Rush Limbaugh GOP Leader Debate is Idiotic by Blogger Manic Mike Marcotte

Rush Limbaugh GOP Debate Is Idiotic
The cold winds of March have obviously affected the intelligence and thought processes of people who need to get their thinking straight.
The idiotic debate raging in Washington this week around Michael Steel, the newly elected chairman of the nearly defunct Republican Party, and Rush Limbaugh, a conservative icon for the past 35 years, is beyond foolish.
The battle to be the "de facto leader" of this party is akin to the question of who wants to steer the Titanic after it hit the iceberg. Who represents the party or its values is not relevant when only ...

Public Servants Gone Wild

2008-12-13T02:18:00Z

Political Scandals are nothing new...they're bound to happen once in awhile because there's always gonna be someone now and then who allows temptation to get the best of them. Ideally, incidents of political scandal should occur years apart from each other. Nowadays, they seem to occur monthly if not weekly. The number of scandals in our public servants reflects negatively on our culture as a whole. Greed, arrogance and situational ethics have grown like a cancer in our society. There are fewer and fewer people in America capable of holding public office with total honesty and integrity. Where are the men ...

Election Aftermath--Some Thoughts

2008-11-12T01:15:00Z

* Well, Obama did it. The ballots are all counted...It's one week after the election and there doesn't appear to be any voter fraud to bring into question who won. Barack Obama did it. How? By running a very disciplined campaign, and with a compliant press serving as his pr arm, Obama was able to appear as a Centrist to deceive just enough voters. Victory is his.

Juan Williams, liberal journalist for NPR, couldn't have said it better on election night. Williams, appearing on FOX News, said Obama is "a stealth candidate." He went on to say that the public has no idea who Obama is. Williams is ...

John McCain Wrote Letter in 2006 Warning Congress of Coming Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Train Wreck

2008-10-11T20:02:00Z

It looks like John McCain really did warn Congress about an upcoming Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae train wreck two years before it happened. Humanevents.com has provided a copy of the letter that Senator McCain wrote to then Majority Leader Bill Frist and Banking Committee Chairman Richard Shelby. McCain wrote the letter in 2006.

The letter is signed by 19 Senators. Senator Obama WAS NOT one of them.

This piece of news is a great reflection of mainstream media bias. The biased mainstream media conglomo I like to refer to as NBCABCCBSCNNAPNEWYORKTIMESWASHINGTONPOST is barely mentioning this. But imagine if Senator Obama had been the one to write the ...

Democracy: It Aint Perfect, But It Beats Everything Else

Democracy
Written by Guest Blogger Manic Mike Marcotte

One might describe Democracy as two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty, on the other hand, can be described as a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. I, being the curmudgeon that I am, can even rant about this concept that we all seem to hold so dear.
   Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy. Democracy is a poor system of government at best; the only thing that can honestly be said in its favor is that it is about eight times as good as ...

Mainstream Media Work for Obama

2008-09-26T00:54:00Z

Tony Blankley, columnist for the Washington Times, wrote a great column today on Barack Obama. It's titled The Man Who Never Was. In it he wrote:

The mainstream media have gone over the line and are now straight-out propagandists for the Obama campaign.

While they have been liberal and blinkered in their worldview for decades, in 2007-08, for the first time, the major media consciously are covering for one candidate for president and consciously are knifing the other. This is no longer journalism; it is simply propaganda. (The American left-wing version of the Völkischer Beobachter cannot be far behind.)

Saturday Night Live: the Unequal Opportunity Offender

2008-09-24T00:43:00Z

      Everyone by now has heard about Saturday Night Live's recent unfunny skit where the out-of-touch reporters are discussing story angles on Gov. Sarah Palin. One reporter acuses Todd Palin of incest, then proceeds to infer that everyone in the state of Alaska practices incest too. "It is Alaska you know."
    If you happened to catch the skit either live or replayed, did you notice that there was no laughter when the bomb was dropped? The skit fell flat. SNL has not posted the video on their website like they normally do. Also, it was reported today that the skit was pulled off of ...

Marketers Begin to Reframe Dim Wit Dads and Good-For-Nothing Men

2008-06-14T04:29:00Z
Apparently there are at least some marketers who are changing the way they portray men in their ads. I've been commenting about this for years...maybe this insulting marketing trend is finally gonna die out? No more bumbling Homer: Marketers are reframing dad ads By JENNIFER MANN The Kansas City Star Buying into corporate America’s depiction of men, and dads in particular, one would be pretty sure they’re mostly lazy, dense dimwits with whom only Homer Simpson could bond. Clearly, at least as portrayed in many TV ads, most dads wouldn’t ...

A Prayer Seeking Forgiveness

2008-04-05T15:19:00Z
I came across this "historic declaration" made by Pope John Paul II. He apparently made this a few years ago. It's a prayer basically, and I found it interesting since I work in Christian communications and also have interests in film and the arts. I wish I could set it up with more background info, but I'm very busy these days as you can tell by the fact that I haven't posted a blog since late February!

Here it is...

Let us ask for forgiveness as a Church, for our absence in the mainstream culture. Our failure to have a significant presence ...

Another Sad Abortion Story

2008-02-23T15:17:00Z

This is a very sad story about an artist in England who recently committed suicide after she had aborted her twin babies. Apparently, the egoistic sperm donor wasn't happy about her pregnancy.

There's an enlightening quote at the end of the story by Dr. Emma Carlyon, the coroner who investigated the woman's suicide. Even though Dr. Carlyon was satisfied that the victim had received all the necessary pre-abortion counseling, she said, "It is clear that a termination can have a profound effect on a woman's life."

So many women are duped into believing that going in for an abortion is ...

Michael Moore Invites Fidel Castro to Oscar Ceremony

2008-02-21T20:23:00Z

It came as no surprise today that Michael Moore exposed himself as a card carrying member of The Cult of Che.

You see, Mr. Moore wants to bring Fidel Castro to the Oscar Ceremony. That would be a very touching scene, wouldn't it? I can see it now...Moore goes up on stage to accept his award for Best Documentary. His acceptance speech goes off on a rant about how the Cuban healthcare system is like, totally better than America's healthcare system. Moore looks down at Castro with glistening eyes. The camera cuts to a close up of 'ol ...

Illegal Immigration & the Cult of Che

2008-02-16T15:24:00Z
We need more law enforcement agencies around the country to do this. That would really help our nation's problem of illegal immigration and national security. Wow! Enforce the laws? Phoenix is obviously getting fed up, and we will likely see additoinal cities follow suit. Except for San Francisco, which will eventually be overtaken by Che Guevara wannabes and secede from the Union as a Marxist state. Speaking of Che, did you hear that a Che Guevara flag was proudly displayed in Barack Obama's Houston campaign office? Obama simply called ...

Political Hearsay - Obama's Running Mate

2008-02-12T02:03:00Z
I heard a political rumor today that put a chill down my spine. I know someone who's dad is a successful defense contractor living in D.C. Both also happen to be black Americans. The defense contractor was a supporter of McCain...notice the was. He's now switching his support to Barack Obama. And here's why... The latest political scuttlebutt out there is this...Obama will select Colin Powell as his running mate. Chilling. Calling Obama/Powell a formidable duo would be an understatement. Powell would give Obama credibility in the areas ...

Congress in Continuous Shopping Spree to Alleviate Depression

2008-02-09T15:11:00Z
According to a recent news report, sadness causes people to spend more money. And not only spend more, but significantly more. According to the study, sadness "impairs the ability to spend wisely" and "may encourage more extravagance." So, logically, if this study is accurate, can we conclude that Congress needs medication? Congress must have a severe case of the blues, considering how extravagant they are with our tax dollars. They spend money like most sixteen year old girls at the mall--frivolously, self-centeredly, and with little thought for tomorrow. I'm going to ...
