They both have spoken to President Obama once in the last 70 days. Gen. McChrystal is the top U.S. & NATO commander in Afghanistan. David Letterman is the somewhat snarkey host of a late night TV talk show who is well known for his “Top Ten Reasons” List. One would think that with Americans dying [...]

Maybe they are finally learning. By they I mean the kook socialists who wanna play, “well if we’re nice to them they will be nice to us.” Such idiocy always brings about the very carnage they claim they want to prevent us conservatives from causing.

As a comparison, the G-20 conference in Pittsburgh brought out a scattering of the left wing to protest capitalism and the West’s [...]

Bravo to the NJ elementary school teacher who made her students sing songs praising Barack Hussein Obama. After all she in one fell swoo managed to give a free commercial to the GOP. That’s right – free. A little voice over, a view shots of various dictators where that sort of thing is done all [...]

All politicians know that uniformity of message is critical for success. Except the President and Sen. Baucus apparently. The President says paying for health care you don’t want isn’t a tax.
