No matter how well-intentioned Liberal/Progressive policies may appear to the American people, the end results are always the same… Failure. Tragedy. Destruction. Dependency. Throughout the 2012 election cycle, the economy and jobs consistently polled higher than anything else on the minds of the American electorate. When asked why economic growth was so anemic and unemployment remained historically high, the “so-called” experts always said, “It’s the | Read More »

I’ve heard it on good and unimpeachable authority* that Team Obama was forced to leave most of the original tape allegedly showing “Paul Ryan throwing Granny over a cliff in a wheelchair” on the cutting room floor. Apparently, as the Paul Ryan ‘look-alike’ made his way back from the edge of the cliff, Axelrod and Plouffe became so engrossed in self-praise and smug superiority for | Read More »

In a perfect world, total federal spending is constitutionally limited to 18% of GDP, and a balanced federal budget is mandated. The federal government is held accountable for the environment it fosters. Allocation of Federal Expenditures Defense and National Security – 5% GDP or 28% Total Federal Outlays Entitlements – 5% GDP or 28% Total Federal Outlays Remaining Departments – 5% GDP or 28% Total | Read More »

From the Clinton News Network,™ we have this very telling exchange between Secretary Clinton and Wolf Blitzer. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer she does not want to serve a second term as secretary of state or run for president of the United States. Blitzer sat down with the former 2008 presidential candidate in Cairo. Q- If the president is reelected, do | Read More »

Beware the Ides of March– Meltdowns, smack-downs, skyrocketing food prices, soaring energy cost, record deficits, crippling unemployment, declining revenues, insolvent entitlements and no plan to deal with any of the former has taken its toll on the Obama Presidency. Just 22% of Likely U.S. Voters say the country is heading in the right direction, the lowest level of confidence found since before President Obama’s inauguration | Read More »

Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was booted from the ballot in the Chicago mayoral race on Monday.

Clearly, the bloom is off the rose. Americans are divided over whether President Barack Obama or his predecessor has performed better in the White House, according to a new national poll. And a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday also indicates in the battle for Congress, Republicans hold large advantages over the Democrats among independents, men and blue-collar whites. The poll also indicates that Republicans | Read More »

Because Democrats and their Wall Street cronies continue to lie about their symbiotic partnership and mutually beneficial role in obstructing critically needed regulatory reform of corrupt GSE’s and the sub-prime market they spawned, and the partisan press continues to cover it up, it’s necessary to remind the voters of just how we got here. Especially since a large part of the American people were apparently | Read More »

I was perusing The Foundry over the weekend, and this blog entry by J.D. Foster really stood out. It is timely, the subject matter is ready-made for the mid-terms, it can be condensed into powerful campaign material, it’s accurate and informative, it leaves no wiggle-room, and it is brief. Plus, it has a nifty graph. The Obama Administration announced “Recovery Summer” in June to highlight | Read More »

According to the CBO, President Obama’s proposals are projected to reduce the federal budget deficit through 2014. That’s the good news. However, the budget deficit “would rise steadily thereafter.” It’s not a very pretty sight. As indicated in the chart below, the hole just keeps getting deeper. Some key highlights of the preliminary analysis from the Director’s blog: –If the President’s proposals were enacted, the | Read More »

If Tuesday’s oral arguments before the Court were any indication, the individual right to keep and bear arms is fundamental, and there is no way to read Heller that makes the 2nd Amendment anything less than a fundamental right. JUSTICE KENNEDY: But I thought its rationale was that because of its fundamental character, the right to bear arms must be understood as separate from the | Read More »

Senate Republicans decline any further participation in the assault against the Intelligence Community. Republicans on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence said Friday that they will no longer participate in an investigation into the Bush administration’s interrogation policies, arguing that Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.’s decision to reexamine allegations of detainee abuse by the CIA would hobble any inquiry. And Sen. Bond is absolutely | Read More »

The Iranian people do not have the right to have their voices heard, nor do they have the right to participate in free and fair elections. The State grants privileges only to those who conform. That’s the black-and-white of reality. President Obama’s Cairo Capitulation™ instilled a sense of “hope” throughout much of the Middle East. Apparently, it was only false-hope, because his inaction has since | Read More »

If the GOP doesn’t adopt and implement a “scorched earth policy” prior to the 2010 mid-terms, it may be too late to save our Republic. It will almost certainly be too late to save the GOP, as it will have lost the will to fight, along with any hope of regaining its credibility with the American electorate. Our current federal debt obligation is approximately $63.8 | Read More »

The future economic outlook, as the result of a government mandated “green” economy, is nothing short of horrific. When added to the current administration’s irresponsible fiscal policies, and coupled with a full frontal-assault against our domestic energy producers, the recipe for disaster is complete. The current economic recession will soon seem like a walk in the park compared to the fiscal nightmare which lies ahead. | Read More »

Writing in the NewMajority, Mr. Frum had this to say about Gov. Jon Huntsman’s appointment as Ambassador to China. It’s a brilliant appointment from the point of view of the political interests of Barack Obama. Gov.

Without organized voter fraud, John Kennedy would have lost Illinois to Richard Nixon, and therefore, the presidency. That was 1960… Fast-forward forty-years to an unsuccessful attempt… The media group which descended on Florida after the 2000 recount debacle, with hundreds of election lawyers from both sides in tow, had hoped to prove that President Bush was “Selected/Not Elected.”

Via scotusblog: In re: Brunner v. Ohio Republican Party The Supreme Court, acting on the case after the Circuit Justice, Justice John Paul Stevens referred the matter to the full bench, not only granted the secretary of state’s plea to stay the federal judge’s temporary restraining order, but actually vacated it, thus removing any legal obligation spelled out in that order.

President Bush has not directed the EPA to issue regulations limiting greenhouse gas emissions, and EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson has indicated the agency would seek further public comment before making a determination on the matter. The New York Times Editorial Board is all in a tizzy. The Bush administration made clear on Friday that it will do virtually nothing to regulate the greenhouse gases that | Read More »
