There’s a Storm Coming

By Craig Andresen on April 21, 2011

The immigration issue is brewing up a storm and nobody’s sounding the alarm. It’s off the front page and buried in the newscasts but, it’s lurking and it’s building.

Over the last several months, uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa, budget and debt concerns at home, unions against the private sector flair ups, rising fuel prices and inflation and natural disasters have all taken the spotlight while illegal immigration has all but vanished as a headline story.

The Great Unifier Increases Party Chasm

By Patty Ewing Robichaud, April 14, 2001

Dan Gainor – Vice President for Business and Culture at Media Research Center, tweeted, “A great presidential speech instills a sense of national purpose. That one sapped a nation’s will to live.”

About 15 minutes into his speech, the Great “Unifier” and Chief, Obama, made a point of referencing GOP Rep. Paul Ryan’s proposed budget, remarking it was “embraced by several of their party’s presidential candidates.”

Independent Impact

By Craig Andresen on April 14, 2011

Donald Trump has made a lot of noise over the last couple of weeks regarding the birth certificate issue which has propelled him to the top of many polls of possible GOP contenders. As I have said before, Trump is unelectable as his background, numerous bankruptcy filings, marriages and business dealings would preclude him as a serious candidate.

There is also his history of donations to democrat candidates in the past including his donation to Rahm Emanuel’s mayoral bid in Chicago. Add to that, Trump’s past advocacy of Obama and frankly, no matter WHAT he brings to show and tell in his investigation of Obama’s past, at best, Trump is a RINO and the conservatives will have little to do with him in the long run.

Mis-Underestimated

By John Brewer on April 12, 2011

A funny thing happened on the way to serenity the other night: I dropped by for a quick look at my Facebook page to see what was up, to see if anything was new, to discover that some of my friends–propelled by the offal-slinging rotors of ever-mounting and oscillating media coverage about a looming campaign season–were engaged in wall-to-wall combat. At first, I was pulled in as a spectator and nothing else; that is to say, there are moments when I truly believe I’ve had my fill of contentious political slingery, moments when I’d rather just sink back into my settee, pull the plugs (earplugs, that is!), and let the steam whistle from my drums…moments when I’d much rather think of something else, something else like the health and happiness of my parents and siblings, something else like the wonderfulness of my daughter, something else like the well-being of a dear friend up North, something else like the probability of my beloved Cubbies ever managing to win a World Series before my time on this Earth is through.

Who’s to Blame?

By Jennifer Stephens on April 11, 2011

So, the Media and Liberals want to blame the GOP, and especially the Tea Party, for this budget mess/pending Government Shutdown. Let’s look at that…

This budget was due September 30, 2010 – more than 6 months ago. Back in August and September of 2010 (when the budget should have been passed) the Democrats had the Majority in both the House and Senate. With those Majorities, they could have passed a budget they liked. They didn’t. They knew that the GOP/Tea Party would win the House in the mid-terms. (They didn’t want to admit it publicly, but they knew it.) They knew that could lead to this stalemate on the budget, and that they would them be able to blame the GOP, and even more so the Tea Party they hate so much, for the stalemate. Some would say the Dumbocrats aren’t smart enough to plan that far ahead. Yes, they are sneaky and clever enough to do just that; and I believe they did.

Troops$ or Abortion$

By Craig Andresen on April 8, 2011

Right now, Harry Reid in the senate, argues that the hold up on a stop gap spending bill that would fund the military through the end of the fiscal year and the rest of government for another week, is not valid and should not be considered because of a lack of funding for title 10.

Call it what it REALLY is Harry Reid. Title 10 does NOT receive tax payer funding. Planned Parenthood Does. You are NOT holding this up over title 10 your ARE holding it up over the defunding of Planned Parenthood.

To claim otherwise is, at best, disingenuous and more accurately, a transparent deception of the American people.

Can Barak Trump Donald?

By Craig Andresen on April 4, 2011

From the time of his election, and yes, in fact, since his nomination, there have been questions regarding Barak Obama’s citizenship. The constitution is clear, “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

 

If one thing is clear regarding Obama and the liberal/socialist machine which protects him it is that they have established a pattern with their tactics. To see this tactic, one needs to step back and look at individual issues.

April Fools

By Jennifer Stephens on April 1, 2011

Let’s listen in on a very important meeting between Obama and Biden…

BO: Joe, I don’t understand why my approval ratings are so low. I’ve followed through on my campaign promises of giving people Change and Hope. What more do they want than for me to keep my campaign promises?

Democrats wanted change, and I gave them change. The House changed from Democratic majority to Republican majority. Are they mad I didn’t get the Senate to change majority as well? I made sure a lot of the Governorships changed from Democratic to Republican.

I did change the economy…

Indirectly Speaking

By John Brewer on April 1, 2011

Our beloved President has established a precedent which is un-precedented in the realm of job creation. Barack Obama, whose signature achievement thus far has been a signature on a 4-digited (neologisim) dimwittery of signatorily and liberally signifying directions which would weigh down heavily and oppressively and abruptly and un-precedently—never mind, “un-Presidentially” on the United States of America Health-Care Market, has now divined that his divine signature was un-accountably pre-divined, if not faultlessly approved through means of a, his, signature.

Please Hand Our “Leader” a Shovel

By Craig Andresen on March 29, 2011

In what I consider to be a “Too little too late” speech concerning our “kinetic action” (a redundancy) against Libya, President Obama failed to, as he so often utters, “Make perfectly clear” many things that must be known.

He failed to explain just WHO the Libyan rebels really are. I believe it’s NOT because he doesn’t know. I believe it’s because he DOES know. We have heard from 1 or 2 who consider themselves “leaders” of the rebel forces that, in part, they have been backed by…Al Qaeda. It is certainly not beyond comprehension that the Muslim Brotherhood is also involved. One must take into account that while not WELL armed, those rebels ARE armed with small arms, RPG’s and anti aircraft guns. Where do you think those came from?
