Napolitano had Better Keep an Eye on This Person….

Quotes from JFK:

“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.”

“Domestic policy can only defeat us; foreign policy can kill us.”

“In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility - I welcome it.”

“Israel was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy[…]

No, Hannity, America is NOT a ‘Christian Nation’

Obama the other day made an intelligent remark. Shocking not only because it was intelligent, but also because of the manner in which the Right Wing responded. It may well also have been the first time I agreed with him.

What was the remark? That America is not a Christian nation.

Of course it isn’t. The First Amendment states that rather clearly for those who, like Hannity, can’t seem to grasp this truism and historical fact.

Was America built on the Judeo-Christian heritage? Of course it was.

Could America have been created in any other religious tradition? Of course not.

Barry and the Bank CEOs

Today Barry took the bank CEOs to the woodshed.

And the bank CEOs went with him.

The absolute absurdity astounds intelligent people.

At what point do these bankers stand up for themselves and their country?

Where was the CEO who looked at Obama and said,

“You have neither the responsibility nor the[…]

#2. Under the Obama budget, CBO projects that the national debt will soar over the next 10 years from 40 percent of GDP today to a shocking 82.4 percent. (Ronald Reagan left office with the national debt at 42 percent of GDP).

#3. The president’s budget also states that total federal borrowing will grow by $2.7 trillion this year alone, an increase of 27[…]

RICO Twins UAW and Congress

In today’s (4/1/09) WSJ is an OpEd in which it is pointed out that the “bailout” of Detroit is simply tax dollars going into the UAW’s coffers, pure and simple. It has little, if anything at all to do with the success of domestic auto production.

The column is here (requires a subscription).

Many of my friends already have told me they’ll never buy another American car: They don’t wish to buy a product from the American government rather than private industry. One assumes these friends are not unique across the American landscape.

Can one even imagine going to the government on a[…]
