The Democratic/Socialist Convention ended with a whimper, not a bang. In spite of the estimated 84,000 screaming, flag waving, hopefuls filling the bleachers, Obama’s speech offered nothing new. In fact, if you missed the speech, just get out your history book and reread the speech given by any “progressive” candidate since Teddy Roosevelt and you [...]

Democrats Nominate Most Hard-Core Socialist in Seventy-Six Years
Posted in 2008 Election, Barack Obama, John McCain, Politics, Socialism, tagged 2008 Election, constitution, liberty, mccain, obama, Politics, Socialism on August 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
On Wednesday, the Democratic Party officially nominated its second hard-core socialist candidate for President in history. The hope is that he will be able to finish the work began by Franklin D. Roosevelt some seventy-five years ago. Like Roosevelt, Obama supporters bristle at the label of “socialist”. This in spite of the fact that the [...]
Obama’s Nigerian Connection

One of the fringe benefits of being a Democratic candidate for public office is that you can do almost anything without serious scrutiny by the popular press. That is certainly true of the candidacy of Barack Obama. With the exception of the Chicago Tribune, Obama’s hometown paper, the national press has ignored most [...]
America’s Moral Failure

A lot of food for thought came out of the Saddleback Church forum last Saturday night. Abortion, the Constitution, the Supreme Court, marriage, world hunger, and many other subjects of importance in choosing a President came up, either directly or indirectly. One of the most important aspects of the forum was the opportunity [...]
Do Your Patriotic Duty–Pray for a Do-Nothing Congress
Posted in 2008 Election, Barack Obama, Politics, Socialism, energy, tagged comprehensive, congress, energy, gasoline prices, obama, Politics on August 16, 2008 | 1 Comment »
It seems everywhere you turn someone is demanding the government do something to lower the price of gasoline and solve our “energy crisis”. Before joining the chorus we need to stop and apply some good old fashioned “horse sense” to the problem.
We do not have an energy crisis. We have a business crisis. [...]

In a little over three weeks, Congress is scheduled to return from their five-week summer vacation. At the top of their agenda will be the oil crisis. Under the current political climate, it will be difficult for Congress to adjourn before Election Day without taking some type of action supposedly designed to relieve [...]

Obama has promised to double our foreign aid budget to $50 billion, if he is elected President in November. A part of that increase is Senate Bill S.2433, the Global Poverty Act of 2007, a bill sponsored by Obama that proposes to cut global poverty in half by the year 2050. The bill has [...]

Barack Obama continued his tirade against America on Friday before “carbon-footing” across the Pacific to Hawaii for a short vacation. A new poll indicates that about 70% of Americans are getting tired of Obama‘s constant presence in the media. After a year of 24/7 praise from the media coupled with a year of [...]

As the American electorate debates the issue of transforming our Constitutional Republic into a Democratic Socialist state, Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are giving us a preview of what we can expect after a socialist takeover. Words alone do not seem to be enough. Mainstream Conservative commentators and talk show hosts appear to have [...]
A Party of Deception: Part 4 – The Energy Game

The battle over lifting the ban on offshore and Alaskan oil drilling will have been an exercise in futility if Obama becomes President and the socialist/democrats take over both houses of Congress. Nothing is going to happen in Washington that is beneficial to the American people this year, as far as the current oil [...]
