It’s The Electability and Inevitability, Stupid

We don’t know about anyone else, but we’re a little tired of having our intelligence insulted. We started writing this article on Monday, well before the votes were in from “Super Tuesday”.

Jane Kleeb: Just a Talking Head or an Alinsky Wanna Be?

Think I was rude in my recent article? Too hard on poor Jane Kleeb? Over-emphasizing her leftist tendencies because of the pipeline issue? Unfortunately, there’s more. Problems in politics and public policy seem to be like cockroaches; for every one you see there are at least one hundred more in the wall. The TransCanada pipeline […]

Terribly Troubling Truths About TransCanada Pipeline – Nebraska: We Have A Problem

On Tuesday we wrote an article about the TransCanada pipeline issue that has been getting a lot of reads and generated a number of e-mails and phone calls. We even drew the attention of one of the people mentioned, Bold Nebraska’s Jane Kleeb, who stated that she wants to sit down and have coffee. Tuesday’s […]

Editor’s Note: Contributed by a Grassroots in Nebraska I find this interesting: Black Conservatives Take Lead Role Tea Party Movement Apparently the ability to reason is not a prerequisite for obtaining a position as a news analyst. To my knowledge, TEA party events have always been held in open public forums, with attendance open to […]
