
Baby Boomers are the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors the world has ever known. In a world that isn't always fair, we produced an explosion of innovative and new ideas. We trusted God, not government, to sustain us and supply our needs

Now you see it, now you don?t

Thursday, 11 June 2009 5:05 P GMT-05
In this day and age, sleight-of-hand practically defines politics. Universal Health Care, Socialized Medicine and Single-Payer Systems are all political tricksy whose acceptance depends on the success of a political phenomenon called sleight-of-hand.

My Little Town

Wednesday, 10 June 2009 10:18 A GMT-05
FBI says: Atlanta is "America's 2nd least safe city" with a 16% per capita crime rate." The mayor disagrees and says the numbers are jumbled. Citizens celebrate the honor by locking up their flat screen TVs and placing their valuables out of sight.

Who was William Long?

Sunday, 7 June 2009 7:41 A GMT-05
If you don't watch Fox News, you probably don't know. Private William Long was killed on June 1. Not in Iraq or Afghanistan - not by a roadside bomb or RPG. No, he was killed in the heartland near where Mike Huckabee and the "Little Rockers" grew up.

Celebrate Memorial Day with "The American Patriot's Bible"

Monday, 25 May 2009 12:33 P GMT-05
The government, the courts and elements in our society are working to take God out of our lives. Although our nation has been in rebellion for decades, the goal of the godless is to make God irrelevant. A new Bible tells us it wasn't always that way.

Fools Gold

Friday, 22 May 2009 12:32 P GMT-05
Fools' Gold - noun: "Something that appears valuable, but is worthless. Its luster has fooled many into believing they have struck gold while in fact, it's something of little value." Sounds to me like Sir Hopenchange and his legion of dumbocrats.

So these guys are rightwing extremists...

Sunday, 19 April 2009 4:25 P GMT-05
Are you one, too? You can't tell by looking in the mirror. Even by asking your wife who usually has all the answers. How do you find out? Who do you ask? Why the government, of course! A report from the Department of Homeland Security makes it easy.

Every rodeo needs a clown...

Saturday, 11 April 2009 6:39 P GMT-05
... And the Obama rodeo has one in Vice President Joe Biden. He's a clown par excellence; a gaffe machine. But wait, there's more. Joe Biden is also chronic prevaricator, a self-absorbed windbag. He's a perfect fit for the Obama administration!

Sir Hopenchange and his great money printing machine

Tuesday, 17 March 2009 8:19 A GMT-05
After posting another large loss, Sir Hopenchange is giving AIG another $30-billion. $50-billion of the billions already given them went to five foreign banks. Why are are we bailing out foreign banks and bonusing crooked executives? Why indeed!

Birds of a feather

Saturday, 14 March 2009 12:47 P GMT-05
If he was being honest, Obama would have said that he agreed 100% with what Wright said, just not how he said it. Redistributing wealth is a classic tenet of Rev. Wright's Black Liberation Theology, and redistributing wealth is high on Obama's list.

Too few cops?

Tuesday, 10 March 2009 6:25 P GMT-05
In pursuit of flawed policy and a failed ideology, our resources are being squandered; our sense of conscience, morality and reason tossed aside. We'll soon be a nation that's financially and morally bankrupt. I'd yell HELP but no one is listening.

Doo-doo economics!

Friday, 6 March 2009 9:28 A GMT-05
Folks, I get it. After listening over and over to Obama's February 24 budget speech to Congress, it finally sank in. Instead of Voodoo economics, this is simply doo-doo economics! Why have the republicans and El Rushbo made all of this so difficult?

Wrong man; wrong job; wrong answer

Thursday, 5 March 2009 6:24 P GMT-05
A student of the failed Japan bailout of the 90s, Tim Geithner, Obama's Secretary of the Treasury is charged with fixing the American economy - after he pays $34,000 in overdue taxes. But this time, he's sure it will work. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

The second sinking of the fleet

Tuesday, 3 March 2009 4:47 P GMT-05
Yesterday the Dow fell to 6763 - a decline of 25% in two months and the lowest level since 1997. Instead of raising all the boats as he promised, through ignorance, negligence and ideology, Obama and his socialistic party have sunk the fleet - again.

Remember New Coke? Say Hello to the New America!

Friday, 27 February 2009 11:18 A GMT-05
New Coke had the spotlight for only three months, but business folklore is filled with stories about what happened when a cocky leader tampered with a well-established and successful brand. Is the same thing happening to classic America under Obama?

Make mine a double sand, straight-up!

Tuesday, 24 February 2009 6:24 P GMT-05
In the film, The American President an advisor tells the president, "People want leadership - they'll listen to anyone who steps up to the microphone. They'll crawl through the desert and when they discover there's no water, they'll drink the sand."

Another Open Letter to Barack Obama

Friday, 7 November 2008 6:19 P GMT-05
As President, you can redefine cool. You can set the example. You can show millions of young blacks that they won't get very far down the road to success if they are talking trash, taking drugs, being chased by the law or tripping on their pants.

A Silver Lining to an Obama win?

Thursday, 6 November 2008 3:20 P GMT-05
Despite the gloom and doom; despite getting our butt kicked, if we look hard enough, there are some bright spots to an Obama win. Perhaps the brightest spot of all is that on Tuesday, November 4, 2008 America voted to make race an irrelevant issue.

The morning after and all the elephants are weeping

Tuesday, 4 November 2008 7:42 P GMT-05
To the party that won: it's time to put up or shut up. But remember, you cannot help the poor by destroying the rich or strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help men by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

Blow up the TV, throw away the paper!

Saturday, 1 November 2008 8:12 P GMT-05
Three days to go. I can't wait. Perhaps then I can enjoy a meal in peace; a meal without seeing nasty political commercials running back-to-back on the TV. Am I the only one that doesn't 'approve of this ad'? Today it all began a little before 7:30am

Politics: it ain't for sissies anymore

Wednesday, 29 October 2008 8:14 P GMT-05
This election season, both parties are guilty of mudslinging; both parties have degraded the quality of civil discourse in our country. While the GOP is learning to play the game, in the National Nastiness Poll, the democrats lead the GOP 71% to 29%.

Turning on, tuning in and dropping out!

Friday, 12 September 2008 10:57 A GMT-05
Timothy Leary said, "Turn on, tune in, drop out." Like the slogan, "Change we can believe in," it urged people to "change" by detaching themselves from existing conventions and hierarchies, albeit with drugs. It's also a good way to combat media bias

Coyote Politics

Friday, 29 August 2008 7:33 P GMT-05
Ever been bitten by the love bug? Ever fallen so hard that you lost all sense of reason? Or been so awe struck that you couldn't eat and couldn't sleep? I have - a number of times. And after Disneyland in Denver, that's how most Democrats must feel.

Obama's Magic Bus and Media Tour

Friday, 25 July 2008 7:54 P GMT-05
Showing adulation usually reserved for heads of state, all three evening news anchors accompanied Barack Obama on his trip to Europe and the Middle East. Just when you think they can't hit any new highs in journalistic lows, they outdo themselves!
