Tyrannical treachery continues. Nasty Nancy hasn't blinked yet (not that she ever does). One particularly nasty aspect of this disaster is that we will be taxed for 4 years before any benefits kick in. Would you pay a mortgage on a house for 4 years before you could move into it?The numbers continue to be daffy at best and as with EVERY government entitlement, the numbers scored by the CBO now

Excellent read at the StarTtribune, that echoes a theme I have been on for years. A tyranny of bureaucracy that threatens to strangle the republic. Fat cat gov't employees with cushy make work jobs who; because of their union, are absolutely untouchable, and unaccountable to any normal job performance standards. The article compares the gov't employee meltdown problem in Greece and compares it to

MSNBC socialist hack Rachel Maddow just grossly distorted Tom Tancredos call for a CIVIC Literacy test during his keynote speech at the Tea Party convention in Nashville, TN this past weekend.

I like the venue, delivering the GOP response in the VA state house. Much, much better setting than last years awkwardly staged response from LA gvrnr Bobby Jindal.It is also very telling symbolism that the GOP response is being delivered by just one of the many REPUBLICAN recipients of chairman maobamas campaign efforts.Quoting Thomas Jefferson in the VA state house. Excellent. Important

James Carville demonstrating once again the utter lack of any new political ideas on the left in this piece at the Financial Times.

SpinDaddy is getting a major kick out of the Fox News special on now that features chairman maobama when he was candidate maobama, and contrasting that with his actual record one year later.Hmmm.It seems that one year ago chairman maobama was blaming President Bush for everything, much like chairman maobama was doing earlier this week to explain why voters elected a REPUBLICAN to the "

Martha "komrade" Koakley is actually in more trouble than was previously thought. It seems that she has just been given the final blow to her senatorial bid, Chairman Maobama has gotten involved in her campaign. Wasn't that the undoing of democrats in VA and NJ ??

OK, time to wake up! There is nothing short of a communistic takeover of our government going on. Let's look at some facts:1. We have passed a stimulus package that essentially redistributes wealth throughout society. How are we going to pay for this? Higher taxes! SOMEONE HAS TO PAY FOR THIS PEOPLE.2. We have passed a cap and trade bill to redistribute energy. This one appears more complicated,

I can't remember where I heard it first, but as I mentioned in one of my previous posts, if you fail to plan, you should plan to fail. However, as we continue to see through Obama's stimulus package, that may not be the case all the time.In a recent WSJ print article (Friday, July 31, 2009) entitled Bank Bonus Tab: $33 Billion, the authors discuss several companies including banks that "...

As often as possible I pick up the Wall Street Journal because it is by far one of the most in-depth newspapers in existence (not to be confused with the USA Today).

Well, well, well. Now we have it don't we?Jacques Chirac the so called "President" of france is really Jimmy Carter in drag. In an article in the Wash Times he has cited "profound malaise" which is apparently a step up from the regular "malaise" cited by the peanut farmer cum President of near 30 years ago. Very much like the internet funny going around for a while now, that everyone has seen,

My opinion; George Wills writing has been less than compelling lately but in this piece entitled A Poverty of Thought he really comes out swinging. Read the whole thing."...at about the time Louisiana Sen.

To watch the lefts vitriolic politicization of this tragedy is breathtaking. Easily comparable in scope and significance to the damage and misery wrought by the storm itself.
