EMail Doodlings – OK, putting this up a couple days late.

November 7, 2012

But actually, it turned out to be a bit prescient, as in two races here in NH in my mind (Frank Guinta & Bob Burns), what I warned about came true: This may not sit well…. It seems to me that the full bore / hard core Libertarians (“HCLs”) on this list (which, after all [ Read more ]

November 5, 2012

This may not sit well…. Actually, what I wrote below I did before stumbling on this: “The Cloward – Pivens of the Right” where the topic is about a Libertarian that will be voting for Johnson and will not even consider a vote against Obama: The fact that his vote might end up causing Romney [ Read more ]

How is it that the Obama campaign can castigate me for not contributing but can’t stop Osama Bin Ladin

November 4, 2012

from doing so?  Sheesh!  Well, given that King Obama has decided that the Rule of Law is just so passe, and that the Chicago way means voting early and often, even from a coffin, I should not be surprised.  Follow the rules?  Not when it isn’t an advantage to them.    This is the “it ain’t [ Read more ]

Benghazi – All about “the video”? Or is this all about covering up Obama’s “Mission Accomplished” moment?

November 1, 2012

…which ended up not supporting 4 Americans that ended up being murdered? And not only by our government, but by the so called Press that are supposed to, in their own words, “afflict the comfortable”?  The info-nuggets are starting to spill out – it wasn’t about the video.  The Big Problem, is the absolute craven [ Read more ]

Once again, the Dems role out kids as Political Fodder

October 29, 2012

You can tell when the Dems are either at the top of their form or are scared out of the wits.  With either extreme, they go back to the old trick in their book – roll out “the kids”.  Now, the Adults in the Room (pretty much, Conservatives and Libertarians) are pretty much disgusted with [ Read more ]

October 26, 2012

That Steve – he certainly has his way with words, eh?  The video that Steve posted of Lena Dunham has received all kinds of attention today from the Right side of the blogosphere – and none of it positive.  Pretty much, it has made the faux Julia by the Obama campaign look tame by comparison.  [ Read more ]

Paul Ryan on Poverty

October 25, 2012

“The mindset behind this approach is that a nation should measure compassion by the size of the federal government and how much it spends….The problem is, starting in the 1960s, this top-down approach created and perpetuated a debilitating culture of dependency, wrecking families and communities.” “There’s a vast middle ground between the government and the [ Read more ]

And let’s not forget about the speech in Berlin: I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we’ve struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people.

Quick thoughts on the debate now that it is over.

October 22, 2012

Heh!: “Obama ‘death stare’ is the new Biden smirk.” It doesn’t matter if Obama wins tonite or not – it is whether or not Obama’s performance overall will cause people to change their minds when compared to Romney’s performance.  I think that while Obama may have squeaked out a win (barely), I’d call it a draw [ Read more ]

A “Responsible Plan to end War in Afghanistan”

October 22, 2012

(H/T: “Rebuilding” – Obama for America campaign via Hot Air) Obama thinks this is the epitome of how to fight a war: just bring the troops home, declare victory; done.  Problem is, there’s another side in this war that hasn’t agreed at all to ending the war.  War is NEVER unilaterally declared done until the [ Read more ]
