The Party of “NO”?

It's just over a year since President Barack Obama won the U.S. presidential elections. A full year, you would assume, for the Republican Party to lick its wounds, put country first and help the new president get the country up and running as it tries to recover from...the worst recession in many decades.

A Nation of Cynics

Just two weeks into the Obama administration, naysayers are already pronouncing the man and his administration a failure! And the reason, his promise to institute ethics reform and the revelation that some of his nominees had lapsed tax payments. That’s right. The same group who sat idly by, and in most cases were accomplices...

A Nation of Hand-Wringers

Now that the elections have been fought and won by a once improbable candidate, Americans have quickly reverted to type – worrying about everything and nothing on how the new president will govern.

The Poverty of Ideas in the Republican Party: Part 2

“Those who have had a chance for four years and could not produce peace should not be given another chance.” – Richard Nixon “No way to deny it. The current Republican party hates intelligence and competence. It’s become a Know Nothing spectacle led by Sarah Palin. I will ignore my own years of neglect of...

How Gibbs crushed Hannity

It was a joy to behold on Tuesday October 7, 2008 when Robert Gibbs, an Obama spokesman slapped Sean Hannity all over the television screen and reduced the hate-monger and vomit-inducing talking head to a please-don’t-hit-me quivering fool. It is very astonishing sometimes when we hear the hate that spews from the mouths of...

The New Yorker Endorses Obama

This is worth quoting in full: “Never in living memory has an election been more critical than the one fast approaching—that’s the quadrennial cliché, as expected as the balloons and the bombast. And yet when has it ever felt so urgently true? When have so many Americans had so clear a sense that a Presidency...

The Poverty of Ideas in the Republican Party

“I’m sure John McCain loves his country,”"But loving your country and lying to the American people are apparently not inconsistent in his view.” -Richard Clarke, former counter-terrorism czar “Even if he were mediocre, there are a lot of mediocre judges and people and lawyers. They are entitled to a little representation, aren’t they, and a...

I know how to win wars!

On This September 11

It’s been seven years since the horrible tragedy that was visited on the United States by mindless terrorists and misguided elements. Seven years have gone by when the country lost almost three thousand souls to the attack on 9/11, and seven years have gone by without the major participants in that attack being brought...

We are all Georgians? What the…..

I caught the last phase of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s speech at the GOP Convention today and I must say, there was a reason that idiotic fool did not make it in the Republican presidential primaries. In the first place, that the Republican party that touts itself as holier-than-thou, all-about-family party will...
