There is nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well prepared to meet the enemy.

Larry Elder over at RealClearPolitics writes a very nice little article retrospective of when gas prices rose under Bush, and how they are now under Obama. In his article, he mentions some comments made by Nancy Pelosi. I had tackled that one before. Just for the record, when she made the comments criticizing Bush and [...]
Per Barbara Boxer: “I’m going to put in the record … a host of quotes from our national security experts who tell us that carbon pollution leading to climate change will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm’s way,” Boxer said. “And that’s why we have [...]
A fellow had this to say, among other things: ….we had already seen two tax cuts sold on massively, easily documented false pretenses; a war launched with constant innuendo about a Saddam-Osama link that was clearly false, and with claims about WMDs that were clearly shaky from the beginning and had proved to be entirely [...]

The election of 2008 was running pretty good for John McCain for a while. He had chipped away at Obama’s lead for a while and gotten a good boost from the publicity of the national convention and his choice for vice president. Then, a couple of things seemed to totally derail his entire campaign. I [...]
Now, according to what I’m reading, Nancy Pelosi has agreed to consider an off-shore drilling proposal presented by Democrats. I’m sure she’ll tout this as a major new idea and an example of the failed economic policies of Bush. However, it’s got thorns attached. From what I’m reading, and I’ve not read the actual proposals: [...]
Apparently smarting from polls that put his Senate leadership in the single digits, Harry Reid decided to fight back starting with this letter to The Hill Blog: When our country is in crisis, Congress must be ready to take immediate action. Democrats in Congress have tried to take action again and again. We have proposed [...]
In my opinion, 9/11 was largely the responsibility of Jamie Gorelick. Jamie Gorelick is pure evil. Period. Her name figures prominently in several domestic disasters. Sure, she didn’t break the levees in New Orleans, but it was the climate of non-communication between agencies that contributed to the problems in a substantial way. So yeah, some [...]
Saudi Arabia has announced it’s increasing production by 200,000 barrels a day. There are some thoughts I have about the article. “Saudi Arabia is concerned that sustained high oil prices will eventually slacken the world’s appetite for oil, affecting the kingdom in the long run.” I wonder what gave them that idea? Could it have [...]
Two headlines today I think sum up the Democrat financial agenda very adeptly: Senate Considers Windfall Profits Tax on Big Oil And Obama: Give economy $50 billion boost Now, without necessarily going into the pros and cons, or the nuts and bolts, it’s just typical of teh Democrat bigger government policy. Rather than fixing the [...]
