Where are You, Rick?

Newt Gingrich has ended his campaign and endorsed Romney, as he should.  Republicans seem to be coalescing behind Romney, although there are a few pockets of resistance.  

It's time to face reality, folks.  Romney is all but certain to be the Republican nominee and it's imperative that we rally behind him, even if he wasn't your first choice.

My question is:  where are Rick Santorum and Ron Paul?  Ron Paul is kind of like a foot fungus - you just can't seem to get rid of him.  Rick Santorum dropped out awhile ago, but has yet to voice support for Romney.  Still licking his wounds from the primary, I guess.  Hey, Rick - it's time to end your snit and encourage your supporters to get behind Mitt Romney.  The same is true for Ron Paul.  This country is more important than your personal grudges and beliefs and the reality is that Romney is the only one who has a chance to beat Obama in November.  Get off your high horses and encourage your supporters to vote for Romney.  

Utter Hypocrisy

Liberal groups have been vociferously demonizing voter ID laws that have recently been passed in several states.  They agonize that these laws will disenfranchise minority voters and wail that Republicans are trying to suppress voter turnout.  


Would anyone be surprised to find that hypocrisy is rearing its ugly head in this debate?  Turns out that very liberal groups such as Center for American Progress and the Advancement Project actually require photo IDs to enter their buildings!


Aren't they afraid they're going to "disenfranchise" minorities who might want to come in and say hello?  Would someone please notify Eric Holder about this "unnecessary" and discriminatory practice (oh, and if you're planning to go to the Justice Deparment building in person, be sure to bring your photo ID!).

I Don't Like the Obamas Either

I have come to positively loathe both of the Obamas.  I can barely stand to hear his voice, which, unfortunately I hear much too often.  


Mychal Massie wrote a column in February expressing my sentiments perfectly and, I must admit, better than I could ever hope to do.  For that reason, I want to put up a link to his article.

Why I Do Not Like The Obamas

Panderer in Chief

After months of publicly and privately pressuring Israel to make unilateral concessions to advance the cause of peace, President Obama is now sounding much more hawkish on the subject of Iran.  In speaking at the policy conference of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) this past week, he assured the group that "I have Israel's back."  


As I'm sure Benjamin Netanyahu has noticed, this is a president who habitually says one thing and does another, a man who changes policy positions at the first whiff of criticism.  Many of these criticisms regarding Israel have come from prominent Democrats, among them New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez, Representative Steny Hoyer, Senator Harry Reid, Senator Joe Lieberman and Senator Charles Shumer.  To make matters worse, President Obama has yet to set foot in Israel and that is shameful.


In spite of all that the president has done to criticize and bully Israel, he now proclaims "I try not to pat myself too much on the back, but this administration has done more in terms of the security of the state of Israel than any previous administration", in speaking to a group of Jewish donors last October.  


Surely this is either the most delusional or the most egomaniacal president of my lifetime, or perhaps both.  I believe this is just election year rhetoric for Obama since he recognizes he has lost the support of many American Jews through his treatment of Israel.  He's shown us his true colors and if re-elected will be unencumbered by the need to court Jewish donors. Support for Israel will then fall by the wayside. The question is, however, will Jews vote for him en masse this year, or will they recognize that this is simple pandering?  

The "Unsurprise": Obama rejects Canadian pipeline

The White House is rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline, saying that Republicans forced him into this decision.  This is what the president wanted to do all along, but he now is trying to say that Congress is rushing it and not allowing adequate review.  I'm under the impression that the State Department has been reviewing this for the past 3 years - how much time does he need?!  


Our president is a spineless wonder who refuses to take responsibility for anything.  Not that this is a surprise; every decision this man makes is politically and ideologically driven. This pipeline would be good for our economy, would provide jobs and make us less dependent on hostile countries for our oil. It's a no-brainer and Obama is either dumb as a box of rocks or he's deliberately trying to hurt our country. God help us if he's re-elected.  

Major League Cynicism

American Atheists are seriously ticked off at Tim Tebow. Why?  Tebow's overt Christianity really rankles these atheists, but it's no skin off their noses.  

They're accusing him of doing it for publicity and personal gain.  They seem unable to grasp the idea that for religious people, faith is not something that's taken out of the closet on Sunday and then put back in for the rest of the week. It's something that should inform and shape daily life. Because they are so empty spiritually, atheists probably can't understand the concept of being aware of God in your everyday life and being thankful for the blessings we have. 

Lacking this spiritual foundation, American Atheists naturally assume that Tebow's displays of devotion are self-serving. How cynical and sad. I almost feel sorry for this group of in-your-face atheists because they will never know the true peace that comes from a close relationship with God.  

Holder Should Leave - Please Sign the Petition

Attorney General Eric Holder is trying his best to slither out of responsibility for Fast and Furious.  He was at his Clintonian best as he tried to differentiate between misleading Congress and lying.  He also apparently has the poorest memory anyone has ever seen since he can't seem to recall anything of significance about ANYTHING.  


Just what in the hell does this man do in his capacity as Attorney General since he can't recall a darn thing and consistently denies involvement, not only about this matter but other controversial cases as well (remember the New Black Panther Party incident)?!  He has consistently demonstrated poor judgement with his decisions; he is either incompetent, a liar, or both and for the good of this country he should resign.  If he doesn't voluntarily resign, Obama should publicly ask for his resignation, although I won't hold my breath about it.  


Dick Morris has a petition that will be sent to your representatives asking that Eric Holder be forced to resign.  Please consider signing it, as I have, to try to rid our country of this farcical AG.
