MY ENEMIES LIST

Posted by EWRoss on Monday, October 26, 2009 7:00:00 AM

I've decided to come clean this week and reveal my enemies list. Like the White House, I will continue to deal with the people on my list, but I won't allow their evil deeds to get in the way of my providing honest information the the American people.

1. People who design automated telephone answering systems for businesses, especially those who make it impossible to ever speak with a human being.

2. City governments who use speed cameras, especially those in 15 mph zones.

3. Companies that only manufacture men's clothing in even numbered sizes.

4. Stores that only have shopping carts with three functioning wheels.

5. Movie theaters that believe freezing temperatures and 100 db sound systems enhance the movie-going experience.

6. Minivan drivers that have to pass you so they can slow down and block your view of the road ahead.

7. Cable news stations that believe Americans still want 24/7 news coverage of the "balloon boy" story after everyone knows it was a hoax.

8. Cable news networks that run 'BREAKING NEWS' banners under stories they have been reporting for the past 8 yours.

9. The dozens of white-tailed deer that believe my back yard is Motel 6 and my shrubs are the free morning buffet.

10. Consumer electronics manufacturers that introduce new, more capable products faster than I can afford to buy them.

OBAMA'S MISSILE-DEFENSE DECISION - Smart Move or Big Mistake?

Posted by EWRoss on Monday, September 21, 2009 8:00:00 AM
President Barack Obama says he cancelled the land-based interceptor missile-defense program with Poland and the Czech Republic because he has a better plan. People who believe he made a bad decision say he made it to appease the Russians. They say it tells the former Soviet republics of Eastern Europe, including new NATO allies, that they can’t trust the United States, and it demonstrates US fecklessness to Iran. Did the president make a difficult but smart decision, or did he make one of the worst decisions of his presidency? Either way, it's worrisome.

TOWNHALL MEETINGS -- What America is All About

Posted by EWRoss on Monday, August 10, 2009 8:00:00 AM

Imagine, a few of America’s founding fathers and mothers--pick your favorites--suddenly come back to life in the middle of a Democratic townhall meeting. Finding themselves in the midst of a heated discussion, it would appear to them that nothing much had changed in America in nearly two-and-a-half centuries. After listening to what people were arguing about, however, they’d have to wonder if they were even in America.

"FISHY"

Posted by EWRoss on Monday, August 10, 2009 7:00:00 AM

I have to wonder how many people have reported my columns critical of Democratic healthcare proposals to the White House. If you think this week's, last week's, or my July 20 columns contain "fishy" information about healthcare reform, you may be one of them.

 

On August 3, former ABC and CBS reporter Linda Douglass appeared in a video on the White House website asking anyone who came across "fishy" information about Democratic healthcare proposals on the web or in an email to send that information to flag@whitehouse.gov. Many people have questioned this tactic, some say it's illegal and a violation of the 1974 Freedom of Information Act.

 

Whether or not this is a violation of the law, I don't know. You would think that the White House general counsel's office reviewed all this before the video was posted on the web. Whether this tactic has a chilling effect on criticism of the government in this day and age, also is questionable. What's certain is that the person responsible for this initiative needs a vacation and a refresher course on common sense. While such tactics may be appropriate for the Democratic National Committee, they are unseemly for the White House. In the United States of America, the government doesn't ask Americans to inform on their fellow citizens.

THE SUMMER OF OUR DISCONTENT - Clamoring for Quasimodo?

Posted by EWRoss on Monday, August 03, 2009 8:00:00 AM

Things haven’t been going well for President Obama lately. Conservative columnists, talk-show hosts, and bloggers are having a field day chronicling the president's fall from the clouds above Mount Olympus. His poll numbers, if not his ambition, have returned to Earth as he has failed to effectively sell his healthcare plan, insinuated a cop was a racist before he had the facts, and delegated too much responsibility to fragmented Democrats in Congress. With Obama's presidency and the Democratic agenda on the line, members of Congress return home in August to meet with their constituents. They'll encounter groups of voters who aren't happy with what Democrats have been doing. It’s America’s growing discontent that’s the real news story this summer. Expect an all out effort by liberals in the media and entertainment to ridicule the voices of opposition.
