Me? I was working my butt off at my job. Why? Because in addition to taking care of my wife and 4-month-old son, Obama and the other socialists in Washington have decreed that I also have to work to take care of various Peggy the Moochers out there who think that a life is owed [...]

Arlen Specter left the GOP for the socialist Dems yesterday. I say, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” Specter has kicked the GOP in the teeth too many times for this to be anything other than a good happening. But, let’s look at a few things Specter needs to iron out. [...]

Note the following photographs: And then read what Jeaneane Garofalo had to say: “Let’s be very honest about what this is about,” actress/comedian Janeane Garofalo said on Keith Olbermann’s MSNBC show. “It’s not about bashing Democrats. It’s not about taxes. They have no idea what the Boston Tea Party was about. They don’t know their [...]

Well, so much for “diversity” and trying to bring multiple points of view to the issues. And so much for any post-partisanship the Dems claimed would be their hallmark after the 2006 and 2008 elections. It is all straight-line partisanship now. It all went out the window when the Dems chose ideology over science and [...]

I remember the libs stamping their feet and screaming that the election of Barack Obama would make the world a safer, better place. Well, someone forgot to tell that to the Taliban in Pakistan. The Taliban is threatening to topple the Pakistani government. From the Daily Mail: Extremists are now just 60 miles from the [...]

The Obama administration has come forward and said that they do not want Islamic terrorists to be called “terrorists” and that we should listen and learn in an effort to better understand them. But this same administration regards all those who disagree with it’s policies as “potential terrorists.” The administration has yet to distance itself [...]

I’ve been a proponent of the FairTax for a few years now. My faith in the FairTax has never waivered nor will it anytime soon. Although many on the left (and a few on the right) have worked to discredit the idea of the FairTax over the past few years, the movement is gaining momentum. [...]

I’ve been looking at the news and comparing the ways each network covered the Tax Day Tea Parties. Of course, left-leaning news outlets said every possible negative thing they could have said about the demonstrations, even things that were not true. It is those untrue items I wish to discuss here. Item #1: The claim [...]

Thomas Jefferson once said, “When people fear the government, that’s tyranny. When government fears the people, that’s liberty.” The U.S. Government should take the time to understand what Jefferson said and to relate it to yesterday’s Tea Parties. Those tea parties were not the elite coming together nor was it the rich coming out in [...]

Here is an interesting article that comes, not from Fox News or Town Hall or NewsMax, but from CNN. Thus, no one can claim that the following is coming from any right-leaning website: The top fifth of households made 56% of pre-tax income in 2006 but paid 86% of all individual income tax revenue collected, [...]

Fiscal responsibility is one reason why we should be supporting all of the Tea Parites being held today. But personal responsibility isn’t very far down the list of reasons to do so. Tom Hamburger and Ralph Vartabedian of the Chicago Tribune have this to say: The Treasury secretary, who oversees the IRS, didn’t pay all [...]

In what is obviously a pro-Democrat partisan move, the Department of Homeland Security released a report stating that U.S. Military Veterans are likely to become extremists working for right-wing groups. No mention was made of people like Bill Ayers being extremists for left-wing groups though. This whole thing is a huge slap in the face [...]

A fairly decent start. My hat is off to the Obama administration for taking such decisive action against the Somali pirates holding Captain Richard Phillips hostage in a life boat out on the Indian Ocean. In a courageous rescue, Navy SEALs killed three pirates during the successful mission. From the Associated Press: In a daring [...]

One thing Obama is good at is insulting the collective intelligence of the entire United States of America. For example, he tells us that this will be the most morally upright administration in history, but then nominates an entire slew of cabinet members who “forgot” to pay their taxes. He promises transparency in his administration, [...]

In my post from yesterday, I wondered whether or not the Somali pirate attack on the U.S.-flagged MAERSK ALABAMA may have been a result of the pirates being emboldened by Obama’s various shows of weakness during his European tour. Other are thinking exactly what I was thinking. An editorial from Investor’s Business Daily notes some [...]
