Fundraising from the White House: compare and contrast
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…
Read MoreMemo to Republican candidates: Making nice not Reagan’s style
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…
Read MoreMatthews gets a thrill, again. A thrill, not a tingle. Got That!
Too much. As my son and I watched this last night we both had to chuckle. No, not that he still gets a thrill … but that he had to correct his guest. Ha.
Read MoreDo we still know the freedoms intended for us by the founding fathers? UPDATE: Thomas Sowell
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…

Read MoreHappy Anniversary Germany. Thank you Mr. Reagan
On November 9, 1989, the East German Government announced that its citizens could freely visit West Germany and West Berlin. It came after several weeks of protests by East German citizens who yearned for the kind of freedom that the west enjoyed. It also marked the end of a 28 year old blockade that was…
Read MoreConfronting Iran: Obama, Lieberman, and Reagan
Some people get it. Some leaders understand that leadership requires courage. It also requires a conviction in principles … in this case that freedom is universal and needs to be defended. Tyranny needs to be confronted and defeated. That victory rarely goes to the timid. With that in mind … here is Obama’s response last…
Read MoreSenator, You Are Scaring Me
This is a classic interview and you need to watch the whole four minutes. Please! Senator Robert Menendez spouting the Obama claim that his tax rates will be lower than under Ronald Reagan which is patently false. The Reagan administration cut taxes from a top rate of 70% to 28%. Cavuto calls Menendez on this and what…
Read MoreReagan didn’t need to be tested
After Biden’s comment about Obama being tested within the first six months if elected, I noted that the vice presidential candidate mentioned Kennedy – most likely referring to the Cuban missile Crisis – but didn’t mention other more recent presidents that were tested.
