The Employee Free Choice Act or, more appropriately, the Employee Forced Choice Act is bad for workers and employers alike. Many on the Right, who have been referring to the legislation simply as “card check,” have made great progress in exposing the anti-democratic elimination of the secret ballot, which not only hurts workers, but also […]

I’ve said many, many times that I tend to avoid the abortion debate, but, there are two things that get me riled up: later term abortions and parental notification/consent. In this case, we are discussing the magazine Mother Jones, a far, far left progressive site, and a combination of typical Palin Derangement Syndrome with hatred […]

Despite the fact that the climate temperature has decreased by .74F since Gore release An Inconvenient Truth even though CO2 atmospheric concentrations continue to rise, the True Believers think they have hit upon another fantastic scheme, controlling the rich To fairly divide the climate change fight between rich and poor, a new study suggests basing […]

Last month, Sen. John Thune took to the Senate floor and cable news networks promoting his plan for the government to get out of business. His “government ownership exit plan” calls for the governments’ troops, as it were, to withdraw from the auto industry, banks, etc. in one year, by July 2010, with the possibility […]

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 […]

We continue to hear how wonderful it is as compared to the horrible US system. But is it? One of the fundamental truths of any health care system is you have infinite demand meeting finite resources (beds, doctors, availability, etc). Whatever system a country has, that truth doesn’t change. So, regardless of system, there is […]

Nancy Pelosi was unable to install disgraced former judge Alcee Hastings — who was impeached for bribery and perjury, and then hit a further low by cochairing Shrillary’s presidential campaign — as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. But that doesn’t mean this felonious Congresscritter (D-FL) hasn’t been busily participating in the destruction of our […]

Interest in politics bottoms out this time of year. People are in vacation mode, and elections are far away. Despite this and the scorching heat in some parts of the country, the Independence Day Tea Parties were a great success. Hundreds of thousands turned out at over 2,000 rallies in all 50 states. Even some […]

I tried to think of a good analogy of Obama’s goodwill babble as our economy sinks. This is what I came up with. Imagine tens of thousands people in a auditorium listening to Obama speak. He gives a fantastic speech, and almost every one is mesmerized. Then the people in the back and the top […]

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 […]

The first quote is money.

One would think that a responsible elected official would read the legislation before voting for it, alas After Democratic promises to run the most open and transparent Congress in history, Republicans say they are stunned by the number of closed-off debates over legislation, including spending bills, and the lack of time to actually see, let […]

Will Rogers once said “We elect people to office that we wouldn’t invite over for dinner.” And H.L. Mencken put forth that “A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar.” For the most part, people in national politics, and not just the politicians, but the handlers, the media, the policy wonks, etc, […]

He took off a few hours ago from the US in – wait for it – a Venezuelan plane. Naturally the UN has actually gotten off of its rear-end and taken what, for it, is “action”. The UN General Assembly President Miguel D’Escoto Brockmann and a number of journalists are accompanying former Honduran president Mel […]

My fellow blogger Scott Ott, the man behind the inimitable “Scrappleface” but in real life the executive director of a non-profit organization serving children, is seeking to become the next Lehigh County, Pennsylvania Executive. His campaign is premised on the idea that his years of business experience have prepared him to take bold action to […]

One thing we conservatives have always been is honest. We’ve said time and time again that we will go after politicians, our own and the Democrats, on policy. We went after Bush on some issues, such as Dubai Ports, illegal immigration, out of control spending, and Harriet Myers, among others. And, unlike the Left, we […]

And gets truly stupid. Mike Lux, in what looks to be a shameless plug for his book, goes Pure Barking Moonbat On this holiday celebrating the courage of America’s brave revolutionary founders, all Americans can celebrate. But progressives should take special pride in this holiday, for it was the ultimate achievement of progressive values that […]

Happy birthday, America! I’ve got a few Fourth-related items–mostly videos–worth sharing today: It’s a couple days old now, but it bears repeating: Karl Rove’s column this week is essential reading. Read this snippet, and you’ll want to know what happens: “I’m a pretty good orthopedic surgeon. When my younger son is deployed to Iraq next […]

By shooting off seven ballistic missiles this morning. North Korea fired seven ballistic missiles off its eastern coast Saturday, South Korea said, a violation of U.N. resolutions and an apparent message of defiance to the United States on its Independence Day. The launches, which came two days after North Korea fired what were believed to […]

Lots of talk radio hosts were on vacation this week, due to the Independence Day holiday. That means “best of” shows and guest hosts. Tammy Bruce (who has a superb new website, by the way) sat in for Laura Ingraham, for example (bringing to the show a blend of Ingraham’s familiar candor with a much […]

Democrats in the Senate want their health care reform enacted as soon as possible. If these four Republicans go the way of the Ds–and that’s not an impossible scenario–the intrusive government takeover of the health care industry may happen before the August recess. The only way we can take action and attempt to have an […]

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 […]

Just got back from the pool, have watched what was going on on Twitter and the ‘Net on ye olde iPhone. Both John and Cassy have posts up, but, I want to add my 2 1/3 cents in In a stunning announcement, Gov. Sarah Palin said Friday morning she will resign her office in a […]

I don’t use the “L” word very often but in this case it seems completely appropriate. The question: Would a government-run health plan upend the employer-based health insurance system used by 160 million Americans? The Democrats claim the answer is ‘no’. Here’s their rationalization: Sens. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and Chris Dodd, D-Conn., say their plan […]

On my first day of vacation and this story breaks. Wow. Well, I had to do at least one post on this. Couldn’t help it. When I first heard Sarah Palin wasn’t running again in 2010, I thought she was just clearing the way to run for President in 2012. There’s just no way she […]

Sarah Palin just held a live press conference from Wasilla, AK stating that she is resigning her post as governor. WOW. Gov. Sarah Palin will resign her office in a few weeks, she said during a news conference at her Wasilla home Friday morning. Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will be inaugurated at the Governor’s Picnic […]

Paul Krugman needs to stop advocating policies that will destroy this Country. He even wants another stimulus.

Over two hundred years ago, a group of patriots who believed in freedom and equality for all risked execution for treason in order to build a nation on the principles they believed in. This was culminated in a Declaration of Independence being signed on July 4, 1776. And 233 years ago today, a man who […]

Crossposted at Pink Elephant Pundit I feel like a lot of this week was spent recovering from the events of last week. However, July kicked off with it’s own share of drama. Monday brought us the new Duke pedophile case. You know, the one you’ve really only heard about on Righty blogs. From WRAL: On […]

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 […]
