What if I told you that the US Government has set up a hotline so that illegals can call in to get assistance in representation in cases where they don’t think they’re being paid a fair wage? Oh, no – you’re crazy. Our government wouldn’t think of overtly acting as an agent [...]
Much has been made as of late by the right on the fact that Obama seems to have his teleprompter in tow no matter where he goes. Pundits point out that the normally-silky-smooth rhetoric and delivery for which (apparently) Obama won the presidency devolves into a halting, stuttering mish-mash of disjointed phrases and incomplete thoughts [...]
I could do this probably at least once every day, but here is something that happened this afternoon that is an incredible black eye on US foreign policy:
Mrs. Clinton was over in Geneva today meeting with the Soviets…er, I mean Russians. As a symbol of The Admnistration’s desire to begin anew our relationship with them, she [...]
Congress just passed a $700 billion “stimulus” package less than two weeks ago.
Today, the headlines read that the House just passed a $410 billion spending bill and that Obama is preparing a $634 billion health care fund. All of this on top of Obama’s bold statement that he’ll cut the deficit in half by 2013.
How?
Well, [...]
Not my thoughts specifically, although I think they pretty much sum up my “take” on the subject. I’ll add to what Ed has stated (regarding his comment on the “empty threat” of a filibuster) by saying that this definitely opens the door for massive rights-robbing legislation, from the (un)Fairness Doctrine to elimination of the 2nd [...]
Taken from Feb 13th:
Today is the last chance to stop this. The final version of the stimulus package just passed the House with the following vote:
Yea: 246 Democrats
Nay: 183 (176 Republicans and 7 Democrats)
One Democrat voted “Present” and one Democrat plus two Republicans did not vote.
Now you will recall on Tuesday that little [...]

As they state on the website – $850 Billion, 1588 pages, and counting… somebody needs to read it!
This year I have resolved to become more politically active. I cannot stand idly by and allow our country to become more socialist than it already is. TARP and the Stimulus Package that has passed through the Senate this week do just that.
So let’s recap what has happened. The House Democrats unilaterally constructed the most [...]
“…targeted, timely, and temporary…”
Especially that last word – TEMPORARY. Conceptually, this Democrat has it right. We need to figure out how to put some weight behind his proposal (I admit I have not read it, but if the article is accurate, it’s the preferable solution, compare to Porkulus.)

Was his response to Joe the Plumber a slip-up or was it our first real look into what this man truly believes? Look, I won’t re-summarize here what this 2001 Obama interview says. Ed Morrisey of Hot Air has already performed that task much better than I ever could. But, I will add to his [...]
