It seems we have not learned our lesson yet on how badly out of control the federal government is. You’d think we would have learned from ObamaCare and the Frank-Dodd-Morgtage debacle how shoddy (but always ‘well meaning’) legislation can wreak havoc when it finally becomes law, policy, processes and procedures. The Frank-Dodd-Morgtage disaster is a […]

Doesn’t get any more clear than this: Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to closing the detention center for suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay and moving some of the detainees to prisons on U.S. soil, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds. By more than 2-1, those surveyed say Guantanamo shouldn’t be closed. By more than 3-1, they oppose […]

  It’s been a while since I dusted off the Duh! Files category, but this news article cries out for the label: Holder: Closing Gitmo won’t be easy … Closing Guantanamo, he said, “will not be an easy process.” … “It’s going to take us a good portion of that time to look at all […]

Seems President Obama issued the Executive Order to close GITMO without and plan or idea on what to do with the inmates there (most hard […]

Update: From Gateway Pundit and our readers we find that most Americans (i.e., the 70% or so who don’t support liberal policies) reject the idea of closing GITMO: Only 35% support Obama’s first move in office. I heard an interesting theory this morning, that the 120 day suspension is meant to kick this ridiculous act […]

Obama is looking pretty weak and without convictions before even being sworn in. The biggest concern I think every one has (supporters and the opposition) is the fact he is an inexperienced unknown upon whom people projected a lot of hopes and wishes (and fantasies). His handling of the Blagojevich incident was a bad first […]

Obama has so far been a major disappointment to the radical left. He has selected a lot of centrist democrats, has left the major players in place at the Pentagon and is dumping his radical liberal policies in the face of a serious economic crisis (even to the point of proposing massive tax cuts).
