The under reported story of the decade is the crumbling value of the U.S. dollar. Between the poor monetary policies of the last 3 Presidents, Congress printing money like drunken sailors, Congress and the Executive spending like drunken sailors, too much U.S. currency held by foreign concerns, and many other contributors the rising cost of […]

Remember all that Archaeological looting of Iraqi antiquities that was reported as being due to our entering Iraq? Well, guess what… like many other anti- American media stories it simply wasn’t true. Go figure.

The former head of the Palestinian Communist Party hopes Obama is elected so he will immediately birth a palestinian state. Of course if people would read their history they’d know there is already a Palestinian state, it’s called JORDAN. When Israel was granted territory it was a tiny tiny sliver off the larger British protectorate. […]

Those non-existent WMD’s from Iraq? Yeah, well they just moved a 500 tons of uranium from Iraq to Canada…. Of course the Administration never said they would find any, only that they were trying to build them, and I think 500 tons of low grade Uranium, some in various states of refinement, counts under […]

While Der Spiegel writes of a a brighter future in baghdad National public Radio writes of Insurgents Turn Themselves In to U.S., Iraqi Troops. There ought to be some cut-and-run Democrats a bit worried….

A blog worth reading, the Marxists/Socialists/Communists for Obama. If this doesn’t scare you then, heaven help us.

YouTube - Harry Reid Says “Coal Makes Us Sick”
What an idiot. Democrats in control of the House for the past almost 2 years. Gasoline at $2.00 then, its at $4.15 now. And with the attitude Harry Reid displays in the video you know it will only get worse since their plan is to push the […]

The Republican website has a nice review of Obama’s statements concerning firearm ownership. At the same time ABC is reporting the Obama camp distancing itself from Obama’s own statements as “inartful” which isn’t even a word but gets the point across that they’ve been unexpectedly caught with their drawers down.
“That statement was obviously […]

Despite my recent bout of pessimism regarding the case the SCOTUS blog has the ruling reflecting well on the rights of We the People. Though superficially it would appear they’ve worked very carefully to maintain the status-quo and not shake the current legal standing of any anti-gun law short of an outright ban such as […]

An interesting side note on the high costs of oil is that some manufacturing jobs are coming back to the US.
“It’s not just about labor costs anymore,” says Rubin. “Distance costs money, and when you have to shift iron ore from Brazil to China and then ship it back to Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh is looking pretty […]

So now we know exactly why DC has the highest crime rate in America, it’s populated with sheeple!
I particularly loved the elder woman with the eastern block accent who stated the country she came from didn’t allow people to own guns and they shouldn’t be allowed to here, either. And that worked out so well […]

Oh my! The sky is falling! The sky is falling! This is the last chance! We must ACT NOW!
Yeah, now that NASA’s own data shows the warming trend ended and we’ve been in a cooling trend that has already dropped average temperatures below where we started these idiots are pumping up the demagoguery before […]

Now that forced “racial desegregation” has been “accomplished” in the school systems (never mind that it has been a dismal failure) what about Political segregation in suburbia? The big misnomer here is that it is unnatural for people to want to associate with like minded people. For an anti-theology that espouses “nature” and embraces base […]

So goes the value of the almighty Dollar.
There is a reason for import tariffs, its about time someone in Washington figured that into their monetary policy..
Unless driving the dollar into the tank is their monetary policy….

The push for ethanol is coming partly from the ag community and partly from those who think of it as “carbon light” compare the the “evil” oil based products. And the high prices, driving mostly by speculation and an artificially pinched supply, is being used as a vehicle to push the ethanol alternative as a […]

Oklahoma to the Feds, have you read the 10th Amendment to the Constitution? Its a straight forward statement that, by the very need to iterate it, illustrates the over reaching of the Federal Government since… well, since President Lincoln. But which has been spreading even further into the tall weeds over the past 20-30 […]

Does anyone even remember why America was founded? Do Americans know what our progenators fled in the “old country” to create what became the United States? Considering who controls Education in this country its not likely even taught today.
But to the point, America was founded as a thumb in the eye of the […]

John Coleman fits squarely into my “heros” list after his comments before the San Diego Chamber of Commerce.

A nice and brief commentary on the Senate Democrats ‘Windfall Profits’ Tax heralding us back to the 1970’s in all the wrong ways. Reader contributions are also worth a read..

We’ve all heard how Obama is going to bring on “Change”, that mystical thing that has no definition yet will be the salvation of America. Yet if you look at who is working for Obama it seems like an Unemployed Democrat scorecard. So how can the same old party faithful bring change? Unless […]

Since the Democrats took control of the House the legislative focus has been to “get Bush” and a year and a half later that remains true. It is really too bad the Pelosi and Co have no issues more important. I mean the economy is in good shape, energy prices are falling, housing is […]

Not sure how I’ve missed this essay on the religion of global warming. A good read unless you’re a global warming fanatic, then you’ll hate it.
There is no faster way to make an enemy than to point out the truth of someone’s faults.

If he walks like a hardliner, talks like a hardliner, he probably is a Communist hardliner. In pointing a finger at “U.S. egotism” I think Dmitry completely missed the fact of his own egotism in believing that Russia was the economic salvation of the world.

I’ve said for some time when the weatherman cannot accurately model the weather a few days out why should anyone be foolish enough to believe their projections of global warming doom 10, 20 or 50 years out? Even near term models such as this hurricane season are so abysmally incorrect even the AP notes […]

Peter Schweizer of the Chicago Examiner takes an interesting look at whether Conservatives more honest than liberals using data from multiple studies. As always the comments posted below the story offer further insight. One poster even goes so far as to say the opposite of Schweizer’s assertion is true because liberals are honest on […]
