Dede Deja Vu?

February 6, 2010 – 6:50 am
Republicans across New York are practically salivating at the prospect of turning New York red at the Governor’s mansion, United States Senate, and at tons of state and local races from Broome to Queens County. It’s the kind of excitement that should raise the brow of New York’s Senator Chuck Schumer, former Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, but the GOP need not worry, he’s one of those politicians so self absorbed that if he was playing right field he wouldn’t see a pop-up until it hit him in the face! Schumer is also plenty busy trying to secure his party’s leadership (now that polls show the current majority leader is about to lose his seat in a landslide) and is fully immersed in partisan behind closed door discussions that would, he hopes, transform the shape of American healthcare from a market driven industry to a government-run universal program. The ...

Global Warming Alarmists Pivot Obama

January 31, 2010 – 4:13 am
Undoing all the misinformation and damage that global warming fear mongers have created is a difficult task indeed. Unless you are of the mindset that government control of worldwide energy consumption via taxation and redistribution of wealth is a good thing, you should understand the enormous fraud that has taken place in the world today. Thanks to famous actors and ideologues such as Al Gore, Maurice Strong, Barack Obama and other propagandists, who ensued a campaign more than a decade ago to undermine science, avoid contention, and convince the world that man-made “global warming” will dangerously impact the planet unless the world acts immediately, Americans at the rate of 3 to 1 think man is more responsible for global warming than naturally occurring causes. For the alarmists, acting immediately would mean taxing first corporations, later individuals, for carbon output, then dictating how wealthy, developed nations force and fund ...

“Not True”

January 28, 2010 – 5:24 pm
Before the State of the Union yesterday, I watched Rep. Joe Wilson (who famously yelled “You lie!” the last time Obama addressed Congress) on Neil Cavuto’s show, who was there to discuss the upcoming speech by the President. Mr. Wilson proved to be a humble guest by profusely apologizing (yet again) for his outburst, and by politely disagreeing with the President’s spending policies during a short two or three minute interview that exuded sincerity. It was a sharp contrast from President Obama’s State of the Union address, head held high, a few hours later, where the same annoying arrogance permeated the speech, so much so that a dumb little interview showed more humility on the part of Mr. Wilson for one mistake, than Obama showed during his 70 minutes long speech for big mistakes that affect us all. (I have no choice but conclude that ...

Protesters Ignored Again

January 25, 2010 – 2:12 pm
Every year on January 22 citizens across the nation March for Life in Washington D.C. to protest the 1973 decision of the US Supreme Court that legalized abortion on demand. And every year the media treats the story as insignificant. Just imagine if 300,000 people coalesced in Washington D.C. to protest so-called global warming, the amount of exposure they would have received. Even the much acclaimed “fair & balanced” FOX news channel could barely muster the word “thousands” when reporting on the volume of the March (the reality is hundreds of thousands of people attended). The only cable television channel that covered the March was EWTN thankfully; otherwise those unable to make the event, though strongly supportive of reversing Roe v. Wade, can now know what took place this year, and whether anyone in Washington is listening. Unfortunately Washington is still not listening and neither is the media. Thank you Respect ...

Federal Government Is the Boogeyman

January 22, 2010 – 4:35 pm
Oil and insurance companies are placed on the back burner, as the Obama administration ushers in a new boogeyman – the banking industry. Sure, Bush, Cheney and Rove are still the reasons why the economy tanked in 08 and 09, if you believe the left, but for now, the White house will focus its blame on the bankers. So, listen up, America, the President is trying to communicate a message – it is the banking industry’s fault for the bad economy. Does the President really expect the American people to believe now that regulating banks will prevent another economic meltdown? Two weeks ago if Congress did not pass healthcare “reform” America would have been unable to contain its debt; two months ago if Congress did not pass Cap and Trade carbon dioxide would have burned up the earth; four months ago FOX news was not a real news organization; and ten months ...

Scott Brown for U.S. Senate

January 15, 2010 – 5:54 pm
One does not have to be a political mastermind to see what is happening in America today. Glenn Beck’s claim that the Obama administration’s goal is to transform the Nation in a way that mirrors Hugo Chavez’ take- over of Venezuela, indeed, has validity. The amount of government control and over the top spending that the Obama White house and the Democrat controlled Congress have assumed in one year is unprecedented and will take many years to salvage. Do the American people have the political will to show President Obama and Congress that they see right through their unfair class warfare games and socialist-style spread the wealth mentality? The answer is a resounding YES. Take the race for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts as a prime example of how real the uproar against government largesse is. The U.S. Senate seat opened up by the passing of Democrat and healthcare “reform” advocate Sen. ...

Pre-9/11 Policies Plague White House

January 11, 2010 – 5:30 am
On Christmas Day, Nigerian-born Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (“UFA”), in possession of a US Visa, boarded a plane from Amsterdam to Detroit with a bomb strapped to his underwear. UFA attempted to kill himself, all those on board, and create as much collateral death as possible over the City of Detroit. The operation failed because the explosive ignited improperly injuring him and two passengers out of the 300 that were on board. UFA was subdued until landing where he was arrested by Federal authorities. He was then charged with attempted murder and use of a weapon of mass destruction and is being prosecuted in Federal Court at the behest of most Americans who believe that he should be treated as an enemy of America and tried at a military tribunal. One of the biggest problems with prosecuting this case in Federal Court is it returns the US to an ineffective policy ...

A Joyful Christmas

December 24, 2009 – 3:42 pm
The Gospel According to Luke Verse 8-20 – The Shepherds at the Crib And there were shepherds in the same district living in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them and the glory of God shone round about them, and they feared exceedingly. And the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which shall be to all the people; for today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you, who is Chris the Lord. And this shall be a sign to you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace ...

Opposition Be Damned

December 22, 2009 – 10:14 pm
The Democrat controlled government, opposition be damned, on the verge of a huge power grab in the name of insuring the uninsured and keeping health insurance companies “honest” are digging deep and rolling up their sleeves, set to take over 1/6 of the American economy, with a new and despicable level of partisanship. The final Senate vote to move the healthcare “reform” bill to a reality has captured the attention of the American people for its blatant maneuvers to mix politics with healthcare. Just yesterday, in order to gain support from Senator Nelson of Nebraska for the bill, Nebraska is exempt from paying Medicaid benefits for its own constituents forever, is just one example. The Senator’s initial objection was federally funded abortion, but that fell to the way side when the pork deal came through. Unfortunately, if “reform” is signed into law, the future of American healthcare and how it ...

Climate Change Corruption

December 17, 2009 – 8:12 pm
I admit that I have been skeptical of man-made global warming from the get go. For one thing Al Gore does not impress me one bit with his “end of the world” predictions, knowing full well that an ulterior motive is at bay. But it wasn’t until I started reading “Climate Change Reconsidered -- The Report of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change” (“Reconsidered”) that I realized that not only does it appear that Gore is dead wrong on his (and others) theory of man-made climate change, but the entire movement, that bases its findings on biased and inconclusive science, is really about perpetrating a global socialist society aimed at redistributing wealth on an international scale. Much of the language and direction of the meeting of Environmentalists at Copenhagen is based upon four Reports of the International Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) originally published in 1990 with its ...
