    You were the one who used the term "Fascist". I don't recall the "M" word being thrown around as an adjective for liberals in this thread. Just for clarification, here's a rather long but thought-provoking essay by Nelson Hultburg about the distortions being used by academics and media pundits...

    The typical response of liberals when struggling for an effective response to conservative arguments is to label them or their political philosophies as "Fascist". The word just sounds evil, and has been used as a derogatory term since Mussolini's rule of Italy. Just a quick look in Wikipedia...

    Great Song Lyrics

    When driving late at night this one is good to get the juices flowing. Copperhead Road by Steve Earle Well my name's John Lee Pettimore Same as my daddy and his daddy before You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here He only came to town about twice a year He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast...

    Obama's Tax Breaks - Beware the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

    As it is with many things about Barack Hussein Obama, his tax plan is not exactly what it appears to be: "...But new tax withholding tables issued by the IRS could cause millions of taxpayers to get hundreds of dollars more than they are entitled to under the credit, money that will have to be...

    No insult intended by term "socialist" - it just fits the parameters of your philosophy, which seems a bit fractious. "Socialists want power . . . and once in power wish to impose their programme on the people. . . Anarchists instead maintain, that government cannot be other than harmful, and...

    Alas, it's not my talent on display - the aforementioned "outrageous definition" came from www.dictionary.com and I should have noted the credit for the source. If anyone cares to go to the following link: anarchist - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary they will find a similar...

    I guess I'm late to the party on this thread, but after reading all this stuff I'm still confused. Since when is the UN a credible source for anything? We've witnessed for years what an ineffective organization they are, being run by banana republics and communist dictatorships. The Oil For Food...

    Is Bankrupt in future for A SC company

    It's pretty obvious that the handwriting is on the tombstone for this outfit. For those that want to continue to do business with them - do so at your own peril. Wouldn't be surprised if we see a couple of other mid-size companies go down this year as well. Just too much supply and not enough...

    Obama's Spending Cuts

    From the Heritage Foundation - Obama's spending cuts illustrated. Everyone understands pictures and this illustration makes a great point. You have to look closely to get the "point", but it certainly puts his spending and deficits in perspective. According to reports, President Barack Obama...

    Feinstein - Fairness

    Here's something I found in an e-mail from a friend today - a political cartoon from the Chicago Tribune in 1934. Odd how timely it is today.

    Great start for Obama and America!

    I stand corrected. In an earlier post I stated that Obama's capability is yet to be determined, and this was an error. As I get caught up on the details of Barack Hussein Obama's recent decision to release Top Secret CIA documents detailing inhanced interrogation techniques, it becomes apparent...

    Canadian warship chases pirates in Gulf of Aden

    So long as these various countries abide by the NATO "catch & release" program, there will continue to be a problem with pirates. These pieces of human debris need to be taken off the market one way or another. Turning them into shark chum would be not only the most efficient method of disposal...

    Great start for Obama and America!

    I suppose this kind of gloating is to be expected from the Democrat kool-aid drinkers, especially after witnessing the headlong rush to European socialism since the boy wonder became president. After just 90 days in office, the "world" loves us again - the "world" being Venezuela, Iran, Cuba...

    Somalia, Pirates, and Al Quaeda

    Maybe the navies of US, France, Greece, etc. could do a better job of tracking the "mother ships" also. I'm not up to speed on the latest satellite technology, but it seems to me we could utilize that to scan these vast areas to locate the vessels launching the speedboats, then send a couple of...

    Somalia, Pirates, and Al Quaeda

    At the risk of offending the "Cut & Paste Police", here's a rather lengthy but prophetic article written in 2002 for the Heritage Foundation by James Phillips, with a short excerpt to offer an idea of the subject matter: "...al-Qaeda may seek to regroup in another country where it could count...

    Pirates

    Clinton governed by polls, and he knew it wouldn't be popular to take any type of military action against anyone more significant than Grenada. Look how many terrorist attacks against us happened on his watch and how many times he did nothing. He let a gang of ragged punks similar to today's...

    Dick Cheney talks freely about Iraq

    I wonder what could have happened between 1994 and the date we decided to deal with Iraq? Did the United Stated Congress vote in favor of military action against them? Did every major presidential candidate in addition to Slick Willie state that they believed Saddam had WMDs and agree with the...

    Nations Express - Shaking Ground?

    One would think there would be some comments from Nations drivers (assuming there are any left) regarding the level of their business activity, and whether or not their checks are bouncing. Regarding their business practices, they've been questionable for years. When the economy goes down like...

    Sen. Ted Stevens Vindicated

    For the purpose of contrast and comparison, look at the lack of coverage given Sen. Chris Dodd's sleazy loan deals, preferential treatment of Fannie and Freddie and their officers, and now his corrupt deal with the AIG bonuses he made sure were paid to his campaign donors. His approval ratings...
