Blowback in Yemen
Posted: December 29, 2009 in News, PoliticsTags: Blowback, Islam, Nonintervention, Ron Paul, Yemen
‘Blowback’ is a term used by the CIA to describe the unintended consquences of our foreign policy. A policy that generates more hatred than love. The attack on a U.S. airliner bound for Detroit has been claimed by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in response to U.S. operations. But the fact is, is that these [...]
The AFC playoff picture sucks!

With the vastly uncontested and hollow victory by the New York Jets against the Colts yesterday and a loss by the Ravens, the Jets have been catapulted into the wild card spot of the playoffs. This is a farce and it sucks and I’ll tell you why. Even though the Colts have injured players that [...]
Iranian protests do not give green light to U.S. intervention

Undoubtedly the protests on Sunday in Tehran, Iran will bring the warmongers out of the wood work calling for an invasion to not only rid Iran of nuclear weapon material, but also, to relieve the people of Iran of their terrible dictator. It comes as no surprise to me, and military action has already been considered, that a full-out invasion [...]
An old Colts strategy…

I’ve been a fan of the Colts since the days of Jim Harbaugh - Captain Comeback, whatever you want to call him, but he brought pride back to Indy since the vacancy of Jeff George left a foul odor in Indianapolis. I still believe to this day that the hail Mary pass thrown in the conference [...]

Question the government’s actions on 9/11 – you’re an extremist nut who needs to shut up. Question the government’s post-9/11 actions – you’re an extremist nut who needs to shut up. Question the government’s foreign policy after 9/11 – once again, you’re an extremist who needs to shut up. Question the government at all – [...]

President Obama has promised change. But what we have gotten are a continuation of the Bush policies. An escalation of a foreign policy in Afghanistan with no end in sight, and economic plans that in the long run will hurt this country. Obama is continuing the Bush policies of suppressing rights. As of December 1, [...]
Who will save the Republic?

As more Americans become disenfranchised with the Obama administration and are more aware of the broken promises, they call out for liberty. In 2008 when everyone was in favor of some sort of action against Iran, Ron Paul was the only one to stand alongside the Constitution. Even when members of his own party called [...]
‘He Promised’: New ad slams Obamacare

“President Obama should frankly feel ashamed that he promised Americans a public option, got people to believe real change was possible, and then never truly fought for it — instead, pushing a mandate that he specifically campaigned against.”
