Conservative Politics

It's always a good idea to take these, usually government funded, studies with a copious measure of salt. But just the same, it is real nice to be vindicated.An Ohio State study found that conservatives are more likely to read opposing views, than are so-called "liberals." (a word leftists and progressives hijacked during the New Deal and then proceeded to change its meaning).It is the same conclusion reached in the book I Can’t Believe I’m Sitting Next to a Republican. Liberals are often...Read Full Story

Representative Chuck Rangel (D-NY), the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee — arguably one of the most powerful men in congress — appears to have an on-going proclivity to land in the national spot-light. More often than not though, The Honorable Charles Rangel finds the word “scandal” in the headlines that bear his name. You may remember these: tax evasion, misuse of congressional funds, use of unlicensed vehicle, refusal to pay parking fines for years, taking junkets and trips...Read Full Story

There is clearly more to politics than the economy, but when there is an elephant in the room it is hard to talk about anything else. And do we ever have an elephant in the room! With the government on a seemingly endless spending spree that began two years ago, it is helpful to pause and see what impact the government intervention has had on our economy. While fiscal results are not fully available yet (and won’t be for awhile) there are some powerful indications that the government will not...Read Full Story

First - let me be perfectly clear - the new U.S. government regulation does NOT enact an outright ban on 100 watt incandescent bulbs beginning January 1, 2012.   HOWEVER, as of January 1, 2012:It will be illegal to manufacture 100 watt incandescent bulbs in the U.S.It will be illegal to import 100 watt incandescent bulbs into the U.S.So, while there is no ban, the effect will be the same in the long run. See the article "Is There a Ban on Incandescent Light Bulbs?" to find out more, including...Read Full Story

Obama Used Cocaine Picture Obama? We heard about W’s DUI a week before the election 8 years ago.   We never heard much about Obama’s illegal coke snorting– something that is not denied by Obama, but which the NYT believes is ‘too mean’ to talk about.  If you can picture Bush partying with alcohol (liberals love to paint that picture– even though Bush hasn’t had a single drink in over a decade), but can’t picture Obama with a straw up his nose and a shit-eating grin on his face– or maybe it...Read Full Story

What a nice place, this Obamaland– at least for the sacred cows of the Democratic Party.  Union bosses have struggled for years with those darn secret ballots that allow employees to decide whether or not to sign away their rights;  it was so frustrating for the unions, not knowing which employees to to harass!  Imagine how hard it was under Bush– they had no idea which employees to call in the middle of the night with threatening messages…. they would have to call all of them!  But Obama can...Read Full Story

Nobody seems to talk about it, but the Earth hasn’t ‘warmed’ for the past ten years.  Think about it– remember all the charts about the warming planet that scientists used to show, and those crazy projections of devastation from rising sea levels?  You know why you never see or hear them any more?  Because the time for devastation has come and gone, and it didn’t happen!   Remember the pictures of collapsing glaciers?  The were always bogus–  glaciers collapse all the time, even as they grow...Read Full Story

Another week, another ‘outraged’ Obama, another North Korean nuke test, another UN ‘condemnation’.  Wow.  You tell ‘em, Obama!  I think you’re winning this one—  oh, yes, I’m sure of it.  And you are SO HOT when you talk with that real ‘angry’ voice.  You should add a bit of reverb, y’know?  Like that speech at the National Archives that you stuck in before the one Cheney had planned for weeks.  I know it didn’t quite work out– who would’ve thought that guy could think?  But this is against...Read Full Story

About pictures speaking a thousand words, this is another important picture.  While everyone has seen it, people tend to forget so quickly! We all heard the racist venom spouted by Pastor Wright–  literally talking about ‘evil white people’ using derogatory references, clumping all white people together…   If a white politician even just attended a church that wasn’t sufficiently ‘integrated’ it would be a NYT story.  If the pastor was the white equivalent of Wright, it would be over for the...Read Full Story

"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." So said C. S. Lewis. The robber barons of the past have been reincarnated and are doing their dirty work in Washington D.C. Under the guise of taking care of us, of rescuing us from a...Read Full Story
