Eartha Kitt, Distinctive Original, Succumbs on Christmas

I was fortunate to see Eartha Kitt live at Michael’s Pub in New York in 1983. It was a scintillating show by an inimitable show-biz giant. One of Eartha Kitt’s keys to success was a courageous lack of concern for convention and criticism. She even supported the Iraq war in 2003, despite the resistance to [...]

The Gray Lady Has Dementia: White House Answers Simplistic Smear

Of course, the senile New York Times depends upon the mindless bias of its readership. President Bush warned in 2003 and 2006 that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac needed oversight and preventive measures in order to keep them from causing widespread economic disaster. As I have said for months, the Democrats in congress would not [...]

Sir Winston Churchill on Socialism; President Reagan on Big Government

AMERICA.MID
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.
~~Sir Winston Churchill
Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy;
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

On the Brink of the Biggest Heist in History…

…that’s where Barack Hussein Obama and his ACORN, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae fraudsters–Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson foremost among them–are standing, waiting for you to vote Democrat in this presidential election. Thousands of false voter-registrations have already been “early voting,” before the public understands that the aforementioned hucksters and hijackers are the ones responsible [...]

ACORN and Obama: Partners in Crime

Article defining ACORN for those who think Obama is clean-as-a-whistle, and don’t realize what constituted his “Community Organizer” career.
The socialist bailout that the Democrats forced last week, through their culture of corruption, awards your tax dollars to this communist-socialist, criminal organization.

Barack Obama and his cronies in the congress and senate voted against John McCain’s proposed [...]

Freedom versus Free Stuff

The ignorant and gullible will try to elect Barack Obama because they believe that they’ll “get free stuff”, little realizing that they would give up their freedom, and that their jobs will disappear when corporations and businesses are penalized and taxed to death. Senator Obama wants to model the U.S. after failed socialist regimes in [...]

Senator Biden More Respectful than Obama During Debate

Senator Joe Biden was respectful to Governor Palin, consistently addressing her by her title.
Senator Obama, from the very first question in the presidential debate, never called Senator McCain anything but “John”. That’s a very cheeky thing to do on a public podium when you are a Junior Senator.
Mr. Obama even spoke overtime and rudely ignored [...]

Biden Wrong on Global Warming

Senator Biden didn’t admit the well-known scientific fact that global warming is partially due to cyclical climate changes. He was obviously pandering to the Blame America First crowd. This is the cleanest nation in the world besides Canada. Since President Nixon founded the EPA, the Environmental Protection Act, great strides have been made to ensure [...]

Too Close to Call?

Too Close to Call? Nobody Asked You To!

Who ARE these entities that “call” the elections before you even get the chance to VOTE? What gives them any power? I’m certainly not. Months before any election, and now more than ever, we hear the phrase, “It’s too close to call.” Earth to Them: that’s something which [...]

Obama’s Vicious, Dishonest Campaign Ad in “Spanish”

There is a vicious ad in Español on the radio in Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. Sen. Obama’s voice comes on saying, in very bad Spanish, “Yo soy Barack Obama…y ha pruebo esta mensaje“–which isn’t correct Spanish–wrong verb, it speaks in the second person and uses the wrong tense! And this fellow condescendingly preaches [...]
