In 1980, George H.W. Bush was making the same argument against Ronald Reagan that Mitt Romney is making this year. Bush argued that he was the most electable against Jimmy Carter. The big money Republican establishment was behind Bush because they feared that Reagan was too radical to win, and would carry the entire party down to historic defeat, like Goldwater did. Reagan even lost Iowa to Bush on that argument. But Reagan carried forward the p…
…of the Obama Coalition”, Thomas Edsall, by pushing “takers” into a non-working, entitlement, nanny state, socialistic philosophical ideology. Republicanism is not lost but it is certainly a candidate for a “Progressive Lite” label….or what as “Congress is Useless” all about? http://www.hollywoodrepublican.net/2011/11/congress-is-useless/ And all that is supported in academia today is under the myth of “academic freedom”. Collectivism and totalit…
… of these circumstances, the use of the word hero is trivialized. A deeper problem is that ides of myth, legend and story hold a society’s culture together. The concept of the hero is central to these. By misapplying the hero label and refraining from using it when needed takes our culture in the wrong direction. I hope we can recover the sense of propriety about who we call a hero and what they did to be considered brave before it’s too late. A …
… now. Notice, I said, “closest.” There is no Republican running right now even close to Ronald Reagan. Unfortunately, that is the biggest problem we will have in November. In 1980, after four dreadful years of Jimmy Carter, we had Reagan. Now, after four dreadful years of Obama, we have this slate of candidates. This morning, things on the election trail seemed to be changing. In fact, there were two Earthquakes on the trail and…
…der this president and then they were under the last president. It may take another year or two, but that realization will occur. When it does, Obama will exit his presidency in similar fashion to Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush. They all had approval ratings at or below 30% when leaving office. Those are the polling numbers we can believe in. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administrati…
…beg to differ with these economists in one major way. I feel that too much money is being spent. This presidency is beginning to look like the traditional tax and spend policies of Democrats that go back to Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter. The old world Democrats are back to haunt us. Maybe I should go back to my cave in the jungles of Thailand. Am I mistaken or did the United States reject this kind of thinking by not electing George McGovern, W…
… so shortly after the “Democratic Revolution?” I can answer that one, but it would take a book. To put it simply, the American people are beginning to see this Administration for what it is: A return to the failed policies of Jimmy Carter and Democrats of the seventies. Weakness in Foreign Affairs and out-of-control spending will not sit with the American electorate at either the national or state level. And, unfortunately, that is what the first…
…and ranting to the Democratic controlled congress but not much good for anything else. If you ask ex-governor Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney they will tell you President Obama is loved as much as John Adams and is as competent as Jimmy Carter. But they too suffer from a debilitating disease called “Post Traumatic “I can’t believe we lost the whole election” Amnesia”. They have forgotten everything that happened before Barack Obama won the presidency….
Hey Everyone! This is not a political blog per se. However, it is a piece of Americana and love of country that I think you should all watch. It is a video of VJ Day in Hawaii that has appeared on the internet. There is a song being song by Jimmy Durante on the piece. This little 16 mm film shows the celebrations on VJ Day and gives a good look of what Honolulu was like in 1945. I hope you all enjoy it and I also ho…
Here is a look at some of Obama’s key numbers. Some are good and some are not so good. What is key is the growth of government and the increase in the Federal Debt. An analysis of these numbers pretty much says it all. Obama and his cronies in Congress are nothing more than old fashioned Tax And Spend liberals. It’s Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Ted Kennedy, Michael Dukakis and McGovern all over again. They never learn! A by-t…
