Got a Problem? Blame Global Warming!

Posted by Josh on May 20, 2008

If you’ve got a problem in your life, chances are it was the result of Global Warming!

Here’s a list of problems blamed on Global Warming and Climate Change. By the way, when “experts” blame something on Global Warming, just know that they are blaming YOU (because you cause global warming). So in any news story, replace “climate change” or “global warming” with “I” or “you” or your name. Sounds a little more ridiculous when they’re blaming you for itchier poison ivy, aggressive polar bears, or larger reindeer, doesn’t it?
Anyway, here’s the list. Laugh, cry, show your friends, do whatever you want with the list. Just don’t buy into the idea that Global Warming can lead to a profit loss.

The End of Secret Ballots?

Posted by Josh on May 20, 2008

I’ve often wondered where the logic is for banning secret ballots in union elections. Obama and the other socialists in the Democrat Party have long fought for the unionization of America. While unions have done some good in protecting workers, many times they do more harm than good (just ask Detroit). Getting rid of secret ballots just gives unions more power while harming the workers they’re supposed to protect. Read Dr. John Lott’s new op-ed about unions and secret balloting. He does a much better job explaining.

Democrats accuse Republicans of favoring “Big Oil,” “Big Tobacco,” and “Big Pharmaceutical,” but why doesn’t the Mainstream Media ever refer to the Democrats love of “Big Union”?

Kentucky & Oregon Primaries

Posted by Josh on May 20, 2008

In Kentucky, Clinton is projected to win 37 delegates with 65% of the vote. Obama is projected to win 14 delegates with 30% of the vote. The Oregon results aren’t in yet, but Obama was predicted to win according to polls leading up to the primary. Meanwhile, CNN is reporting that Obama has crossed the threshold to clench a majority of pledged delegates. The race isn’t over yet, but it’s not looking good for Mrs. Clinton. Check back for updates.

West Virginia Results

Posted by Josh on May 14, 2008

Democrat Primary

Hillary Clinton (20 Delegates)
239,298 votes – 67%

Barack Obama (8 Delegates)
91,747 votes – 26% 

Republican Primary

Mike Huckabee (18 Delegates)
567 votes – 52%

Mitt Romney
521 votes – 47%
John McCain
12 votes – 1%
Ron Paul
0 votes – 0%
Rudy Guiliani 
0 votes – 0% 

Not to take anything away from Clinton’s blowout victory and I hate to state the obvious, but it’s really only a matter of time before Obama is officially the nominee. I would say that the Clinton era is finally over, but I don’t have any wood to knock on. They’ll find their way back into the forefront one way or another, trust me. Just like all addicts find a way to satisfy their cravings, power-addicts like Bill and Hillary will find a way to quench their thirst one way or another.

The scariest part about this whole fiasco is this: we’ve been told countless times of the brilliance of the Clintons, how incredible they are at this political game, and how great they are at campaign strategy. They are so good and so ruthless that their campaigns have been compared to a machine that is simply unbeatable. Yet, the unbeatable Clinton Campaign Machine has been defeated. So what does that tell us? Either their ability as politicians has been grossly over-exaggerated or Obama is a force to be reckoned with. Hope you’re ready, Maverick. This is going to be a long fight (that is, if you’ll even fight).

More on this later

Thinking Right’s Debut

Posted by Josh on May 14, 2008

A debut entry that’s about as original as a joke about George W. Bush…

 

Welcome to Thinking Right

I know this is a boring and disappointing first entry, but you got to start somewhere, right? Just think: Before long, we’ll be bringing you the best news and opinion columns from around the internet, plus original articles you can’t find anywhere else. All of this, mixed with American Conservatism and a little humor, will soon make you forget about this terrible first post. So be patient- it takes a lot of work to start a website and it’s hard to find time between the NRA meetings, rodeos, church services, NASCAR races, and whatever other stereotypes used to describe Conservatives…either that, or maybe it’s hard to find time because, well, we have jobs.

So what does Thinking Right have to offer that the others don’t? Well, first and foremost, we hope to bring people together under the umbrella of unity, and with that umbrella, we will forge ahead with a message of hope in these turbulent times. We’ll carry our message of hope in one hand, while helping our neighbor with the other hand as we march together to change the world. We’re not just going to bring hope through normal change: we’ve got to bring about a new kind of change- the kind of change you can believe in. Yes, we’re going to change the old change and make it a new change that doesn’t exclude anyone. No longer will change just be for the wealthy who can afford it, instead, change will be for all Americans- poor, rich, young, old, sick- who are willing to change themselves so they can join us under our umbrella of unity. I believe in hope, so hop on board the change train and we’ll deliver our clear message to the world!

Sorry about that- we figured if Mr. Obama could gain devoted followers by convincing them to believe in nothing, then maybe we should try it too. Next time we’ll try one of Hillary’s strategies, which is either crying or lying. [Sorry Maverick, are we getting too rough for you? I know they're your buddies, but remember, you're trying to win the presidency and they're running against you. I know it's hard for you to remember which side you're on, so just keep repeating to yourself, "I'm a Republican." Who knows, maybe someone will buy it]. And for those Obama supporters out there, I’m sorry for confusing you and/or getting your hopes up by mocking your messiah with the satirical paragraph above. 

That’s all for now.
