Only Republicans Use "Fear Tactics," Right?

The Obama administration has long said they are moving away from "politics of fear" and into a new era of "unprecedented transparency."
That is, until this weekend, when Obama, in his infinite naivete, outlined his plan for a nuclear-free world. Yeah, that sounds likely. Everyone is just going to get along perfectly. Anyway, according to the article, Obama claimed that "The future of mankind is at stake." Really? Nuclear weapons have existed for awhile, and mankind still exists too. Does this not sound a lot like when former treasury secretary Paulson said "There may not be an economy tomorrow" during the mini market crash in fall 2008?
Can't wait for tomorrow, when Obama will try to convince the world that Republicans use fear tactics and democrats are all saints.

Newsflash: America is Still the Greatest

Between hearing Obama blame a lot of the world's economic problems during his overseas, "Kiss the rest of the world's ass" trip (credit Jay Severin of Boston's 96.9 WTKK for that one) and Secretary Geithner mention that America is open to considering a global currency, I realized a major issue I have with our current government (as if there's only one). That issue is the fact that they seem to neglect the fact that America is still the greatest country on earth. We don't answer to the rest of the world; they answer to us. And we sure as hell don't let Korea move rockets into an area where a launch could potentially reach America. But at some point, we stopped playing the position of world leader. Why? I don't know, but I would say our current president contributes greatly to it because he is more worried about being liked rather than feared.
I don't really know where I'm going with this, but all I remember is being outraged hearing some of our leaders talk. I can't stand to listen to someone who supposedly speaks for me carry on about how bad America is and how we screwed everything up. We didn't screw everything up. I don't care if the only way to get France to like us is to get all soft and apologize for being big, bad America.
Despite what our leaders might say, America isn't some disgraced country that's in shambles. We're still the greatest. Let's start acting like it.

A New Direction

I've taken some time off from this blog, and I've considered which direction I want it to go in. I looked at the limited number of posts I've made and made one observation: those posts haven't sounded like me. It's hard to explain, but that's how it seemed. So from now on, each post will be in my voice. I'm going to ignore grammar and political correctness. It's going to be exactly what my friends and family hear when we are together watching the news.

Don't say I didn't warn you.
