It was only yesterday that I made two statements about the pirate-hostage stand off near Somalia. First I lambasted others for jumping to conclusions and rushing to make judgements when it was prudent to let our forces determine the best way to free the hostage without killing him. I felt the calls of failure and […]

 This is just too sweet to miss. President Bush not only pushed through two large tax reductions during his tenure, he set the stage so that the Democrats would have to pay the price for undoing his work – in essence for raising taxes. I think he knew that the future held two options […]

Update: Finally, some small steps in the right direction: U.S. warships are trying to stop Somali pirates from sending reinforcements to a lifeboat where an American captain is being held hostage as the high-seas standoff off Africa’s eastern coast entered a fourth day Saturday. But sadly another step backwards: Pirates seized a U.S.-owned and Italian-flagged […]

It took over 200 years to accumulate the $9 trillion in debt that was reached under President Bush. 200 years! In the last month the US debt rose […]

This is not a time for politically myopic hopes that President Obama to fail America and her fallen heroes. Â There is simply too much at stake: April […]

Key statment: If this is any indication of who’s trying to run the show, count me out. It’s hard enough being a conservative without this kind of baggage. Make sure to follow […]

When the Chicken Little Priests of the Church of Al Gore/IPCC scream the sky is falling without CO2 Cap & Trade energy taxes, it is helpful to note that NASA’s data doesn’t support their claims. Especially now. First off, realize CO2 is only a tiny fraction of the so called IR Radiative Green House Gas […]

As expected (and predicted here) the same comprehensive immigration reform package pushed by President George Bush twice (2006 and 2007) will be pushed by President Obama later this year: In broad outlines, officials said, the Obama administration favors legislation that would bring illegal immigrants into the legal system by recognizing that they violated the law, […]

This is one reason why the GOP has lost its way – out of control nativism:  A North Texas legislator during House testimony on voter identification legislation said Asian-descent voters should adopt names that are “easier for Americans to deal with.†The comments caused the Texas Democratic Party on Wednesday to demand an apology from […]

It’s called TARP, which stands for Troubled Assets Recovery Plan. “Troubled Assets” is the euphemistic label given to real estate that was offered to people without sufficient financial capabilities to own the size home they bought due to liberal policies hoisted on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by Rep Barney Frank, Sen Chris Dodd and […]
