Zombie Reagan returns to lead GOP

Posted 31 Oct 2010 in 2010 election, humor, Ronald Reagan

Given my penchant for quoting Reagan lately, a little levity for Halloween seemed fitting. Even if The Gipper came back and started eating people, he’d be a damn sight better than the crowd we’ve got in the White House right now.

Two words about the "Rally to Restore Sanity"

Posted 31 Oct 2010 in communism, Democrats, hypocrisy, intolerance, liberals

It’s more than ironic that those who rally to restore so-called “sanity” were all too quick to engage in the very acrimony and partisanship they were supposedly gathering to denounce. I guess it’s appropriate that this gathering was put on by Comedy Central, because it turned out to be a joke. With a rich, creamy ribbon of fringey trutherism and hatred mixed in. (Videos courtesy of reason.tv and sECULARsTUPIDEST.com) condescending: Displaying a patronizingly superior attitude showing or implying condescension by stooping to the level of one’s inferiors, especially in a patronizing way hypocrisy: a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess. a pretense of having some desirable...

Ronald Reagan’s speech to the 1964 Republican National Convention

Posted 30 Oct 2010 in 2010 election, conservatism, Republicans, responsibility, Ronald Reagan, teaparty

This speech, given by Ronald Reagan in 1964, could just as easily be given today and is just as applicable to our current, albeit worse, situation. How sad is it that we—as a nation—have not learned from our past, and so many in our midst seem to want to not only repeat the mistakes of our forbears, but to adopt the policies of those who used to be America’s enemies. Thank you very much. Thank you and good evening. The sponsor has been identified, but unlike most television programs, the performer hasn’t been provided with a script. As a matter of fact, I have been permitted to choose my own ideas regarding the choice that we face in the...

Shifting gears on Obama’s "Car In The Ditch" analogy

Posted 29 Oct 2010 in 2010 election, Barack Obama, Democrats, economy, socialism

Proof by assertion is a logical fallacy in which a proposition is repeated over and over until everyone accepts it as fact. Another way of saying that is: “A lie told often enough becomes truth.” ~Vladimir Lenin. Like a broken record (or a good little Leninist), President Obama continues to trot out his “Bush drove the car into a ditch” analogy at every campaign speech leading up to this midterm election, hoping voters won’t remember that he was part of the Democrat-led Congress who helped Bush crash the economy with their extravagant spending policies. “They drove the economy into a ditch … We’re pushing and we’re shoving to get the car out of the ditch … The whole time,...

Hopenchange and the erosion of the American spirit

Posted 28 Oct 2010 in 2010 election, conservatism, patriotism

A lot has been said lately about the failure of President Obama’s “hope & change” campaign and the resulting “enthusiasm gap” between Democrats and the Tea Party movement. And when I’ve looked back at all the broken promises and selfish power grabs of this administration, as well as the continued blind support for Obama from several of my friends, it’s caused me to examine just why so many people would cling to a “leader” who so obviously doesn’t understand American history or the values upon which it was founded. I didn’t have to look far to see that this disappointing lapse in collective judgment had been foreseen just a few years ago. President Reagan speaks eloquently about an “erosion...

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare trailer

Posted 27 Oct 2010 in pop culture

Proof that zombies make everything more fun. I just recently finished Red Dead Redemption, but this DLC looks good enough to distract me from Fallout: New Vegas for a few days.

A Look Back at Four Years of Democrat Congressional Majority

Posted 26 Oct 2010 in Congress, Democrats, economy, hypocrisy, intolerance, socialism, stupidity, unemployment

So much for that overhyped “new direction” Americans thought they were getting when they voted for Democrat majorities in both houses of Congress. Elections have consequences. (h/t: benhoweBLOG) Charles Reichley explains why “change and hope” mean something different than it did in 2008. Ronald Reagan asked, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” The answer today is not just no, but heck no. The past four years in which the Democrats have controlled Congress have been a brutal failure compared to the previous four years when Republicans had control. The Democrats want you to ignore this fact, but except for a few months in early 2001, they have controlled one or both houses of Congress for...

A brief roundup of early efforts at voter fraud by Democrats

Posted 26 Oct 2010 in 2010 election, corruption, Democrats, voter fraud

***Scroll down for updates***Despite numerous “accomplishments” by President Obama and the Democrat-led Congress, such as: the “Infinite Bureaucracy Act” known as Obamacare (and the associated hidden taxes associated with it), numerous billion-dollar bailouts and misguided “stimulus”, apologies & appeasement to our enemies and aid to terrorist groups, unprecedented federal takeovers of private industry, an exploding federal debt & a budget deficit which tripled in a single year, and the impending Obama tax hikes, …the Democrat party is running like mad to escape accountability for their record, turning instead to more nefarious methods to “secure” votes by any means necessary. Again. The allegations of voter fraud listed below are just a few of the instances we know about so far....

Obama at Occidental ‘was looking forward to an imminent… revolution, where the working class would overthrow the ruling class’

Posted 25 Oct 2010 in Barack Obama, socialism

For years, we’ve wondered what happened to the transcripts of Obama’s time at Occidental College, Columbia University, and Harvard Law School. Now we know why this chapter in Chairman Zero’s history has been thrown down the Memory Hole, and it’s not just because of this grades. Doug Ross has an exclusive transcript from one of President Obama’s classmates during his time at Occidental College: “I see myself as Barack Obama’s missing link from his exposure to Communism through Frank Marshall Davis and his later exposure to Bill Ayers and Alice Palmer in Chicago. So, as far as I can tell, I’m the only one of Obama’s extended circle of friends who’s spoken out and verified that he was a...
