NY Dems Dump Obama


I'm not taking any quote out of context -these are New York Democrats who have nothing supposedly to lose by embracing their party's leader, President Barack Obama. Yet, some are running away (or at least shying away)  from embracing the leader of their party. 

Wonder why? What the Brooklyn GOP has accomplished in recent elections might be the answer. Or at the very least, focusing on the President's record of failure and "leading from behind" may have something to do with it.

Memorial Day: Only The Dead Have Seen The End Of War


This weekend we give thanks to those Americans that have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we may live free.  

To my brothers and sisters at arms who know war all too well, I leave you with this excerpt from President Theodore Roosevelt's "Man in the Arena" speech.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Hey, Look Over The Street: The Uncommitted Democrats

So, what is more embarrassing - facing tough primary challengers and "underperforming", or a supposedly-likeable President with "great" achievements barely getting through uncontested primaries?

The MSM largely said during the bruising GOP primaries that Mitt Romney has a problem with the Republican conservative base - that he will not be able to mobilize them or solidify his base in order to court the independent and undecided voters in the fall. However, it turns out that President Obama has a serious problem with his core base, while Governor Romney has rallied his primary rivals and, with a conservative base behind him, managed to draw the race into a dead heat 5 months before Election Day.

Armed Forces Day




President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country.

On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force Days.
The single day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under the Department of Defense.

Thank you.

Dubya is Back... Thanks to Obama.


It wasn't so long ago that Americans decried the Bush era and voted in the clean-up guy, and optimistically hoping for a leader that would mend our relations with the Arab world and our allies in Europe. 

 How did that work out for you, folks? 

George W. Bush was asked on Monday, by an ABC reporter about a possible endorsement of the presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney. Bush mumbled out a "I'm for Mitt Romney" before the elevator door shut on him. While this was a mum and lukewarm endorsement, the Democrats and the Obama campaign blasted Romney as embracing the Bush endorsement (Isn't he a Republican?), and of course blamed ALL of America's problems on Romney's shoulders.

REPEAT! Brooklyn GOP Is TWO-TIME Tug-Of-War Champs!

The Brooklyn GOP celebrates it's second consecutive Bay Ridge Community Council Tug-Of-War Victory!  
The Brooklyn GOP proved that 2011 was no fluke when they once again reigned supreme at the Republicans vs. Democrats Tug-Of-War at the Bay Ridge Community Council Picnic at Fort Hamilton!

Led by Senator Marty Golden and Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, the 10-person Brooklyn GOP team had their way with the Democratic competition captained by Assemblyman Alec Brook-Krasny and Councilman Vincent Gentile.

And this year, Team GOP gets to take home this great big trophy, which will be on display at the "Victory Center" at 7620 17th Avenue where it will take its rightful place next to the Brooklyn YRs' State YR Club of the Year honors!

Talk about a winning streak -the Brooklyn GOP has won just about every competition they can - from ping-pong to tug-of-war to elected positions all over southern Brooklyn!

Life of Julia: Socialist Dream vs Reality



As some of you may have seen or heard, President Obama’s re-election campaign launched a new ad, initiative, propaganda, whatever you want to call it. “The Life of Julia” is meant to show us the carefree and perfect life that a fictitious woman Julia would have if Obama’s regime accomplishes their goals, and compares that to what life would be like if Romney wins on November 6th and the Republican’s War on Women continues. The problem is (actually, there are many problems with this whole ad, but I’ll try to keep this brief), there are so many lies and incomprehensible statements that Julia’s perfect life is a complete sham.

Let’s begin at age 3, when little Julia is enrolled in Head Start. This program, started in 1964, is a program run by the US Department of Health and Human Services that provides the children of low-income families with education, health, and other social services during preschool years. Yet, the Head Start Impact Study conducted by the DHHS covering 2000-2010 showed that any positive impact during the preschool years were almost completely gone by the end of first grade for the children in the program. But, according to Obama, Romney’s suggestion of cutting 20% of funding to a failing program that cost $8.1 billion in 2011 is terrible. Really?

I’m gonna skip over the fact that Julia begins college at 18, and doesn’t graduate until 25…

Let me now cover the multiple references to Obamacare, the only accomplishment Obama can state about his administration, at least until the Supreme Court overturns it as unconstitutional. So Julia had surgery at 22 but was thankfully under her parents’ coverage still. So, we’ll just disregard the fact that someone does need to pay for that surgery and Julia’s insurance will be significantly higher when she purchases her own plan to cover the imbalance. Whatever, yay for Julia's free ride! What about when Julia has been working full-time for four years? Oh, still no worries since her insurance is required to cover birth control and preventative care. Good to  know that Julia’s only concerned about her birth control health benefits, and is so relieved that the government will pay for it. That must be the message that Obama is sending, for women to really prioritize their concerns. And then, congrats, Julia got pregnant! Little problem with Obama’s fact pattern: Julia is over 26, so she’s got to pay for the checkups, parental care and screenings since Obamacare doesn’t cover her. Well, I’m sure she’s been fiscally responsible having learned the valuable lesson of being able to support herself, oh wait….

Ah, and then the Medicare and Social Security benefits Julia will receive to make her perfect life even better. Um, just one problem, following the current course of action Medicare will be bankrupt in 12 years and Social Security will begin running in the red in 3 years. But Julia need not worry, Obama will rescue both programs through smart maneuvers like partial privatization of Social Security and raising the retirement age to reflect the longer life spans of Americans, and Medicare reform to offer options to seniors like fee-for-service Medicare and competition among plans to keep premiums low. Actually, no, those are Republican ideas which Obama is completely against. Well, I’m sure he’s got something up his sleeve since Julia is totally fine in 67 years.

Obama's 2012 campaign slogan is Forward, which we now know means moving forward to an all encompassing socialist society under the brilliant and long lasting plans of President Obama.
