I don't believe Donald Trump

I don’t believe Donald Trump. 10 years ago he flirted with the Reform Party, was in favor of partial birth abortions and apparently “gay marriage” and a big one-time wealth tax. It is an amazing conversion he had somewhere between then and now.

Or maybe he doesn’t mean what he is saying, maybe he is trying to be as extreme and clownish as he can to discredit conservatives.

Glenn Beck has shut up about a lot of things in an attempt to keep his job. Even Fox News is only a RINO network at best and the talk of getting his own channel is ludicrous, no cable system will carry it.

I don’t think we conservatives should be trusting anyone who doesn’t have conservative instincts or has to think about or research their position on an issue to have an opinion.

In 2012 we need a candidate who is not a go-along to get-along type (tons of those), or has to be pushed into a conservative position (Rick Perry) or is a “compassionate” conservative like George W Bush. We need someone who already knows what they believe and will not compromise on the basic, key tenets of conservatism.

Donald Trump doesn’t even come close.

Genocide in the Ivory Coast!

The Muslim slaughter of Christians in the Ivory Coast has been stepped up as more than a thousand bodies pile up in the streets. Tens of thousands sought refuge at a Catholic Compound and are now trapped there by the forces of Jihad, running low on food, water and medicine.

The dead, scattered across the town of Duekoue are mainly civilian men who were shot as they fled from the advancing Muslim forces. If these Muslims are following the script they will kill the men, rape the women and force the survivors to join Islam.

The reaction from the west? from Obama?

Well, they are supporting the Muslims. Of course.

Recovery.... not so much

As was predicted, because it's so preictable, the short term wave produced by "quantative easing" (inflation) has moved the unemployment number down a nudge.

That is a very expensive nudge.

Check the grocery shelves, the prices are rising. This is happening because the dollar is worth less than it had been. When the wave settles down we will find that QE 1, 2 or even 3 is nothing but a political gimmick. Your savings in the bank or under the mattress is now worth less, prices are higher and when it finally subsides unemployment will again be more than 10% if not more.

Looking for Conservative News Forum

I am looking for a Conservative News Forum to join. I always seem to find myself leaving a news forum because of a clash of values. If the news forum has a dedicated pornography section/thread then count me out. If you know of any good ones please leave a link the comments section.

The Current Craziness

The Keystone Cops Coalition takes the high road today when France decides to suggest political assassinations could be used. Say what? Are we not supposed to be the "good guys" around here?

France, which has been at the forefront of the international campaign against Gadhafi in Libya, struck a more forceful tone, however, with the defense minister suggesting the strikes could go beyond their mandate of just protecting civilians.

"We, the French and English, we consider that we must obtain more'' than the end of shooting at civilians, said Gerard Longuet on France-Inter radio. He also said Libyan politicians could be targeted since they gave orders to the military.

Meanwhile on Libyan Rebel Radio they are busy praising the fighters in Afghanistan and Iraq as "brothers". Um, those are the ones killing American soldiers. Why are we helping these people again??

Obama Doctrine?

The Obama Doctrine: "Let me be clear. I want everyone to know, that at uncertain times and uncertain places, known to no-one, not even me, that Kinetic Military Action may or may not take place, on a whim, possibly in concert with our staunch allies or not, just do not expect consistency 'cause we'll not be attacking other countries that do the same thing, I think, probably not. It is imperative that the American people understand this"

Reqium for Detroit

Forget the lousy, mousy Scott Martelle article in the LA Times yesterday check out the Wall Street Journal site today for a much better and to the point article by William McGurn.

A Reqium for Detroit hits all the right marks.

My blog post was just a little bit faster than him, but he is much more professional than I am.
