VIDEOMSNBC's Mehdi Hasan says, "Sinema is DESTROYING Joe Biden's governing agenda, perhaps his entire presidency." Well, I think Sleepy Joe is accomplishing that all by himself but if it irks the left to think that Senator Kyrsten Sinema is the culprit, so be it especially since their hysteria over her is quite hilarious as you can see in this video.

The critical issue for the 2012 election is whether or not a government of the people, by the people and for the people, shall perish from the earth. The US Government has been hijacked by a self-serving, permanent political class, which considers itself above the law and elections as bothersome formalities temporarily interrupting their plundering of the nation’s wealth. Having become comfortable with ignoring the will of the people, American politicians have created a culture of corruption in Washington, D.C., while they steadily whittle away at the Constitution to remove any remaining obstacles in their pursuit of personal power and...

It’s a terrible thing to watch a person dissemble. Most of us have witnessed it; it’s never pretty. The next-to-end stage is truly shocking – that’s where the person is in utter free fall. All previous norms and morals have been jettisoned. He flails through the day in a retro-evolutionary manner which is the strongest argument I’ve ever seen for Darwin’s musings. If presented to Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of Her other Realms and Territories, Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the...

That my friends is the problem. If upon passage of this maniacal conglomeration of liberal idiocy the world came to a screeching halt and Wall Street collapsed no one would doubt the evil contained therein. The truth is that this health care bill is benignly insidious. To draw a parallel: health care reform is a lot like a greasy hamburger. If people ate just one and died of a heart attack there is a pretty good chance that everyone would understand that they were dangerous. The reality is that you can eat hamburgers three times a day for years before...

There is a palpable change in the attitude of the left. The left can no longer marginalize its opposition with acusations of racism and extremism; that model does not hold up in the demographic of the Massachusetts election. Since the Administration is unwilling to call the vote what it is (a referendum on their liberal agenda), the new effort is to associate the anger that voters expressed at the Masachusetts polls with the momentum that carried Obama into office. Prior to the election, the left characterized angry voters as extremists and racists. Now, however, there is a rush to paint...

America, where is your character, your pluck, your grit? If that question seems overly harsh and needlessly aggressive, then you are staring directly at the problem. This nation sits at the precipice of a fundamental, irreversible transformation that will make all too visible a new country that is incontrovertibly “one nation under a spineless, politically correct, brow-beaten, emasculated bunch of sheep.” Is that too harsh? If you believe my words are too offensive, that I should tone it down, possibly give contemplation to all opposing views from every potential angle, if not every position within the cosmos, then, you’re actually...

But here's this from the Washington Times: "President Obama is distancing himself from the National Day of Prayer by nixing a formal early morning service and not attending a large Catholic prayer breakfast the next morning. It's my humble opinion but I think a little prayer would do us all some good. Our nation is in trouble. I don't care what side of the political fence you're on, we're in trouble. And all those that would scream "separation of church and state" and bellow about bringing God into politics would do well to sit back and read Reagan's words. George...

Analysis of news reports on the drug gangs of Mexico and their guns reveals a two way division. One is of those forced to spend money in America buying American made weapons, and the others: dealing with Cuba, Panama, Venezeula, China, et al for the much cheaper and heavier stuff. There are two reasons for supporting the US Buyers side: It's good business for American makers to sell for cash, and there is also the underlying political factor of allowing Cuba, Venezeula, Nickagowa (sp) China to develop political and financial influence with competing gangs. We should be helping our American...

To my Conservative Friends: When my beautiful wife (I upgraded) and I got married 16 years ago, we talked a lot about our future children. We decided to raise them in a loving, catholic, conservative household. We would teach them values, manners and respect. Today they are 11 and 7 and I could not be more proud and blessed to have two such beautiful children inside and out. As everyone, we have made mistakes in our lives, but the best decision we ever made was deciding to have my wife stay at home to have the primary role of raising...

As Gov. Palin attempted to make a campaign speech, she was interrupted by a hippie, er protester.Click here to view the video. Palin stops her speech, looks directly at the heckler and says the following "Bless your heart sir, my son is in Iraq fighting for your right to protest".... Visit RUF for the video and the rest of the story!

My husband and I discovered this morning that yet another young man whom we know well has volunteered to be deployed to Iraq. He will be leaving in January. Which spurred me to do some serious thinking on the subject of our young men volunteering … My support for the war effort in Iraq has dwindled, for two sad reasons: (1) Our president told us four years ago that America has to battle the terrorists in the Middle East in order to prevent the need to battle them here on our own soil. So we are sending our troops...

THIS WALTER REED MESS IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE! This hospital is supposed to be a medical haven for our soldiers who have fallen in harm's way. Instead, they got tripped up by the very people who are supposed to be committed to their healing return to health. It appears to be a decrepit old building with chipping paint and moldy stowaways in every nook and cranny. We probably have better looking buildings in the ghettoes here in Chicago. In fact, I remember some old buildings that were so falling down awful that the only solution was just to tear them...

By Pedro O. Vega As published today in the Johnstown Tribune DemocratThe situation in which we find ourselves in Iraq because of the war on terror defies my attempts at originality to describe. I find myself in need of laying hold of aphorisms and clichés said by the truly Great Ones, and some not-so-great. The first one that comes to mind is from Thomas Paine, an American Founding Father, written in 1776. It’s one I used in a previous column, one I keep returning too because of its sheer wisdom: “These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer...

A very troubling report has been published by Middle East Newsline: The Bush administration has blocked arms and technology transfers to Israel. Israeli and U.S. sources said the State Department has blocked the transfer of weapons and technology to the Jewish state over the last three months. The sources said the halt reflected deteriorating relations between the two countries since the end of the war in Lebanon in August 2006. “Nobody will say openly that there is a problem,” a government source said. “But there is a serious problem that reflects the marginalization of Israel in U.S. strategy.” The unofficial...

COMMENTARY There's an old adage that states money talks and "you know what" walks. Without getting graphic, most adults and, sadly, most children over the age of 12 are familiar with the saying in this day and age. Regretfully, this philosophy may have played a role in the demise of the Republican majority last November 7th. George W. Bush has come under some heavy criticism since the disastrous election results for the GOP and most of that criticism is well-founded. For example, Bush's handling of the Donald Rumsfeld firing has raised many eyebrows among Party faithful. A valid question can...

Condie Is Not A Politician. Her Accomplishments Have Come About Via Sincere Intellectual Interest. Contrast This Fact Against The Democrat's Raw Claw For Power!

There is only one country that can simply and unilaterally force North Korea to abandon its nuclear programme: China. So the question is, why would they? China has a number of traditional enemies: countries it doesn't trust. One of them - India - already has nuclear weapons. Japan does not, and China would do a lot to prevent Japan acquiring them. The novelist David Baldacci - through one of his fictional characters - has suggested that the US simply needs to say to China "sort out North Korea, or we will help Japan acquire nuclear weapons". A blunt ultimatum like...

This whole situation with P & O, DP World and Eller & Co is just so bizarre. More twists and turns than a pretzel factory... Found this article, "Dubai accused of lying on ports", buried deep in Internet search land. Remember the email that was "leaked" to the media that implied that DP World was not going to sell its US assets? Guess who the leaker was? (no it wasn't Sen. Rockefeller)... None other than Eller & Co's own lawyer, Michael Kreitzer. Kreitzer said "we're making this public because we think Congress should do what it planned last week -...
