Where We’ve Been Is Where I Want To Be

    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.

    Brutus was Right

    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. Brutus, Anti-Federalist We have been moving steadily towards this calamity since the dawn of the Progressive Era.  The object | Read More »

    A Note to GOProud and Other Libertarian Tea Partiers

    This weekend GOProud and some “Tea Partiers” decided to tell the GOP to put SoCons in the back of the bus. From Politico: “On behalf of limited-government conservatives everywhere, we write to urge you and your colleagues in Washington to put forward a legislative agenda in the next Congress that reflects the principles of the Tea Party movement,” they write to presumptive House Speaker John | Read More »

    Racism, Tea and The NAACP

    We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to | Read More »

    The, Not So Subtle, Racism of the Left

    Last Friday, I read an article by Charles M. Blow of the NYT, apparently a self loathing racist, in which he lays out his observations of the Dallas Tea Party. In this article you will find the usual leftist cries and hues of a lack of diversity in the Tea Party movement. This isn’t really a big deal for me at this point, as it | Read More »

    A Choice Not An Echo

    In my lifetime the greatest electoral achievements made by the Republican party were made possible by offering a choice rather than an echo. The Reagan Revolution and the ’94 Republican take over of the House were both examples of this. Once again in 2010 we will be given the option of offering a choice rather than an echo in Senate and Congressional races around the | Read More »

    OMG! What have they done?

    Not promoted from the diaries by anybody because we’ve promoted Aaron to the front page. Yes, yes, I know “My God, what hath thou wrought?” I’m asking myself the same thing. — Erick Come, sit by the campfire while I tell you a story. September 2000 I left the U.S. Army confident that Al Gore would be the next President of the United States of | Read More »

    2 ½ Years to Live

     Cross -Posted at The Minority Report In 2½ years I am going to die.  I know, it shocked me too.  I had a cancer earlier in my life and with the work of some really fine doctors it went into remission during the 80′s.  The cancer is a very rare form of cancer, one of the first cases was in France in 1715 and the Doctor who treated it | Read More »
