Thanks to Tom White, I was able to attend the Cantor/Jindal breakfast this am! (In fact I am here – already I have been a few feet from my hero, Governor Bobby Jindal) I have gotten a solid, if blurry photo that should be in an update for this blog post. I was invited up […]

Jamie Radtke came to the public eye as a leader in the TEA Party movement with the Richmond TEA Party. Her leadership was tremendous and her drive and enthusiasm for fiscal sanity was contagious. When Radtke announced that she was running for US Senate, TEA Party Conservatives were thrilled. Jamie Radtke put her all into the […]

An editorial in the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star calls Democrat Tim Kaine out for his “head in the sand” blind following of all things Obama. Honestly, listening to Kaine’s speech you would think America had a $16 Trillion Surplus instead of debt. It seems even the mostly left leaning Lance-Star has trouble swallowing Kaine’s revisionism. As for […]

Every time I hear Barack Obama point to the George W. Bush years and claim “We tried it your way and it didn’t work” I have to shake my head. The economy didn’t crash because Bush was a staunch defender of a limited, Constitutional government. It crashed because Bush embraced the idea of “Compassionate Conservatism” or […]

A number of left wingers are now realizing that they have a problem with Barack Obama. Saturday Night Live veteran Jon Lovitz spewed this first profanity laced diatribe aimed squarely at Barack Obama’s plan to divide the country and soak the rich.

The Council has spoken, the votes have been cast, and the results are in for this week, carved eternally in the akashic records of cyberspace.

Same Failed Approach, New Spin President Obama’s speech proves one fact: He doesn’t understand how to get government out of the way of job creators. So he’s trying the same old approach that he already tried and that already failed and is just putting a new spin on it. He’s chasing the wrong rabbit. […]

No debt ceiling plan of their own. No budget for well over 800 days. No leadership from their President. No jobs. No economic growth. It seems the only thing Democrats are capable of these days is doing nothing. And killing any and every idea that comes from Republicans. And whining. A lot! See, the Republicans […]

If we do not address culture, the Debt Ceiling debates are meaningless. Debt is a symptom of our cultural meltdown. Perhaps that is an overstatement. But, if we wish to become solvent again, emphasizing cultural solutions will get us farther than emphasizing economic fixes. Without such culturist discussions we will never pay down the debt […]
