What Is Going On With Senate Republicans? I Think I Know
It’s apparent Senate Republicans have made some kind of deal with Reid and Senate Democrats. But why?

Reading a liberal like Dana Milbank requires a strong constitution and a strong stomach. And speaking of constitution, the U.S. Constitution is something Milbank knows very little about, as is on display here in a piece titled “A strange way to honor the founding fathers.”
The federal government plans on intruding more into the lives of all Americans. First, Congress is looking to pass an expansive food safety law. The FDA would be given the authority to impose additional standards, including new registration and documentation of safety plans by food producers to be given to the federal government, along with the authority to order recalls. The effect could very well | Read More »
Newsweek has a piece entitled “Can Laws Fix the Obesity Crisis?” It starts out by identifying a couple of places where government is imposing itself in order to force the people to eat healthy. The piece also points out that there haven’t been any good studies to determine if these laws are effective. But the key comes in near the end of the article when | Read More »
Disclosure: I am not a supporter of same-sex marriage. As a constitutional conservative and a traditionalist, I believe that the definition of marriage is that of a committed relationship between one man and one woman who are not directly related to each other by blood. This is the foundation of family stability (I haven’t helped in this since I did divorce my first wife; I’ve | Read More »
The title of this post can be used almost every time when discussing liberals. And they do hate the United States Constitution. If they loved it, liberals wouldn’t spend so much time trying to subvert it. This is either through the courts by having liberal activist judges and Justices legislating unconstitutionally or via unelected bureaucrats making “rules” they have no business making. It also occurs | Read More »
So, Justice John Paul Stevens is retiring. Now we learn that Dawn Johnsen has withdrawn her nomination to run the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) at the DoJ. Teh Won had been hankering so bad to get Johnsen in that position that he nominated her twice while the idiot Senate Majority “Leader” Reid dithered on bringing the nomination for a full vote on the Senate | Read More »
Earlier today, I had a post on the extremely biased (pro-Democrat and pro-statist, naturally) “news” article by Dan Eggen at the Washington Post about a WaPo-ABC News poll showing Americans of all political persuasions being against the recent Citizens United v. FEC ruling that pretty much trashed the 1st Amendment violation known as McCain-Feingold. In the post, there was nothing showing the questions that were | Read More »
Dan Eggen at the Washington Post wrote a completely pro-Democrat and pro-statist piece called “Poll: Large majority opposes Supreme Court’s decision on campaign financing,” a report on a Washington Post-ABC News poll regarding the recent Citizens United v. FEC ruling, disguising it as a news article. It is claimed that as many as 85% of Democrats, 81% of independents, and, shockingly, 76% of Republicans oppose | Read More »
Matt Yglesias screeches about the conservative uproar over the Undiebomber unconstitutionally given rights by Attorney General Eric Holder, trying to say that the terrorist is the same type of criminal as any other that goes through the civilian criminal justice system. The problem is that he utterly refuses, like so many leftists, to consider that he is absolutely wrong. Yglesias falls into the pattern leftists | Read More »
John Kerry, Massachusett’s now-senior Senator (I wonder how long he’s wanted to be referred to that way), has decided that all other problems in the country are to be sidelined so that the United States can pass an amendment to the U.S. Constitution: As anger at last month’s Supreme Court decision that gutted decades of campaign finance laws continues to build on Capitol Hill, Senator | Read More »
Over the past year, we’ve heard Teh Won dismiss the notion of American exceptionalism as he went on his World Apology Tour, saying that the populations of every country believes it is exceptional. While this may appear true at some level on the surface, the fact is America, by design, is exceptional, and nowhere is this better displayed than in our people’s ability to homeschool | Read More »
UPDATE: I can’t get the video to work. You can either watch it at the White House website, or view the entire post, including the video, below at my blog. Or just read the transcript that I link to below. Teh Won, someone who claims to be an “expert” on the U.S. Constitution, decided to discuss how wrong the Citizens United v. FEC decision was | Read More »
Regardless of where you are in regards to marriage between people of the same sex (as I mentioned here, I am against it, Vermont constitutionally passed legislation legalizing such marriages. Vermont is the only state to have made them legal in the method approved of by conservatives, through the legislative process (and without a prior ruling by the state courts), while the other three, Massachusetts, | Read More »
As has already been reported, Iowa’s Supreme Court unanimously overturned a law defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman, thus granting same-sex couples to get “married”. The left defines this as a huge victory for “civil rights” and in the cause of “marriage equality”, and they proudly proclaim how the court followed the Constitution. There is a mention in the ruling | Read More »
Anybody want to wager that the fix was in to pass the $410 billion omnibus bill? Don’t bet against it; it’s a sucker bet.
