The Republicans Won…Ho Hum.
Oh I guess its great news that the GOP won in New Jersey & Virginia. I’m personally very disappointed that the Unions succeeded in using the GOP to hurt the only true American candidate in the race in NY-23 (the outcome of which should hence forth be know as Rino’s Revenge) [thanks Newt!]. But any GOP victory rings hollow for me if I know that the winners are no more than Rock-a-fellers who...

Late word is that house Democrats just can’t help themselves and their insatiable appetite to wallow in their self ascribed moral superiority. Their latest vanity is to demand that Joe Wilson apologize on the House floor. OK. Joe should do as they request. He should take to the floor – TV cameras running - and catalog all of Obama’s lies citing page, paragraph and sentence for proof of each...
Rep. Joe Wilson – Don’t apologize for what you...
Rep. Joe Wilson’s calling out of PeBO (President Barack Obama) “You Lie” caused shock and embarrassment to virtually all attendees in last nights joint session of Congress. The embarrassment was based on two things; 1) members of Congress necessarily accepts lies form the each-other because business couldn’t be conducted if the truth or fallacy of every smarmy twisted political posture were...
TORT, PORT & SAVE
For some months during the recent and ongoing battle over the Democrats’ attempt to impose (on an unwilling America public) leftist nostrums under the guise of “Heath Care” reform [ oops – repackaged as “Health Insurance” reform but, in-fact socialized medicine] one thing has been missing from the debate – a clear and identifiable alternative. Granted the Obama White House has done its level...

An exchange on the proposed Health Care...
SmallGovTimes.com referenced articles on the FIVE FREEDOMS YOU WILL LOSE (under Obama Care); one reader concluded his comments with this:
The Times in a July 7 editorial argued “As much as 30 percent of all health-care spending in the U.S. -some $700 billion a year- may be wasted on tests and treatments that do not improve the health of the recipients,” Thus the remaining $239 billions over a...

Under the tile “Honduras Defends Its Democracy; Fidel Castro and Hillary Clinton object.” Mary Anastasia O’Grady tells the real story behind the Honduran “Military Coup”. O’Grady details how the democratically elected President Zelaya has tried to subvert the Honduran Constitution with the help of Hugo Chavez and the encouragement of other Central-, South- and...
Obama's Business Acumen (not!)
Did you notice that after resisting the repayment of TARP funds that the Obama campaign (not “administration” as there is none, just the endless Obama Campaign Against America) started boasting that it was going to accept about $68 billion in TARP repayment and that the government would be “making a profit” on the repayment - leave it to a socialist using OPM (other...

I watched “Taken” with my wife last night. The story line, if you haven’t seen this movie, goes like this;
Liam Neeson, a retired government agent, is the ex husband of Lenore who has remarried an evidently fabulously wealthy man who has in turn given his step daughter everything Neesom has been unable to. The somewhat spoiled 17 year old daughter wants to go to Europe for the summer...
Congratulations to Chris Christie… and Steve...
First we at Freedom’s Defense Fund would like to congratulate Mr. Christie on his successful campaign and wish him every success in ridding New Jersey of the mendacious plutocrat Jon Corzine. We further hope that Mr. Christie will take some inspiration from Mr. Lonegan’s vote total and understand that while Mr. Christie was able to garner the support of the GOP establishment, who vote their...

One of the key problems with the essential irrationality of modern leftism or “liberalism” is its totally illiberal attitude regarding dissent. Because the leftist ethos is predicated on a self-attributed and wholly unexamined moral superiority, liberals regard criticism not as a legitimate intellectual challenge to be engaged or a legitimate but wrongheaded difference of opinion, but...

American capitalism gone with a whimper
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds...

In a time of deep recession, the American taxpayer might assume that our government has taken care to spend its money responsibly. (All right, stop laughing, you know I’m setting a stage here.) Even when we hear about monumentally stupid outlays like the snowmaking machine in Duluth in the Porkulus wish list, we assume that the monumentally stupid spending will remain in the US. Not so, as CNS...

In tough economic times, one would expect most people and institutions to do a little belt-tightening to save money. Not Congress, although that’s hardly news in Year 1 of Porkulus. Pelosi & Co have slipped into the budget a $90 million increase in incumbency protection that has gone almost completely unnoticed — and unquestioned:

Via JWF, a tough call here for the forces of tolerance. On the one hand, he’s a Democrat and a minority and therefore presumptively possessed of Absolute Moral Authority. Attack him at your peril. On the other hand, he’s a tax cheat and an ex-crackhead. No need to impeach his credibility; there’s none left to impeach. Really, about the only thing that can be said in his favor is that, warts and...

When will Barack Obama apologize to George Bush? He spent the entire campaign impugning Bush’s handling of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, claiming that they required access to federal courts and that military detentions were not necessary. On Friday, Obama took another big step towards Bush by deciding to fight a federal court that essentially endorsed Obama’s views on the campaign trail:

Talk about NOT learning from History!
David Obey and his fellow house Democrats have, for a forth time, announced their intent to try to loose a war for the United States of America. Obey recalled with nostalgia 1969 when he first came to congress with the intent of supporting international communism’s fight to subjugate the peoples of Southeast Asia. That great success of congressional democrats, including Obey personally, and the...

For decades the American left has claimed to stand for the rule of law – particularly as it related to The Supreme Court and nominees thereto. Of course by standing for “the rule of law” they mean adherence to the opinions of liberal majorities who’s more outrages precedents include the sudden discovery of the word “Privacy” in the Constitution - which clearly meant to prohibit states from writing...

Lonegan’s flat tax is means to a political end – just as Obama’s tax plan is – they’re just opposite ends. Lonegan wants all citizens to have a stake in an effective and frugal government. Obama wants to pit tax recipients against tax payers in a divide and conquer strategy that would create a permanent Democrat Ruling Class – can you picture that - some constituencies voting for a set of...

From Todd Zirkle
In Chris Christie’s most recent lame attacks, he alleges that Steve Lonegan’s flat tax is somehow an assault on New Jersey taxpayers and job creators. Such an attack suggests that Christie is closer to Obama on matters of tax and spending issues than our original flat-taxing Republican, Steve Forbes.
Steve Lonegan has the common sense conservative chops to get the...

Chris Christie thought he had a winning formula.

Run for office on your self-woven magic carpet of publicity!
