Who Is Maxine Waters?

August 31, 2010

“[Maxine Waters] is one of the most self-serving, hate-filled, race-obsessed politicians in America. [And] the Democratic Party doesn’t just embrace her. It kneels at her feet.”    — Michelle Malkin Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) has been in the news of late, due to accusations of ethics violations being leveled against her and investigated by the House […]

August 26, 2010

Here is another excerpt from the terrific book Why Jews Should NOT Be Liberals (2001, rev. 2006) by Larry F. Sternberg.

A Brief Word about the Proposed Ground Zero Mosque

August 20, 2010

I’ve been putting off commenting on the whole GZ mosque thing for awhile. There’s just so much to include and respond to and comment on, and only limited time. (Plus, I have other things I’m reading/researching/writing on.) But, I finally decided to make one, relatively brief post, so here goes…. To borrow a phrase, “let […]

August 11, 2010

The following is from Bernard Goldberg’s book 110 People Who Are Screwing Up America (and Al Franken Is #37) (2005/6): ============ Al Franken says he’s a satirist, by which he means he can say nasty things about anyone he wants and then claim it’s all in good fun. Small world. I’m a satirist, too. Not […]

But, thanks to Ron Fenner, who brought it to my attention on FB. ================= When your friends can’t explain why they voted for Democrats, give them this list. They can then pick a reason: 10.

An Inconvenient Word about Laurie David

August 7, 2010

Something a little different today, but you’ll see the connection. Laurie David (aka Laurie Lennard) is the ex-wife of writer/producer/actor Larry David (Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm) and devoted mother of Cazzie & Romy David. She is also a liberal/progressive activist, particularly for the (perceived) dangers of catastrophic man-made Global Warming. (Does that make her a […]
