Coward- Update- Congressman Cummings Responds

By Jim Vicevich | February 19, 2009 |

AG Eric Holder speaking to the employees of the Justice Department yesterday called America a nation of “cowards”. I had t listen to this a couple times to actually figure what he was talking about. Could he be talking about a refusal to discuss race relations openly? Surely not that. Since Obama’s run for the…

Biden won’t let Obama take his guns – or ours

By Steve McGough | February 18, 2009 |

My first thought when I heard about Biden’s statement concerning firearm ownership was – I’ll bet my last dollar he was not in San Fransisco, Seattle, Chicago or New York. No way. Biden stated, “I guarantee you Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns, so don’t buy that malarkey.” Author note: While I’m away from the…

I knew Ronald Reagan and you are no Ronald Reagan

By Jim Vicevich | February 18, 2009 |

Larry Elder, one of my talk show heroes and the man who coined the phrase “Republitarian”, was a guest on the O’Reilly Factor last night and does a great job of explaining, factually, why government spending did not pull America out of the Great Depression nor will it work this time. What’s more he takes…

Obligatory link to the “How Obama got elected” video

By Steve McGough | February 17, 2009 |

I’m not a big fan of man-on-the-street political interviews by radio and TV shows. Generally, they pick out the people who give funny or uninformed answers and play the answers for laughs. The video, provided in this post, is a bit different. It’s edited in a biased way, but the effort by John Ziegler at How…

Audit Congress

By Jim Vicevich | February 16, 2009 |

Well you knew it had to happen sooner or later. Some of you have already suggested it and I can’t say its a bad idea. Have you paid your taxes lately? If you said “yes” then you are in good company.  Millions of Americans not only struggle with the duty of following a convoluted tax code,…

Dodd As Victim

By Jim Vicevich | February 16, 2009 |

Well why not. Everyone’s a victim these days of something. Attorney General Dick Blumenthal (D, because we name that party), who’s office is investigating Countrywide’s dealings in Connecticut, addresses the Chris Dodd (D) Countrywide loan scandal on Hartford TV Channel 3, WFSB, Sunday morning. Anchor Dennis House asks the AG (D) how Dodd (D), chairman…

Wesley Clark Throws Obama Under the Bus

By Steve McGough | February 16, 2009 | Comments Off on Wesley Clark Throws Obama Under the Bus

How else can you explain it? Four years ago, the Democrat elite were saying that only someone with prior military experience could bring the United States out of the at-war condition we were in. Of course Wesley Clark was one of those candidates, but as it turned out, John Kerry reported for duty and pretty…

Compare and contrast – McCain and Obama on The View

By Steve McGough | February 15, 2009 |

As Jim Vicevich mentions, The View isn’t really considered a news program, but if you’re wondering who most of the “cast” will be voting for, you need not go further than these video clips. Author note: While I’m away from the computer, I’m republishing my top 20 posts from 2008 each afternoon. -Steve Jim’s been getting a bunch…

Simply Giddy

By Jim Vicevich | February 15, 2009 |

Congresswoman Maxine Waters on This Week discusses the possibility of nationalizing some banks. She says, no doubt in defference to Senator Graham, “but not yet”. Disturbing. But wait there’s more.

We’re Screwed

By Jim Vicevich | February 15, 2009 |

Congresswoman Maxine Waters thinks bipartisanship is removing pork. Senator Schumer thinks adding a fix to the AMT is bipartisanship. Senator Graham … “We’re screwed” and he doesn’t mean the Republicans. Feel free to comment. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVyE2jRmGZg Bipartisanship is including the opposition in the drafting of the bill and accepting some ideas of others as your own. Eliminating pork in…
