Obama’s Port in a Storm?

Posted on by

For days now, the news has been full of predictions…Hurricane predictions. Irene has been bearing down on our east coast as it crossed the Bahamas. You never really know with a hurricane…category 3, category 4, category 2…as they move they gain and lose power but, all the computer models showed this one WAS going to hit the coast at SOME strength.

This storm was so immense that when it hit and as it rolled up the coast, it would affect nearly 20% of all Americans. There would be flooding, wind damage, coastal erosion and mass power outages from North Carolina to Boston.

We have known of this storm and its potential for damage for nearly a week. Emergency officials in those areas expected to be hit and hit hard, ordered mandatory evacuations, ordered extra body bags, issued stern warnings that if you stayed, and then needed help, it would not be coming to you because you were told to leave and you didn’t.

Restoring the Trust of Our Founders

Posted on by

Clearly, the Constitution defines the qualifications for one to become the President but are these the only qualifications which should be met? By law, yes. By rational thought, no. This is where those who believe in absolute strict adherence to the rule of the constitution and those who believe common sense should have a role may differ – but I contend that the two, strict adherence and common sense, can and must be used in tandem.

The Constitution tells us the following:

 

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution sets the principal qualifications one must meet to be eligible to the office of president. A president must:

As Dictators Fall, Who Should Be Worried Now?

Posted on by

Listening to the rhetoric from the left lately has been interesting, very interesting. It’s nothing new, same old same old as they say – but, when put into context, it could be taken as, ominous.

First, one has to realize what it is the liberals fear most. Liberals always focus their actions and words against what it is that threatens their hold on power. It they don’t perceive it as a threat, they simply just leave it be.

Liberals always try to make what they fear the most, what they feel threatened by seem vile and they craft their rhetoric to emphasize that viewpoint in hopes of rallying their base toward some sort of action.

Liberals resort to name calling. It’s the last resort of discourse for many and a non starter for most capable of using truth and fact to make their point but for liberals, it’s often the first volley.

A Reckoning, Not In but FROM Wisconsin

Posted on by

The vote in Wisconsin yesterday which placed 6 republicans up for recall by a liberal base infuriated over the successful legislation put forth in April limiting collective bargaining by unions was NOT a shot over the bow, not a referendum and not a precursor. It was a reckoning.

4 of the 6 republican senators held their seats in Wisconsin. Of those who lost, Dan Kapanke won his seat in a heavily democratic district by a very narrow margin last November and was in the greatest danger of losing this recall and Randy Hopper faced the ire of democrats for his support of the April legislation as well as from republicans who have been rightfully rankled over his tribulations regarding an affair with a young staffer outside his marriage.

This recall vote and the GOP success in it should send a clear message to liberals for several reasons.

The Obama Plan Finally Revealed

Posted on by

The Obama plan for the economy is now clear. It’s a 3 part plan.

1)      Retreat

2)      Lecture

3)      Campaign

That’s it…lock stock and barrel. It’s as easy as 1,2,3…A,B,C…

On Friday, S&P dropped the United States from the AAA rating we’ve held since 1917. We held AAA through the 1ts World War…through the Great Depression…through the 2nd World War…through the malaise of Jimmy Carter. The United States has been able to withstand everything thrown at her…everything until…Obama.

Winners, Losers and the Lack of Leadership

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen 7-31-11

In a week and a weekend when the war of words in Washington DC rose to extreme caliber as deadlines approached and rhetoric led the day, there were indeed winners and losers.

While the American people are still looking for leadership from the hallowed halls and the White House few if any feel like winners. Congress continues to conduct their business regardless of the prevailing wishes of We The People. In recent polls, 66% of the people have indicated THEY want or demand a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

The Entitlement Mentality of Liberals

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen on March 17, 2011

The term “Entitlement mentality” has been used often over the years by republicans to describe democrats. It is not just a coined phrase. It is more than just based in reality. It is a stone cold harsh truth.

Before the Obama administration, the term “entitlement mentality” flew mostly below the radar. It was used in interviews and more often than not in debate or discussions when the conservative combatant wanted to level a charge against an opponent. It was a buzz phrase…a lightning rod of sorts. That is no longer the case. This administration has embraced the entitlement mentality and taken it from a footnote to center stage.
