Dad's giving in to the Internet

Posted by TMLutas

I just got off the phone with my father and I'm shaking my head in amazement. He's starting to see the value of that crazy Internet thing and he asked me to order him a book, Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto to be delivered to his house. It's an excellent choice for a first Internet book order if the reviews are to be believed.

Obama Outrageous I

Posted by TMLutas

I really hope this Politico story on President Obama's meeting with bankers is wrong in this respect:


“My administration,” the president added, “is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”

If this is an accurate quote. We are in deep, deep trouble.

The reason that the only thing between bankers and the pitchforks is because the bankers and the rich in general have put their trust in the government at all levels to keep the mob at bay and have fired their private security forces of past days. If the government steps back from that iron clad commitment, it is inevitable that we will return to those days and the return will not be pleasant. It will not be tolerable. It will entirely be the fault of one President Barack Hussein Obama who myopically put mob justice as an option on the table.

God help us all if Politico got it right.
