by Jerry Mandered September 20, 2010

On August 26, 2010, I penned a post on this very site suggesting a sucker’s rally was in the making. On that day, the DJIA closed at 9,985. On that day, I suggested the DJIA could increase by as much as 10% within the next four weeks. As I write this post, the DJIA is [...]

Thumbnail image for The Ten Commandments of Conservatism

Greetings! Consti here in the secret underground bunker think tank where the staff and I have come up with a tong-n-cheek look at conservative values. They are not necessarily just values a conservative should hold, but more the values every politician who seeks to rule over the American public should be held to. We have borrowed from the biblical tale of Moses and his decent from Mount Sinai to bring onto the children of Israel the moral imperative of their lord to help simplify intellectual digestion for the reader.

A more perfect self-hating nation.

by Consti Tution May 25, 2010

Consti here with some questions for you to answer for yourself. Is it right to question a sitting president’s policies either in time of war or peace? Is it right for a sitting President to condone or participate in foreign criticism of his country? Is it right to bandy about the term “sedition” in reference [...]

by A.B. Arkawy March 23, 2010

Nothing should shock us at this point. I mean we’ve heard the rabid rancour for months over everything from Obama’s birth certificate to health care reform. Still the names hurled at members of Congress last weekend as the House Bill was finally headed to the floor, was nothing short of shameful. Citizens yelling the “n” [...]

by dfunzy December 20, 2009

President Obama’s support for a troop build up in Afghanistan and for the Senate health reform bill has eroded his support among his strongest 2008 supporters.

Laughing Joe: Know the way to 2012?

by dfunzy December 19, 2009

Has anyone here heard of the story of Troy? Lieberman is the insurance industry’s Trojan Horse. All by himself, this neo-Republican could bring down the Dems hold on Congress. Anger enough of Obama’s strongest 2008 supporters, and see who stays home next November. With a terrible health reform bill and the wars, Obama is risking [...]

by dfunzy December 2, 2009

How well is he doing? Who? The President? Mr. Obama? Oh? Is it that time already? Report card time? It’s only been a few months. It’s been a year. January 20, 2010, 12:01 PM Eastern Time will be a year. Stop. Answer the question. Well, it’s been sort of Biblical. Biblical? Yes. It’s sort of [...]
