I do not like Thee, Governor Romney

Dan Miller — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:59:02 +0000

I do not like thee, Dr. Fell. The reasons why I cannot tell. But this I know and know full well: I do not like thee, Dr. Fell. B.S. I can say and have said why. But I will support you as the Republican candidate.

Roger L. Simon, of PJ Media, wrote here that [...]

I Guess I Will Be The One To Say It. Newt, You Are A Liar!

J. J. Jackson — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:29:11 +0000

There never was a balanced budget going back to the Republican Revolution of 1994. Just like when I hear fingernails on a chalkboard, I cringe every time Newt Gingrich opens his mouth to spout off about how he helped balance the budget during the 1990s. It is even more annoying when he claims to have done [...]

The Hollywood Connection Between Democrats and SOPA

Rachel Alexander — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:12:14 +0000

Guess which Democrats pushing SOPA received lavish amounts of money from Hollywood and the entertainment industry? Congress is supposed to represent the interests of everyone. But what happens when powerful special interests contribute heavily to lawmakers’ election campaigns? Last week Americans on the political right and left lined up to oppose SOPA, the Stop Online [...]

Stupid Politicians

Joseph Harris — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:22:40 +0000

Words such as “stupid” are looked down upon with disdain, yet what better word could be used to describe the ones who have created the sorry mess in government that filters down into every day life? Today a premium is placed on being sensitive, understanding, and tolerant. For those of us in the know, we [...]

In Praise of a Do-nothing Congress

Selwyn Duke — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:02:48 +0000

So if you complain about a do-nothing Congress, I ask, what is it exactly that you want them to "do," whom do you think they'll "do" it to, and what do you think will be done to you? Here's a question: how can we expect to have small government if we condemn Congress for not [...]

November is Coming!

Joseph Harris — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 05:55:08 +0000

Time to boot them out, not just the Democrats but the Republicans in Congress who have sold us out. As the president and politicians in DC sit there feeling smug after cramming Obamacare, stimulus bills, and other unconstitutional monstrosities down the throats of We the People, my word to them is: enjoy it while you [...]

Republicans Attempt to Change a Light Bulb

Michael Shannon — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 05:44:01 +0000

Republicans control the House, so why can't they repeal the ban on incandescent light bulbs?

I don’t know precisely how many Republicans it takes to change a light bulb, but I can tell you that 289 are evidently not enough. That’s how many Republicans are in the House and Senate, yet they can’t accomplish [...]

Congress Cheats With Insider Trading

Rachel Alexander — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 06:19:12 +0000

Why does Congress get away with insider trading while Martha Stewart goes to prison? The practice of Congress exempting itself from laws that apply to the rest of us must come to an end or vote them all out. If anything, Congress should be held to higher ethical standards, not lower than the rest of [...]

Advice for Conservatives

Bill Wavering — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:31:13 +0000

Events in New Hampshire suggest that Mitt Romney is emerging as America’s best hope of derailing the Obama march to totalitarianism Say what you will but Mitt Romney’s win in New Hampshire with 39% of the vote while Dr. Paul received 23% and Huntsman 17% gives him a commanding position going into South Carolina.

Medicare, Democrats’ “Biggest Lie of the Year”

Warren Beatty — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 16:56:28 +0000

The Republicans did not vote to end Medicare.

On Tuesday, December 20, 2011, the CBS Early Show had on Bill Adair of PolitiFact. He said that Democrats told the "biggest lie of the year," which was "the claim by many Democrats that the Republicans voted to end Medicare." CBS let Democratic sycophants issue that [...]
