It’s been quite a day for political fervor, at least if you find yourself on the conservative side of the political spectrum. If you watch most of the news, or much of any TV really, you’ll know that most media outfits are solidly in the liberal tank. I hate to admit it, but if I hear it enough times, I even start to think that us conservatives are becoming more and more marginalized. But, hearing about all of the “tea parties” that went on today helps me realize that there are a lot more of us conservatives out there than we get credit for.
Of course, the media (apart from Foxnews that is) has treated the parties like a redheaded stepchild, which just reminds me of just how hypocritical the left can be. If left-leaning groups organize a protest for, say, opposition to the war in Iraq, then it is held up as a virtuous exercise of Constitutional rights. Or how about George Bush? It suddenly became acceptable to brazenly bash him, almost a trendy thing to do. But say anything about Obama and see what happens.Pretentious liberals will never let you hear the end of it.
Anyway, here’s a few more quick hits:
- I am a white male religious conservative who owns guns, dislikes the president, and is disheartened by the economy. Apparently, according to Janet Napolitano, that makes me a terrorist. I’ll be waiting for a call from the president to engage in good-faith diplomacy soon, because that’s how Barack deals with threats.
- Well, at least that’s what he claimed during the election. I guess pirates are excluded from this pledge, because Obama sure didn’t wait long to authorize military action against those pirates that were holding the ship captain with the great name of Phillips. Me, I’m fine with military action against them. I say that if the pirates want to pick a fight, they should get one. But, that’s not what Obama said he was going to do during the election. But, why am I not surprised?
- I read a good editorial today about the lack of transparency in the Obama administration regarding the “stimulus” money. While I was reading, it occurred to me today how ironic it is that Obama has villified AIG so much while his administration is preparing to spend $800 BILLION of taxpayer and borrowed money. Most of the mismanagement at AIG resulted from too much exposure to debt, combined with a non-transparent market (I know this because I just wrote a reserach paper about this). Now the president is about go all AIG with the budget by massive borrowing and spending. Have you learned nothing, Mr. Obama?
- Rick Perry is the MAN. It’s about time someone stood up to the massive controlling politics in Washington. Long live the 10th amendment!
Alright, I feel better. Time for some sleep.
