  4. Like most I chose Number Three, but see Number Five as a very close second.

    Number Three indicates the regrettable transformation of our military from an elite fighting force maintained to protect and defend OUR interests to some sort of effeminized organization whose primary purpose now is to placate our enemies, and promote worldwide Social Justice.

    In other words we now have a military establishment managed and manned by limp-wristed EUNUCHS brainwashed with mendacious Marxian cant a rhetoric.

    PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH was a great motto.

    PEACE THROUGH CAPITULATION is sure to bring about our undoing.

    That said, however, in the practical world of Realpolitik MONEY really IS far ahead of whatever occupies Second Place. Ergo, the soaring, out-of-contrl deficit is just as apt to bring us to ruin us as an effeminate, "socialized" military.

    Thanks to the vast inroads made by Cultural Marxism we are in DEPLORABLE condition

  5. I'm with Ed on #5 and believe me the National Debt is but the 'tip of the iceberg'!

  6. None of you "freedom lovers" voting for 4?

    Ed, I ask again, where were you when your saint was ballooning the national debt at double digit interest rates while Obama is borrowing below the inflation level?
    It's as if you don't understand that the cost of debt service is the critical element.

    If you could get a 2% jumbo on a property that will increase 3% in price on inflation alone, would you do it?

    It's not that I don't think conservatives can handle anything but very simple ideas but their thinking is very rudimentary.

  7. 5 has the worst publically seen consequences because we can count the dollars and we'll see the inflation that follows. Michelle O's lunch menus are of biggest interests to people who benefit from ag price supports.

    Very hard to choose between 2, 3, and 4. The military is an arm of government policy. It's very disturbing to see this policy trend of marginalizing Christians as policy of the US government via the US military (this story only being one example of many).

    So I voted for 3. 4 happens so much we're almost numb to the story. But I can't help being PO'd at the Wikipedia story. To quote a famous secretary of state, "what difference does it make!"

    1. Spoken like a monetrist. A pretty well failed theory.

      We spent under Raygun, Bush and Obama. Clintoon, not so much and that's when we saw some inflation.
      Monetarist theory just hasn't held up.

  9. Number 4 is the most egregious on the list, but for nincompoopery's sake, the award would have to go to number 3 and the latest salvo from the Todd Starnes 'Christian victimhood' noise machine. I fail to understand how Fox News would keep on a reporter who cannot determine the difference between Policy Letters that have the actual force of a Directive [as his articles have employed], and personal correspondence to all hands.

    I guess all's fair when you're trying to frame a narrative...and hypocrisy is ignored when castigating the political opposition for doing likewise. At least Starnes is relegated to the OpEd page in the pimping of his book.

  14. I"m going with number one because I find it UNBELIEVABLE that the whims of a 'first lady' are so IMMEDIATELY enacted into nationwide execution.

    As in "We don't even build a little bridge somewhere before we do a freakin 3 year long multi-million dollar Environmental impact study. Where was the Impact Study for trying to serve kids a bunch of crap for lunch.

    We let someone, just because the current POTUS had hot pants for her at some point in the past dictate policy and have it immediately executed? This is TOTAL BS !

    And I'll say the same thing about Laura Bush with her no child left behind. The no child left behind as turned out to be Slow the rate of education down to the speed of molasses going uphill at zero degrees Kelvin and smart kids who might have learned something are no bored out of their skulls waiting for morons to be able to and 2+3 correctly.

    " I could care less about the national debt. It's a non-issue."

    That is, without a doubt, the most stupid statement I have ever encountered on any blog site or anywhere else. Liberalmann would even know better ! Some one must have gotten the [real] Kid's Avatar. The [stand-up] guy that I know would NEVER make such a dumb statement! Where is Warren?

    1. JonBerg, Maybe you're right. Let's see how it goes. They could print up 10 trillion today, make the debt 7 trillion and what would be the bottom line?
      What would the effect be? You know since 2008, trillions of $ of real estate has simply been erased/bulldozed off the books. We're living in the time where numbers don't really mean anything. They're all fake. GDP, UE, Inflation, All BS. 5 trillion has been printed up by the Fed to give to the banks so they could have a do over from their bad mortgage betting through Oct 2007. National debt is a misdirection imo.

      Let's see how it comes out.

  19. "Let's see how it comes out."

    I'm glad that I won't be around and that I've not created any progeny who will suffer from the economic Hell that surely awaits! The National Debt is but a tiny bit of the impending debt that cannot and will not be paid. "We're living in the time where [numbers] don't really mean anything." Guess what, they will !

  20. I’ll bet her kids aren't eating the pathetic crap that she’s suggesting to our kids!

    Let’s place the blame where it is deserved. Was Moochele in the kitchen dishing out all that undercooked crappy looking meat, that we are seeing in the newspapers? Duh? Maybe not, but it was her who designed the menu. And why are we letting this happen?
    Isn’t it bad enough that the school lunch system is a disaster, and now they want to control what they consume by allowing Moochele control it ? Who the hell ever said that she’s an expert on nutrition? Let her give that crap to her own children.
    Why are we allowing that Moose to mess with our kids

  22. These Progressives can DRAMATIZE all they want to about Richard Nixon's Resignation Speech, but the facts lie (pardon the Pun) where they are. What Nixon did FORTY years ago was peanuts compared to what Obama has done to this Nation in the past 6 years or so.

    Yes, President Richard M. Nixon may have been a bit paranoid and a complex man. His transgressions with respect to Watergate were foolish, in fact they were stupid for a man of Nixon's intelligence. But, he let is paranoia and love of control get the better of him and proved to be his undoing.

    Nixon's resignation speech was, in my estimation act of integrity, class, respectful. and concern for ultimately doing the right thing for the nation and er citizens. For this I respect the man.

    Nixon came to the presidency imminently, extremely, qualified with many years of public service under his belt. He was in office during the formation of the EPA and OSHA, agencies the left has grown to love. He ended the Vietnam Police Action, opened relations with Communist China, again all things the left applauded. In short he worked in the best interest of this nation and our people. Something sorely missing today and for some time now.

    You can say what you will about Nixon, his tapes, and Watergate, I was not particularly fond of Nixon either, but the man did much good and some not so good things for this nation he loved.
    What Nixon did 40 years ago was nothing compared to what Obama is doing now
    So, the bottom line is that I'd take Richard M. Nixon over the current officeholder in a heartbeat. If you or anyone wished to question my reasoning and play the race card and call be a racist have at it. It will sat more about anyone who does than it would say about me or anyone else who thinks as I have just enunciated.
    Although Presidents know the importance of the domestic politics of foreign policy, they often miscalculate, and they grow into the job. But unfortunately,, Obama never knew anything about the importance of domestic politics or of foreign policy, and NEVER grew into the Job. But he lied throughout his first term and continues to lie throughout his second term. .

  23. Liberals are very Silent about Obama’s shreds the Constitution.. Obama has used the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to guarantee any surveillance the government wants without probable cause. Nixon spied on a virtual hand-full. Barack Obama’ s NSA wire-taps the entire nation and monitors the e-mails of thousands.
    Richard Nixon was not interested in destroying the constitution.

    Nixon was a saint compared to Obama and his ilk!

  24. I suppose AOW publishes comments such as Anonymous and Kelly Cush Vitale in the name of free speech. They indirectly discuss topics on this post and directly show disrespect for a sitting President and First Lady.

    And we wonder what has happened to civility and why. It is pathetic really.

    ReplyDelete
  25. RN, your comments on AOW’s blog wass a bit over the top, IMO.
    My blog, is still MY BLOG and no one, NO ONE tells me what to write or how to write it!! Period!
    No one on MY bog ever attacks any Conservative for their opinions, or called anyone vile names. I pretty much allow comments to pass as long as those guidelines are kept.

    I don't agree with everything posted there, but I do allow a difference of opinion and I do not allow savage attacks on those who give them. I also do not like the sort of gross insults that are allowed over at the blogs mentioned.

    I'm surprised you didn't let your disgust known over at those blogs where they insult and degrade President Obama and his family, on a daily basis, with the most appalling racist attacks.

    Apparently people who criticize Richard Nixon and his presidency are more hateful than the people on those blogs who degrade, by vile name-calling the First Family and who never fail to attack everything any liberal says or does.

  28. RN,
    1. You are assuming to much by speculating as to why I allow some comments to stand and not others.

    2. I don't babysit my blog.

    Indeed, this morning from approximately 8:40 A.M.-10:15 A.M., I have been out of the house with Mr. AOW to do the weekly grocery shopping. Furthermore, I had job responsibilities to fulfill as I prepare for the start of the 2014-2015 school term.

    3. Insulting a sitting POTUS and a FLOTUS has a long history dating back to at least the American Civil War.

    4. I am indeed a staunch advocate of free speech within certain parameters. The definition of the term civility has room for interpretation.

    5. If you don't like the way I run my blog, buzz off. My blog, my rules.

  29. Furthermore, even as busy as I am, I have the guts to run this blog without comment moderation.

  30. Picture this,...... Your on a picnic in the park on a hot summers day with your family, you’re grilling hot dogs. You pay little attention to the drone flying overhead. It’s probably a UPS or FedEx drone making a package delivery. But NO! It’s not! It’s the FOOD POLICE and they are monitoring the items you brought to the picnic. The hot dogs, buns, potato chips and soda pop exceed your family’s maximum caloric allowance for the day. Besides, you have non-diet soda pop that has been completely outlawed because it contains sweetener. You are in real hot water with the food police.

    If that Orwellian view of the future sends chills down your spine maybe it should, because it is not far-fetched at all. What it really is , is a composition of Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, combined with the menu designed by The First Lady of the United states of America, Your Highness Michelle Obama a combination of two Mental Midgets calling the limits on soft drinks and food that is allowed by rule of his kingdom!

    The food police we all had to deal with growing up were mom and dad. We don’t need to turn more parenting over to government. KING AND QUEEN OBAMA KNOWS BETTER!

  32. Stephanie, watergate wasn't even on par with a respectable college prank. That these pathetic libs are still yapping about it is the very definition of pathetic.

    What life sucking effects has watergate had on the country At All, but comapred to lbj stealing social security funds, starting welfare (life sucking things 50 years later) and carter creating the federal dept of education, and a person would have to be either dead or a libtard to not realize how much public education sucks and has sucked in America shortly after the dept was created.

  33. Granted some here are out of line, but like some pointed out, what about the places like AOW, Mustang, Geez, and the classic of bygone days, Malcontent...

    Sorry to say there is just not much here that even comes close to rivaling those places not just for their naked hate, but for some, their refusal to even enter into a conversation with the left.

    Shaw has never banned a conservative as long as they did not personally attack anyone... can some of those other blogs make that statement?

    I am pretty sure the people of whom you speak here today are not part of the regular crowd... and you know that...

  36. Like Laura Ingraham said....: 'Iraq Is Worse Off' Now Than Under Saddam Hussein”...
    Laura is right!!! Obama dropped the ball all so he could appease his far left base for the 2012 elections, there isn’t any doubt about that.

    Obama cut and run to appease his far left base for the 2012 elections.
    He did not try an negotiate, just left (also left a lot of military assets in Iraq).
    Although it really started when he drew a line in the sand, and then did it again, and then did it again.
    Well to be fair, you can say that Bush started this mess, and you may be correct, however, Obama has made a complete mess out of the whole the middle east since. Then his stance with Putin (the new world leader) really showed the whole world his weakness and the weakness in the US since..
