GOP And American Victory Over Oil

Boy, the democrats played the oil/energy card really badly. They arrogantly blocked all efforts to leverage US oil and gas reserves until the political pressure from Republicans tapping into American angst over gas prices became so great the Dems had to fold and agree to a vote: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday night dropped […]

Olympic Open Thread II

Published by under All General Discussions

Boy, it was definitely worth staying up to see the 4×100 m men’s free relay last night. The trash talking French are now eating good ol’ American crow! The man of the day is not Phelps, but one Jason Lezak who tore down the last 50 meters and stunned the world! A big Strata Salute […]

I doubt if I will be posting continuously about the Olympics, but feel free to knock yourselves out debating them here. Maybe we can all find common ground to agree on? I will say Micheal Phelps is a swimming machine, his performance in the IM was awesome.

Russia’s Criminal Invasion Of Georgia And Obama Blows The “3 AM Call” Test

Published by under All General Discussions

Want to know what causes war and conflict? Doubt and Caution. The liberal forces in Europe and America keep whining about how we cannot enforce peace and democracy and must simply talk and appease.
