Øbama’s “truth squads” should be more truthfully named “Pravda squads”

By Dimsdale / February 15, 2012 /

Once again, Øbama’s “truth squads” are being publicized to, as David Axelrod says, “When the truth and facts are under assault, this will be a helpful tool to set things straight.”  The use of the word “truth” implies that only the “truth team” has the “truth” and the GOP does not, and need to be…

The Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street

By SoundOffSister / November 15, 2011 /

About 10 months ago, Illinois passed what some believe to be the largest tax increase in the state’s history.  This was on top of a tax rate in Illinois that already was one of the highest in the country.  I don’t know whether Governor Pat Quinn (D.) followed this up by proudly announcing that Ilinois was open for business,…

By Jim Vicevich / October 25, 2011 /

Honestly, I wouldn’t bet on it, but if it is to be so, in a strange, awesomely macabre way, I will miss them.

Fundraising from the White House: compare and contrast

By Jim Vicevich / June 29, 2011 /

I’m not sure this is much different than using coffees in the White House, or renting out the Lincoln bedroom as a way of raising funds for a political campaign. But it’s a stretch to say what Pres. Obama is doing right now to raise money for the Democratic Party is the same as what…

Memo to Republican candidates: Making nice not Reagan’s style

By Jim Vicevich / June 22, 2011 /

Heard a portion of this on Rush yesterday. Saw a longer segment on Jim Hoft’s site. Then read the entire speech at American Rhetoric and now I pass it on to you. Ronald Reagan’s greatness shines brightly in this campaign speech given on Labor Day in 1980. He takes on Carter head on. Video below…
