There has been something I’ve been wanting to show you guys. It is so cool: A United States map that morphs over the years to demonstrate where jobs have been gained and lost. Go look and then come back. Disturbing, right? Informative, too. See how Katrina blew up the economy of New Orleans? See how […]

This Pajamas video by Steven Crowder is a must-see. It’s 20 minutes of human evidence about horrible health care. And remember, the rich will always be able to afford to pay for better care. The public plan forces middle and lower income people who have good medical care now, into a government-run abyss of waiting […]

It’s self-evident that the President’s intention to remake America economically does not mean that he wants the market to be freer. In fact, the exact opposite is the case. Not only does President Obama want the government to centrally control the economy, he wants to control what industries make up the economy of the future. […]

In this show, John Hawkins and I discuss how moderates run the Republican Party. In the second half, we’re joined by Dr. X, a physician who discusses how patients act differently depending on how they pay, or if they pay.

Good grief! President Barack Obama takes the mantel of the American presidency and suddenly it dawns on him and the press that it’s a “grueling” job and grueling for the staff, too? Where’s my violin when I need it? What a bunch of pansy asses. Of course the job is tough. There are like, you […]

Might as well relax and take it people, the confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor is as good as done in the same way everyone knew that Franken would win the Minnesota Senate race even 600 votes behind. Like gravity and other forces of nature, Democrats march on ideologically while Republicans weakly offer limper versions of the […]

Seriously, Newsweek has an article stating, “Why Barack Obama represents American Catholics better than the pope does.” Um, what? So, in the spirit of Newsweek’s completely unbiased opinion, I’d like to run a poll. President Obama is a better Catholic than the Pope: Agree Disagree    pollcode.com free polls

Joe Biden stated last weekend that the administration underestimated the economic problem. You don’t say. Really, the didn’t think there even was a problem and decided to jam through Dem spending programs to pay off key Democratic constituencies. Only 1% of the Stimulus money has been loosed from bureaucratic hell. The rest will hit just […]

Good information here: Stream videos at Ustream By the way, the Health Care bill is full of pork. Improving the public parks is in there–because a prettier park will prevent cancer.

Is Barack Obama at the tipping point? Victor Hansen lays out the mystery: We are living in a surreal age of $2 trillion annual deficits, in which we just casually talk about “more stimulus”, “reforming health care”, “fixing education”, “cap-and-trade”, while fighting two wars abroad — all the while “not raising taxes on 95% of […]

In Florida, Marco Rubio fights on–he’s young, he’s conservative, he’s Hispanic, and according to the NRSC, he’s a losing candidate when compared to Charlie Crist, current Governor of Florida. Crist has name recognition, but more than that he has the right friends. The guys in charge, the guys who direct fundraising, the guys who endorse […]

Camille Paglia wrote a nice piece today about Sarah Palin. Worth reading. It got me to thinking. Especially this part, which I whole-heartedly agree with: What certainly was blameworthy was the chaotic and rushed statement itself. Something so politically consequential needed more careful composition and rehearsal. Why provide more fodder for the vultures and harpies […]

If you live a normal life, or you’re a Congressman or Senator, you haven’t read the Cap-N-Trade bill, but intrepid Jimmie Bise has and what he found was distressing on so many fronts. First the pain for home builders, an already destroyed industry here in the United States. From his latest AIP column: Let me […]

My latest Pajama’s column discusses abortion. Here’s a snippet: Those at the fringes of the abortion argument wish to make it simple. At the foundation of the ideological debate lies the civil rights of the unborn child versus the civil rights of the woman. Protect the life of the unborn (is it life?), or sacrifice […]

It’s no accident that President Barack Obama enjoys press adulation and unicorn coverage. It’s expensive. And best of all, the taxpayer, you, pay for it. Danny Glover has an excellent piece today aptly titled The Cost of Controlling the Press at Accuracy In Media and you need to read the whole thing. Here’s some of […]

I haven’t blogged obsessively about health care, though I could. I’ve avoided it mainly because it’s my every day life and it’s boring, even to me, and people have short attention spans. Now, it’s time to pay attention. There is one thing you should know, yea two things that should make your decision: One, we […]

My latest interview, this time with Erick, included some interesting information–especially about how the Tea Partiers should proceed. He and Red State have exciting plans for future activist direction. Good stuff. [Oh yeah, all music choices were Erick’s too.] Here’s the information: Download MP3 Melissa’s show can also be found on RFC Radio every Monday […]

If you had to choose one reason for the Palin-hatred what would it be? People hate Sarah Palin because: She’s a woman She’s beautiful She talks funny She’s working-class She’s anti-abortion She threatens the establishment    pollcode.com free polls And another poll: Sarah Palin: Is unelectable, now, period Is the Presidential Republican front runner for […]

Why does President Obama wind up on the wrong side of history? Between North Korea shooting rockets (ignoring it), blood on the streets of Iran and public hangings for those desiring freedom (bland indifference) and near civil war in Honduras (actively encouraging the communist, drug lord thugocracy), President Obama is establishing some interesting credentials. In […]

Unless you’re at the TeaParty and sweating in the sun, you’ve heard that Sarah Palin resigned good three weeks from now, from her post as Alaska Governor. Why? No one knows. Oh, there’s speculation. I myself wondered if it was because of health concerns. It could be as simple as she’s the Brangelina of politics […]

I thought it would be helpful before the Tea Parties to think a bit about what there is to achieve through these shindigs. Here are some rules to help us keep the big picture in mind: 1. Network: This is a time to get to know people and find a way to work together. Showing […]

Card Check, Cap-n-Trade and Government Run Health Care together create the Trifecta of Doom. Layer these inane policies on top of a suffering and quite nearly destroyed economy and America will be decimated economically for a very long time–maybe forever. And yet, the Democrats, like good little socialists, march on toward destruction paying no heed […]

Since no assumption of a soul or journalistic integrity has been made, it’s not surprising that the Washington Post would sell access to the Media-Obama power-broker axis. Mike Allen of the Politico breaks the story: The offer — which essentially turns a news organization into a facilitator for private lobbyist-official encounters — is a new […]

It speaks ill of John McCain that his former aids continue to bash Sarah Palin. It speaks ill of John McCain that he did not vociferously and ardently defend his running mate as she did him, post election. I have a reminder to the geniuses at the McCain camp: YOU LOST. BADLY. Now, there’s all […]

Don Surber found a gem. Evidently a 30-year old article from the Washington Post resurfaced and got printed either accidentally or on-purpose. President Carter and President Obama’s name could be interchanged and then there’s the part about coal: Byrd said he agreed with a plan by Finance Committee Chairman Russell B. Long (D-La.) to whip […]

When I did my post picking the hottest conservative guys, my criteria was simple: Were they datable? Now, many people saw the list and wondered at my choices. There was no “type”. Some guys were blond and blue eyed. Some guys were square-jawed. Some were scruffy. Some were baby-faced. Some were choir-boy innocent looking. They […]

My column for today takes on spending when there’s no money to spend: Do the middle class and the working poor realize what the Democrats are doing to them right now? Check out this Cap-n-Trade calculator that shows how the new taxes will affect people based on income. This policy is a regressive tax aimed […]

From CNN via (Allahpundit of Hotair): A new national poll suggests that nearly two-thirds of Americans think white firefighters in New Haven, Connecticut where discriminated against when the city tossed out the results of a promotion exam after too few minorities scored high enough on the test. Monday the Supreme Court, in a five to […]
