This is excellent news, and proof Americans can pull together to stop even the liberal democrats in DC from going overboard: The Obama administration has scrapped plans to have the Census Bureau director report directly to the White House, assuaging the concerns of lawmakers. Commerce Secretary nominee Gary Locke met with key senators Wednesday […]

DJ Drummond makes an excellent point today regarding Presidents who have had to deal with inherited recessions: Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama each inherited a recession when they came to office. That’s not unusual, though – Presidents Kennedy, Ford, and Bush also inherited recessions when they arrived at the White House, and in fact Presidents […]

Some amazing videos out on the net comparing the military responses to a visit by the Commander-In-Chief. First, the jarringly tepid response by US Marines this week to Commander-in-Chief Obama (big H/T Gateway Pundit) Now, compare that with this response to President Bush: And this one (from Gateway Pundit Again): The difference in respect is stunning.

Update at the end -  While the Dems do have huge majorities in Congress, Obama and the liberal Dem leaders in Congress can still go too far and be defeated. Right now there may be a chance this could happen, because there  seems to be a mini-revolt brewing in the Democrat ranks over the Omnibus spending bill […]

That’s compared with […]

From Dick Morris: PRESIDENT Lyndon John son’s administration was known for his War on Pov erty. President Obama’s will become notable for his War on Prosperity. This meme is starting to stick in a big way in the public’s mind.

Lots of news out today about Congress starting the chafe under the liberal spending policies of Obama and the liberal congressional leaders. Top of the list is John McCain’s rightfully negative reaction to this second round of mega ear marks (the first round being found in the massive Spendulus bill just passed): If it seems […]

The news last week, which had me a bit disturbed initially, was that Taliban forces in the Tribal Areas of Pakistan had set aside their differences and joined forces: Three rival Pakistani Taliban groups have agreed to form a united front against international forces in Afghanistan in a move likely to intensify the insurgency just as thousands […]

You don’t have to be foaming at the mouth mad to be a solid conservative willing to fight. I fight the knuckleheads left and right every day. I am sick with overly simplistic rhetoric supported by fear mongering and demagoguery. For some reason conservatives have decided vapid emotion is better than rallying strategy. Up until recently […]
