The Equality Stamp and the march of Marxism

Posted on December 31, 2013 by mesasmiles

We’re hearing this from several places now on the left – they are pushing this issue of “income equality,” or simply “equality.” I first noticed this last year when the Post Office issued these four flag stamps. While Liberty, Justice, … Continue reading →

This is the scary thing about what Obama is doing

Posted on December 24, 2013 by mesasmiles

I continue to contend that the dangerous thing about Obama’s presidency is not that he is grabbing power like a tyrant and abusing it so, but that the country is letting him get away with it. I just had brought … Continue reading →

Obamacare was passed fraudulently, not fair and square

Posted on October 1, 2013 by mesasmiles

I love how Obama tries to paint his signature legislation now as being passed fair and square, properly signed by him, and validated by the Supreme Court, so these Tea Party Republicans should just get over it – give up. … Continue reading →

Obama needs to be memorialized with a new scandal suffix

Posted on June 10, 2013 by mesasmiles

Ever since Watergate, it has been the practice to name each new scandal with a -gate suffix: Travelgate, Filegate, Thisgate and Thatgate. The reason? Watergate was the benchmark for scandals. However, Obama has broken new ground in scandals, so I … Continue reading →

The Democrats Brer Rabbit negotiating strategy on the fiscal cliff

Posted on December 3, 2012 by mesasmiles

As a Republican, John Boehner scares me when he gets into negotiations with the Democrats. They run circles around him. He acts tough early on in the process, and then he caves and strikes the most horrendous deals. Chris Wallace … Continue reading →

Republicans’ misguided focus on Ambassador Susan Rice

Posted on November 23, 2012 by mesasmiles

So Susan Rice comes out with a statement defending what she said on the Sunday talk shows on September 16. And it she’s lying. But is this any reason to oppose her nomination as Secretary of State? Here’s what she … Continue reading →
