The Palin Effect Felt in NebraskaBy Craig Andresen on May 17, 2012 at 6:18 am |
Reports of the death of the Tea Party have been greatly exaggerated.
One can easily suspect 3 things.
1) Nobody who ascribes to the Tea Party values ever thought they were dead.
2) Liberals knew the Tea Party wasn’t dead but they were hoping beyond hope against another shellacking in November.
3) The Republican establishment is failing to relegate the Tea Party to the sidelines.
Proof of these things comes first in the results from Indiana where long time establishment mainstay, Sen. Lugar, lost his bid for another term and now, from Nebraska.
On the Husker Nation’s home turf, 2 establishment choices had been considered the odds on favorites for Ben Nelson’s soon to be abandoned Senate seat. Nelson’s Cornhusker Kickback doomed his career as Obamacare relied on bribes to secure votes.
Nebraska, a red state, was all but set to nominate either Don Stenberg of Jon Bruning to run against former Nebraska Governor and Senator Bob Kerry.

The Commencement Address Grads NEED to HearBy Craig Andresen on May 16, 2012 at 7:39 am |
Well, another May is half over and another year gone by without any asylum of higher learning asking me to provide sage wisdom to graduating seniors.
I don’t know why.
Dressed in caps and gowns, young people are heading out into the world and they need advice. Not the sort of advice they’re likely to get but real advice. They need the sort of advice that will help them face reality and cope with it.
On the off chance that even one “Future of Our Nation” graduate will see this, allow me to offer such advice.
Young people…YOU are the future of this great nation and I shudder at the very thought of it.
You may well not like my advice and many of you probably won’t follow it, but, someday, you will realize you should have.

From Fast and Furious to Slow and Curious?By Craig Andresen on May 15, 2012 at 6:13 am |
Congressman Issa and the House Committee investigating Eric Holder and the Fast and Furious scandal has given Holder until
Memorial Day weekend to cough up the rest of the 80,000 documents, emails and memos regarding their investigation.
Waiting in the wings is a contempt of Congress charge against Holder.
Last week, Utah Congressman, Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the Oversight in Government Subcommittee on National Security, Homeland Defense and Foreign Operations introduced an amendment to the Justice Department’s appropriations bill to cut dollars from the DOJ budget and another measure which would cut $1 million dollars from the DOJ over its stonewalling and stall tactics regarding Fast and Furious.
Said Chaffitz, “You shouldn’t be using federal taxpayer dollars to lie to Congress.”
The vote on the measures passed, 381-41 and all of the 41 are Democrats.
This, of course means, there are 41 liberals in the House who believe that the DOJ and Eric Holder have every right TO use taxpayer money to lie to Congress.
That is shameful at every level and at every turn.

Liberal Economics 101By Craig Andresen on May 14, 2012 at 6:36 am |
At what point, one wonders, will liberal voters say enough is enough of the green energy debacle? At what point will THEY admit,
OPENLY, that Obama’s green energy program is nothing but a huge lie?
How much money, belonging to American taxpayers, will have to be wasted?
Enbridge Energy Partners and Silver State North went into operation last week and will now file for up to $50 million dollars in U.S. taxpayer stimulus money. Compared to Solyndra, that’s not much. Also compared to Solyndra, this company is BOOMING!!!
What do we GET for OUR $50 million?
We get 2 full-time jobs and energy that costs 3 times as much as energy from natural gas.
Allow me to connect some dots here.

My Mom is My HeroBy Craig Andresen on May 13, 2012 at 6:11 am |
Today is Mother’s Day and I’m going to set politics aside…Just for today.
There was never a day in my life that I can remember, and I can remember things that happened when I was 2 years old, that I didn’t know I was adopted. I grew up knowing it and, trust me, adoption ran rampant through my family.
I was adopted. My brother was adopted. My sister was adopted, cousins and more…Adopted. My mother, the one who adopted me was adopted herself.
Now then, my sister is my real sister and she was adopted my mother’s sister. Aunt Clara May and Uncle Horace had 2 boys of their own and wanted a girl. My mother and father had already adopted 1 boy and wanted another.
So, there wasn’t a day that I didn’t know I was adopted and not a single day that I didn’t know that my sister, whose parents were my aunt and uncle, was my real sister.
This arrangement, of course, made my sisters 2 brothers my cousins and it also made my brother and sister cousins to each other and it wasn’t until I was 6 or 7 years old that I realized…Not everybody’s family was set up in this manner. To us…It seemed normal.

Friday FumeBy Craig Andresen on May 11, 2012 at 7:17 am |
Here we are again, at the end of yet another week. While we would like to report that there has been no liberal stupidity this week…
We can’t.
This week, like last week and all the others has been plumb FULL of it.
According to Ron White, “You can’t fix stupid” and who, after all, am I to argue with Ron White? While we can’t fix it, we CAN report ON it and we shall.
It’s Friday and…
I’m fuming.
Over in France this week…THEY ELECTED A SOCIALIST AS THEIR PRESIDENT!!!
Good grief…CAN’T THEY SEE IT’S NOT WORKING OUT FOR US???
Ummmmm…The only difference would be in France…DEMOCRATS are called SOCIALISTS and over here…SOCIALISTS are called DEMOCRATS!!!
Now, if you call a Democrat a socialist to his or her face…THEY WILL DENY IT AND START SWEARING LIKE SAILORS…but….

Obama’s Strategy ExposedBy Craig Andresen on May 10, 2012 at 8:48 am |
As we head into the back straight of the 2012 election, speeding toward November 6th, expecting the dirtiest campaign in history, one thing is clear.
Obama only needs about 2 dozen more.
2 dozen more…what…exactly?
Distractions.
About 1 per week should do it. 24 weeks…24 distractions.
This week’s distraction is, of course, gay marriage. He’s for it again. Oh yes, Obama was against it then he was for it before he was against it again and then he was evolving and now…he’s for it…again.
In this week’s distraction, he rolled out a new pre-distraction distraction. Joe Biden who went on the Sunday shows and let it slip that he had no problem with gay marriage. OH THE HUMANITY of yet another Biden gaff. This was no gaff. This was a planned distraction to pave the way FOR the distraction.

Obama’s Catch and Release of Taliban FightersBy Craig Andresen on May 8, 2012 at 7:24 am |
THIS is not going to end well.
It has been uncovered that certain prisoners at Parwan Detention Facility in Afghanistan…Taliban fighters, have and are being released.
It’s not the Afghans releasing them. It’s US.
Of course, all the enemy needs to do to secure their release is…
PROMISE NOT TO ENGAGE IN ANY FURTHER VIOLENCE.
Oh boy. Well…If you can’t trust the Taliban who have been caught trying to kill us…Who CAN you trust?
Nobody in this administration will say how many have been released thus far but the program has been in operation for a few years. The administration says releases are rare and there haven’t been that many.
It seems to me, if even one has been released, it’s one too many.
The administration also says they have no idea how many, if any, who have been released, have returned to the Taliban fold, taken up arms and reengaged to kill Americans. We are, it seems, NOT tracking them.

Attorney at KSM Trial’s Disrespectful StuntBy Craig Andresen on May 7, 2012 at 6:36 am |
These people, and I use THAT term loosely, who plotted the 9-11 attacks, killed 3,000 people and wished they could have done more, can’t focus on their trial because some women in the court proceedings at GITMO are not covered up from head to toe in hijabs???
That is the case one of their defense attorneys is trying to make.
Cheryl Bormann, counsel for defendant Walid bin Attash went to last week’s circus of a court hearing in HER hijab and demanded the court ORDER all other women there to do the same so that her client would NOT have to avert his eyes, “for fear of committing a sin under their faith.”
RUBBISH!!!
Adding to the circus atmosphere of this trial…Bowman, the head defense CLOWN held her OWN press conference this morning where she stated, “If because of someone’s religious beliefs, they can’t focus when somebody in the courtroom is dressed in a particular way, I feel it is incumbent upon myself as a counsel to point that out and ask for some consideration from the prosecution. Suffice to say it was distracting to members of the accused.”
First of all… “Religious beliefs???”
