It took about 35 years, but the Republican Party is just where it wants to be. They have a Congressional majority and are flush with the optimism of a political movement that they believe has broad popular support. They are looking forward to perhaps winning the presidency in 2016 and finally being able to… Continue reading The Pendulum Swings Both Ways

TIME FOR OBAMA TO DECLARE WAR….ON REPUBLICANS
As seen on America The Not So Beautiful November 17, 2014 By Mike Caccioppoli No need to mince words here. Starting with immigration reform President Obama must do what is best for the country and the people who live here and not give a fuck what the Republicans, still very much led by the Tea… Continue reading TIME FOR OBAMA TO DECLARE WAR….ON REPUBLICANS
Go Home
I came across this article by Fred Barnes in The Weekly Standard because I happened to be trolling around right wing sites and thought he had a provocative, interesting idea. I also found a site that castigated Progressives for Palin Derangement Syndrome. You know, that knee-jerk negative reaction the left has whenever Palins’s name comes… Continue reading Go Home
Uncompromisingly Wrong
The Fourth of July is always a great time to revisit what makes the United States a great nation, and I always come back to the same characteristic: Compromise. There is probably nothing more American than our genius for compromise, even more so than apple pie and motherhood, both of which were invented by people… Continue reading Uncompromisingly Wrong
With a Court Like This, Who Needs Congress?
The Tea Party and most social conservatives can sleep easily throughout the summer now. The two Supreme Court decisions rendered on Monday should delight the right and make the inaction across the street in the Capitol seems like a mere distraction. Like a fly buzzing around the collective government heads. The conservative revolution has been… Continue reading With a Court Like This, Who Needs Congress?
The Party’s Been Over
I think I’m just going to assume that the Democrats will lose the Senate in November and prepare myself as I would for any frustrating event I’ve endured over the past few years. That way, if they do eke out a win or tie, then it will be that much sweeter. There’s been no shortage… Continue reading The Party’s Been Over

Republican Group Enjoys Idea of Shooting at Cars with California License Plates
Bill Whittle, an apparently influential member of the Republican/Teaparty/Conservative movement and blogger, was invited to address a Republican gathering in Texas. His sick humor was enjoyed by all in attendance especially his suggestion that shooting at people in cars with California plates is fun and a necessity for all true red blooded patriotic Texans. And… Continue reading Republican Group Enjoys Idea of Shooting at Cars with California License Plates
The Final Push
Far be it from me to argue with one of the greatest historical minds of the 20th century, but we essentially have an executive that serves a six year term, even if we get two extra bonus lame duck years for our efforts. So it has been with most other presidents, and so it probably… Continue reading The Final Push

The Political See-Thaw
Yes, that sound you heard out of Washington was not just John Boehner’s rant against his conservative brethren, it might have been the long-awaited thaw in relations between the two parties in the Congress over the budget. And you probably thought that Republicans didn’t believe in warming. Well, don’t get too excited. After all, 94… Continue reading The Political See-Thaw
Good News for Obama: The Right Will Rise Again
Don’t get me wrong. What’s happened over the past five weeks has been a colossal, epic failure on President Obama’s part. All he needed to say about the health care law was that you could keep your insurance if it met minimum standards, and then he needed to repeat those standards. He also needed to… Continue reading Good News for Obama: The Right Will Rise Again
