The Globalization of The RedState Gathering

    I’ve succumbed to The TRANSOM… now for a RedState Gathering money making suggestion! Erick and other RedState directors, As much as I was looking forward to attending #RSG2013 alas I cannot… as flight fare from Her Majesty’s disjointed kingdom (plus duties) preclude me from what I dare say will be the most important RedState Gathering since a young Florida state representative came to speak.

    Newt Gingrich on verge of being Rick Roll’d

    I have a confession to make. As not a nube contributor Aaron Gardner can attest, I would have supported Gov. Rick Perry‘s run from the get-go, but for populist Tea Party reasons, I jumped aboard the CainTrain, only to jump off at the last transfer station when this happened. Someone is going to make money dissecting how Team Perry imploded, and they’ll source a lot | Read More »

    LiveBlogging FoxNews Debate

    RedState has forced me outside my “comfort zone”. So I’m up on the FoxNews LiveBlog and destroying their Twitter #DODGE and #ANSWER tool — quite fun, muahahahahah (FWIW, I became an official supporter of Governor Perry’s bid today; I jumped off the slow-moving CainTrain nine weeks ago, despite the forthcoming 9-9-9 tour bus).

    Driveling Democrat Responds to ‘Absentee’ American, 19 days later

    Rep. Mark Schauer’s futile money-shot: “I understand the concerns that many Americans have over how their government is spending taxpayers’ money. One of the reasons I ran for Congress is because I believed we needed to end the fiscal irresponsibility that turned a $234 billion surplus into a $1.2 trillion deficit by the time I took office.”

    The Fallacy of Stimulus’ “Green Jobs”

    Where are the 2.5 million “green” jobs Mr. President? It appears now that they are not only a fabrication, but even the alleged 87,000 jobs to be created by $16 billion in Stimulus weatherization funds are nearly nowhere to be found, unless one looks to more government jobs. Liberal mayors helped champion this scam on the American people, and they too should be called into | Read More »

    OGM! Only the Latest Example of Fractured U.S.-Mexico Policy

    Does Cindy even have a basis for a legitimate rant? Let’s break it down. Americans bailout GM, and while still having a 60% stake in this company, a/k/a Government (or Obama) Motors, it ups and brings another plant in Mexico with 400 jobs that could just as easily be done on Tennessee. In exchange, Americans get a porous border with our southern neighbor, illegal drug | Read More »

    Allah Clears Way for Ground Zero Mosque?

    If you are a believer in that God draws straight with crooked lines, then it only stands to reason that Allah has cleared a path for where the monies for that proposed Ground Zero mosque can be built. No, not our Ground Zero, this ground zero. I bet this would be a good jumping off point to match dollar for dollar in aid in exchange | Read More »

    Paypal targeting conservative blogs. Who is next?

    My props to Twitter for the tip directing me to this American Spectator piece. All I know is if Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs can be refused by PayPal, American Thinker where she crossposts may be next, and then who? “Under the Acceptable Use Policy, PayPal may not be used to send or receive payments for items that promote hate, violence, racial intolerance or the | Read More »

    The enemy of my enemy is Shi’a?

    In the wake of an Iranian spy ring scandal in Kuwait and staring down today’s anniversary (June 12th) of the green movement comes this leaked report. Fly the Saudi friendly skies? Today can’t be a great day for the regime in Tehran.

    911 (Obama) Is A Joke

    I think I’m getting used to this meme from the Obama Administration. When there’s a problem, they aren’t in charge, period. BP has the lead on the oil leak, Gov. Jindal has the lead on the oil mess, and the MMS Chief quits her post without her boss, Obama, knowing of it. (Personally, if I were a Lib, I’d blame the Duke Mens basketball team | Read More »

    Who will RS endorse in the Georgia 12th?

    Not for the simple fact that lapdog liberal (and Athens, Georgia-area) carpetbagger Congressman John Barrow remains in congress and supports Nancy Pelosi when it matters most (as in most of the time and when voting for Speaker), I am beyond fed up and TEA’d off that snake-oil salesman John remains in Georgia’s office of the 12th district to this day. I am blogging of a | Read More »

    Seating Senator Scott Brown

    Sean Hannity was just reporting that Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, has said that Scott Brown will be sworn in when the "proper paperwork is received".  Sean went on to say that Sen. John Kerry should stand up for the people of Massachusetts and call for Senator-elect Brown to be seated. Regardless of when Senator Brown is sworn in, "proper paperwork", certification results, whatever… the | Read More »

    Message to Beltway GOP: Have Senator-elect Scott Brown deliver GOP response to the State of the Union address

    I can think of no better way to “let the people speak”, than to have Senator-elect Brown deliver the GOP response to President Obama’s first State of the Union speech next week (whether he is sworn in or not!).  As it was mentioned in this AP article no less. “It would make everybody the 41st senator, and it would bring fairness and discussion back to | Read More »

    SC Gov. candidate Nikki Haley ignored. What gives RasmussenReports?

    I did my daily pull on Rasmussen Reports today and came across 2010 South Carolina Governor: Democrat Rex Runs Close Against Top GOP Hopefuls. Naturally I clicked on it, curious to see how state rep. Nikki Haley fared. Much to my surprise, her name was not even polled. What gives RasmussenReports?

    Recession Over, Obama’s continues…

    Huzzah! The recession is over, so says Reuters. Even if it is spurned in part by government tax-relief (wow, tax-breaks, one would think liberals would get a clue) via home buyer tax credits and the “cash for clunkers” programs, it is time we all embrace this news. However, in calling the “(Bush) recession” over, it’s time to mark the beginning of the Obama recession. The | Read More »

    POTUS’ One-Star Reading List

    Having reviewed the President’s summer reading list, I’m giving it one out of five stars (okay, maybe 1 1/2) and that’s because I found John Adams by David McCullough a good read. Maybe it’s the constitutionalist in me. Here’s a few I am recommending to our POTUS, what about you?

    Biden increases charitable giving by 1894%!!

    Bidens reported donations of $1,885 to charity in 2008 That’s a 1894% increase over last years and much better than the pittance before. The buzz over his and his bosses 2008 tax filings. Perhaps the not deducted “church donations” was the extra change from Ol’ Joe’s pocket?

    Extremism in the eyes of pathological narcissists

    Narcissism is part of a normal developmental phase and reflects the universal need during early childhood, and later in life, to be loved and confirmed. However, there are many possibilities of being hurt in the course of this developmental phase and this experience will leave the individual with a narcissistic vulnerability. One way of handling this is to develop a pathological narcissism, the most prominent | Read More »

    What’s your Tax Enough Already story? (open thread)

    So I did the math ‘tween my last paycheck and today’s, now that the IRS has adjusted taxable witholdings for all to wonder in amazement at our Dear Leader’s promise of a tax break for 95% of working Americans.  Mine comes out to 54 cents more per pay period or 3.4 cents/day. Here’s what I’m NOT looking forward to (courtesy of The Heritage Foundation): • | Read More »
