Here is a quote from Matthew Spalding, Ph.D., in a great article at The Foundry: “Military strategy should drive the budget, not the other way around. The mission of the United States military is determined by America’s vital interests and an assessment of the threats to those interests. We must spend what is necessary to [...]
CDN was kind enough to publish “Obama Flagrantly Commits Treason” on January 13, 2013. The article highlighted how Obama approved, with Mohammed Karzai’s acquiescence, the Taliban to open an office in Kabul, Afghanistan. The office is supposedly, in “Dear Leader” Barack Hussein Obama’s own words, “… to facilitate talks.” But, the Taliban doesn’t appear ready [...]
“Dear Leader” President Barack Hussein Obama, on January 14, 2012, said, “My understanding is the vice president is going to provide a range of steps that we can do to prevent gun violence. Some of them will require legislation. Some of them I can accomplish through executive action.” [emphasis mine] And, Obama plans to unveil [...]
The 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution states: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The amendment is very unambiguous: “… shall not be infringed.” The definition of the word “infringe” is also unambiguous: “to [...]
If this isn’t treason, then I don’t know what is. The US Constitution defines treason in Article 3, section 3 thusly: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the [...]
A123 Systems received, in 2009, a $249.1 million federal grant from “Dear Leader” Barack Hussein Obama’s wildly successful (NOT) stimulus program. A123 also received over $100 million in grants and tax credits from Massachusetts. A123 was, however, deeply in debt, and in October 2012, filed for bankruptcy. A123 sold $125 million of its auto assets [...]
Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), on December 21, 2012, said: “Now, the fact of the matter is that Germany has 150 or so people killed a year with guns; Canada, 170; the United States 9,000 to 10,000 a year. We have a murder rate with guns that are 15 to 20 times higher than any other [...]
We are all by now familiar with the tragedy that occurred on December 14 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. CDN readers & contributors have provided several excellent articles and analyses of what happened. Kevin Fobbs provided an analysis what happened and why Connecticut laws failed to keep a gun out of the [...]
First, it was France. The country’s response to its high and growing unemployment problem was to make laying off employees so painful economically that companies will avoid it. Labor Minister Michel Sapin said, “The main idea is to make layoffs so expensive for companies that it’s not worth it.” Sapin, a good friend of France’s [...]
We are all familiar with the “Don’t waste your vote on a third party. It only helps elect the candidate you don’t want.” mantra. That sentiment comes from the leadership of the two major political parties. While the sentiment may be true (witness the 1992 presidential election), what is a person to do when a [...]
Once again, President Barack Hussein Obama has shown that he has a complete lack of class. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, on Sunday, December 2, 2012, recognized at a White House reception the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors award recipients, including comedian (I use the term loosely) David Letterman. Yes, that is the same David [...]
WOW! Talk about “Do as I say, not as I do.” The use of foodstamps by Americans this past Thanksgiving was at an all-time high. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that almost two-thirds of the increase (almost $72 billion) in spending on foodstamps between 2007 and 2011 was caused by an increase in the [...]
Democrats/liberals/progressives (DLP) bought enough votes on November 6 to get Barack Hussein Obama reelected. All is well, right? Well, perhaps not. While there are a myriad of problems at home, let’s see what is currently going on in the foreign policy department. Obama entered office in 2009 with absolutely no foreign policy experience. This article [...]
The additional cost of providing ObamaCare has gone political, particularly for Papa John’s Pizza. Erin Haust and Matt Vespa and Chris Vaca have written very good CDN articles explaining why the Papa John’s dust up is important to America’s freedom. In another article, Chris Vaca says, “I bring this up because once again they show [...]
The fourteenth amendment (ratified in 1868) to the US Constitution, has within it what is known as the “Equal Protection” clause. Part of the fourteenth amendment states, “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person [...]
