The official results are in for the New Hampshire primary election and Mitt Romney’s campaign has made history as the first candidate to win both the Iowa caucus and the first primary that followed since the 1970′s. Romney won with 39.4% of the vote, Paul came in second with 22.8% and Jon Huntsman finishing in third with 16.8%. Newt Gingrich took distant fourth with 9.4% and the second place finisher in Iowa Rick Santorum dropped to fifth earning 9.3%. Seventh place took 1.5% of the vote was consumed by a …
As Ron Paul has risen in the polls, so has the frequency of attacks against him. “Any stick will do to beat a dog” goes the old saying, and the whacks against Paul range from reasonable to ridiculous. Expect the attacks to continue. Expect them to get more ridiculous.
And expect the worst attacks to come from Republicans.
Let’s cut the crap. The GOP establishment’s main beef with Ron Paul is his foreign policy. This ideological chasm is the subtext to most attacks on Paul from the right. To their credit, some …
For the last two years, the main talking point of the Republican party has been to attack Obamacare as unconstitutional and wrong for America. The argument is a strong one and as it gets repeated day in and day out on every news outlet in America, it seems unnecessary to repeat the viewpoint here. The Democrats who whole-heatedly support Obamacare have numerous talking points they use to counter the GOP. They are also overused and you know them by heart. But there is one of these retorts I want …
As you all know by now, Jon Huntsman did not get our endorsement for POTUS, that claim goes to Ron Paul. And although we have discussed our disagreements with Gov. Huntsman, we have said that he is a smart individual and seems pretty honest and straight-forward, which is something to respect.
Last night at the 9/22 Florida FoxNews/Google Debate, Huntsman did a wonderful thing in confronting the war-mongering neo-con, Rick Santorum. The issue over which the confrontation took form was the one about which Santorum is most passionate – our …
I want to extend my sincerest sympathy to all the families that were directly affected by the attack perpetrated on New York City and the American psyche one decade ago. We all remember exactly where we were, and what we were doing when we learned of the attack. Furthermore, the way we live our lives has changed dramatically since that day. We now accept TSA screening at the airports as a given, but I remember a time when anyone could walk right to the gate in order to meet …
As soon as Americans hear a single stanza of DUELING BANJOS, they cannot avoid the Pavlovian reflex of imagining Burt Reynolds and his friends canoeing down a remote Georgia river. I challenge you NOT to think about Ned Beatty struggling to crawl up a muddy hillside near the river’s edge. Like it or not, that movie has left an indelible mark on the American psyche. Wikipedia says, Deliverance was well received by critics and is widely regarded as one of the best films of 1972. The film was …
Well Hurricane Irene has passed but has left incredible damage in the east. I always find destructive weather interesting in the way people perceive it. Often some Christians decide it is Gods wrath on a nation, or town or trailer park depending on which God is most mad at, at the time. By the way if you live in a trailer park within tornado or hurricane vicinity you pretty much can count on being destroyed at least once in your lifetime.
Trailer parks are like bait to tornados, they are …
Extreme Tea
The prolonged and heated debate over whether or not to raise the debt ceiling continues to be blamed on a Tea Party that is “too extreme.” However, what the controversy has really proven is that the movement should become even more extreme.
Even though the deal between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner doesn’t feature any significant reform or real cuts — it will actually increase the national debt by $7 trillion — the Democrats still find it Draconian, while many Republicans oppose it, believing it doesn’t …
There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy: hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny.
- Frederick William Robertson
fraud – noun – deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage.
It is probable that most of the subscribers to this newsletter have borrowed money to purchase a house at least once. For decades this process has been a crucial step in achieving the American Dream. The path to a home with a white picket fence has always started by filling …
The term “isolationist” is much like the word “racist” in that it has become almost useless due to its overuse. For example, if the Left rightly considers Ku Klux Klan members racist—but also members of the Tea Party who merely criticize President Obama “racist”—such a glaring logical disparity cries out for a reassessment of terminology. A word that can mean anything can quickly become meaningless—and it also becomes a great rhetorical weapon in a political environment that substitutes smears for thoughtful debate.
Such was the case at the Wall Street …
