Here’s what we are up against: Stupid. Vulgar. Arrogant. A deadly combo. Did I mention stupid? Via RebelPundit and The Blaze.
So, it has been said that our public university system does not help in turning our students “liberal.” Well, this may be, but there is a great deal of research to suggest this is not the case: that our public universities do indeed indoctrinate our students into the Leftist mindset: Systematic Practice of Political Indoctrination…
I have many things to take responsibility for, but possibly the most grievous sin that I committed against you all (I really wanted to say “y’all”) was my assertion that we must factor electability into the selection of our candidate. I bent my own philosophical leanings to allow me to come out in support of…
I’ve been saying this for a while… and I still have people tell me I’m full of it. Well…we’ll just see… won’t we? “If we’re (lucky Medicaid is) 20 to 30 cents on the dollar from what we get from insurance rates. Obamacare cuts $716 billion from Medicare. The way that’s implemented is it will…
No doubt you’ve seen this story: Reid moves to limit GOP filibuster But have you seen this one? If not, you really need to watch the video clip — really: Flashback: Obama, Reid and Top Democrats Defend Filibuster Rule Now, I honestly, sincerely mean this: I am not speaking with any animosity or malfeasance in…
In comments of another thread: “Joe” just stated this: And with that last comment, James confirms what we on the Right have known for some time: “Statesmanship,” “civility,” “compromise” and “bipartisanship” are ALL defined as agreeing with the Left — period. “James” replied with this: “And with that last comment, James confirms what we on…
Recently, I put up a post that introduced the premise that the issues we face as we seek to further a conservative movement are structural. Purely from the standpoint of a “function of the Constitution” perspective, that is true. The evisceration of the Tenth Amendment via ratification of the Seventeenth is an impediment to the…
At Drudge via Fox: McDonald’s Corp. says a key sales figure fell in October, marking the first monthly drop in nearly a decade for the world’s biggest hamburger chain. The company, based in Oak Brook, Ill., says global sales at restaurants open at least a year fell 1.8 percent for the month. The last…
Vote was astronomical for Obama in some Philadelphia wards From Philadelphia, Philly.com: Some Philadelphia neighborhoods outdid themselves in Tuesday’s presidential election. In a city where President Obama received more than 85 percent of the votes, in some places he received almost every one. In 13 Philadelphia wards, Obama received 99 percent of the vote or…
Recently, I wrote a post asking for Obama supporters who are reading the RNL to help me by explaining and clarifying some questions I had about some fiscal issues facing our nation. Sadly, I didn’t receive many replies to my plea for help. Maybe there aren’t as many Obama readers on the RNL as I…
These images are from National Geographic here. Now from a Vegas Employer who just laid off nearly 20 % of his workforce, here. “I’ve done my share of educating my employees. I never tell them which way to vote. I believe in the free system we have, I believe in the right to choose who…
Just a few minutes ago I was reading a comment by Guy (thatmrgguy, aka Mike, but whom I refer to as Guy) and it sparked a neuron in my 7%. (I like sparks.) Yesterday morning when Mr. Kells and I were driving our son to school, (we had a teacher conference, but that’s another story)…
If you happen to be among those who do not believe in God, or who are of a different faith, I will respect your belief, but I ask that you return that respect and allow me to speak to those who call themselves by Christ’s name…please. If you call yourself Christian, you need to pay…
The old saying states that when you hear hoofbeats approaching you don’t expect zebras, you think “horses”. Wikipedia relates the etymology of the term: The term derives from the aphorism “When you hear hoofbeats behind you, don’t expect to see a zebra”, which was coined in a slightly modified form in the late 1940s by Dr. Theodore Woodward, a…
Re-posted from December 31, 2011. I wanted to bring this back up because I am too lazy to write another post about what we face. Little has changed from this New Year’s Eve post except we now have a president who is unfettered and unconstrained by the prospect of re-election. I’ve been giving thought to…
The left isn’t interested in fairness or civility in pursuit of their goals, so why should we be? Take the situation at Ole Miss (the University of Mississippi), 30 miles from my hometown. The press is blowing this situation out of proportion because the connection between Ole Miss, James Meredith and racism in the 50’s…
