It was affectionately referred to as the “National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994“. Now, a lot of people don’t keep track of things like they should so [...]

A lot of people are speculating why Martha Coakley is having so much trouble winning in Massachusetts. A Democrat, woman, and running against a Kennedy. Doesn’t get any easier than that huh? Well, maybe it’s an image problem. This is Martha Coakley: And this is the Republican: Remember, we ARE talking about Massachusetts.

First, the obvious: Per Eric Holder, the new hate crimes bill was not intended to protect everyone equally under the law. I got a problem with that. The ONLY intent of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights is to insure everyone is protected equally by the law. For the US Attorney General to [...]

Ever read one of those posts that just puzzles you? I do that all the time. Kinda like sitting in a chair that’s about to tilt over. Sometimes it’s fun, sometimes it hurts. I was reading a post by Andrew Pavelyev in The New Majority and got that feeling. He meanders until he reaches his [...]

Today the Supreme Court ruled that a government can not summarily ban personal firearms a person chooses to keep in their house. Now, to me, I could never understand how someone could interpret the Constitution in such a way that a citizen of the United States could now bear firearms in order to protect their [...]

Barack Obama laid an egg last night ( From Hotair ): The other side can label and name-call all they want, but I trust the American people to recognize that it is not surrender to end the war in Iraq so that we can rebuild our military and go after Al Qaida’s leaders. I trust [...]

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.

Democrats chided Bush the first few years he was in office as a reckless spender. Then the economy took off and they sorta dropped it in favor of "taxing the poor and giving big tax breaks to the rich". The never really got much traction either. So, Ted Kennedy is pulling out the mother of [...]
