No-bama

January 16, 2012

In trying to decide who should be our next President, we first have to ask if our current President deserves a second term. This should be based upon his performance in office, not on the political party to which he belongs. Does Obama deserve a second term ? Let's look at his record. I have [...]

The Tea Party Budget

December 4, 2011

Four months ago, one of the largest Tea Party groups, Freedomworks, created a Tea Party Debt Commission to address the red ink in which this country is drowning. Because our current non-leader is doing nothing but fiddling while Rome burns, I'm happy to present the results of the Tea Party's work, the Tea Party Budget. [...]

Reality Check

November 27, 2011

In reference to cutting government spending, President Obama likes to say we should use a "scalpel" instead of a "machete". Obama couldn't be more wrong. We should be using a howitzer instead of a machete on government spending. Using a scalpel just ain't gonna git her done, because we're on an unsustainable fiscal path straight [...]

All This "Austerity" Is Killing Us

October 18, 2011

"It is hard to understand politics if you are hung up on reality. Politicians leave reality to others. What matters in politics is what you can get the voters to believe, whether it bears any resemblance to reality or not". – Thomas Sowell Liberals from here to eternity are wringing their hands over the alleged [...]

The Party Of No Forces Another Possible Government Shutdown

September 24, 2011

I keep hearing the Republicans are "The Party Of No", but it's the Democrats who keep rejecting legislation passed by the Republican-led House. Earlier this year, the Democrat-led Senate rejected the House budget proposal. In August, the Senate rejected the House's Cut, Cap, And Balance plan to raise the debt limit and balance the budget. [...]

Fair Shares and Phantom Cuts

September 20, 2011

"Middle-class families shouldn't pay higher taxes than millionaires and billionaires. "That's pretty straightforward. It's hard to argue against that." – Barack Obama, on monday. Yes, it would be hard to argue against that…if it was the truth. But it's not the truth. Our President is a big fat liar. Here's AP Factcheck: President Barack Obama [...]

Politics As Usual

July 26, 2011

One thing I've learned about President Obama – when he rails against "politics as usual", as he did in his redundant primetime speech to the country last night, you can rest assured that he will engage in politics as usual, relentlessly. The President had nothing new to say on the subject of the debt limit [...]

Quotes From The Political Circus

July 21, 2011

I found the following current event quotes on The Patriot Post. Insane The New Sane: "The same politicians who spent $1.7 trillion more than they collected, in just this year alone, say the problem is that private citizens are not paying enough. … [B]ecause the political class has made the national debt so high, it [...]

Crazy Tea Partiers Want To Balance Budget

July 19, 2011

That radical right-wing lunatic fringe known as the Tea Party has led the way to the introduction of House legislation known as H.R. 2560, aka Cut, Cap, And Balance. Wait until you get a load of what these Republican wingnuts are proposing: H.R. 2560, The Cut, Cap, and Balance Act, is based on the framework [...]

The Politician

July 15, 2011

You can always tell the statesman from the politician. The politician is the one who manipulates, deceives, and spins. The politician is the person with his finger in the wind, constantly trying to gauge public opinion so he knows what to say or do, in order to win the next election. The politician is the [...]

Getting To Before Barack

July 14, 2011

As the political class bickers over the debt ceiling, I can't help but wonder – How did we get to trillion+ dollar deficits for as far as the eye can see ? How did this country get so far off track ? Could you have even imagined trillion+ dollar deficits prior to 2009 ? I [...]

Finally, A Democrat Deficit Reduction Plan

July 10, 2011

The Democrats in Congress may not be able to do their jobs and produce a budget, but they have finally been embarrassed into producing a plan to address our record deficits. All hail the Democrats ! It's about time, since the Dems control the Executive Branch and the Senate. In other words, the Dems are [...]
