My Response

Both Paul Ryan and Michelle Bachmann had their turns. This morning let me give my brief response to the President’s SOTU speech. First, like most Americans, I didn’t watch it. I had more important things to do, like putting kids to bed and leveling my hunter on WoW. However, I have read the prepared remarks … Continue reading

But, Will It Pass?

It’s a great idea. It just makes me sad that a resolution would be needed to constrain legislators. They are already bound by this: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and … Continue reading

He Gets It

Lieutenant Colonel Allen West, running for Congress in Florida district 22, really does get it. Watch, as he answers a marine’s question. Dealing with a threat requires understanding the threat. Is there any doubt that Colonel West understands? I didn’t think so. (h/t Rick at Wizbang) Tweet Sphere: Related Content

I Will Not Comply

John Hood has written a very compelling article at the Carolina Journal that sums up the health control legislation’s end game. In discussing the legislative maneuvering, he makes this, I believe, accurate observation. There is no conceivable way that the president or the leaders of Congress can legally enact their legislative monstrosity. Instead, they are … Continue reading

Find The Pea

The phrase that keeps popping into my head whenever I read anything about the health system takeover bill is, “how stupid do they think we are?” The rhetorical answer, sadly, is, “pretty stupid.” After laying the groundwork for a decisive vote this week on the Senate’s health-care bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested Monday that … Continue reading

Four Bells, Nancy

Admiral Farragut Pelosi has a wonderful idea, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged her colleagues to back a major overhaul of U.S. health care even if it threatens their political careers, a call to arms that underscores the issue’s massive role in this election year. Lawmakers sometimes must enact policies … Continue reading

Say NO to Obamacare

The Conservative Outpost has provided a widget to help spread the word on saying “No” to Obamacare. Barack Obama and liberals in Congress are moving quickly to pass health care “reform” that opens the door for a national, governement run health care system. And Americans must speak out now and tell Congress “NO!” as loudly … Continue reading

Sarah Palin on The ‘Cap And Tax’ Dead End

Gov. Sarah Palin has an excellent article in the Washington Post looking at the President’s “Cap And Tax” legislation. I am deeply concerned about President Obama’s cap-and-trade energy plan, and I believe it is an enormous threat to our economy. It would undermine our recovery over the short term and would inflict permanent damage. [...] … Continue reading

Living In Government Housing

Living in government housing used to be limited to military personnel (I still remember visiting my uncle and his family at Ft. Dix) and, what we used to call, “the projects”. Not anymore. I bet you thought that if you bought a house, you actually own it and can, with reasonable exceptions, do with it … Continue reading

Putnam on HR 2454

I received a response from my rep. Adam Putnam when I wrote regarding the Cap and Tax bill. He voted against it, as I expected, but one paragraph from his email was very striking. Fundamentally, the bill fails to ensure that an adequate amount of renewable or alternative energy sources are developed and deployed to … Continue reading
