The U.S. Constitution is clear that the Federal Government power is to be limited to certain specific enumerated powers. The idea that the general welfare or commerce clause would be used to allow Congress to engage in more than these enumerated powers was considered laughable (see Federalist 41) and yet Congress has taken upon itself to create new authority for itself by simple majority vote. | Read More »
A foot or two of snow is forcast for D.C. Hopefully this will shut everything down–including Congress. Oh what a fate! I know it sounds despar-ate but a poem I had to write! C is for the crys of those who oppose H is for Harry Reid who seeks to impose. R is a reminder that it is “We the People”. I is to Inspire | Read More »
I wish I had thought of this myself–blame my catching the flu (yes H1N1) but Thomas Joscelyn of The Weekly Standard made a very keen observation given the announcement today that Iran has been working on a secret underground nuclear facility. http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2009/09/about_that_2007_national_intel.asp According to senior administration officials, U.S. intelligence has known about this facility for several years, and yet the 2007 National intelligence report stated | Read More »
Apple computer announced recently that it made over $1.23 billion in profits in just one quarter! This is an annual profit of $4.92 Billion dollars! Apple did this on sales of $8.34 Billion.

Just recieved a robo-call from our school district (Hamilton County schools in Chattanooga). They are advising parents to keep kids at home if they exhibit flu-like symptoms, but they also stated that “The Tennessee Department of Health will no longer confirm whether students at a school have H1N1 (Swine Flu) Therefore, we as parents are going to be kept in the dark whether or not | Read More »

Bloomerg reports: China February Auto Sales Rise 25% After Tax Cuts In the article it states that: “China has halved retail taxes on small cars and drawn up plans to give out vehicle subsidies in rural areas to revive demand” and that “Consumers are regaining confidence because of the (Chinese) government’s stimulus policies,” Can the | Read More »
Very interesting article in Forbes: Forbes Article on GM My opposing viewpoint: An end to GM would not be the end of the world. We are not going to have to walk to work. Other manufacturers will build our cars and trucks. In fact, business will grow for the other carmakers. Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina and Mississippi–and Georgia to come–are the states where foreign | Read More »
The Dems are proposing another stimulus package. This one will include spending for infrastructure (Roads, Bridges, etc.). However, it is also becoming apparent that it will include aid to keep big State/local governments big, and aid to bailout corporations. What would conservatives propose? Add your proposals. I will add the good ones to the list. Since I hope this will be a forum, let me | Read More »

Obama wants to kill the industry! Obama plans to “bankrupt” those electric companies that use coal and with it coal producers. Contact your friends who are in the coal industry, have UNION workers call to ask United Mine Workers to drop Obama endorsement.

Do not become side-tracked! At a booth today, a get-out-the-vote group was passing out red bands to Republicans and blue bands to Democrats. I was discussing Obama’s view that it was a tragedy that the Supreme Court did not redistributed wealth when a person came up and the lady asked which band he wanted and he said: “I thought I knew but now I don’t” | Read More »
The LA Times is claiming the source did not want the tape revealed. Then why did the person send the tape in the first place? He/she must have thought this tape was important but didn’t want it aired because of possible retribution from the PLO. So we should demand a full transcript and limited audio of the key parts of the video without being able | Read More »
But aren’t 401K and pension funds untaxed now? You as an individual don’t pay any tax on these earnings (until withdrawn) but the corporation must pay a tax on these earnings even if they are going to your retirement fund. This means that right now every worker who is saving for retirement is being taxed at a marginal 35% rate! (higher if Obama is elected)! | Read More »

Simple question for McCain to ask: So how has it worked? Do you feel richer? Is America richer? Is America Better off? Are workers better off? Are we off when the government gives preferential treatment to those with bad credit (for | Read More »

UPDATE: Now Natural Gas prices will be going up!!! Russia, Iran and Qatar appararently have agreed to form cartel like OPEC for Natural Gas production. I do not believe this is an accident. IMHO, this is a deliberate attempt to force the U.S. into an economic depression so that our influence in the world is reduced and Russia can again exert influence. Economic War Declared | Read More »
“his plan gives away your tax dollars to those who don’t pay taxes. That’s not a tax cut, that’s welfare. America didn’t become the greatest nation on earth by redistributing wealth; we became the greatest nation by creating new wealth.”
This was the mantra of Bill Clinton’s campaign. They posted signs in their offices to remind themselves. McCain needs those signs. Any ad McCain run needs to be related to the economy.

Defenders of ACORN have been basically saying that people registering more than once is not uncommon and is not an indication of fraud. Well they caught one! Here’s the Link
