It was, as Jim Hoft of Gatewaypundit notes, “an excerpt from the book ‘Hope Is Not a Strategy’ by John Mariotti and D. M. Lukas. The author provided an excerpt from the book for the article where he describes Barack Obama as a

Local Priest Has Me Seeing Red

By Georgeann King, on March 17th, 2012

While glancing at this morning’s issue of our local newspaper, I saw red. Red as in Communism and red as in anger when I saw this headline: “Economic disparity calls for leveling.” It wasn’t from a news story and it wasn’t on the editorial pages. It was on the Saturday weekend section.

For It, But They Don’t Want to Pay It

By Georgeann King, on February 18th, 2012

On the one hand, the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) is attacking Obama for forcing them (the bishops) to pay for contraception. On the other hand, the USCCB is pushing forward the idea that taxpayers should pay to extend unemployment insurance (again).

Thoughts on the Debate

Words Heard This Week

By Georgeann King, on October 3rd, 2011

Obama has “Birthers.” Chris Christie has “Girthers.” Girthers are the people who make Christie fat jokes. Wonder if they’ll ask for his weight, BMI and cholesterol facts? Bet he has his birth certificate, though.

Speaking of Obama, Christie referred to him as “the demoralizer in chief.” That was the term the New Jersey governor threw
