Remember the umbrage when Bush Jr. mentioned letting citizens keep their retirement monies in their own retirement accounts? The opposition called W a liar when he said Social Security would be insolvent by 2016 and guess what…. Social Security Payouts Exceed Pay-ins which means W might have been overly optimistic with his projections.
And the […]

I was wrong that Ellsworth voted for healthcare in exchange for his senate bid. He voted for it for a $1 million campaign contribution from Evan Bayh. You can’t tell me the timing is a coincidence.

If you’ve not already best check the Final Vote Results for Roll Call 165 to see where your elected officials stood yesterday. Notice that not one Republican voted for it and 34 Democrats defected.
I have already put my Congressman, Brad Ellsworth, on notice that I firmly believe he sold out his […]

It looks like any toy gun with a metal barrel is the ATFE’s target as “machine guns”. I’m not exactly an AirSoft fan but I see their charm. Remember that these toys were designed by a people who are not allowed to own real guns, these are their substitutes….
With the President being the […]

Following up on getting the “guns in your car” bill through to the governor there are 2 on The Indiana Law Blog (worth a bookmark btw). The first ran on March 6th and a follow up on March 8th following a work place shooting up in Portage Indiana which opponents are attempting to use to […]

The liberals/progressives/nutcases are always harping on war spending and a way to tell Republicans to shut up already when they oppose yet more spending. Of course this is a diversion to stop opposition to their political roadmap of turning America into a European style Socialist State.
But back to spending money… we know where there is […]

It seems that in Oregon they will now send the swat team after you just because someone THINKS you might be CONTEMPLATING something illegal. It is a dangerous precedent and if it doesn’t frighten you then then I refer you to this.
“If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude better than […]

Looks like Indiana Dems are trying to sink HB 1065, the Emergency Powers and Parking Lots today. Why is anyone surprised? Democrats always scream “democracy! democracy!” until they don’t like the results…

I find it downright comical that one of the cities who’s economy is most damaged by illegal immigration would decide to go after unlicensed dogs rather than “undocumented” people. So what are they going to do with “unlicensed” dogs owned by “undocumented” people? Will they get a free visit to the vet, a […]

Remember all that bitching and whining about how evil Bush was for tapping cell phone conversations of citizens who happen to call a terrorist? If the Administration gets their way you won’t have to be talking to a terrorist for them to track you. You just need a cell phone.

I’m sure you all saw this coming. At least the President got it over with quickly….

By that time, we did. And here’s my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts, but the mood around the country.
The same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office.
People are angry, and they’re frustrated. Not […]

It seems Trijicon puts scripture references on their products which has some people claiming it proves we’re crusaders in the Middle East. And then there is that whole “separation” myth, too.
I’d love to have a Trijicon site so marked and as is being issued for the M4 but my goodness they’re expensive […]

While we’re all celebrating Jack Cafferty’s Pelosi’s a horrible woman we mustn’t loose sight of the fact that Cafferty remains an unapologetic Obama fan boy.
The Administration’s first year has been a horrible one by any political measure you choose to use. And if you’re paying attention to the White House’s “stands” on issues […]

Someone has to ask - if government employees at the post office are so overworked they’re hiding it rather than delivering it… what does this mean for government health care?

For those who recall Obama saying he’d bankrupt coal you’ll be glad to know he’s a he’s on it.

Speaking of global warming’s “hide the decline”…. Obama Approval Slips to 47%. And now that the EPA has declared CO2 a “pollutant”, which has the potential of reaching all the way down the an individual right to BREATH we’re bound to see more turmoil and unrest before Barry leaves office in 2012.

By the way, in case you didn’t know it teaching a child under 5 to read can damage the child by causing stress when the child should just be having fun.
More like, if you teach your kids to read by age 5 you’ll question why the ones we get for 12 years can’t… but by […]

So now it’s come down to blatantly buying votes. Normally they’re a little more circumspect about it. But only a little….

I wonder if anyone else sees the irony of Limbaugh’s being kicked from the Rams deal over quotes he never said versus the keeping of Obama’s Czars, like Holdren, over quotes out of their own books and speeches.
Pretty much a similar tactic to prosecuting Republicans for some trumped up charge a month before the election […]

And that’s being kind. The question was asked at the end of the first BILLION dollars if the Gov’t can’t run a simple $1 BILLION give away how are they going to manage health care? A fair question then but an even better question now that they’ve ponied up another $2 BILLION tax payer dollars […]

Let the pols decry and demean the citizens showing up at town hall meetings to express their concern over ObamaKennedy Care… the London Telegraph once again illustrates our concern is far from unfounded.

You know, I love double dip ice cream cones but not so much recessions. I have hope we’ll regain some sanity in 2010 but I’m not sure much will be left to salvage.
But unlike some I don’t put this solely at the feet of the Democrats. The utter lack of actual […]

Yet another illustration of why oil is so expensive: Feds Holding Back $100 Million in Drill Leases. Just because you had the winning bid on a drilling rights auction doesn’t mean you have any rights. Any joe blow who is concerned for environment has more rights than you although you plunked down millions of dollars […]

Looking at the current leftist movement, whether its Obamacare or Global Warming, this one pretty well sums it up:

I don’t think they realize that “A Brave New World” was written as a warning - not a suggestion.

While most of the world continues the “military coup” lie about Honduras yet again the Wall Street Journal inserts some reality as they point out The Path Forward for Honduras.
Yet again I point out the irony of the United States Administration siding with the likes of Hugo Chavez. Most telling…..
