Blood-stained Hands

As we close the Christmas holiday season for 2014 we must say congratulations to “activist” Al Sharpton, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, President Barack Obama, New York Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Equality Hypocrites
Monday, Dec 1, 2014

The equality hypocrites are at it again.  You know those hippy throwbacks who think it would be cool if everyone were “equal” like the Constitution guarantees? Just a heads up: The guarantee is for equal access to succeed, not a guarantee for equal success. This president can’t seem to grasp that...

Revolution is Coming
Monday, Nov 24, 2014

Mr. Obama declared himself our emperor last week. Well, at least in so many words. You didn’t hear it?

214 Days
Monday, Nov 3, 2014

President Obama has said he had a pen and a phone and would use them if Congress didn’t act. He insinuates Congress does nothing to help the American people. He seems to forget there are more than 380 bipartisan bills sitting on the desk of his top lapdog, Harry Reid, who refuses to bring them to the...
