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 [...]

ASSUME THE PARTISAN POSITION

You’ve heard me say it before, and I’m going to say it again: I HATE POLITICS! Oh, yeah, I rant & rave about the things going on in our Government all the time, but it’s based on CONSERVATISM, which is a philosophy, not about the Republicans or Democrats, per se. I couldn’t give a rat’s [...]

NO BIG SURPRISE

While the rest of the Nation prepares itself for family, friends and turkey for their Thanksgiving Day traditions, news reports are emerging that the so-called “Super Committee” is on the verge of failure…Big Surprise. In case you’ve forgotten, Thanksgiving is the deadline for this group of House Representatives and Senators to reach an agreement to [...]

HERMAN CAIN – THE NEXT REAGAN?

The more I’ve been listening to the things that Herman Cain has been saying, the more that I like him. I still have my reservations, of course, but he generally seems to get it.

Throughout the President’s speech, the urgency of passing the “American Jobs Act” as quickly as possible has been [...]

PICKING YOUR CANDIDATES – PART 2

“Republicans have to nominate someone better than the person they want to defeat…If they get so adamant that they will only support a candidate that believes everything on their checklist, they will re-elect Obama.” Mike Huckabee was thus quoted in a recent New York Times article regarding the increasingly serious contest between Presidential Hopefuls for [...]

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 [...]

THE DEBT DUEL

On July 25, President Barack Obama & Speaker of the House John Boehner went “Head to Head” in “Back to Back” speeches about the ongoing Debt Crisis. As a huge surprise to everyone, nothing new was said. Both stuck to their talking points, neither offered anything new or different than they had discussed before, and [...]
