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

A lot is being made of H.R. 4279, referred to as PRO IP. Depending on who you ask, it either makes felons out of anyone who listens to music on the internet. Or, it does nothing more than create more beauracracy in DC. After reading it, I tend to side with the latter. However, it [...]
House Democrats pushed through a $50 billion Iraq war bill that would require President George W. Bush to start bringing troops home in coming weeks with a goal of ending combat by December 2008. Now, this is where it gets really silly. Bush was already bringing troops home. Confused yet? Let Nancy clarify it for [...]
During the last few years one of the main political footballs has been national security. Due to many Democrats’ strong anti-war rhetoric, the Republicans accused many Democrat candidates of being soft on security. And, the Democrats kept shooting back that they weren’t. Well, here’s what’s happening now that the Democrats are in charge of national [...]
Here’s where the congressional budget process has gone wrong the last twenty years or so for those that think Congress spends too much: Now, the problem I have here is this is a two part issue that sums all the problems in Congress right now: Spending for Veterans was lumped in with a huge budget [...]
Dennis Kucinich’s bill to impeach Dick Cheney has made its way to the Floor. A lot is being made of it in the media. Naturally. However, the realities of the situation are not nearly as exciting. It will die. Guaranteed. An impeachment process completely stifles Congress. Nancy Pelosi et al have things they want to [...]
I’m not much into mass email campaigns, but this one made sense to me and bears repeating. So, rather than sending a bunch of people not terribly interested in it, I’ll just stick it up here. Here they go again — tax-happy Democrats are running out of ways to tax you — so they are [...]
The Senate passed its version of the Clean Energy Act of 2007 last night. I’ve addressed a few of the issues of it before. However, as with most all legislation, it got kind of changed along the way. So, here’s a recap courtesy of CNN: An increase in automobile fuel economy requirements to a fleet-wide [...]
Yesterday Bush vetoed the Iraqi pullout bill. In that bill, it had emergency spending for the military as well. That was both expected politically, and I expected it for bigger reasons. Spending will be done one way or another until a proper funding bill is presented. The war won’t stop just because a few loonies [...]
Yesterday the Senate passed a bill expanding stem cell research. That could be a big deal. I’m not all that excited as a ton of this research is already being done in the private sector where the long arm of federal restrictions and red tape don’t apply. However, people like Michael J. Fox felt differently [...]
Senator Ted Kennedy has once again proven beyond a shadow of a doubt he’s never existed in the real world. Besides deciding welfare is something everyone should enjoy, at the expense of employers and taxpayers, he’s now decided to shorten the work week to 30 hours a week. In essence, S.910 provides that any employee [...]
