In 2008 Conservatism, and our nation, took a thorough beating. The reigns of power were passed on to a revolutionary cause inspired by Marx. Some may chastise me for such inflammatory rhetoric, but I don’t really feel like mincing words in this post. The current administration is filled with Marxists, this is simple fact. Proof of this was seen mere moments after President Obama finished | Read More »
Honestly, I have a hard time knowing whether Sen. Chuck Schumer [D-NY] is evil or just stupid. Thankfully the English language conveniently provides the word “and’ to assist in situations like this. You see, the good Senator from New York isn’t happy with President Obama’s new, old, current, ever thus, plan to make the rich pay their fair share. Actually, that isn’t entirely true, Chuck | Read More »
With news this past week of Solyndra’s bankruptcy, firing of 1,100 employees and federal agents now raiding the homes of the executives, I thought it would be instructive for all to go back to where this began. Two years ago on September 4th of 2009, Vice President Biden was live via satellite to praise a little known solar company that was going to help America | Read More »
As we all await President Obama’s new plan, which will be the same as the old plan, in tomorrow night’s speech to a joint session of Congress, it would behoove us to take a few minutes to watch the video below from the Cato Institute. There are some truly stunning, and truly disgusting, figures presented in that short video. The one that disgust me the | Read More »
Everything administered as remedy to the public complaint, if it did not produce, was at least followed by, an heightening of the distemper; until, by a variety of experiments, that important country has been brought into her present situation–a situation which I will not miscall, which I dare not name, which I scarcely know how to comprehend in the terms of any description. In light | Read More »
This past weekend I had the pleasure of, once again, attending the RedState Gathering. I began my 90 mile drive to the nearest airport at 4 am Friday morning. Two flights later and I was in Charleston before lunch. I arrived at the hotel and checked in to my room before meeting up with Erick and Neil to go to Staples and Chick-Fil-A. This was | Read More »
Sen. Marco Rubio [R-FL] took to the Senate floor for a 15 minute speech on the Debt Ceiling debate. Around 7 mins in Sen. John Kerry [D-NVA] thought he would try and debate him. Hilarity ensued. [h/t to The Corner]
Earlier today I received an email with the following video: I like it, it is direct and it is true. To borrow less, you have to spend less. As has been noted by Erick multiple times the last few weeks, D.C. has a spending addiction. So much so that even the cuts that they propose only cut the rate of spending rather than cutting what we are | Read More »
As we slide ever closer to the edge of the fiscal abyss, it is important that we understand the priorities of the principles involved in the debt ceiling negotiations. For Republicans the priorities have been clear for some time, cut the debt, cap the spending, and balance the budget. For the Democrats they’ve really only shown one priority, increasing “revenue” aka tax increases, a priority | Read More »
The other day Erick provided his thoughts on the severity of our current economic circumstances and the games that are being played by some of our representatives in congress. Erick essentially threw down the gauntlet and said ‘no more’, calling for conservatives in congress and activists throughout the nation to take the pledge below. I pledge that if any Republican votes to increase the debt | Read More »
