The President’s Weekly Address

January 3rd, 2010

By Harvey Grund It took a year for President Barack Obama to do it, but in his weekly address to the nation yesterday he finally got mad enough to get his teleprompter to use the word “terrorism.” All those involved in the attempted act of terrorism on Christmas must know you, too, will be held to [...]

Credit to an Anti-Terrorist Muslim

January 1st, 2010

By Harvey Grund Umaru Abdul Mutallab, father of the “Christmas Underwear Bomber,” Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, needs to be recognized as a very brave man and a true friend of America. Up until now he has only been briefly mentioned for his deed, but an article at Politics Daily by Jeffrey Weiss not only corrects that, [...]

The Political Year That Was

December 31st, 2009

By Harvey Grund 2009 has been, if nothing else, newsworthy. It is the year Barack Hussein Obama became our president; began his destruction of our economy in the name of “leveling the playing field; named a wide variety of unqualified “friends” to important positions in government and the judiciary; broke virtually every campaign promise; repeatedly [...]

The Real President Obama

December 21st, 2009

By Harvey Grund There’s no way around this. Democrats in the White House and on Capitol Hill have just perpetrated the most criminal rip-off in the history of this country on the American people. And with its passage now a certainty, the only thing left to do is to start working on getting it repealed. [...]

Harry Reid: A True Statist?

December 9th, 2009

By Harvey Grund An insult was in order for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid after reading this lead story in Politics Daily, but why stoop to name calling? Harry Reid is what he is, and that is someone who either truly believes that the country is better off with a free market that has been [...]

Sarah and the “Birthers”

December 6th, 2009

he Obama White House and the Liberal Mobs headed by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed are in the process of attempting to do terrible damage to the free market in the United States and if the free market dies, the United States is essentially dead. That is a much, much larger and much more immediate issue than trying to prove that the “Capo di tutti capi” of the aforementioned Liberal Mob should not be where he is, doing what he is already doing.

The Tiger Woods Tease

December 3rd, 2009

By Harvey Grund I’ve been a bad boy, Tiger Woods readily and publicly admits, … but I don’t want to talk about it! OK, so he made a mistake — he slipped up — he had an affair or whatever the heck he did — that’s one thing, and no, he doesn’t have to discuss [...]

Hate Criminals Not Intimidated

November 28th, 2009

Hate crimes are as old as the Bible and, when you boil it down, people who commit this type of crime are doing so because of their own insecurity and emotional instability. Laws and rules may have a small impact on a few of these people but they will not come near to solving the problem.

Demoralized in America

November 26th, 2009

I read the news and see that the Democratic majority has totally bought into President Obama’s vision of Utopia; a United States that needs to be remade into a country that is less of a threat to our enemies and more acceptable to European Socialists.

Religion and Public Education

November 18th, 2009

The broader picture is: The United States is not a “Christian nation”; it is a nation based not on religion but on morality, a basic morality that forms the basis of ‘civilization’ as we understand it and practice it — a morality that exists apart from any religion — a morality that is, by law, the basis of even the most ardent atheist’s behavior.

Thou Shall Not Govern

November 12th, 2009

By Harvey Grund When I ran across a recent article at Air America online titled Abortion Restrictions In House Bill Show Power Of Organized Religion In Politics, I broke into a sweat! (Well, not literally.) However, how could it be that I, a self-professed proponent of conservatism, could agree with anything that the “wacko libs” [...]

Huffington on Obama

October 30th, 2009

He (Obama) also controls who runs the Treasury Department — which, believe it or not, is not legally mandated to be overseen and staffed by former Goldman Sachs executives and their friends. And there is nothing in the Constitution that says the Treasury Secretary has to be in near-constant contact with the heads of Goldman, Citigroup, and JP Morgan, often taking their calls late at night.

Annoying Voices on the Right

October 17th, 2009

It’s an interesting enigma isn’t it? When someone is saying or doing things that support your world view, little things like twisted facts, partial truths, out-of-context quotes and annoying mannerisms are as inconsequential as sunshine in July.

Zachary Christie, a six-year-old “A” student at John R. Downes Elementary School in Delaware, brought his favorite Cub Scout camping utensil (a combination knife, fork, and spoon) to school to eat lunch with it — he eats all his meals at home with it and saw no problem with taking it to school.

Joe Wilson: Gutless

September 12th, 2009

This is exactly what’s wrong with the Republican Party today and, in a sense, it symbolizes what’s wrong with America today. It takes guts to stand toe-to-toe with the opposition and verbally slug it out; and Joe Wilson did not have the courage of his convictions and did not tell them that he would see them all in Hell before he apologized. A man acting on his convictions doesn’t have to apologize, especially to the man who is leading the pack of people who are raping this country’s traditions, destroying this country’s economy and vandalizing this country’s Constitution.
