THE TOP ELEVEN OF 2011

Last year, we did a “Top Ten of 2010” List highlighting the highs & lows of the Year in Review. Since 2011 is now signing off, let’s go through The Top Eleven! #11 – WEINERGATE: If I’d have limited this to a “Top Ten” list, Anthony’s Weiner would not have made the list, but since [...]

PARTY OF THREE

I’ve been critical of both the Democratic and Republican Parties over the issues that have faced our Nation, and I believe that, as a Conservative, I have been extremely fair. To this point, I will admit to a bias towards the Republicans, because at least SOME of their Representatives have expressed a connection to my [...]

OUTRAGE AND BETRAYAL

I don’t need a longwinded post to express my feelings about what happened with the Debt Ceiling/Budget Debate in the House & Senate. I don’t need it because I can sum it up in two words: Outrage and Betrayal. (Of course, let’s be honest: I’m not going to end it there…that’s just the way I [...]

ANOTHER BAD IDEA

Time keeps on slippin’…slippin’…slippin…and, apparently, Congress and the President have made absolutely no headway into dealing with the whole Debt Ceiling/Budget Crisis that could mean that, within just two weeks, Social Security Beneficiaries may not get their checks, the military may not get paid, and the entire economy may collapse. Well, at least that’s what [...]

SO NOW YOU WANT TO COMPROMISE?

The President has made it clear that his line in the sand regarding the ongoing Debt/Deficit Debate is that the Republicans will have to compromise on Taxes. In exchange, he’s willing to consider reform to Entitlement Programs, and what he considers to be massive spending cuts. Four Trillion, in fact, is currently “on the table”…over [...]
