Arkady's Thoughts

As the Brown supporters run amok in Massachusetts comparing yesterday's election to the battle of Lexington and Concord, Democrats in Washington are scheming.  Indeed, some of the rhetoric has dramatically changed from a full blown liberal charge to a more thoughtful and amicable tone.  While some have proudly declared ObamaCare deceased, I think otherwise and find this new tone troubling.  Allow me to share with you why a Brown victory may have very unintended consequences. As discussed earlier, I objected to supporting Brown for the sole reason of stopping ObamaCare because I refused to believe that six months of negotiations would be flushed down the toilet.  If he were just a slightly  better candidate and had some semblance of Constitutional thought in him I would have gladly given my support, but as a candidate he was and still is more liberal than McCain.  My main point at the time was that ObamaCare would pass as is and indeed still favor that o...

Not too bad on the prediction , eh folks?  I am a bit bummed out that my candidate of choice failed to get my predicted 3%, but Joe Kennedy ran to the best of his abilities and passionately argued for small government.  I applaud him for that and hopefully the 22,000 people who cast their votes will have their voices heard at some point in the future.  So now what? Let's go over the good.  First of all, as discussed previously some liberals are probably on the verge of a mental breakdown.  Always good.  It looks like their prediction for the collapse of the GOP has proven to be a bit premature, as this piece from Time aptly suggests:  Republicans in Distress: Is the Party Over ? So are the Republicans going extinct? And can the death march be stopped? The Washington critiques of the Republican Party as powerless, leaderless and rudderless — the new Donner party — are not very illuminating. Nothing would make Time happier than one party rule....

Tomorrow morning I will get up and cast my vote, I will cast it proudly, but sadly knowing it will once again fall on deaf ears.  I have of course made it no secret that my support goes to the individual that best suits this nation at the current juncture.  To me it never mattered whether my candidate could win because my selection was made based on the issues, not statistical probabilities.  In America looms a great crisis, a crisis of monumental proportions and yet we continue to steadily march to the same beat that brought us here in the first place.  I have done my part at this moment and have attempted to educate and steer those willing to listen, but money speaks and this is the nature of our political process.  So my prediction is as follows. Scott Brown (R): 52% Martha Coakley (D): 45% Joe L. Kennedy (I): 3% This is based on two factors.  Firstly the internal polls are all converging on a momentum rush that will be difficult to stop and Coakle...

There has been a wave of videos modeled after the now notorious America Rising theme and their popularity is growing.  It must be the music in combination with rapid image rotation, because you could literally make any video popular. If you use this formula and stick pictures of zebras, unicorns and Teletubbies while threatening a revolution - people will cheer and run to the nearest gun store. This video however is just embarrassing and indicative that a mental plague has afflicted Massachusetts.  Most of us were mortified one year ago at the rumbling Obama train.  We were scared to see so many people move lockstep like sheep and support a man for reasons they could not explain.  We kept hearing the muffled chant of "yes we can" and "change and hope", but could not extract any information out of the unfortunate zombies awestruck by the Deity known as Obama. We have on our hands a similar phenomena, but it is happening to the ideologically opposing demographic....

In what appears to be an act of desperation the Democrats dispatched our president to rally the shell shocked liberals in voting for Coakley.  This is particularly perplexing because it would appear that every poll is suggesting that Brown is guaranteed to clinch the win - so what is Obama doing?  After stumping for Corzine in NJ and speaking on behalf of Deeds in VA, is he willing to further undermine his own credibility here in MA?  Now perhaps these losses are irrelevant to him or do not hurt his standing in any way, but a third loss in a row would suggest that the magical aura is beginning to wear off.  At one point virtually anything Obama touched would instantly turn into gold and Democrats gained an impressive majority riding his coat tails in 2008, but we are on the cusp of a major reversal in fortune. While I am not rooting for a liberal to win this coming Tuesday, whether it be Coakley or Brown, a win that could further hurt Obama's credibility will be f...

I have been somewhat silent on the whole Harry "I am a closet racist" Reid story despite the blatant double standard of the left.  I did not want to compare it to the Lott situation because I think it's different and Reid did ultimately say his racist piece in private, but how quickly he was forgiven by the black community astounded me. Although no two incidents are ever alike I think most would agree that if a Republican uttered the same words, he would be politically dismantled.     So recently Bill and Clyde of PatriotRoom wanted me to use my graphical talent to convey the Reid story graphically.   They pitched the idea and here is the result:

Check this video out!  Apparently it is being hunted down and like a persistent gnat keeps reappearing all over the Internet.  When will people learn that once on the net always on the net?  The video is powerful indeed (mostly the music) and tragic at the same time.  It first starts off suggesting that the creators were Obama supporters -something about trust and hope and change.  Now they feel betrayed.    My initial question to these people, what potent drug were you smoking/snorting/injecting during the 2008 campaign?  Obama made it very clear that he was the closest thing to Socialism that we have ever seen and you voted for him anyway!   Now you make angry videos and promise a revolution in these coming elections?   Who ever you are, do us a giant favor and stay home!  If you were too stupid to understand what Obama was going to do, then you are still too stupid to understand who to vote for.  Stay home and re...
