  • Let’s just stop quoting the Founding Fathers, okay?

    For the last several years I have watched activist on the left and the right who find it necessary to quote the founding fathers as the end all to a political argument. After seven years, maybe we’ve just done it too much. As much as we all respect the founding fathers–Madison, Jefferson, Washington and so…

  • In NC—Real Republicans know Thom Tillis has a problem: Sen. Kay Hagan has your back– Thom Tillis will stab you in it.

    Raleigh—NC  The United States Senate race in North Carolina in all likelihood will be the most expensive political race this year. It may very well end up in the top five of the most expensive nonpresidential political races of all time. How North Carolina votes will be a direct reflection on whether or not the…

  • Tea Party Snapshot: Why They Believe What They Believe

    Do you ever wonder why people believe in the Tea Party ideology? I’ve wondered.  And, I’ve spent time gathering information that may glean some light on why they believe what they believe.  Most anyone who considers themselves left of center could take this information and formulate strategy and talking point to change some minds.  The…

  • Who’s Got More Mojo Nixon Or Paul?

    Interesting how 40 years can ease the pain of the Nixon Administration.  It’s also interesting how 2 years can make others bitter.  Republicans are mulling over who to blame for their plight in the last two elections.  Was it ghosts from the past? Or is it a new breed of Republican.  A breed that measures…

  • Chris Christie Slowly Paving The Way To 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

    People laughed at me because I gave Chris Christie overwhelming odds of being our next president. They laughed at me when I said it is possible and somewhat likely he would win over Hilary. But, there are two concepts we should all get straight in our little brains: 1) Moderate Republicans are coming back into…

  • The Do Nothing Plan For The Non-Fiscal Cliff

    The White House said it would veto the current plan offered by House GOP leaders to raise tax rates only on income above $1 million, while House Speaker John Boehner tried to build momentum for the Republican proposal. So, maybe the plan-by both Democrats and Republicans is to run out the clock and do nothing. …

  • Oak Level: The Gift That Keeps On Giving

    Below is a comment I posted on the Rocky Mount Telegram today under an article that had nothing to do with Oak Level Annexation.  The reason I put the article there was because someone (Oak Level supporter, no doubt) directed the comments attached to the article back to …guess what? Oak Level and their annexation…

  • I call’em Tea Baggers for a reason

    The Tea Party is popular amongst people who feel helpless at a perceived loss of control of the government since January 2009 when Barack Obama became President. It didn’t take long for an elite group of rich people who couldn’t stand the prospect of an African-American sitting in the White House to step in and…

  • I’m with Obama: A Thank You would be NICE!

       In Miami on Thursday when he took a jab at the Tea Parties that had been rallying that day against taxes, big government and government overspending. “I’ve been a little amused over the last couple of days where people have been having these rallies about taxes” President Obama stated to a laughing and cheering…
