I was glad to see (actually I was jealous [Lord forgive me!] that I did not blog on this first!) the NH state representative (NH has about a sixth of the population of Virginia but has 400 representatives in the lower chamber of the General Court! Even I could run for state representative in NH! […]

In 2008 the United States of America lost it’s collective mind and elected a Marxist, Socialist, Alinsky-ite for a president. It was hardly unexpected given that the press spent 8 years painting George W. Bush as the worst kind of demon imaginable. And to be sure, Bush did almost as much harm as Obama has […]

Last week, The Washington Post reported, “President Obama is prepared to veto legislation to block year-end tax hikes and spending cuts, collectively known as the ‘fiscal cliff,’ unless Republicans bow to his demand to raise tax rates for the wealthy, administration officials said. Freed from the political and economic constraints that have tied his hands in the past, […]

Today, Franklin Graham added his voice to the protest over the potential execution of the Iranian Christian, Youssef Nadarkhani on the Billy Graham website: The international community is complicit in Iran’s outrage if our leaders remain silent.

The Wall Street Journal reports today: “The prospects for President Barack Obama’s $447 billion jobs plan grew dimmer Monday as he unveiled the fine print of how it would be paid for—primarily through tax increases that Republicans said would destroy jobs, not create them. . . . Republicans in Congress . . . disputed […]

First and foremost, the plan proposed by House Speaker John Boehner was a real stinker even before the CBO came out with their analysis showing Boehner’s numbers were wrong. Instead of the promised #1.2 Trillion (over 10 years) cuts, the CBO said just over $800 Billion (or $80 Billion a year). But either way, most […]

President Obama knows. We all know. House Speaker John Boehner will cave. Oh, he will talk the talk and walk the walk right up to where he gives the other side everything they want. I have repeatedly predicted Boehner would cave, hopping I would be wrong. Today: Boehner caved. Only he wants us to believe […]

I suppose the term “honest politician” is, indeed, an oxymoron. Last Friday, we learned of a deal to reduce the 2011 budget by $38.5 Billion. While hardly the $100 Billion Conservatives were looking for, indeed expecting, and less than the $61 Billion we were told was a “pro rated” number based on the large chunk […]

The Path to Prosperity It is tempting to begin with an old cliche’ opening line like “It was the best of budgets, it was the worst of budgets,” but looking at the graphs to the left (click for a larger view), that would be an understatement. House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor and […]
