Several months ago Senator Barack Obama quietly outlined his intent to establish a “civilian national security force.” His adoring media minimized this and except for a few attentive bloggers it escaped notice. Yet, this is back in the news. Why?
In Obama’s World-Series-delaying infomercial last week, he stated the need to “rebuild the military.” [...]

I have NO idea as to the origin of these bumper stickers, but they are good!
Well, I can certainly agree with that - that’s the only reason I am willing to consider McCain: Obama.
I could get rich selling this one. Aw, hell - any one of them…

My aunt sent me an interesting piece by Michael Barone on Monday, Oct. 13, entitled, “The Coming Liberal Thugocracy.” Huh - so I’m not the only one who thinks so. Like so many other concerns about Obama, this originates from something Obama said. Big surprise. Oh, don’t take my [...]

What would a gaudy extravaganza for “The Coronation” be without a dungeon? Sure enough, as Uppity Woman has already reported here wire cages topped off with barbed wire and stun-gun carrying guards await anyone who …. does what?

I have written a few times about my Representative, Jim Clyburn. You know, the one who stabbed the Clintons in the back repeatedly? The one who encouraged the race-baiting around Bill Clinton saying that for Obama to claim that he has done anything different on Iraq from Senator Clinton was a “fairy tale”? Here’s a [...]

Two days ago, the House voted to send Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s “latest impeachment effort” (H.R. 1345) to the House Judiciary Committee (CQ). Merely impeaching President Bush would not remove him from office: removal would require a conviction by two-thirds of the Senate members present. (Constitution, Article I, sections 2 & 3)
Given the Senate’s current [...]

That’s the last line of Paul the Spud’s article, “And Another Thing! at the great Shakesville blog.
Paul the Spud has been yapping “about Obama’s embracing of Bush’s Faith Based Organization (FBO) plan.” He quotes an A.P. article, and boldfaces this sentence:
Obama contended he is merely stating long-held positions — surprising to some, he said, [...]

By all accounts, I suppose the mainstream media will now take it upon themselves to wax rhapsodic over Senator Obama’s latest speech today in Independence, Missouri – this one on patriotism, just in time for the 4th of July festivities.
There are many noble sentiments expressed in that speech so I won’t take issue [...]

Barack, you brag incessantly that you’re a professor senior lecturer in Constitutional Law. Your position on the SCOTUS decision Thursday should have been, all along, a simple YES or NO. As your presumptive Republican opponent’s press release noted:
… Barack Obama has taken multiple positions on banning handguns and the D.C. handgun ban. He has stated [...]

A round up of comments in Obamaland (Talking Points Memo and Crooks and Liars, I dare not tread the threads on the DailyKos, not enough disinfectant in California to delouse me later) on Senator Obama and FISA:
105 Democratic representatives voted for the bill. Obama doesn’t have the political capital to win this battle. It’s silly [...]
