Barney Frank makes it official…..
-Bruce (GayPatriot)
Instead of admitting his own responsibility in the current financial mess, Barney Frank does what he and Democratic partisans always do when their records are called into question: attack conservatives.
Until recently, I never thought particularly highly of Bill O’Reilly. I found him boorish, self-important and a bit arrogant.
. . . why is another Senator involved in the controversy introducing one of his surrogates?
John Glenn introduced Bruce Springsteen to “an Obama get-out-the-vote rally at Ohio State University.
When I learned that my Congressman Henry Waxman, Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, was holding hearings this week on Lehman Brothers and AIG, I decided to call his office to see if he was looking into problems at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Shortly after Sarah Palin mentioned that Barack Obama had been “palling around with terrorists,” the mainstream media finally began to take note of Obama’s association with unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers.
Today, marks my fourth blogiversary, just one month and two days after Bruce set up this blog.
To honor that, I quote words the great Albert Camus wrote just after World War II, words that I used to enter the blogosphere four years ago today:
Something in us has been destroyed by the spectacle of the years [.
Recall how back in 2004, after John Kerry lost the election, a lot of Democrats were trying to point out Republican tactics to intimidate voters.
What is it with some of the left that at the mere mention of someone with opposing views, they immediately lose all focus and rant against conservatives and Republicans in general or John McCain and Sarah Palin in particular.
Commenting on Barney Frank’s conflict of interest, serving on the House Banking Committee while his partner worked at Fannie Mae, JammieWearingFool wonders if the media (save Bill Sammon who broke the story) has been ignoring this because Frank is gay.
Explaining to Charlie Rose why we’re in the financial mess we’re in, Democratic Congressman Barney Frank, Chairman of the House Financial Services Commitee, said there was a “lack of appropriate regulation.
Several readers have e-mailed me a link to a video produced by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) on Sarah Palin.
The editors of Gaywired.com asked me to write a piece on why gays should vote for John McCain. They just posted it, John McCain Better for All Americans, Not Just Gays.
While I had advertised the outing to see An American Carol barely twenty-four hours before we ended up seeing the flick last night in Hollywood, we gathered fourteen GayPatriot readers and friends.
Five years ago, Barney Frank contended that “These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,” at the center of the mortgage mess and financial crisis, “are not facing any kind of financial crisis.
A reader chanced upon a passage in Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson where that celebrated economist predicted today’s mortgage crisis:
Government-guaranteed home mortgages, especially when a negligible down payment or no down payment whatever is required, inevitably mean more bad loans than otherwise.
As David Zucker’s movie An American Carol comes out today, I’ve decided to organize a Los Angeles outing for GayPatriot readers (and friends) to see the flick tomorrow night, Saturday, October 4 or perhaps on Sunday the 5th.
As I left the Xcel Center one month ago today after hearding Sarah Palin speak to the Republican National Convention, I texted Bruce my one-word summation of her speech, “Reaganesque.
Just over a week ago, I suggested that the McCain campaign should send Sarah Palin to Maine where the moose-hunting Alaska Governor might be able to help put that state’s second congressional district into the Republican column this fall.
This morning, while reading the blogs and checking my e-mail, I chanced on several clips of last night’s debate.
