State of the Union: The Best Response is not a Formal Response

2011-01-28
By

Republican Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin delivered the official “Republican Response” to the State of the Union (SOTU). I wish there were no official response, and that’s not because I didn’t want to hear from a Republican. I’m a Republican, and I’m even interested in some of Ryan’s ideas for controlling spending. I’d have...

The 2012 presidential campaign has begun. Not being a political junkie, it gives me no pleasure to report this phenomenon. And no further proof of this assertion is needed than Barack Obama’s tactical shift. You may recall, during the first two years of his presidency, Obama’s statements that he didn’t care if he turned...

Recently, I was re-reading a favorite book of mine that has been on my shelf within eyesight for decades. That book is Ernest Lee Tuveson’s Redeemer Nation: The Idea of America’s Millennial Role (Chicago, 1968).

Maybe I’m turning into a curmudgeon. The phone rings. I pick it up and say, “Spit it. This is Babe the freaking Blue Ox. I guess you want to speak to Johhny Inklinger. He’s gay, you know.” A hang-up. I can’t imagine why. There is no longer a sense of community.

Management 101 As oil in the Gulf of Mexico continues to gush, many Americans have ceased gushing over President Obama, mysteriously surprised he is functioning as a left-wing ideologue with no management competence. Why the surprise? This is akin to being shocked that Miami in July is humid. The red flags were evident from...

As President-Elect Barack Obama readies to assume Commander-In-Chief of this great country, he is joined by, arguendo, the most left-winged cabinet in recent memory. Hillary Clinton, author of “It Takes A Village” is our new Secretary of State. She’ll be joined by the new head of Health and Human Services Tom Daschle who will...

Dear Mr. Obama video letter from Iraq Veteran demolishes Obama on Iraq surge AND on toppling Saddam

Dear Mr. Obama video letter from Iraq Veteran demolishes Obama on Iraq surge AND on toppling Saddam This is one of the most powerful videos I’ve ever seen for conveying the historically pivotal nature of victory in Iraq and the utter speciousness of the moral posturing of those (such as Obama) who characterize it...

Why did Obama bash dads on Father’s Day?

Why is it that every single holiday is turned into a way to bash fathers and men? With Valentine’s Day, a day to celebrate the love of men and women comes the Vagina Monologues—a twist on the V-day promoting awareness how men are abusive to women. On previous Mother’s Days in Berkshire County of...
