And so the veil of deceit lifts. The news media, so eager to proclaim Obama as the messiah during the election cycle, now turns on him and begins to devour him. What changed? In one sense, nothing. Obama's promises of socialist changes are progressing. Universal health care, nationalization of manufacturers and banking, imposition of union … Continue reading Tea Party

The Loss of Conservatism
Image by Getty Images via DaylifeIf the major news media has succeeded today in discouraging conservatives from voting, the trifecta will be complete - Legislative, Executive, and Media. The blame for such a loss can be spread to many people. Let's start at the top. I like President Bush, and I threw my entire support … Continue reading The Loss of Conservatism
Thursday Things
I haven't posted much this week. Perhaps it's because I'm not thinking much this week. Here's a little scrimpet of stuff that has passed by my noggin but is too little to write about - I haven't given much thoughts to the electrion so far this year; it bores me already. I don't like any … Continue reading Thursday Things
Little Linkage
Short topics, small commentary today. I have a book review I'll try to do at lunch, but this should hold you till then. An oddity I've noticed: the more I post, the less you comment. There were over 400 visitors yesterday to Chasing the Wind and only 1 comment (and that one appeared to be … Continue reading Little Linkage
In God We Trust
I find this non-ruling interesting: The U.S. Supreme Court was asked to review whether the words "In God We Trust," written prominently in large block letters on the Lexington, N.C. county government center, violated the so-called separation of church and state. As an aside, I'll keep saying this until the news media gets it: there … Continue reading In God We Trust
John Roberts Replaces Karl Rove
What happened to all the Karl Rove stories? Karl Rove go *poof* as the news media gears up to oppose John Roberts for the Supreme Court. The Karl Rove stories were just like the Tom DeLay stories. There was no meat to them, no substance, just media frenzy looking for something to damage Bush. The … Continue reading John Roberts Replaces Karl Rove
Global Dimming
The news media for years have indoctrinated us to believe that our atmosphere was getting dirtier, which leads to global warming, then massive climate changes, starvation, and so on and so on. But now studies are showing that the air is actually getting cleaner.... and that, too, leads to global warming. Our planet's air has … Continue reading Global Dimming
Justice Sunday
The news was agog over faith and politics mixing this weekend on "Justice Sunday." I sort of heard it was coming, but I paid little attention. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist was scheduled to speak, and the news media dredged up every voice they could find to say that it was wrong to mix religion … Continue reading Justice Sunday
Stream of Consciousness
If my train of thought leaves Chicago at 35 miles per hour.... What am I doing? Oh, nothing. Thanks for asking. I was just reflecting on how much I enjoy having this website and all the visitors that leave comments, but some days I just don't feel like diving into the topic du juor. Al … Continue reading Stream of Consciousness
The Democrat Party of the Rich Elite
I've noticed the liberal media has dried up on a topic they covered in detail earlier this year. Aghast that George Bush was going to drastically outspend their opponent of choice, the news overflowed with the vast amounts of wealth George Bush had compared the pitiful pauper John Kerry. Now that John Kerry has raised … Continue reading The Democrat Party of the Rich Elite
Heart & Soul of America
George Bush Campaign Manager Ken Mehlman sent an open letter to John Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill. Just thought I'd help get the word out. 🙂 : Dear Ms. Cahill: On Thursday your campaign hosted a fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall at which Sen. Kerry said, "Every performer tonight in their own way … Continue reading Heart & Soul of America
New York Times Owes Bush an Apology
First, the New York Times calls for Bush to apologize to the American people for lying - that the 9/11 commission has debunked the President's assertion that there was a connection between Saddam Hussein and 9/11. Nevertheless, the Bush administration convinced a substantial majority of Americans before the war that Saddam Hussein was somehow linked … Continue reading New York Times Owes Bush an Apology
Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Cover is Blown!
Rather than post stream-of-consciousness back-to-back-to-back articles, here's my last minute thoughts before I turn in. Fox News has a poll out, their summary says The latest Fox News poll finds that while President Bush's job rating remains below 50 percent and pessimism about the nation's economy grows, the election matchup shows little movement. In addition, … Continue reading Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Cover is Blown!
