You know it is incredibly politically stupid to do something 73% of the American public don’t want done: Twenty-five percent of people questioned in the poll say Congress should pass legislation similar to the bills passed by both chambers, with 48 percent saying lawmakers should work on an entirely new bill and a quarter saying […]

There are days when it seems even fate or God is sending a message to the liberals in DC to just give up on their wrongheaded approach of government run and rationed health care. Just as Al Gore’s global warming  conferences seem to be regularly plagued by blizzards, the Obamacare major events always seem to […]

Young and inexperienced. Naive and unprepared. These were legitimate concerns expressed about our young president as he marched across the country campaigning for his current job. He was promising a fantasy world of transparency, of government listening to the people,of government working for the people and rejecting power players in DC, of progress and hope. […]

The head of the EPA just destroyed the case for controlling CO2. You could see the democrats walking themselves into a checkmate as they tried to point to US government agencies as their new source of AGW and the threat to America. The EPA lead just dismissed the IPCC report as not important, since she […]

Update: Allahpundit has some choice observations on this over at Hot Air for those interested – end update The message coming from the electorate to the government these days is pretty simple: “stop screwing things up, get out of the way, let us create and have jobs”. It is a very libertarian mood as the […]

The nation has been through many tough times in its past. From the war of 1812, through the civil war and into the Great Depression and World War II, this nation has been through incredibly tough times. 9-11, the last great test of our resolve and strength, surprised even us when we emerged more united […]

I am truly thankful to all the readers, commenters and those linking to us who helped us achieve this rating. You folks made my year! BTW, we […]
