Our Billion Dollar President

So far it has cost nearly one billion dollars to get Barack Obama elected and inaugurated. That has to be a record breaker. Think how much money that is per vote for him. Whew! And with the stimulus package he is proposing, he won’t be in office a week before he is nearly a two [...]

And to the republic…

I am reminded of the picture painted by Jacques-Louis David of the coronation of Napolean. The general who was to become emperor placed the crown on his own head, Charlemagne be damned, and thus the first French Republic was gone. France was the sister republic of the United States, which resisted dictatorship. Haiti, another republic, [...]

Gays in the Gulag and Other Futuristic Tales

Someone I know only through Facebook but to whom I donated $10 to go as a delegate for Hillary Clinton to the Democratic National Convention, and who returned as an Obamabot, sent me a card yesterday. It was a picture of the Obama family and two pins with a picture of the Obama family on [...]

My Sin

God knows, I am a sinner. Like all people I disobey God, or I fall into periods where my love for Him is not foremost in my mind. I feel anger, pride, jealousy. And these are all wrong. Although my religion (Catholicism) teaches that there are venial and mortal sins, I do believe any act [...]

Obama denied job in his own administration

Obama’s Willing Executioners

Barack Obama was elected with euphoria on the part of his supporters on Nov. 4, 2008. So starry-eyed was one of my friends he told me, “I think Barack Obama may prove to be one of the greatest presidents in American history.”  Then Prop 8 passed. And the news media reported that 7 out of [...]

The Power of a Positive No

I have been reading a book by William Ury called The Power of a Positive No: Save the Deal, Save the Relationship–and Still Say No. I do not know what Ury’s politics are, so please note that this post is not about his politic position, but rather it is about mine.
Ury writes in his book [...]

The Fix is In–Will Democrats Stand for It?

Democrats are almost evenly divided between Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton, and yet the media would have us believe Obama is a “juggernaut.” Now the DNC expects us to take lying down a clear fix in Obama’s favor. Who ran the rules committee–the Chicago machine?
Any Democrat ought to be outraged by the way the Michigan [...]

Hillary Wins! (2nd. ed.)

I thought someone ought to point this out, since all the major newspapers seem to be placing it in the next to last paragraph of their paeans to Obama. Hillary blew out Kentucky last night, just like she did West Virginia!
Obamaphiles will say, “So what? She can’t win. He has more pledged delegates.” Indeed. The [...]
