‘The Donald’ Not White House Material

February 17th, 2011 · No Comments

After reading in the local newspaper today that a St. Louis-area man had formed a committee to draft Donald Trump to run for president in 2012, I couldn’t help but ask the question, “Do we really want a man like Trump running the country?” On the surface, Trump might seem like a likable guy in [...]

June 2nd, 2010 · 3 Comments

CONSERVATIVES BEWARE: Organizing for America, the group of left-wing liberals that helped get President Barack Obama elected in 2008, will soon hold Vote 2010 Kick-Off events around the country.

President Barack Obama Signs Health Care Bill

March 23rd, 2010 · 4 Comments

I visited the White House web site today, saw the image (below) and, immediately, “sucker punch” came to my mind.  As much as I would like to do so, however, I cannot accurately use that term to describe President Barack Obama’s signing of health care legislation today.

Catholics Urged to Boycott 2009 CCHD Campaign

November 18th, 2009 · No Comments

I’m not a Catholic, but, like the makers of the video above, I support any and all efforts to prevent groups like ACORN from receiving funding through less-than-transparent means such as the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. In case you’re not familiar with CCHD, the group played a big role in getting Barack Obama elected [...]

Video: Obama Leads Chant, ‘S-E-I-U! S-E-I-U!’

October 13th, 2009 · 2 Comments

In the video above, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama is shown leading a chant of “S-E-I-U!  S-E-I-U!” and talking about owning a purple windbreaker.  The real kicker is the statement he made about working with Service Employees International Union during his days as a community organizer and during his previous election campaigns: “That’s how we built [...]
