No, Barney Frank isn’t dead.  He isn’t among the deceased but he is being virtually canonized by Long Island’s resident nitwit congressman Steve Israel as “a champion of American families.” 

Rep. Israel has one peculiar concept of “family.” 

Called “the most powerful homosexual in Congress,” Barney is merely retiring so he can rest up in peace, away from the slings and arrows of political infighting, his scandal-plagued career, and those meanie Republicans who keep dredging up his complicity in the 2008 banking debacle that led to Obama’s continuing Great Recession. 

Barney is surrendering his position as ranking member of the … Read the rest

  The other day, Rush Limbaugh warned whomever eventually wins the Republican nomination for the presidency to be prepared for an avalanche of vicious assaults from the re-elect Obama billion dollar attack machine. 

Limbaugh was wrong in one respect: That onslaught began months ago with the only distinction being that the viciousness is mostly emanating from Obama acolytes in his mainstream media rather than directly from the White House. 

All this year, we have witnessed every Republican hopeful mercilessly pilloried as soon as he or she gains any traction in the GOP sweepstakes.  Pawlenty, Trump, Christie, Bachmann, Gingrich, Cain have each … Read the rest

Sometimes the mainstream media merely substantiate common knowledge and sometimes the New York Times demonstrates a degree of journalistic ethics by publishing that common knowledge instead of always slanting the truth.  

Such is the case with Thomas B. Edsall’s piece, “The Future of the Obama Coalition”  which appeared in the Times‘ Sunday “Opinion Pages.”   

Summarized, that future involves Obama abandoning hopes of again winning anything approaching the 43% of all white votes he won in 2008 “in favor of cementing a center-left coalition.” 

According to Edsall, that coalition consists of people generally considered professionals, including everyone from professors to … Read the rest

  Former Republican Speaker of the House Newton Leroy Gingrich lugs around almost as much baggage as a former candidate for the presidency lugged around before he won that office in 1992. 

The chief difference between Gingrich and William Jefferson Blythe Clinton is that the former’s dirty linens will probably deny him the Republican nomination in 2012 and the latter’s less-fastidious Democrats elected him twice.  

Both developments are damned shames. 

Despite Democrat claims to be the Party of the People, which may have been true when they were led by FDR and the people were desperate and later involved in a … Read the rest

  Weeping, whooping Whoopi Goldberg, who doesn’t look even a little bit Jewish and who is virtually idolized by brainless Jews and non-Jews alike during her appearances on “The View,” often gets perturbed.  

One would think a Neanderthal would retreat into a cave instead of going public.

A sad excuse for a woman, the Whoopster regularly articulates and reflects her stupidity on ABC’s “The View” and sometimes manages to out-do herself in her efforts at invoking baseless charges of racism at every opportunity, taking umbrage at the truth, and supporting Hollywood pedophiles because they are Hollywood pedophiles.

Goldberg was outraged earlier … Read the rest

  The nuns used to tell us we couldn’t understand God, information that wasn’t news to eight year olds since we often couldn’t understand the nuns, either. 

Still, I eventually picked up on the concept that God was beyond understanding, much like arithmatic, and I accepted the principle of the existence of an Almighty Who, if He wasn’t watching every move we made or taking notes on every time I was impudent, was up there, somewhere, not taking written notes but aware.  

Atheists aren’t beset by such mundane concerns since they don’t believe in the existence of any god, opting instead … Read the rest

As we reflect on what were hopefully uneventful but satisfying Thanksgiving festivities and begin the annual debauchery euphemistically called holiday shopping, getting and spending until it hurts, it’s worthwhile to also reflect on our times.  They are times trying for men’s and women’s souls, taxing for our wallets, and straining on our blood pressure.

As with Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day is much-anticipated and much-prepared-for but what we wake up to the morning after still presents us with the real world, a perplexing and scary world beyond the scariness of frenzied shoppers pepper-spraying their competition, beyond Black Friday’s greed, beyond imagining … Read the rest

The following is a re-re-print, with 2011 updates, of an article first posted here a few years ago which I’m trotting out once again since I’m a lazy sonofagun and because certain truths never change–and re-publishing them affords me the time to research and post other articles which highlight the sad reality that Americans should cherish Thanksgivings of yore since we may never see their like again.

What we should be giving thanks for this Thanksgiving Day because Navy Seal Team 6 executed the barbarian who executed 3,000 innocent people on September 11th. 2001 even if the terrorist threat is … Read the rest

Just in time for Thanksgiving so that deserving drug runners could be home with their families for the holiday and pick up where they left off selling cocaine and pot, President Barack Hussein Obama pardoned four of them and threw in a convicted gambler just for the jollies.  It’s just too bad Antoine Rezko missed the cut.   

Antoine Who?   

It’s easy to forget Antoine, Tony, if you ever heard of him in the first place.   His case received precious little publicity from Obama’s MSM because of close his close ties to the president.  Indeed, in a lengthy Chicago Tribune article … Read the rest

  George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation

On October 3, 1789, President George Washington issued a proclamation naming Thursday, November 26, 1789, as an official holiday of “sincere and humble thanks.” The nation then celebrated its first Thanksgiving under its new Constitution.

By the PRESIDENT of the United States Of America: A PROCLAMATION

WHEREAS it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favour; and Whereas both Houfes of Congress have, by their joint committee, requefted me “to recommend to the … Read the rest
