There may be some conservative votes happy to see Dan Coats come out of hiding in Virginia to take on Evan Bayh but I am not one of them. Its been many years so many have forgotten Dan Coats voted for the crime bill in 1994 otherwise known as the Assault Weapons Ban.
Dan […]

Just writing about Pelosi I recall that John Hostettler, 8th district Indiana - and now doing is part to take down Evan Bayh - essentially ran on a campaign of “a vote for Brad Ellsworth is a vote for Nancy Pelosi for speaker of the house”. The powers that be had been pretty […]

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 […]

Wow, I wonder why no one saw this coming - that the whole H1N1 flu scare was drug firms cashing in. But how would anyone know since the WHO’s involvement and holdings in these drug companies has been effectively buried by the media. Let the Left bemoan the Right’s involvement with Wall Street […]

The Daily Mail’s David Rose has a nice article today, The mini ice age starts here. Why must any current event, especially historically proven cyclic events, be assumed the new status quo? Well, besides that there’s money to be made in the next-big-emergency…
It’s really to bad, too, as I was looking forward to global […]

Americans make seemingly unhealthy choices - smoking, eating too much fast food, roller blading without pads, riding a motorcycle without a helmet, keeping a gun in the house are just a few whereby someone is bound to say “you shouldn’t be allowed to do that because it is making my insurance go up!”. I have […]

So Eric Holder is going to go after ponzi schemes now… if he wants to go after the one that’s stolen the most money from citizens he’d go after Social Security. Oh wait, they’re the ones running that one.. so he’ll focus on the small fish to make it look like he’s doing something….

Roberta X has a great rundown on the Gun Bills In The Indiana General Assembly.
I’m pleased to see mostly pro-freedom for a change. A law to allow you to keep your firearm locked in your car at work even if your employer forbids it. Another to prevent the state from restricting our rights […]

With 2010 almost here you’re going to be bombarded with reviews of 2009 from every news, talk, entertainment and variety show being produced so why not head them all off and get the straight scoop from Dave Barry’s year in review.

I have always felt history would not judge George W. Bush so harshly as the main stream media and political opponents. So I am far from surprised that Bush is closing the gap not even a year into the Obama Presidency.
The numbers are close enough for liberals to start feeling the pressure and they’re only […]

John Hostettler is one of my favorite politicians and I was highly disappointed at the utter lack of support by the national party in 2008 when he lost to Brad Ellsworth.
Now Hostettler has announced his run for the Senate against Evan Bayh who I like only a little better than Dick Lugar (At […]

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 […]

Hm….

One huge difference that you have to carefully watch for is Dubya’s Iraq meeting with the Marines is in Anbar while Barry’s “Iraq” is a speech at Camp Lejeune….

Lest we forget our own history it is worth reminding people with this new push for a swine flu vaccine that we’ve been here before and the cure was worse than the disease which is pretty much what happens anytime the Government thinks it is the solution.

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.

If “the Holocaust” didn’t happen as some would have you believe then how could Netanyahu be presented with some of the planning documents from Auschwitz?
German journalists handed the Israeli leader, in Berlin for talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel, a portfolio of 29 plans from the Auschwitz death camp discovered last year.
Hm…

This will make you laugh, then it will make you cry…
Though I can’t see the govt computer systems being that competent….

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 […]

So all it took was a 1/2 a year to remind Americans that though GW Bush had is faults he was still better than the alternative. Sometimes we need to be reminded of how bad things can get. Too bad it is such an expensive lesson in more ways than fiscally… anyway - a wake […]

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 […]
