Got a few minutes for Fred?

 
He’s a smooth talkin’ man…and it helps that he’s absolutely right!

I love Fred Thompson.  I keep thinking of him saying “The Russians don’t take a dump, son with a plan”

Public Discourse and the 1st Amendment

Police prepare for unrest
Republican HQ Manager’s Home Shot Up Over McCain Signs
The fact that my first amendment rights only apply if I agree with you and if I don’t, I can be the target of violence is sad and disturbing.
Luckily, the second amendment still applies (at least for now).
I have a weapon and I will [...]

"Gov. Palin – Who are you wearing???"

Much ado about the Palin wardrobe brouhaha. 
Is this worth the time the MSM is spending on it?  Only insofar as it allows them to pile on once again.
Here’s my opinion.  Sarah Palin is a governor of a remote (geographically speaking) state.  Her wardrobe is sufficient for the type of business she does in Alaska, [...]

Frankenstein – Researchers take the next step

In another sign of the times and another display of the devaluation of human life:
Lawmakers back animal-human embryo research
The lower house of parliament approved legislation Wednesday allowing scientists to create animal-human embryos for medical research, in the biggest shake-up of embryology laws in two decades.

The full story is here.
While I understand all too well [...]

Words have meanings – Socialist does not mean black, but doofus still means doofus

 
As further evidence that the left wants to control your life and shape the direction of humanity – whether you agree or disagree; whether it goes against your values or not; whether it goes against the Constitution or not – it is now apparently inappropriate to call a thing what it is.  Wrap it instead [...]

Doomsday scenario – a peek inside your future

 
The Wall Street Journal has a pretty somber story here focusing on what happens if the current batch of liberal Democrats in the Congress can set the agenda, unchallenged, within an Obama presidency.  It’s worth reading in full – highlights below:
If the current polls hold, Barack Obama will win the White House on November 4 [...]

Car Loans, Main Street, Sweet Pork

Where are we headed?  Here’s a clue for ya from MotorTrend:
Are you the type who regularly checks your credit score and stays on top of every little change at the major credit bureaus? If you’re like many Americans, the answer to this is probably no, but you might want to start being a little more [...]

The definition of insanity

Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
The American people give Congress a approval rating of 15%, but keep electing the same people over and over again.  We despise Congress, but feel our own representatives are okay.  Please, people, none of them are okay.  [...]

AIG: Bailout $ not enough for them to buy a clue

I don’t know how many of you saw the nice comment I got from AIG BlogResponse to my last post about AIG.  I can’t confirm it was from AIG, but an email I sent to the email address, did not bounce back and it sounded like something a PR department would say….
That’s all good, but:
State [...]

Obama, the whiner

“I am convinced that if there were no Fox News, I might be two or three points higher in the polls,” Obama told me. “If I were watching Fox News, I wouldn’t vote for me, right? Because the way I’m portrayed 24/7 is as a freak! I am the latte-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, [...]

Michelle Obama slams down the race card…

Interesting (and scary) if true.  Read the entire story.
From the African Press International (API) website;
Shocking development:  Mrs Obama decides enough is enough: “My husband was born in Hawaii and adopted by his stepfather, does that make him unpatriot; she asks”, on a direct telephone to API.
Note:  Byron York, from NRO’s The Corner reports:

That Michelle Obama [...]

Truth about taxes…room for the middle class at the poor house

From the New York Post today OBAMA TELLS THE TAX TRUTH (below):
Original source story here.  Emphasis in red is mine.
By the way, as regards the checks from Washington sited below – where I live, that’s called welfare.  I am insulted to think that anyone wants to suggest I can’t make it without government welfare.  I [...]

Yellow Journalism – who can you trust?

The lowest form of popular culture – lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives – has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.
Carl Bernstein
From Wikipedia: Yellow journalism is journalism that downplays legitimate news in favor of eye-catching headlines that sell [...]

Quit digging…

“What do you do when you’re in a hole?  Quit digging.”
So sayeth Sarah Palin on the American economy.
Amen Sister.
I just love her.
