    Number of comments: 4
    I’m having a really hard time figuring out what to talk about. Most people who come here know I’m pretty set in my conservative thinking but, like most conservatives, I have a hard time putting into words exactly what that means versus the definition given to everyone by those on [...]

    Number of comments: 7
    AIG did and now they reap the results. How many more will follow Mr. Jenkins lead, now that Congress has decided to play moral dictator over .1% of the bailout money going to people who it seems, for the most part had nothing to do with AIG’s meltdown? If enough [...]

  • Why the Media Coverage of the 2008 Presidential Election Sucked.

    Number of comments: 10
    OK–maybe I’m a bit paranoid, but I definitely believe that there has been a vast left wing conspiracy afoot in the mainstream media for some time now. Now, if you all will bear with me, I believe that I can prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that [...]

  • The Sims2 President

    Number of comments: 5
    Of course, there are no presidents in the Sim2 game. The highest level of politician in the game is Mayor, because, after all, it’s a city not a country that you’re building in the game. Ironically, with all the press about Obama and his teleprompter fixation, I was reminded of this [...]

  • Resentment and Anger Over the Economy? Not Anymore.

    Number of comments: 10
    It is what it is and we have to adapt. Unfortunately, for you idiots out there who supported this, any sympathy I might have felt has went the same way as the resentment and anger. This stimulus bill is the biggest government power grab in the country’s history and there [...]

  • Perhaps a gentler herding but herding nonetheless.

    Number of comments: 10
    Yes, folks, we are being herded toward communism. I can’t even call it the gentler version named socialism. With a few strokes of a pen Obama has effectively signed away our right to make a living outside of joining a union. Since the economy has tanked and jobs are scarce anyway, [...]

    Or “Do as I say, not as I do.” Take your pick.

    Number of comments: 2
    Listening to Fox News for once. Obama has been in front of the cameras for the umpteenth time since before taking office. Frankly, he bores me because all he knows how to do is talk. Talk, talk, talk. In other news, there are no less than 5 major media outlets calling [...]

    Human Events tells us that McCain is now blaming his loss on Rush Limbaugh… and Conservatism. Nice of him to finally admit he’s not a conservative, which is tantamount to admitting he’s not a Reaganite, either. Of course, he lost because of Conservatism but whose fault is that? The Conservatives’ [...]

What I have to say about it doesn’t need passages quoted. It is full of demands for conservative leadership, conservative principles, so on and so forth. It [...]

    Rather than insanity, I believe the word in the title best characterizes not just our county but most of the rest of the world. Couple inanity with rampant narcissism, which seems to have infected everyone in some way, what we’ve got is a world gone stupid. Before continuing, one believes it’s [...]

    We could talk about Blagojevich and Obama but it’s being hashed rather thoroughly in the press. Really all I have to say about that is Obama is in it up to his eyeballs, knew about it and did nothing, or is the dumbest politician alive to be so clueless considering [...]

    Funny how Shakespeare is still so relevant today. I suppose an alternative title could be: “The real significance of the birth certificate conspiracy.” It’s not whether Obama is or isn’t a U.S. citizen, although in all probability he is. The real significance is his consistent refusal to provide proof as required [...]

    It’s been a strange weekend that culminated in some revelations; several as a matter of fact. With the world full of premises, often left unquestioned it’s very easy to find cynicism and anger taking over one’s life. That reached a crisis point, so to speak, over this weekend, as I found [...]
