Hispanics are learning a harsh lesson. I have two interesting reads about how the left and right are blowing it with this key demographic group. Let’s begin with the GOP’s issues with Hispanics: Many in the Republican Party are addicted to the divisive practice of exploiting nativist fears to scare up votes. 
As with any […]

It’s the old proverb again – watch what you ask for, you just might get it. The Dems will now attempt to lead a nation that is fed up with politics as usual, and the political extremes who always seem to battle to a stale mate so that nothing gets done. It has caused a […]

Sarah Palin confirmed in Georgia she was no albatross in the 2008 Presidential election.  For if she were one, there would not have been such a huge win for GOP Senator Chambliss there yesterday in the runoff for the US Senate. Sen. Saxby Chambliss trounced Democrat Jim Martin Tuesday night, winning his second term by a […]

As I mentioned a few days ago, work is kicking my butt and my time to blog is limited. But I do want to make one observation about how Obama is playing the far right and far left to his advantage. Basically, we have a bunch of extremists on both ends of the political spectrum […]

As more and more evidence comes in refuting the Chicken Little calls from the pews of the Church of Al Gore/IPCC, it seems the idea of blowing trillions of dollars and destroying the minimal, quality of […]

The Stratapherians are hosting family and friends this wonderfully sunny day in Northern Virginia, looking back on a year that has been personally one of the best we have had. Our 19 year old sun is heading into Marine boot camp in mid-December, so this Thanksgiving is extra special. We all want to thank all […]

It seems the national security tests of Obama and the Democrats is beginning in India, and now I can understand why Obama was hesitant to swap out people at the Department of Defense. Since he has been elected he is seeing information and getting advice that would gray the hairs of most people. I can […]

Some interesting news out today about an intercepted discussion amongst al-Qaeda regarding a Madrid-like coordinated attack on the train system in or around NY City: An internal memo obtained by The Associated Press says the FBI has received a “plausible but unsubstantiated” report that al-Qaida terrorists in late September may have discussed attacking the subway […]
