What Difference Does It Make?

Uncanny.

Do you know what nemesis means?

QOTD

There is this new intolerance that people are cheer leading about. They phrase this new intolerance as enlightenment and then in the name of this faux enlightenment, they are quite totalitarian. This intellectual vanity - excessive self-regard. A belief that because [they] think [they're] right, mere process ought not to get in the way. In fact it is something that can be swept aside with a clear conscience because, after all, they know that they are the virtuous party.

~ Mona Charen

QOTD

On this issue, Barack Obama very vehemently disagrees with the President of the United States and should discuss it with him.  [Regarding the President's actions vis-à-vis his rhetoric on Gitmo.]

So True

One wonders what happened to the land that Lincoln envisioned that was a government of the people, by the people, for the people...

Newsweek: Hit the Road Barack

For the left, having an anti-Obama Newsweek cover is like using a church as a stable.

Regressive FORWARDism

Is this what FORWARD means?

Forward has a rich history as a slogan.

Maybe Romney should use "CATCH UP DEMS" as his campaign slogan with a tag line "They're moving FORWARD from a centurys old starting point." REGRESSIVE FORWARDISM might better describe many of the policies.

Obama (Comments on this excerpt):

A New Vision Of An America In Which Prosperity Is Shared

"Too many folks still don't have a sense that tomorrow will be better than today. And so, the question in this election is which way do we go?" President Obama asked at a fundraiser in Chicago on Sunday.

"Do we go forward towards a new vision of an America in which prosperity is shared?" Obama asked. "Or do we go backward to the same policies that got us in the mess in the first place?"

"I believe we have to go forward," Obama said. "I believe we have to keep working to create an America where no matter who you are, no matter what you look like, no matter where you come from, no matter what your last name is, no matter who you love, you can make it here if you try. That's what's at stake in November. That's what is why I am running for a second term as president of the United States of America."

Greedy Shopper

If you go into a store and there is a basketball made in the USA for $40 and an identical one from China for $20 and you buy the one from China, aren't you just as greedy as those greedy corporations or wealthy tax dodgers because you too are looking out for your bottom line and trying to keep as much money in your pocket as you can?

Happy 100 Milton Friedman

If Republicans have Trickle Down Economics, do Democrats have Free-Lunch Economics?

Hey Jude. Hey Dude.

If traditional marriage is the same as racial discrimination, when Paul McCartney during the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony asked just the boys and then just the girls to join him in singing the chorus of 'Hey Jude', was that the same as asking just the blacks and then just the whites to sing?
