The gun industry is in no need of stimulus.  So far this year, over 9 million guns have been sold in America and over a million were sold just last month: Data released by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) reported 1,074,757 checks in August 2009, a 12.3 percent increase from the […]

It wasn’t too long ago that the Obama administration, in conjunction with Senate Democrats, destroyed a DC voucher program that allowed DC parents to send their children to private schools.  This was a Democrat united front to destroy school choice. And it seems that wasn’t enough.  In the proposed Obama budget, historical Black colleges are […]

Back in September of 2007, I wrote the definitive history on the effort to legalize pedophilia.  It was called “The Shadow Sexual Revolution – The Push to Legalize Pedophilia.” In it, I discussed everything from Kinsey to the ACLU’s push to “make the sale and distribution of child porn…safe under the First Amendment.” A new […]

In 2007, it seemed that every toy that came out of China was covered in lead based paint.  There were other concerns, like the pet food they exported made with deadly chemicals.  That was devastating to some pet owners. In response to this, Congress swiftly leapt into action and passed the “Consumer Product Safety Improvement […]

The problem with Obama’s plan for government run healthcare is the same as for socialized health care.  Yes, there is a difference, but ultimately, his plan will end up costing more than it is expected too.  I wrote about this extensively here.  For a great example of why this is destined to happen, look to […]

Gasoline where I am is back down to $1.49 a gallon.  The national average right now is about $1.65 a gallon.  The Eco-Marxists aren’t happy with the price of gasoline being low.  If you remember during the primaries, even Barack Obama said the price wasn’t bad, it just rose too fast. To the green mafia, […]

“Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent.” – Jim Quinn It was January of 2007 when the House passes the first minimum wage increase in a decade.  Senate Republicans added a ton of tax breaks to small businesses to the minimum wage increase before passing it in February. They bickered back and […]

The Pentagon has released a plan to deploy 20,000 troops in America by 2011.  The deployment would be to assist locals in dealing with terrorist attacks, or so the story goes: Before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, dedicating 20,000 troops to domestic response — a nearly sevenfold increase in five years — “would […]

Define R.I.N.O.: A Republican In Name Only. Examples of the type of Republican covered under this definition are: Rep. Mark Kirk [R-IL] Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen [R-FL] Rep. Michael Ferguson [R-NJ] Rep. Christopher Shays [R-CT] Rep. Michael Castle [R-DE] These five supposed Republican are nothing more than jackasses in elephant’s clothing. Rep. Mark Kirk has introduced […]

For the record, Democrats: Refuse to build more coal-fired power plants because they spew deadly (that’s a joke folks) carbon dioxide into the atmosphere Refuse to drill in ANWR because its bad for the environment and those poor porcupine caribou Idolize Al Gore because he drives a Prius Key Hummers because the burn so much […]

When Sen. Ted Kennedy was diagnosed with cancer, I was possibly the first writer to look at what his treatment would be like if he were to be treated under the type of health care system he and other Democrats had been promoting for years. I called it “Ted Kennedy’s Cancer Treatment Under Socialized Medicine.” […]

The Republicans were taken to the woodshed last night and there is a very good reason why. For those still looking for an explanation, you can find it in the words of Ronald Wilson Reagan: A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be […]

In the video below, there are several kids who are apparently teaching the viewer how to talk to their parents, aunts or uncles and grandparents about the importance of voting. One of the people in the video says that he told his grandmother that if she voted Obama, “maybe she wouldn’t have to buy me […]

In Grover Norquist‘s new book, “Leave Us Alone: Getting the Government’s Hands Off Our Money, Our Guns, Our Lives,” he writes: When Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980, less than 20 percent of American households owned stock directly. Today, 50 percent of households own stock and two-thirds of all voters in the past elections were […]
