41-10

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

NCSU whallops UNC 41-10.  I’m a happy camper. Where the winds of Dixie softly blow o’er the fields of Caroline, There stands ever cherished, N.C. State, as thy honored shrine So lift your voices! Loudly sing from hill to oceanside! Our hearts ever hold you, N.C. State in the folds of our love and pride. [...]

Pat Buchanan nails it

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Pat Buchanan has put into words a great expanation of how the United States has killed the Auto Industry. Japan, China and South Korea do not believe in free trade as we understand it. To us, they are our “trading partners.” To them, the relationship is not like that of Evans & Novak or Fred [...]

Bailing Out The Big 3 Automakers…

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

While I am furious at the bank bailout, I am sympathetic to a bailout of the big 3 automakers.  Comparing the two are like comparing apples and oranges.  Whereas the banks made foolish decisions that doomed them and they should pay, the plight of our automakers are not solely of their own making.  They get [...]

More on Fixing the GOP

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

I agree with Bobby jindal’s comments here: “As Republicans, we need to do three things to get back on track,” he said on CBS’ Face The Nation. “Number one, we have got to stop defending the kind of spending and out-of-control spending that we would never tolerate in the other side. You know, when voters [...]

Jonah Goldberg sums up the Bush Years

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

I think that Jonah Goldberg nails it here… Dissent from Bush was muted for years, in large part because of 9/11 and the Iraq war. Conservatives, right or wrong, rallied to support their president, particularly in the face of shrill partisan attacks from Democrats who seemed more interested in tearing down the commander in chief [...]

The Will of the People…

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

I have been thinking, over the past several years, there has been a lot of talk about the “Will of the People”, but what exactly does that mean?  The popular vote?  We have Arnold Schwarzeneeger openly talking about how to undo California’s Proposition 8, which was passed by the popular vote. The idea of the [...]

I Am Legend

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Or, at least it feels like it.  Every time I get on the inernet, there’s some brainwashed Obamamaniac spouting off the hopechange mantra.  Has the world gone totally insane?  The man’s tax plan pretty much boils down to “Soak the Rich” – how is this good for anybody? MR. GIBSON: And in each instance, when [...]

John Hawkins is right again…

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Just take a look back at Mitch McConnell’s so-called “leadership.” McConnell supported amnesty in the Senate and even after it failed, he led the way in bringing it back. How many millions of dollars and votes did that finger in the eye of conservatives cost the Party in 2008? The GOP’s support of the bailout [...]

So, Obama won…

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

So, Obama won the election.  It was no big surprise.  As I said in 2007, and it’s still true today, the Republican party has abandoned it’s principles and it’s no surprise that they took a shellacking. I agree with John Hawkins when he said: 4) Moderates may not know a lot about politics, but they [...]
