The Borg presidency
“You will be assimilated!”
These were the ominous words of one of the most insidious television villains ever: the Borg.
The Borg were the creation of the Star Trek franchise, appearing on numerous episodes of Star Trek: the Next Generation and Star Trek Voyager. They even appeared in one of the Star Trek films.
They remind me of the Obama Presidency …
Read this only if you're a racist
I guess I’m a racist.
How many times have you heard liberals invoke the “R” word since Barack Obama became president?
You know the meme: you’re only against Obama because he’s black.
Of course it’s bunk …
"Did you ever meet a normal human?"
Ronald Reagan was a man of the people.
This Hollywood Democrat landed a job hosting television’s new General Electric Theater. His life would never be the same. For one thing, he owned a piece of this wildly popular show, which is how he made his fortune.
For another, as part of his job, GE sent him all over the country to visit their plants and give speeches to their employees and customers as a PR move. Some quarter of a million people heard him speak over an eight year period.
Mr. Reagan gave a great speech, which made him popular with the working class Americans who worked in GE’s plants and factories. But something more important than celebrity came out of all his exposure to working class America. He had a chance to listen to normal people …
Obama's credibility is in a free fall
What is your word worth? Everything.
Sadly, President Obama’s credibility is in a free fall. In fairness, every politician, conservative or liberal, is going to say things on the campaign trail that they simply can’t live up to. Sometimes they were blowing smoke in the first place. Sometimes, political realities get in the way.
President Obama’s credibility has gone beyond the vagaries of campaign promises run amuck. His integrity is questionable.
How Republicans can regain the momentum
Obama has crushed the Republicans.
They knew heading into the government shutdown that they will lose the PR wars. Admittedly, they have always rebounded fairly well, as they did during the Gingrich/Clinton shutdowns in the mid 90s.
But times are different today. They are up against the most formidable foe the GOP has faced since the old Soviet Union.
Barack Obama will negotiate with terrorists, anti-semites, and America haters on any corner of the earth. But he has proven his resolve in not only refusing to negotiate with Republicans, but in trying to destroy the Republican brand.
There is one way for the Republicans to regain the momentum …
A day in the life on Facebook
“Shame on Teapublicans like Tom Quiner that think that wanting a Democratic Congress in 2014 can be separated from the outrage we all suffer because of the government shutdown and the sequester.”
This was the final salvo from a Facebook contact who disagreed with my politics.
Here’s the background …
The petty presidency of Barack Obama
Hitler was no match for the "Greatest Generation." Obama didn't have a chance.
Barack Obama vs. the American public
The president told the Park Service to barricade the World War II Memorial.
A bunch of veterans from Iowa and Missouri were flown in on an Honor Flight to recognize their contribution to our nation. The president used them as pawns to inflict as much damage on his enemy, the Republicans. You see, the Park Service was closed down due to an impasse on renewing a continuing budget resolution.
One of the men in attendance was the father of a friend of mine. This vet is 89 years old. What are the odds of him making it back to Washington D.C. again?
Putin and Obama actually agree on America’s lack of exceptionalism
President Obama suggests that American exceptionalism is based on our “policies.”
He misses the point. Our policies flow, imperfectly, from our values that define our character …
