The Political Left views people in groups, not as individuals. This is why some people are more equal than others and why some people are more valuable than others (i.e., hate crime laws). In so doing it is then possible to create divides among the people. People lose their individual identities … [Read more...]
What has been forgotten in all this shutdown talk is why there there can even be a shutdown in the first place: there's no official budget in place. The President has had his budget blueprint unanimously voted down not once, but twice. Not a single Democrat would even put their name on his plan. … [Read more...]
This is the perfect follow-up to my previous post where I point out that the political left use hyperbolic language to paint their ideological counterparts as evil and unworthy of consideration. The political left views the political right as immoral for holding the beliefs they do. If you oppose … [Read more...]
In the days of old, American politicians could disagree yet still compromise with one another and get the job done. Unfortunately, since the election of President George W. Bush I have seen a dramatic change in discourse from those from the political left. It's not simply that the two sides … [Read more...]
A cache of guns was seized in Bridgeport, CT after a months long trafficking investigation. Many -- if not most -- of the firearms were illegal. Included among the weapons was ammunition capable of penetrating the body armor used by police. (WTNH) -- Among the weapons seized were an illegal Street … [Read more...]
I decided to check the health insurance exchange for my State to see just how affordable health insurance would be if I was to enroll. Turns out I couldn't afford the least expensive plan at all. Seriously, I couldn't. Who can afford $736 a month, roughly $8,840 annually? On top of that, I … [Read more...]
Granted this proof comes from twitter, but it still has discussional merit. Pew Research has noted the Twitter response to the feelings about Obamacare and who is responsible for the government shutdown. Admittedly these aren't necessarily the same people making both claims. However, we should … [Read more...]
The Democrats as a party are more than $18 million in debt and Republicans are sitting on a $12.5 million surplus. I wonder how something like this happens? (CNN) -- The Democrats' numbers speak for themselves: Through August, 10 months after helping President Obama secure a second term, the DNC … [Read more...]
Near the close of Texas Senator Ted Cruz's 21 hour symbolic filibuster protesting the funding of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, fellow Senator Dick Durbin (D - Illinois) challenged Cruz in an attempt to paint him as a hypocrite. SEN. DURBIN: Will the senator from Texas for the record tell … [Read more...]
If the government shuts down -- I don't believe it will -- who will you blame? The Republican plan funds the government to the requests of the President and his political compatriots, except for the ACA (Obamacare). The President and Senate Democrats pledge to vote down and veto any bill that … [Read more...]
The following clip is as sad as it is funny, _____________________________________________________ Let me help Ed Shultz's faith leader on this one. It's 2 Thessalonians 3:10 "For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to … [Read more...]
The Make DC Listen hashtag is more than a protest against President Barack Obama's healthcare law. The fact is a large majority of the American public has been opposed to this law from it's inception. In order to get the nation's attention, Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) is engaging in a token … [Read more...]
I've never understood how Blacks in America can so unwaveringly support the Democrat party writ large given how the party has supported policies which are proven to not be in their best interest. If you are Black in America especially in a large city, being born is literally a crap shoot. And … [Read more...]
Every so often Pew Research releases a News IQ quiz to see how much you know about recent current events. It's fun to see what you know and what you think you know. I missed 1 of 13 (question 8). … [Read more...]
In what way is President Barack Obama's approach and plan for action in Syria different from President George W. Bush's approach and plan for action in Iraq, morally speaking? Or is there no difference? … [Read more...]
I have always asserted that America's prison population is over and above other similar nations for a few reasons. One of which is that prison is not uncomfortable enough for the prisoners. Internet access, television, access to higher education at the taxpayer's expense, etc. Don't get me wrong, … [Read more...]
A Pew Research survey polled people asked people whether they believed Blacks are treated less fair than Whites. Apparently most people believe they are. I am prone to believe there are more isolated anecdotal incidents than wholesale unfairness. But even in many of the cases, I don't think it's … [Read more...]
For those on the political left, voter ID laws are a somewhat contentious subject. The vocal liberals insist they are an attempt to suppress the minority vote. For some reason it goes unnoticed that this implies minorities are either unable to figure out how to obtain a photo identification, or … [Read more...]
I think it's a legitimate question: Who is prevented from voting who wants to and is legally eligible to do so? Even voter ID laws are not as prohibitive as they're portrayed to be. The political left suggests minorities have a more difficult time obtaining proper identification. Why is that? Is … [Read more...]
