Department of Peacebuilding

I almost don't even know how to start this.  Democrat Barbra Lee (D-California) has proposed a bill to create a federal Department of Peacebuilding.  And no, I haven't been taken in by the Onion or the Daily Current. (The Hill) -- House Democrats led by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) have introduced … [Read more...]

Below is a photo of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden that is simply begging to be captioned.  Have at it. … [Read more...]

Obama Administration: “Criminal” = “Minority”

Even though most employers ask applicants about their criminal history, I'm not sure how many actually conduct a criminal background check.  As far as I'm concerned, employers ought to be permitted to hire any individual they deem most qualified, and reject any individual they deem unqualified. … [Read more...]

Are Democrat Politicians just bad with money?

The debt has increased under President Barack Obama's watch by 60% to $16 trillion.  As bad as that is, it seems that it's a problem which seems to follow Democrats. (Politico) -- [The] Democratic Party ended the 2012 cycle with a debt of $21.5 million, according to a new filing with the Federal … [Read more...]

Gays more equal than straights

How does homosexuality affect straight people?  I suppose it all depends on who you ask.  If you ask a military member, the answer might be: significantly.  In the wake of the administration's lift on the ban of openly gay and lesbian men and women serving in the military, the Department of Defense … [Read more...]

Legitimate rapist?

Don't worry ladies, if you think you're about to be raped just use your whistle, a call box, or a safe zone.  You shouldn't be permitted to carry a gun because you don't know if you're about to be a victim of a legitimate rape. Hey, remember when the media and the political Left went nuts when the … [Read more...]

Musings of a low info voter: Some things that should NEVER be “PRIVATIZED” in a Democracy

I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Democratic Underground, but it's hilarious!  I swear, if I didn't already know these were real people who actually believe the things they write, you couldn't convince me it wasn't a satire site like the Onion, or the Daily Currant -- you know, the … [Read more...]

Obama’s oil buddies

Anyone with a car knows the financial pain of having to fill their gas tanks.  The cost of gasoline has been rising for what seems to be forever.  I remember when gas prices were high like this some time back when George W. Bush was president.  It was said that the cost of oil and gasoline were … [Read more...]

I am a Constitution Voter?

Living in New England I'm used to being surrounded by those on the opposite end of the political spectrum from myself.  Liberals, more often than Conservatives, like to advertize their liberalism in the form of bumper stickers.  Here's one such self-congratulating Liberal I found while at … [Read more...]

Priorities…

Pew Research releases every so often a poll of what Americans consider priorities for the country. Here's what I would find amusing if it weren't so sad: In the president's first term, his policies weakened the economy, weakened the job situation (for every job created, more than 20 people went on … [Read more...]

If Liberals had their way…

And before anyone wants to challenge the thought that Liberals don't try to condition girls while they're young to become morally numb to abortion, they persistently fight parental notification laws requiring a child's parents know that their daughter is, 1) sexually active and, 2) their daughter is … [Read more...]

So God made a Liberal…

If you find yourself on the Conservative end of the political spectrum, this is pretty amusing.  If not, you'll roll your eyes and probably won't finish watching it, because it won't be funny to you.  Either way, Conservatives: enjoy it.  Liberals: learn to laugh at yourselves once in a while. … [Read more...]

Proud Democrat indeed…

I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt and assume that this is someone posing as a "Proud Democrat".  Of course it would be easier to give that benefit if I didn't know people (not necessarily Democrats) who were this... let's just say, special. Either way, this person cancels out someone's … [Read more...]

Background checks might not be the answer to gun violence

When the gun control debate first manifested and suggestions were being made, I was on board -- hesitantly -- with instituting background checks for firearm purchases.  On its surface it sounds reasonable, right? We should check to see if a potential gun purchaser is a felon (I agree) or has a … [Read more...]

On the road to Utopia

I snapped these photos whilst out and about not long ago.  It really sheds light on the mindset of the person who would re-elect President Obama to a second term given the abysmal conditions with which we find our nation.  Mind you, the bumper stickers have been on this vehicle for at least three … [Read more...]

Abortion and the Second Amendment

Let's discuss one's right to choose.  Of course which side of the political aisle you find yourself on determines which choices you like to exercise.  If I may generalize a bit here, the political Left generally and full-heartedly support unfettered choice when it comes to abortion, but not so much … [Read more...]

Gun Free Zones: Put your money where your mouth is

It seems those of a certain political bent believe in in the effectiveness of "Gun Free Zones".  Well, it's time to put up or shut up.  The White House has received a petition to replace the U.S. Secret Service protection for the President and Vice President with "Gun Free Zones". Heh. (H/T: WZ) … [Read more...]

Standards will be lowered for women in combat

As of now, military officials are assuring the public that the physical and agility standards will not be lowered for women who might serve in combat.  My first instinct is to believe that is the intention, a good intention, but one which will not last.  You can be assured that the standards are … [Read more...]

This is what you voted for

It goes without saying that I still am flabbergasted that President Obama won re-election despite his shoddy handling of the economy.  But here's a look at just how shoddy he he's been.  This is what you voted for. 1 “Long-term unemployed” means for over 26 weeks; data for January 2009 and … [Read more...]
