Obama – Electing a socialist

Regardless what he’s said or not said on the campaign trail, Mister Obama has a history of being associated with socialists – and this is not simply a case of loose or fleeting informal associations with people who are later discovered to have socialist tendencies.  No, in fact the man actually actively participated in, joined the ranks of, [...]

“redistribution of wealth” via the free market versus redistribution through government edict

Mark Steyn, my favorite Canadian, succinctly nails it in this piece about “redistribution of wealth” via the free market versus redistribution through government edict.  But what’s even more interesting are his quotes from various Obamamaniacs’ endorsements.   Sounds like they want him to be more like…McCain…

Rasmussen poll – 44% of Americans side against Joe the Plumber

Two good articles from the beginning of the week that I finally got around to reading.  On a similar subject, yesterday I heard the disheartening result from a recent Rasmussen poll.  Apparently 44% of those surveyed think that some form of socialism/redistributionism is not necessarily a bad thing.  Lord help us when that number reaches [...]

McCain equals USA, Obama equals himself

Another e-mail from my conservative friend this morning had some great insight.
Subject – The brass tacks of it
The simple explanation is usually the most effective.  When making your choice (like there is one) between Obama and McCain … this speaks VOLUMES
At the DNC … the Obama supporters chanted O-BAM-A

Will McCain waste Palin?

Will McCain waste Palin?  Perhaps for this election.  But the more appropriate question is, “Will Palin be wasted politically by this campaign?”  No, I don’t think we’ve seen the last of her.  I think that, if Obama strolls into the White House next January, Palin will go back to AK, where she will use the political [...]

A young Democrat’s epiphany

This popular posting/email is a very good illustration of the mindset of liberals vs. conservatives.
I was talking to my friend’s little girl, and she said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, very Liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, ‘If you were President what would be the [...]

New Palin scandal: She took my Red Stapler

Hot Air is providing us with more information on Sarah Palin’s ‘lack’ of thriftiness. It is amazing what people will gripe about when there is nothing to gripe about.
