Crimson Politics

CrimsonPolitics reverses its stance; now supports Obama

Brian Kane — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 17:55:49 +0000

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".

Does Constitution and Bill of Rights Apply to Non-Citizens or just US Citizens

Brian Kane — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 22:32:20 +0000

The ACLU is angry at some US senators who are trying to push legislation that civilian authorities should consult intelligence leaders when taking suspected terrorists into custody. The ACLU claims that this legislation is applying the constitution on a case by case basis to each individual. At the core of this debate, is whether or not the Constitution and the Bill of Rights applies to non-citizens as well as US citizens.

Nancy Pelosi Corrupt

Brian Kane — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:26:06 +0000

Nancy Pelosi is one of the most corrupt politicians on capitol hill. When I say corrupt, I'm being subjective, I know that. However, when piles of evidence begin to mount and even your own party begins to blame you for problems, I don't think we can ignore this.

Harry Reid's Racial Comments

Once again the Democrats showed their hypocrisy by not acting on Harry Reid's racial comments. The Democrats would have been calling for his head if he happened to be a Republican. Although it is a double standard, I'm sure if some Republicans were in the Democrat's situation they wouldn't do much different either. Political parties do protect each other.

The Political Pendulum

Brian Kane — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 22:02:53 +0000

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?

Waterboarding is Not Torture

Brian Kane — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 08:46:31 +0000

Waterboarding is not torture. People can say, "well it's painful, therefore it's torture," but torture is not defined by discomfort. If it was, sending criminals to prison is very torturous isn't it, after all, can anyone tell me that prison is not painful? We waterboard our own soldiers to train them. Does that mean, we torture our own soldiers but the media speaks out only when terrorists are tortured? After all, who cares if soldiers are tortured for training, right?

Michael Steele Should Not Have Apologized

Brian Kane — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 02:14:54 +0000

This month, Michael Steele said that Rush Limbaugh was "an entertainer" and that his comments were usually "incendiary" and "ugly" on the Hughley Show. As a Republican politician is expected to, he must convince people and compromise on ideas when necessary. Michael Steele was right to emphasize that he is the Republican Party leader not Rush Limbaugh. Later however, he apologized to Rush Limbaugh about those comments, confirming Hughley's fear that Rush Limbaugh was the "De facto leader" of the Republicans.

Cafferty Believes the United States is an Empire

Brian Kane — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 22:04:25 +0000

Jack Cafferty is a CNN commentator who has always held the most radical liberal views on CNN. I suppose the fan base he has is there to combat MSNBC's radical bias that draws in the liberal crowd. Today, he was on CNN, quoting various articles that all seem to agree on one thing: America is a super power that is soon to lose its super power status. They also agree that America is an empire that may soon need to withdraw its troops from around the world.

The Fundamentals of the Economy are Strong

Brian Kane — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:25:55 +0000

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.

Alleged Terrorist or Convicted Terrorist

Brian Kane — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 00:34:24 +0000

This was extremely hilarious, Power Line blog, posted an article they found by AP titled "Alleged Terrorist in Ohio gets 20 years in prison." Does anyone notice anything strange about this title?

US Invasion of Iran A Nightmare

Brian Kane — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 17:34:13 +0000

The History Channel has a documentary on Iran as a nuclear threat. This is something that has been talked about because of the type of insane people who are the leaders of Iran. For a quarter of a century, Iranians have been oppressed and brainwashed by the Iranian religious leaders. They have corrupted their own religion to make it a weapon of hate. The religious leaders have a plan of course, if all the rage of the country is constantly focused on America, then the people cannot blame the Iranian leadership for anything.

Conspiracy Theories an Infection

Brian Kane — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 14:25:22 +0000

Conspiracy theories are an infection indeed, a cancer that grows in many different forms by pretending to be unrelated to each other. When they all have a number of important common traits. They all come from the human desire to explain events that make sense. The problem is, not everything makes sense. When John F. Kennedy was shot, the conspiracy theorists had theories because they simply could not believe that some nutcase would do it for such a vague reason (insane people complicate everything).

Funny CNN Reporter Blunders Peanuts Big Time

Brian Kane — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:48:22 +0000

This is just too hilarious to miss. Apparently, instead of saying peanuts the reporter says "Northwest began serving penis -- peanuts this month..." This would all be unworthy of blogging until two seconds later she says "Georgia is the top penis pe peanut producing state in the country."

Top Economic Rankings Best Economic Policies

Brian Kane — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 23:53:56 +0000

The economy is a very difficult subject to understand, everyone thinks their method is best. The problem being that the economy is such an open system that it is hard to determine for sure the best economic policy which would result in the best economy as well as the best society (the society part can complicate the issue). However, what we can do is look at all the countries using certain economic policies and then look at their results and create some sort of scientific index.

A Great Economics Cartoon

Brian Kane — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 21:30:34 +0000

Power Line posted a very funny cartoon that explains our current state of the US economy. What's sad is, for some companies this analogy fits perfectly. This is why the free market is so important and why people are against bailouts. Government should be trying its best to restore competition and free market. Monopolies, greedy executives, and poor standards are what the government should be fighting. Did you ever wonder why the economy is the way it is?
