What I have to say this morning will sound an awful lot like fear-mongering. As I go over the contents in my own mind I am uncomfortable and uncertain just how accurately my fears correspond to reality. So instead of making wild claims or accusations, which is customary for fear-mongering, I intend simply to put […]

Speaking on the Senate floor this morning, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell again made the case that now is the time for Congress to tackle our out-of-control federal spending. “A few weeks ago, President Obama reportedly said that America doesn’t have a spending problem. Well, he’s wrong. This is completely at odds with what independent experts tell […]

Democrats have always been strangers to the truth and huge fans of revisionist history. And nothing states that more clearly than the intellectually deficient calls for a return to the “Clinton Tax Rates” to bring prosperity back to the country. And of course, the de facto leader of the intellectually deficient is Barack Obama who used this false […]

I’m no attorney but I do know how to find and read the laws of Virginia. Various reports have stated that the signatures turned in by Newt Gingrich included at least 2,000 that were invalidated because there was no address given with the signature. If this were a Virginia Statewide office, that would be correct. […]

Most bets were on Speaker Boehner being the first to capitulate to President Obama on the debt ceiling. But it turns out Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell put out an “in case we fail” deal, signaling a huge weakness in McConnell’s resolve. McConnell essentially wants to give Obama a blank check to raise the debt […]

Obama has decided to stoop to the lowest possible low – which for him is pretty low – and begin scaring elderly Social Security recipients. He has now threatened to withhold checks from the elderly if he doesn’t get his way. This tactic was planned all along as you can tell simply by looking at […]

In light of the recent Wisconsin teachers’ debacle, I thought it prudent to examine the morality of government contracts in general—especially that legislation which includes long-term “guarantees”. The following argument seems to be most prevalent among the teachers unions (and all similar beneficiaries at every level of government): “we were promised such and such at […]

On Monday President Barack Obama released his latest budget, another financial mess that adds to the national debt while raising taxes as well. His $3.7 trillion budget fails to take government spending seriously, offering tentative cuts at best. In response, Congressman Eric Cantor offered the following statement: “President Obama says he wants to win the […]

Mark Fitzgibbons has a great post on American Thinker called ‘Compassionate’ nonsense aimed at the Tea Party that calls out George W.

This video will turn the retired folks in Nevada against Harry Reid. They will run to Sharron Angle in droves. Reid has already alienated Hispanics by ordering them to fall in line like African-Americans and vote for Democrats.
