It’s Not 1992

Posted by Bob Hugeri | Jan. 2, 2008

Back in 1992 the Clinton’s, Democrats and the mainstream media told us “It’s the economy, stupid.” (I never could figure out why calling the president stupid was not called negative campaigning when just pointing out what Democrats have done or said always is.) We were told it was the worst economy in 50 years just before the election that year. Immediately after the election, it was suddenly the best economy in 30 years. Wasn’t that amazing?

This election season they (Clinton’s, Democrats and the mainstream media) are going to try this same tactic with a different issue. Unfortunately for them it is starting to turn against them, or in other words in America’s favor. We are starting to win the war too early for them. However, the mainstream media will try and hide the fact that we are doing so well until after a Democrat takes office (they hope). Suddenly the news stories will all be about how we have won the war and she will get full credit for the victory and fixing George Bush’s War.

The War

 

Posted by Bob Hugeri | July 31, 2007

Depending on the poll and the question anywhere from 50- 80 percent of the people are against the war in Iraq, or say it was a mistake or that we should get out of Iraq. My questions to the vast majority of those against the war are, what are they giving up for the war and what is the war personally costing them? A large majority of those against the war have not lost anyone in the fighting. They have not had anyone injured in the fighting and most do not even know anybody in Iraq. It has not cost them any time out of their day, and as far as the financial cost, we all know the government will find some way to spend our money. What stake do they have in Iraq? . . . NOTHING.

Amnesty Defined

Posted by Bob Hugeri | June 16, 2007

Amnesty: n “an act granting a pardon to a group of individuals”

Pardon: n “an official release from legal punishment”    vb “to free from penalty”

-- "The Merriam-Webster Dictionary"

If it looks like amnesty, if it sounds like amnesty, if it smells like amnesty, and if it is defined exactly as amnesty, guess what . . . it is AMNESTY!

They just don’t get it.

Wrong On One Is Wrong On Both

 Posted by Bob Hugeri | May 31, 2007

There are two huge issues facing America that can actually affect its survival. Most issues while extremely important in the long run such as tax cuts, abortion, spending and any number of social issues, will not eventually affect America’s very survival. While President Bush is right on most social issues, as far as conservatives are concerned (except for spending), of the two huge issues that can actually affect if America survives as a nation, he is wrong on one which by default makes him wrong on the other.

While he is doing a good job fighting the war on terror as evidenced by the lack of attacks on American soil, by refusing to close the border and do something about illegal immigration despite the wishes of 70 percent of the American people, he is not completing the job on the war on terror and leaving America wide open for an attack. By being so completely wrong on the border/illegal immigration issue, it also makes him wrong on the war on terror as proven by the Fort Dix terror plot.  

It is time President Bush and the Republican Party listened to their base for a change.

Harry Reid and Alec Baldwin

Posted by Bob Hugeri | April 22, 2007

I would like to call for the resignation of Senator Harry Reid. Republicans, do not let up on this man. Have a backbone stay on this everyday until he is forced to resign in disgrace. He must go and you, Republicans, must show not only your base, but also the American people you do have a backbone and some fight in you.

I also would like to call for NBC to fire Alec Baldwin for his outright child abuse. If they do not I would like to ask the American people to boycott NBC and any sponsors until he is fired.

Partial-Birth Abortion Ruling

Posted by Bob Hugeri | April 18, 2007

While it is an incredible, awesome day with the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the barbaric, gruesome procedure, partial birth abortion, it is still unfathomable that four Supreme Court Justices think that there is somehow, someway, somewhere in the Constitution of the United States of America a right to brutally kill a partially born baby. I wonder what foreign country these four people found that “right” in. This outright murder of the most innocent will, finally, mercifully come to an end. Thank you George W. Bush. 

Stricter gun laws are necessary

Posted by Bob Hugeri | April 17, 2007

I could not agree more with the Democrats, liberal “mainstream” media, and the Europeans. We do need stricter gun laws in America. The stricter gun laws we need are: If someone uses a gun during the commission of a crime they should automatically get an additional 5 years added onto their sentence. If they discharge a gun during the commission of a crime they should automatically get an additional 15 years added to their sentence. If they shoot somebody with a gun during the commission of a crime they should automatically get an additional 25 years added to their sentence. And if they kill somebody with a gun during the commission of a crime they should automatically get life in prison. A quick note on the same topic, if somebody flees from the police, they should automatically get an additional 5-10 years added to their sentence. 

Federal Government Fails, Americans Suffer the Consequences

Posted by Bob Hugeri | April 10, 2007

We are constantly bombarded with stories from across America of illegal immigrants killing people either in drunk driving crashes or outright murder. Sorry, we only hear this information if we get our news from alternative news sources on the Internet, not the local or national “mainstream” media. Every American knows there is a problem. A large majority is VERY upset about it. Is it not time that those who have lost loved ones to an illegal immigrant or have had some heinous crime committed against them to start suing the federal government? There is no question this is our federal government’s job. One of the few given to them by the Constitution and they have failed miserably.
