Keeping them Focused on Benghazi

    Benghazi is a much bigger problem for the Administration than the IRS/Tea party issue, or at least that would be a good bet. The IRS targeting of Patriotic groups is no doubt a very big problem. Anytime a government agency as powerful as the IRS is targeting groups for political purposes it is BAD NEWS. A Federal Government agency targeting groups that educate the general | Read More »

    Political Correctness, Bullying and other BS

    Some lessons need to be learned: You can tell your child a million times, “don’t touch the stove, it’s hot,” or you can tell them once, let them touch it, and they quickly figure it out.  Some will think I am evil, but the fact is it’s effective. Choices are a part of life; the wrong ones will burn you. Traditionally in America, we have | Read More »

    Somebody Please let me know when it’s OK to Freak Out!

    My father and his brothers had to hoe a row of corn, sleep with goats to stay warm, and fetch water for Grandma. They were the kids in high school that smelled like cow manure, and at the time, a lot of people did. He got beat (the kind they made illegal now) for his brothers doing something wrong, simply because he was the oldest | Read More »

    Brits Ban Guns at America’s Largest Gun Show

    The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show announced last week that America’s largest outdoor sports show will be banning “certain products” from the show.  This week it is becoming clear that they might be regretting that announcement. Reed Exhibitions, the British company promoting and organizing the event said in a statement “this year we have made the decision not to include certain products that in the | Read More »

    The Redstate Community

    The President iconic to this generation of conservatives often spoke of rugged individualism: A term that seems to be in direct conflict with community.  Today I was motivated to think about and share with you my thoughts on this conflict, or lack thereof. Many conservatives, myself included, believe that no one is responsible for us, other than ourselves.  We believe that our current situation, good | Read More »

    Real Sacrifice vs. Tiger Blood

    The President’s budget states that FY11 outlays (discretionary + mandatory) will be $3.819 Trillion Dollars. H.R. 1, the GOP alternative, reduces discretionary spending in FY11 by $110 Billion Dollars. All the fear mongering is just that… What’s on the chopping block constitutes approximately 0.0288% of the entire federal budget…so much for major sacrifices …does this really compare with the sacrifice of the boys at Pointe-du-Hoc? Is America serious about its future? | Read More »

    $78,000,000,000!?!?!?

    Big number?  Not really when we are talking $700 Billion for TARP, and most likely $1 Trillion PLUS for the stimulus package… Let’s get back to that $78,000,000,000 number though.  According to Harvard Law School Professor Elizabeth Warren that is how much more “We the People” paid for troubled assets than they were worth!  Professor Warren is Chairman of the congressional oversight committee for the | Read More »

    #TCOT’s co-founder asks Mike Duncan to step aside.

    Michael Patrick Leahy, co founder of Top Conservative on Twitter and the TCOTReport wrote an article today asking Mike Duncun to withdraw from the race for RNC Chair.  From Michael’s blog: There are a few who defend Duncan’s leadership. They claim he is a good manager of resources. This argument sounds to me like recommending the captain of the Titanic, had he survived the tragedy, to | Read More »

    The New Strategy

    I have a new strategy too. Republicans refuse to support this and put the bailout on the shoulders of the Dems. If they want it, let them OWN it. I have said this before, this is the tip of the iceberg in the upcoming financial crisis, and this bandaid is NOT going to fix it! Will the market recover a bit if passed? Maybe, but | Read More »

    Senate Updates Cafeteria Menu

    Really people you have to try this. Spread some feces on wheat bread, salt and pepper to taste, then top it off with: Film and Television Productions (Sec. 502) Wooden Arrows designed for use by children (Sec. 503) 6 page package of earmarks for litigants in the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident, Alaska (Sec. 504) Tax earmark “extenders” in the bailout bill. – Virgin Island and | Read More »
