Politics

CrimsonPolitics has now reversed its stance. I'm the owner of the blog and neither me nor my teammates feel that the Republicans are doing a good job.

The Republicans have gone off the deep end and can only be described as insane loons who will do anything for wall street money and will say anything to make Obama look bad. I had previously thought that they just disagreed with his policies, but after lengthy discussions with other conservative bloggers, it is clear that they are just racist and sometimes will lie and say anything for people to hate the word "democrat".

Politics is a pendulum and everyone needs to realize that no matter how attractive or convincing the fringes are, they are never right. Understanding this, makes you realize why there is such an equal divide amongst the people of the United States between the two political parties. Have you ever wondered, how after so many decades, we still have only two major parties?

Last year, Senator and presidential candidate John McCain used the phrase "The fundamentals of the economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times, I promise you, we will never put America in this position again. We will clean up Wall Street." He was mocked and attacked for this comment as a "denier" of the state of the economy when he clearly expressed that we are in trouble. He was being an optimist by saying that our economy is a strong one and it will recover--something President Franklin D. Roosevelt would have applauded.

Throughout the campaigns and after his victory, President Obama has said he wants to strengthen diplomatic ties with Iran and even talk with their leaders face to face without preconditions. Iran's government spokesman said Obama's offer to talk with Iran shows that the US policy of "domination" has failed.

Rasmussen reported that only 42% of Americans supported the Democratic Stimulus Plan. Poligazette notes the lower approval rating of this plan "despite a PR offensive launched by Democrats days ago."

Poligazette was paying very close attention to Barack Obama's interview with Al Arabiya, an Arab news channel.

When Al Arabiya said to Obama that America "was the only Western Power that was not colonial." Obama simply said "Right." You would think a patriot like Obama would have said "Excuse me, but the United States still isn't a colonial power." If such a statement had occurred I would be here applauding Obama.

The Obama administration made a very smooth transition with constant rhetoric of how he will improve the country once he takes office. Now that his first actions have been seen in office and the Inaugural celebrations and respect is over, his approval ratings sank 15% from 83% to 68%. What happened?

Politico questions what we really know about Barack Obama and lists some questions that Obama has yet to explain. Republicans have been asking these questions forever; was it not important enough because the left desperately needed a Democratic president, no matter who he really is?

People forget that the real progressives in this country are the Republicans. People forget that Theodore Roosevelt was a Republican first, and then became the founder of a Progressive Party. People want to be progressive, it's human nature; however, sometimes people mislead other people in the name of progressivism.

As the inauguration draws near, a peculiar guest is apparently invited, Reverend Rick Warren. Rev. Rick Warren has a best selling book and a strong following, .

Michelle Malkin makes a good point in pointing out the hypocrisy that when Republicans do something with religious leaders it is a violation of Secularism (Separation of Church and State) but when Democratic leader Barack Obama invites Reverend Rick Warren, it's perfectly fine!
