OK, I’ll take the bait. Mr. Wayne Thorson is all wet. I’m one of those conservative loons and proud of it . I am a conservative, and a Tea Party member with a Libertarian streak. That said Republicans are not perfect.

The only cable news network that comes close to presenting a balanced news cast is the Fox News network. Yes, Fox leans right at times, but MSNBC is the administration’s lap dog.

I am not a gun nut but believe it is the right of every American to own and bear arms. Gun registration is the first step to confiscation. Strict guns laws do not work. Consider the murder rate in Chicago.

President George W. Bush had his flaws; however, I believe history will exonerate him. He governed at a very difficult time and prevented additional attacks after 9/11. Bush did not declare war on Iraq, Congress did, with Sen. Hillary Clinton voting yes. Bush misled no one. The CIA screwed up or Iraq moved their weapons of mass destruction to Syria.

Consider Barack Obama’s record. He started off by refusing to take action against the New Black Panthers for black-on-white voter intimidation.

Fast and Furious was a stupid idea and a criminal activity. We still don’t know the truth.

Calling the Fort Hood massacre a case of “workplace violence” is an example of political correctness in the extreme.

Giving the Shoe Bomber the same rights as an American citizen was just plain dumb.

Benghazi was a disaster at all levels. Obama’s efforts to deny responsibility is a prime example of his lack of leadership. The continuing efforts to cover up the truth is a possible crime.

The IRS fiasco is an example of the arrogance of the Omama administration. When the truth comes out, this may be the biggest government scandal in our lifetime. The IRS has the power at their discretion to destroy any citizen’s life or business. In the IRS’s eye, you are guilty until proven innocent. The IRS’s willingness to use its authority for political purposes should terrify everyone, liberal or conservative. This scandal is far worse than Watergate.

Illegally tapping the Associated Press phone lines and those of a Fox News reporter is an example of this administration’s willingness to ignore the Constitution.

Obamacare is a ticking time bomb that will devastate the economy and make it more difficult and expensive to get health care.

It is time for the free world to accept that we are at war with radical Islam. Political correctness makes America look weak. Radical Muslims only understand and respect strength. There now have been three terrorist attracts on Americans under Obama’s administration. Incarcerating radicalized Muslims with the general prison population should not happen. Prison is an ideal place to recruit and indoctrinate individuals, already living outside of the law, to beliefs of the radical Islam.

President Harry Truman’s most famous quote, when faced with a mistake made by a subordinate, he said “The buck stops here.” Obama, take a lesson.
