What were they thinking?

Yesterday on the steps of our nation's capitol, a group of activists held a rally that they entitled "We are Women".  The poorly attended rally...

was billed as an opportunity to tell Congress, who by the way is currently in recess, to stand up for what the feminists claim are their "rights" to free contraception and free abortions.  Some of the more creative women, shall we say, dressed the part, literally.

Donning the costume of, well, their private bits.  They were joined by others from the group Code Pink later to reinforce their demands.

Now let me make something completely clear:  I am a man who fully supports EQUAL rights for women.  There is no reason that women shouldn't be treated, hired, fired and promoted on an equal basis with men.  The law has NO business discriminating against anyone because of their gender.

That being said, I have a question.

After years, no decades, of being told that women do not want to be treated as sexual objects, WHY are then now presenting themselves as nothing more than SEXUAL OBJECTS?

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood...

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood..."

Well, it certainly looks like President Obama has gotten what he wants.  He has been doing his utmost to make this election a choice of ideologies between conservatism and his own brand of "pragmatism" which is of course thinly veiled liberalism.

So a stark choice then.  Fine.  That's what we conservatives have wanted since the day Ronald Reagan left office.

In the last 80 years, we have had only 8 years of conservative stewardship.  8 years when the power of the private sector and the strength of the individual were set free and allowed to grow.  Those 8 years under Ronald Reagan set in motion 27 years of success, wealth and prosperity for our nation.

In 2007, when the liberal party gained control of both houses of Congress, they began to turn the nation away from the path of success.  In 2009, by taking the Presidency they had two years of unfettered control to "turn the ship of state" and turn it they did.

Look at any economic measure, employment, poverty, business activity, anything and you will find that in 6 years of liberal stewardship of our economy we are right back where we started in 1980.

So yes, let's make this election a choice.

Let us be bold and take the road "less traveled by"

4 more years of Democratic disaster, or a return to the policies of conservative success.

As Frost said, it will make "all the difference".

The Myth of the Undecided Voter

As the presidential election approaches, I have seen more and more articles about the "undecideds".  This morning, Politico had an article about "The disappearing undecideds..."  In the article, the author basically lamented that our country has become so polarized that the "middle" where these undecideds supposedly reside are becoming fewer and fewer.  But seriously, let me ask you...

Is there any INFORMED citizen in this country that hasn't already made up his or her mind?

I will agree that there are those who adhere to the extreme, those Democrats that would never vote for a Republican for any reason, and vice versa.  Call that 1/3rd of the voting public.

There are also those who really try to understand the issues, weigh the people and personalities of those running, and make the best decision that they can, though they tend to "lean" to one side or the other.  Call that also about 1/3rd of the voting public.

That leaves a third of the voting eligible population who are either too clueless, too self-absorbed or honestly too stupid to have an opinion.

You know some of these people.  They live in their own world, oblivious to virtually everything around them.  They seldom watch news programs, never read newspapers or magazines, have no opinions, and feel strongly about nothing.  If it weren't for the relentless efforts of political parties, they wouldn't even be registered to vote, let alone actually take part in an election process.

Are THESE the people you want choosing your next president?

You know, THESE PEOPLE!



OK, so call me a snob, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with these people breeding, let alone electing our president.

If ANYONE can live in this country at this time and NOT have an opinion about anything, something is seriously wrong.

So, the next time YOU come across one of these clueless creatures who know more about who is on "The Bachelor" or "American Idol" than who their Senator or Congressperson is, PLEASE politely encourage them NOT to vote.

This has been a message in the public interest.

Go back to your lives citizens...

Just a helpful hint...

For those LGBTQ folks trying to raise the awareness of the rest of America through their "Kiss-In" at Chick-fil-a this week, just a bit of advice.  If you want to influence your average straight male in this country into being more open to your cause, post more pics like this...

This one...  Not so much...

Now... who will see humor in this post?
