In these days of super-slick media packaging it is too easy to hide the true essence of a person running for office. As the Democrats are now fond of admitting openly, you have to elect us (and pass our laws) before you know what you will get. Anyone remember the roman columns as “The One” […]

This is not the year to be pro government. That is the same as being pro screw-up or pro incompetence. Who cheers for the losers who rant about how great they are and then produce disaster after disaster? And as the economic suffering continues to expand (it is now lapping at our door step too) […]

Liberals run on silly fantasies. Fantasies about the great, all-knowing, all-wise government bureaucrat being the saint compared to the sinner corporations. The idea corporations reward and foster innovation and success while the bureaucrats reward time in should tell you all you need to know about that fantasy. Liberals believe the fantasy that government gouging of […]

Deficit spending through the bloated and lethargic federal bureaucracy never creates economic stimulus or growth. Government has and always will be a mechanism to either tamp down economic gyrations (best case) or drag down economies as they suck the life blood out of the private sector (worst case). Not enough controls and market cycles create […]

Updates Below More later as I digest all this, but Darrell Issa has released a congressional report on the Gulf oil disasrer(without the Dems who are shuddering at facing the incompetence of their ‘hope & change’ leader). It is very damning. It discusses a fraudulent hoax being played on the American people: The White House […]

Update: Reader Tarpon has some excellent observations regarding EPA rules to oil spills, which someone should have been reading in the White House months ago: Yep, Obowma should have read the EPA oil spill emergency plan — Contain the spill at the well, time is of the utmost urgency. And they further state, ‘at all […]

West Virginia Democrats are committing political suicide – so I guess I would be the last one to warn them to stop. But I must note the West Virginians are not happy with this Congress, this President or the direction of this country right now. Not happy at all. So the news the Virginia Democrat […]

While I did not agree with Senator Byrd on a lot of things, you have to admire the man for his tenacity and his understanding of the Senate rules (and his occasional twisting of them).  Mitch McConnell actually said it well of Byrd: The Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said Byrd “combined a […]

I was reading an article about President Obama’s historic level of incompetence and I ran across this line: He [Obama] is the quintessential wrong guy at the wrong time .. And I am sitting here thinking – that just about sums it all up. The author goes through a series of examples from the gulf […]

With my US Marine son heading to Afghanistan at some time in the near future, I can already see the direct benefits of McChrystal’s sacrifice to the war fighter and war effort: A military source close to Gen. David Petraeus told Fox News that one of the first things the general will do when he […]
