The Bailout Buck Stops Here

Alice Stewart — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 05:00:00 +0100

To bail or not to bail - That should not be the question for Congress. It's wrong for the government to pick winners and losers and the bailout nation mentality will ensure that Democrats are the losers in the midterm elections.

The current financial regulation reform bill is more of the same; talk of Wall Street reforms that cater to Wall Street. Case in point, the bill includes a $50 billion dollar bailout fund to liquidate fRead More...

A Lesson For the President

Alice Stewart — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 03:05:35 +0100

The Obama Administration learned a valuable lesson from parents across the country: don’t push your socialist agenda on my child. After a week of criticism over a speech and study guide asking students what they can do for President Obama, the administration toned it down. The president read a good speech with a focus on personal responsibility, staying in school, and setting goals. He told schoolchildren to look to the future and use school as a way to succeed no matter whaRead More...

Health Care Town Hall Emotions Are Far From Astroturf

Alice Stewart — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 12:06:27 +0100

I urge members of the Obama Administration to step off the health care stage and into the crowd, that “angry mob” they refer to is a growing number of Americans who want to slow down and take part in the health care debate. One step off the podium will show them this is anything but an “astroturf effort.” This is zoyzia, it’s real, it’s hearty, and can tolerate the heat.

Chairman of the Blue Dog Democrats health care task force, Cong. Mike Ross (D-AR) along with&Read More...

I Got Your Deadline, Mr. President

Alice Stewart — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 21:11:52 +0100

Members of congress should take offense to President Obama telling them that if they don’t have a deadline, they can’t get anything done. In his fourth prime time news conference of his administration, President Obama continued to poke and prod of members of Congress into quick action on healthcare. The problem with this prescription, the administration needs to realize that to carry out a completeRead More...

Lust and Found: A Story of Broken Public Trust

Alice Stewart — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 05:00:00 +0100

Now that we've picked up our jaw after watching South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford give his emotional tale of sex, lies, e-mails, and "Don't Cry for me Argentina," it's time to see where the chips are going to fall. I do believe that a politician's private life should not be subject to the public spotlight, but the dereliction of his public duties is a concern.

After his seven-day ‘lust and found' trip, Gov. Sanford held a news conference to admit and apologize for an affRead More...

Welcome to the Obama White House - Journalists Please Check Your Integrity at the Door

Alice Stewart — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:54:50 +0100

The upcoming ABC prime time health care program is a tough pill to swallow. "Questions for the President: Prescription for America" is nothing more than than in infomercial with a healthy dose of skepticism from champions of equal time.

The administration's record of selective media access and planted questions at press briefings has raised eyebrows of even objective observers. If you didn't know any better, you'd imagine 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has a new Read More...

Nancy Pelosi Owes America an Apology... and the Truth

Alice Stewart — Tue, 19 May 2009 19:55:23 +0100

The quarterback of the Central Intelligence Agency says he doesn't want his agency to be a pawn in a game of political football; it's too late, Democrats have been tackling the CIA for months and President Obama is not willing to toss a penalty flag.

It's difficult to say which is more troubling, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi playing a game of CYA at the expense of the CIA, or President Obama's continued support as she calls members of the intelligence agency liars. Either way, RepubRead More...

Presidential Performance is Not So Bright

Alice Stewart — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 05:00:00 +0100

President Obama marks his first 100 days in office Wednesday. This landmark day is viewed as a gauge of presidential success. While Democrats speak of Obama's performance as a shining success, I see that bright light as an oncoming train.

Candidate Obama did promise change, unfortunately Americans have gotten it. The leader of the most powerful nation in the world embarked on a world apology tour, released secret CIA interrogation memos, and repeatedly chummRead More...

Americans Are Not Losing Their Religion

Alice Stewart — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 05:00:00 +0100

What better time than Holy Week to be reminded that church-going Christians are alive and well and Christianity is worth defending. The current Newsweek cover story is yet another liberal example that the “devil’s in the details,” or should I say, “the distortion of the details?”

The article, “The End of Christian America,” highlights a small detail found “buried” in the 2009 American Religious Identification Survey. Read More...

Geithner’s Got To Go

Alice Stewart — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 05:00:00 +0100

It’s time for Teflon Tim Geithner to step aside or be kicked to the curb. The tax-cheat Treasury Secretary has dodged enough bullets, behind the shield of the Obama administration, and enough is enough.

Americans are furious over the millions of tax dollars spent on AIG bonuses, and the dark cloud of suspicion as to who knew what — and when — hangs over Geithner’s head.

Despite the storm of controversy, President Obama continues to express his “compRead More...

For the Good of the GOP, Put the Limbaugh-Steele Battle to Bed

Alice Stewart — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 06:00:00 +0100

I hesitate to feed the Limbaugh-Steele beast, but it's time for its Last Supper, time to put the beast to bed. Here we have two powerful forces, committed to building a strong conservative Party, and they alone can make certain Democrats don't win their game of "divide and conquer."

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh is an inspiring entertainer, with 22 million listeners, and has been a defining voice of the conservative movement for 20 years. Former Maryland Lt. Gov. MichaelRead More...

Just What the Party Needed

Alice Stewart — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 06:00:00 +0100

Call it what you want, shot in the arm, wind in the sail, kick in the pants, Rush Limbaugh's ‘National Address to the Nation' at the Conservative Political Action Conference was a blast of confetti for the Grand Old Party.

The keynote speaker hit on a few key notes that bring to mind the old Johnny Mercer tune "Mr. In Between." Limbaugh did "accentuate the positive" of President Obama, calling him a gifted politician with extraordinary talent." He encouraged the president to "elimRead More...
