Mark Sanford: A Complete and Utter Tool

The mystery surrounding missing South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford has been solved. He was in Argentina visiting his mistress.

It's one thing to cheat on your wife. Its one thing to not even spend Father's Day with your four children because you're too busy getting some on the side. It's an entirely different thing to completely shirk your duties as governor—possibly putting lives at risk if a state emergency broke out and there wasn't a governor around to handle the situation.

Not only is Sanford’s behavior a betrayal to his family, but also suggests underlying psychological issues by putting his entire career in jeopardy neglecting his duties as governor for an affair.

Sanford’s incredibly selfish act not only negatively impacts his family, his constituents, but also the conservative movement.

Sanford resigned from the Republican Governors Association. He should resign the governorship as quickly as possible to minimize the damage to his party and the State of South Carolina.

Colin Powell: Stop Calling Yourself a Republican

On Sunday’s Face the Nation, Colin Powell went on the defensive. Apparently Mr. Powell doesn’t like the fact that Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh have called him out on essentially throwing the Republican party under the bus.

In addition to voting for Obama, Powell freely admits to voting for Kennedy, Johnson, and Carter. Stating that he believes in voting for the best person for the job, not party affiliation. Powell did note he voted for Reagan, Bush 41 and 43. I guess between 1980-1992 and 1999-2004 were Powell’s so called true Republican years. He was a staunch Republican during the years which benefited his career the most. One can ponder whether he ever was truly a Republican at heart, or if he played one to advance his own career.

Powell obnubilated the reasons why Republicans have lost power with nonsensical rhetoric about not reaching out to others, not realizing Americans want bigger government and higher taxes. As if he’s taking talking points straight out of the James Carville playbook.

You just don’t get it Mr. Powell. A little over two years ago, Republicans dominated with power. Republicans didn’t lose because Americans suddenly realized Republicans were too exclusionary and insanely obsessed with abortion, guns, and gay people. Republicans lost because they weren’t Republican enough. They weren’t sticking to their core values. Those core values attracted the Blue Dog Democrats and Independents who voted for Reagan.

The Republican Party has taken the carrot from Democratic Party’s stick and it has cost them. Not only is it helping to define the Republican Party negatively, it has caused tremendous amount of in-fighting amongst Republicans.

Becoming more like Democrats is not the solution to winning back power. Using minor issues as a litmus test for defining a true Republican is myopic and destructive. The real litmus test for Republicans should be whether one believes in the core values of a fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, and smaller government. It’s like getting into an argument what constitutes a true Christian. Either you believe in Christ as your savior or not. Believing the government is your savior or not, should determine party affiliation.

Republicans need to come clean with the American public on losing sight of being the party that defends the American wallets from a bloated government. The Republican Party needs to win back trust by admitting mistakes and learning from them. To quote from Bill Murray in the movie Stripes, the Republicans need to become a lean, mean (big government) fighting machine.

Powell needs to leave the party before he loses his last shred of credibility and tarnishes his historical legacy. Powell should realize beating up on the Republican Party will eventually raise questions about his own contribution to controversial mistakes made as Secretary of State.

The Mainstream Media Unhinged: CNN "Reporter" Susan Roesgen Bashes Tea Party Attendees

Thanks Susan Roesgen for your wonderful tirade! It proves what everyone knows... that our country's mainstream media is corrupt and rotten to the core with liberal bias.

While the public knows how organizations like CNN manipulate news to sway public opinion, could one imagine the faux facade of journalistic fairness cracking apart in such a delicious meltdown of a CNN reporter?

While Susan Roesgen's video will anger people, don't let it get your blood pressure up. You see, this is a major break through because the hate is no longer hidden but out in the open for the whole world to see. Gone are the days of the left proclaiming the right's paranoia of the mainstream media. Anyone watching this video cannot deny it. Sure, CNN could say Roesgen was an emotionally unstable reporter but we know her views are the norm rather than anomalous.

Exposing the mainstream media's bigotry toward conservatives hopefully will put the spotlight back on journalistic accountability. Leftist bigots like Susan Roesgen will be a thing of the past as the public's trust wanes.

Evolution of Michelle Obama: From $30 Gap Dresses to Personal Make-Up Artist

Michelle Obama humbly appeared on The Tonight Show and The View showing off her modest, inexpensive dresses. Michelle announced to Jay Leno that she only spent $30 on a dress. Women rushed out to wear the off-the-rack, uninspiring dresses because Michelle wore them.

Watching Michelle's low budget fashion shows, I knew it was a calculated crock. It was a political strategy to draw more attention to Palin's extravagant $150,000 wardrobe and play the class warfare card --rich Republicans against working class Democrats. But, we know Michelle Obama is anything but a working class gal.

Donna Ricco, an off-the-rack designer, was elated when Michelle wore her dress on The View. Ricco stated it was smart of Michelle to seek out things that are available to everybody and asked, "How democratic is that?"

According to the NY Post, Michelle is ditching the frump for glamour. Out are the cheap ass dresses. In is Michelle's personal make-up artist who flies all around the world with her.

When tent cities of newly homeless keep expanding across America, it's nice to know our First Lady's priorities are focused on employing a full-time make up artist to soften her look with beautiful fake eyelashes.

Between flying pizza chefs across the country to a personal make-up artist, the Obamas are starting look like greedy CEO's living off the hog.

Obama's Somali Pirate Crisis Pizza Party

Captain Richard Phillips perilously spent his fourth day in a lifeboat drifting in the Indian Ocean with Somali pirate guns pointing at his head. His mind is probably racing wondering if the United States will be able to save him or if he'll ever see his family again.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama spends the fourth day of the pirate crisis throwing a pizza party for 140 guests. Obama spared no expense -- probably on the taxpayer's dime -- flying in chefs from the St. Louis restaurant Pi.

I wonder if any members of the mainstream media were invited to this soiree? Maybe, since there are so many cute stories about his pizza party floating around on the Internet. No mention of Captain Phillips ordeal in the fluffy Obama pizza stories.

If only we had a Republican president, perhaps the press would actually do their job and keep him fully accountable for the way he's handling this crisis.

Obama taking America back to 1860: In appeasing slave mode to all the world leader masters

I often wonder how Barack Obama's legacy will impact the black community. Is it good to have a president that shows the world he's gutless and weak? How will this bode for future generations of black people who may want to run for higher office? He's seen bowing to the Saudi King Abdullah, apologizing for the United States for its arrogance and heavy handedness, and stroking the egos of Muslims by assuring them that we're not going to wage war on Islam.

Like a cowering slave, Obama hopes that if he plays into the hands of world leaders, they will have mercy on the United States and not strike us hard. In his head, he thinks his clever moves will make tyrants respect his submissiveness on some level. But, they will see him as an easier man to break and use him as a tool to further their own agenda making the United States weaker in the process.

The liberal mainstream media and others so badly wanted an African American in the White House. They didn't care if he wasn't qualified. So, what if he wasn't? In their myopic world view, the most important thing is to elevate a black man to the highest office in the country. As if it would magically right all the wrongs of our country's prior slavery and subsequent discrimination against black people.

The mainstream media stream rolled Hillary Clinton when they found a bigger token -- Barack Obama -- to alleviate their liberal guilt. They fail to see their own racism by failing to hold Barack to the same standards as other politicians. They perceive Obama as too weak to be questioned and held accountable for his actions. Why else do they protect Obama at the expense of their own journalistic integrity and legacy?

If Bush had numerous nominees with tax issues, the media would've torn him apart. With Barack, it stopped becoming a passing news story after the first two tax cheats. If Bush still had a treasury department months into his presidency with unfilled positions, would this be front page news?

Can you imagine the cross examination the media would've given the Bush administration for spending trillions of dollars without even knowing what he was signing off on? Or if the Republican controlled Congress voted on a trillion dollar stimulus bill they didn't even read?

Liberals got what they wanted...a president with black skin. Now, if he fails miserably by making us weaker economically and militarily will it be worth having the first black president go down in history as grossly incompetent? Will that ultimately advance the black community or slow their process for another few generations? All because the media wanted to advance symbolism over competence and experience.

We won't have equality in this country until all people are held accountable to the same standards. Too bad the mainstream media don't realize they keep propagating racial stereotypes instead of resolving them.

Senator Jim Webb: A bleeding heart advocate for criminals

In this Sunday’s Parade magazine, Virginia Democrat Senator Jim Webb criticizes the United States for having the largest prison population in world. He states either we (the United States) are the most evil people on earth or we’re doing something very wrong by putting so many people behind bars.

Jim Webb seems to view many criminals as not harmful to society but victims of a dysfunctional and unfair justice system. He believes that drug users and “minor” drug dealers shouldn’t be clogging up our prisons.

I would like to ask Sen. Webb what exactly constitutes a harmless “minor” drug dealer? Maybe we should release these “minor” drug dealers into Webb’s neighborhood where they can be rehabilitated with his liberal compassion.

Webb tries to make an argument for releasing these so called minor criminals by stating that putting these people in jail has done nothing to break up the power of the illegal drug trade or reduced drugs from reaching our citizens. So, letting lower level drug dealers do their thing on our streets should now be a minor offense because the drug trade will still flourish regardless?

Webb is placing misguided blame onto our system. He seems to think our evolution as a society isn’t measured by how well we protect our citizens from criminals but how well we protect nonviolent criminals from facing the consequences of their behavior. Webb thinks treating these people as what they are somehow makes them even more dangerous to society. Again, it’s putting the blame on society and the system instead of the person who decided to commit a crime.

Our prison system does leave something to be desired. It’s not because society is too quick to throw away the key on criminals. Our prison system is the victim of ineffectual government bureaucracy.

I hope the Republican Party will laminate Webb’s Parade magazine article and bring it back to the surface when he runs for re-election. Wanting to release drug dealers from prison is the type of quote that can bury a political career. And we know his original victory was built on macaca.
