McCain's Northern Exposure

You have to give it to McCain's team. They were down and out a year ago and strapped for cash that the straight talk express was grinding to a screeching halt- Now, its seems its running full steam ahead. Team McCain this morning confirmed it selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate.

Palin 44, is a strong fiscal and cultural conservative, mother of five and very pro life. She's also strong on gun rights and will no doubt be a favorite of the NRA. A first term governor, elected in 2006 Palin currently enjoys an 80% approval rating. She's already injected a shot of adrenaline in to the lethargic conservative base and will no doubt give McCain a foothold on some of the still disaffected Hillary Clinton supporters. This rounds out the entire 2008 presidential race as a historic one, with Palin trying to become the first woman vice president in history.

I have no doubt that Palin is more valuable to the McCain ticket than Biden is to Obama. I'll keep a close eye on the polls to see the much expected bounce McCain gets. I am sure the Hope Pope and his worshipers will lose some of their overconfidence and Swagger-they have been already lining up Ludacris for the inauguration party. By all accounts Palin is one tough lady who will attract a substantial number of woman voters. I wonder if Obama is trying to pull Hillary out from under that Bus?

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which h...

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a...

Blacks Only Field Trip Revealing

A Michigan elementary school Principal took group of 5th grade students on a field trip to hear a speech by an African American rocket scientist. The only problem: he only took the black students. This incident for this blogger has much larger revelations other than the obvious. This Principal is the prototypical example of the dangers of a left wing education. A huge problem among blacks specifically is their ability to practice discrimination and segregation while simultaneously preaching "equality" and "inclusion". Dicken Elementary School Mike Madison took a group on black students, part of a group known as the African American Lunch Bunch to hear a black rocket scientist speak. The fact that there is such a group at a such a racially diverse school is troubling. Needless to say, the outrage would be manic if a white organization existed and engaged in the same exclusion of black students. In the black left wing mind, discrimination and racism are acceptable ...
