As the aggression of the Monarchy grew, the future Founders of our blessed nation began to take steps to raise an army for defense. “The New England delegations immediately tried to secure congressional support for armed opposition to Great Britain.

Left wing journolister, Ezra Klein, posted an article yesterday wherein he argues that the economy will continue to suck, we should all prepare for tax hikes, and Pawlenty is lying. He comes to his authoritative conclusion by consulting an economic megamind consisting of people made famous for being wrong, and/or being tied to Think Progress, but I repeat myself.

I can scarcely contemplate a greater calamity that could befall this country, than be loaded with a debt exceeding their ability ever to discharge. If this be a just remark, it is unwise and improvident to vest in the general government a power to borrow at discretion, without any limitation or restriction.

More than a decade ago, a Supreme Court decision literally wiped off the books of 50 States statutes protecting the rights of unborn children. Abortion on demand now takes the lives of up to | Read More »
I have decided to take a vacation from RedState. The pre-primary season has already set a tone and it’s not one I tend to care for. I’m a fighter by nature, protective of my colleagues and the community at large, with that comes a certain passion that can manifest itself in de-constructing trolls, mobies, libertines, and other various miscreants of the blogosphere.
