Wait … Doesn’t The Other Guy Use a TelePrompTer?
I know it's strange but, yes, that's my left hand. If you look closely, you'll see a faded "INV" written in ink. You would have seen the same three letters two weeks ago, and you'll see them again two weeks from now. Those three letters, folks, is to remind me to send an invoice to my company. If I were to forget, I would forego a paycheck and would have to wait for another two weeks for the next shot at invoicing. Living paycheck-to-paycheck as we are, it simply isn't an option. So, when my phone prompts me that indeed today is ...
The GOP and a Sedentary Lunchpail Crowd
In a previous piece here at America’s Right, I mentioned that I had been stuck on the east coast for some time because I needed to work out problems with work and with my medical coverage. I managed to resolve these issues and rejoined my family back on my Midwestern home turf. As a part of my homecoming, I paid a visit to a friend of mine I have known since the first grade, and found much of the visit to be equal parts nostalgia and political revelation about America and the condition of many of its citizens. My ...
Putting The Victory Back In Black History
For me and a special group of youth in North Tyler here in Texas, Black History Month began in September when the coordinator in charge of the “Black History Bowl” began to confirm availability to participate in the annual competition among neighboring churches. I would hover around Sister Dorothy Wheat, just happening to be looking for something around the piano when she was there, or just happening to go to the ladies room at the same time as she, making a slight scene to get noticed. I acted like this for a few years until she said, "Delley (as most in ...

Sarah Palin. What is it about Sarah Palin that angers so many on the left? Is it that she’s more genuine by leaps and bounds than the likes of Hillary Rodham Clinton? Is it that she’s a little bit easier on the eyes than Janet Napolitano? Is it her own personal values, cherishing life and freedom and family ahead of politics and power... [Read more of this review]
It’s a funny thing how, depending upon the issue of the day, certain people will step up. Recently, as talk has turned to matters of debt and deficits and the president’s new budget, the one to step up has been Wisconsin Republican Paul Ryan. Admittedly, other than reading a few of his op-ed pieces over the past few months, I don’t... [Read more of this review]
Pretend for a moment that you are Joe or Jane Q. Sixpack. Shortly after returning to work following the long Christmas holiday weekend, your superiors sat you down and explained that for one reason or another your services were no longer necessary. You were fired. Over the next month or so, living paycheck-to-paycheck as you had been for as long... [Read more of this review]
I’ve been trying for a week now to rationalize what I heard coming from the president in his State of the Union address last week, but no matter how hard I try to make it come out as a sane recitation of the past and realistic forecast for the future of the United States, it just doesn’t work. Surely, he must have been joking. No one with his education... [Read more of this review]
What you see above is brand new, just released video from the House Republican Conference. It features some of the statements made by the the president and the president’s flunkies–including Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, the latter being the guy who just recently compared fellow Democrats to “f*cking...

If only Congressman Sestak had told Sen. Specter to quit interrupting him and “act like a lady.” All kidding aside, I’ve had no trouble in the past admitting that I like Joe Sestak. Even though he’s a committed liberal and wrong on so, so many issues, I’ve seen nothing which suggests that he is anything but a genuine,... [Read more of this review]
Earlier today here at America’s Right, I had the chance to discuss the effect which the president’s new budget–tabled yesterday by the White House–would have on the deficit and national debt. But, subject to the stranglehold of the 24-hour day and a schedule which resembles six pounds of potatoes in a five-pound bag, I only... [Read more of this review]
For years now, my wife and I have been counting the days until we were finally able to move from the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA to the outskirts of Charleston, SC. Both of us love it down there. We love the the people, we love the city, we love the weather. But today, roughly four months before our big move, an article in The Philadelphia Inquirer... [Read more of this review]
According to the Congressional Budget Office, during the dozen years in which the House of Representatives was under Republican Party control, the average budget deficit was roughly $104 billion. Since the Democrats assumed control following the mid-term elections in 2006, however, that average has skyrocketed to approximately $1.1 trillion. Now,... [Read more of this review]
Ben Bernanke, the Godfather of the American criminal banking syndicate, was confirmed this past Thursday by the U.S. Senate for a second term as chairman of the Federal Reserve by a vote of 70 to 30. This says more about the needs and plans of the Obama administration than anything President Obama may have said at his State of the Union address the... [Read more of this review]
As President Barack Obama juggled faux accountability with the stubbornness of an ideologue last week, it’s important to understand that it isn’t all Barack Obama’s fault. It isn’t — the Democrats have to take their share of the blame, too. I wouldn’t expect someone like Barack Obama to understand this; his education... [Read more of this review]
It’s understandable that, in a nation of this size with a government as large as it is, the average American might feel as though their opinion doesn’t matter. Every once in a while, however, we get pleasantly surprised by something that happens either inside the Beltway or out — it could be the election of someone like Scott Brown...
