That hopey changey thing, debt ceiling edition

January 18th, 2013 | No Comments

Once again, I can agree with President Obama on something: “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from [...]

Don’t shoot, I want to grow up

Scott Ott makes another one of his brilliant observations regarding the beating death of Derrion Albert: 37 Chicago public school students killed last year. The latest, Derrion Albert, a college-bound honors student, beaten to death with a wooden board. Government operates the housing, government runs the school. Who’s accountable? I’ll go out on a limb [...]

It’s raining stupid people in DC – Eleanor Holmes Norton

July 17th, 2008 | 1 Comment

Fresh on the heals of Keith Ellison defying all logic and facts and coming to the conclusion if people had more money they wouldn’t be broke, Eleanor Holmes Norton has dropped this bit of wisdom on us as well: The District has passed new gun legislation consistent with the recent Supreme Court decision overturning the [...]

Voters in the South love our guns

A recurring theme I’ve heard pretty much this entire primary is being repeated today during Super Tuesday: I just don’t see how the South could vote for McCain (though we have before). Now, I have never bought into that logic for several very simple reasons. First of all: He obviously knows how to handle a [...]

Nancy Pelosi Condemns Rangel for dissing Mississippi

November 10th, 2006 | No Comments

The Democrats haven’t even officially taken over the government yet, but they are already tossing out anything Republican as fast as they can.  Along with that, I guess we can totally dismiss Bush’s "conservative compassionism": Its not just committees our influence within the House Democratic caucus will grow enormously, Mr. Rangel said in an interview.

The war on drugs – Shawn Bentler

October 16th, 2006 | 8 Comments

"The War on drugs" has taken a lot of flack from the liberal left of late. While most of them are more than happy to prosecute the hell out of anyone that smokes tobacco, the efforts to combat the hardest drugs has been met with a lot of resistance of late.  A lot of people [...]
