  • Obama is a Poseur!

    I heard about this yesterday and Insty has a bunch of links to posts about it, but good grief…..  Obama throws out the first pitch (like a 5 year old girl) at the Washington Nationals game (after cleverly putting on his White Sox hat) and then  completely proceeds to muff some slow-pitch questions, such as… Continue reading

  • Obama as the Goblin King??? Or would that be Pelosi??

    I saw this blogtitle ” Submission to authoritarianism is freedom!” from Classical Values and immediately flashed to the movie Labyrinth with David Bowie.  Eric has put together a great blogpost that discusses the nature of authoritarianism and the fact that it’s actually the left/liberals who tend to want to pass laws against things they don’t… Continue reading

  • So how DO you fire the RNC chairman??

    Listening to the news this morning on my way to work and it was mentioned that Michael Steele, RINO RNC Chairman, is being taken to task for some rather extravagant trips on the RNC dime.  He hasn’t been high on my list, being a RINO and an apologist for Republican views, but then he did… Continue reading

  • The news that isn't….. sexual addiction

    Was watching the morning news and the Today Show came on.  Now I’m not expecting hard-hitting reporting or anything from them, but the lead stories were just dog-and-pony-let’s-distract-the-populace types of prurient and salacious tales.  Plus they are total crap.  The main focus was sex addiction–Tiger Woods, Jesse James, David Duchovny (who started this whole thing). … Continue reading

  • The Mount Vernon Statement

    Bookworm references The Mount Vernon Statement in her post on creating a definition of a conservative racist (see my previous post).  It’s worth posting separately (I’ve cut off the signatures and such so go to the link for a full view): We recommit ourselves to the ideas of the American Founding.  Through the Constitution, the… Continue reading

  • The definition of being a conservative racist

    Bookworm has a fantastic post about the redefining the word racist and her definition of a conservative racist.  Some excepts: I’m a racist because I believe that blacks are fully capable human beings who are perpetually demeaned by the liberal theory holding that blacks cannot function without handouts from condescending, rich white people. I’m a… Continue reading

  • Join the crowd–more elected officials who don't care about the Constitution

     Via Instapundit, a link to Big Government with a video that shows Rep. Phil Dare (D-IL) talking about the fact that he doesn’t worry about the Constitution.  Link here.  It seems to me that politicians are so used to lying that the oaths that they took upon being sworn into office are meaningless.  It used… Continue reading

  • Porn and Relationships—some thoughts prompted by an article from Dr. Helen

    Dr. Helen (the InstaWife) has an article today about a woman in Virginia who basically blames porn for her husband leaving her.   My thoughts are this, and I have to admit that they are much different than they might have been even six months ago–some of them are thoughts I’ve always had.  I think that… Continue reading

  • "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

    No wonder the healthcare bill passed if this is an example of our Representatives at work.  Via Mr. B. at In the Middle of the Right, a youtube video of Hank Johnson, the man who defeated Cynthia “Do you know who I am” McKinney in the 4th district race in 2006 in Georgia.  A friend… Continue reading

  • Food memories–Springfield, IL

    I’ve lived pretty much all over the place (on the east side of the Mississippi) during my adult years.  This has been both a blessing and a curse.  I’ve been fortunate to have a few close friends with whom I keep in touch from each place I’ve touched ground.  This is the blessing.  I’ve also… Continue reading
