Missourah’s take on the whole “if you dare to disagree with President Obama then you’re a racist” shtick that defines the Democrats these days would be a riot if it weren’t mostly true.

Comment to Matt Yglesias
I left this comment on Matt Yglesias’ snarky post which said, per the standard liberal playbook, that this year’s anti-tax tea parties are all about racism: “your basic tea party crowd isn’t the sort of crowd in which a Confederate flag is unwelcome” Matt, tell the black lady who headed up our communities’ tea part…
Why We Protest
The streets of Washington D.C. are filled with citizens who want President Obama and the Democratic leadership to reconsider the massive government-sponsored reorganization of the nation’s healthcare system. These protesters, many of them politically involved for the first time in their lives, have come from across the nation with a purpose: to let the federal…
9/11, Referendum on Western Civilization
9/11/2001 is day that, like Pearl Harbor, will live in infamy, both because of the Muslim terrorists murdered of nearly 3000 people and western civilization’s reaction to their callous, craven act of violence. Events of the days that followed demonstrated the best of America, times of great drama and heroics followed by a stirring sense…
President Held to Account and Country Benefits
The transcript for President Obama’s address to the nation’s school children has been released as promised. It is a fine speech and one worthy of the office Mr. Obama holds. Although I oppose virtually everything that this president has tried to achieve thus far in his tenure, I hope that he is successful at inspiring…
President Entitled to Indoctrinate Children?
Regarding his plans to address virtually all American children in their schools, is President Obama operating within his proper sphere of authority as President of the United States? Probably, though it’s certainly debatable. But what he has to say – and what teachers do with his words – may give many parents reason answer in…
Congress and Stupid Law Tricks
A recent Rasmussen poll showed that only 29% of Americans are confident that Congress knows what its doing with regard to the economy. This isn’t a great number, obviously, but it’s higher than I would have expected. Not surprisingly it’s liberals who make up the bulk of those comfortable with the Democrats’ handling of the…
The Tragedy of the Week
With Ted Kennedy and Dominick Dunne passing on this week you might think this article is about one of them but you’d be wrong. No, the real tragedy of the week is the end of Levar Burton’s Reading Rainbow, the PBS show the Roots and Star Trek star used to pass on his love of…
A Texan’s Response to Obama’s Spending, Medical Agenda
Despite Democrats’ assertions that resistance to their massive spending programs and plans to create a taxpayer-funded healthcare program have been artificially generated, Sam Bates of Lubbock county, Texas, knows what he thinks about liberals’ agenda and he doesn’t like it. A rancher, Bates took the figurative pen in hand and plowed the message “Say no…
Hillary’s Uphill Fight Against Sexual Violence
Hillary Clinton has arguably done more to combat sexual violence in Africa in her short time as Secretary of State than the entire U.N. has in the last decade.
There are lessons that people in the U.S. and the rest of the civilized world can learn simply from her. We do not have to visit Africa and see the mauled and maimed women first-hand to realize that, whatever our differences politically, we really have a minimal number of problems to deal with in our lives and that it is our general adherence to the rule of law, with all of its compulsions and flaws, that creates the sense – and more than that, the reality – of security most westerners enjoy day in and day out.
