So, Mr. President, if your favored big-government policies are responsible for the success of small businesses, can we blame you for those that fail?

“After the charismatic—and disastrous—Woodrow Wilson presidency, the voters did not elect another president in the next decade who could be considered the least bit charismatic. Let us hope that history repeats itself.”

Something’s Missing

July 25th, 2012 No comments

Two white men were attacked by a group of teen thugs in D.C., with one sustaining serious injuries.

I scanned through accounts of the attack in a wide variety of media sites and, curiously enough, could not find a description of the attackers. Given the fact that the police don’t yet have any suspects you might think that a description would be warranted. When I finally found one, I was shocked—SHOCKED, I tell you—to discover the miscreants are minorities (black, in this case, as are the overwhelming majority of violent criminals in D.C.).

When a black teenager was killed by a neighborhood watch cop wannabe, the media labeled him “white Hispanic.” When a Congressman was shot—and bystanders killed—the media tried to paint the murderer as a right-wing nut. When a dozen people were murdered in a theater, the media instantly—and incorrectly—touted a Tea Party link.

Now the same media are quick to note that these latest victims are gay, but don’t find the identities of the perps significant enough to report. To the Left, criminals’ group membership is only relevant if it’s white or conservative.

Success and Failure in ObamaLand

July 17th, 2012 No comments

Oh how I wish I’d had President Obama as an advisor during my formative years. I was raised with the horrible misunderstanding that success and failure are direct consequences of the choices we make. How unbelievably foolish my mentors were!

If only someone as wise and insightful as he had been there to tell me that my future success wouldn’t be the result of studying long hours in high school, college, and grad school, working hard, getting married before having children, spending less than I earn, trying to keep my life and family centered on a relationship with God—all that not-fun, responsible adult stuff—I’d have had so much more time to goof off. Heck, I might’ve even lit up a doob with our current POTUS—just buzzing on his bong-besotted brilliance.

All those years of effort wasted now that I know I was just lucky. How terribly sad for me.

Obama Reigns: Who needs Congress?

July 13th, 2012 No comments

Who needs Congress?

That, apparently, is the attitude of the current administration. In a truly unprecedented move, Health and Human Services queen Secretary Sebelius quietly announced this week that states can apply for waivers to the federal welfare work requirements.

Under whose authority? Congress enacted the current welfare regulations with a very explicit work requirement—and did not designate any waiver authority to HHS or any other agency.

So now Obama and his minions have decided the legislative branch is wholly unnecessary and they can not only ignore duly enacted laws, but amend them at will. Where in the Constitution does the supposed Constitutional expert find such an executive power?

Unless he is removed from office, Obama will certainly fulfill one of his campaign promises: to fundamentally transform America. He is very swiftly changing the Executive from a coequal branch—checked by Congress and the Supreme Court—into a kingship.

Didn’t we fight a revolution to avoid just such despotism?
