The media and the new pope: a study in contrasts, or a study in hypocrisy?

By Dimsdale / March 21, 2013 /

After the media’s breathless run up to the election of Pope Francis, it seems that they taken upon themselves the task of scrutinizing his past.  They are examining everything from his childhood, his education, his role in resisting the Argentinian military dictatorship’s “Dirty War” back in the late seventies through early eighties.  One story from the…

The Age of Divisiveness

By SoundOffSister / September 7, 2010 /

Anyone who disagrees with President Obama has been labeled a “racist”. Those who attend tea parties have been labeled “Nazi”. If you don’t like what this administration has done, and speak out against it, according to the Speaker of the House, you are “unamerican”. Taxes must be raised on the “rich” as, according to our President, they are…

Do we still know the freedoms intended for us by the founding fathers? UPDATE: Thomas Sowell

By Jim Vicevich / August 17, 2010 /

As I have said before and I will say again, this is the most critical election you will likely face in your lifetime. The ones who would rob you of your freedom, your liberty, all in the name of saving us from ourselves, always, and I mean always tell you who they are and what…

Pelosi’s back door pork

By SoundOffSister / August 23, 2011 /

While the Republicans are trying to rein in deficit spending, this administration is doing its darnedest to spend money we don’t have. This time, the beneficiary is San Francisco, home to Representative Nancy Pelosi (D. Ca.).  Here is the most recent scam.

More waivers: San Francisco now sees what is in Obamacare

By SoundOffSister / May 16, 2011 /

Remember former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi’s (D. Ca.), famous statement about Obamacare…”we have to pass the bill before you can see what’s in it”?  Apparently many in San Francisco, the heart of Ms. Pelosi’s district, have now seen what is in Obamacare, and they are not too impressed.

Luntz: We’re gunna have one hell of an election I promise you that ….

By Jim Vicevich / September 29, 2010 /

and when it’s over at least half of America is gunna be pretty angry. So said pollster Frank Luntz last night on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox. Luntz’s live focus groups are always pretty fun, but this one sets a new standard that will be hard to top … or will it? This is well…

A 60 Minutes investigation of Pelosi?

By SoundOffSister / November 3, 2011 /

This is more than a bit strange.  I was looking for something else, and came across this.  Steve Kroft, a trusted fixture of CBS’s 60 Minutes, attended a press conference held by Nancy Pelosi (D. Ca.).  This is more than unusual as neither Mr. Kroft, nor the “regulars” on 60 Minutes typically materialize as such press…

Unemployment insurance creates jobs!

By SoundOffSister / August 11, 2011 /

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D. Ca.) made that statement several months ago. Now, Presidential Press Secretary, Jay Carney, in a recent press conference, is jumping on the same band wagon.   The theory goes that if someone who is unemployed receives a payment from the government, they will spend it, thus boosting the economy and creating jobs.  Let’s…

Pelosi to run for House minority leader – UPDATE (Video): Happy Days!!!!!

By SoundOffSister / November 6, 2010 /

In yet another sign that Democrats seem to be totally clueless about what happened on Tuesday (See: President Obama’s Wednesday press conference and his upcoming Sunday night interview on 60 Minutes), Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D. Ca.) has advised her remaining collegues in the House that she will seek the position of House minority leader come January.

Economic stimulus…a far better idea

By SoundOffSister / July 8, 2010 /

Last week, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D. Ca.) told us, with a straight face, no less, that unemployment benefits create jobs.  Anyone who frequents this blog knows that her comments make absolutely no sense.  But, in a marvelous article in Thursday’s Wall Street Journal, Arthur Laffer explains not only why Ms. Pelosi’s statement is completely…
