According to a recent Huffington Post poll, 87% of Americans are either illiterate or are in favor of pimping out their children as prostitutes.What in tarnation am I talking about?  I'm talking about the Huffington Post's recent article lambasting Glenn Grothman's proposed bill in the Wisconsin senate which is intended to stop money-grubbing scumball gutter trollops from cranking out children just for the sake of getting free cash handouts from Uncle Sam.  Senate Bill 507, if passed, would...Read Full Story

The wisdom of the Founding Fathers was, in my view, absolutely astonishing. They  foresaw many potential problems while setting up our Government and did everything they could to avoid them, and warn us about them.In the Preamble to The Bill of Rights, which many people are no longer taught of the existence of, they gave us their reasons for the ten Amendments making up the Bill of Rights, along with a warning. Here it is in its entirety:The Preamble to The Bill of RightsCongress of the...Read Full Story

In my last post, I warned of the three headed monster that is to be Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. These are the three people who will be running this country unchecked if Barack Obama is elected.As noted here, Obama would have you believe he is a middle of the road uniter. His past associations (like sitting on one of racist pastor Jeremiah Wright's church pews for 20 years) indicate that he is not.In the previous post, I also mentioned a number of things you can expect from an...Read Full Story

Four years ago, the media shined a much needed light on Republicans who were tied to criminal lobbyist Jack Abramoff.  Many of those Republicans were rightly bounced out of office that election year because they had chosen an unethical path and violated the public trust. Today, however, we don't seem to hear about some of the elected officials -- Dodd, Frank, et al -- who should be hog tied to the criminals involved in the failure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Heck, corporate executives...Read Full Story

What every human being understands is that “fairness” is simply a consensus at best and arbitrary and subjective at worst. Inevitably we must ask the questions, “fair according to whom?” and “fair according to what standard?” Taxes are no different. In light of the renewed “wealth redistribution” discussion going on, I think its worth taking a look back at what Obama had to say about the subject in a debate with Hillary during the Democratic primary. The point is made by the moderator that...Read Full Story

An article from ABC News, published on March 26, reinforces some important facts which the anti-Zimmerman protesters seem to ignore.  To date, this is the first story by a major media organization which presents a fair and objective point of view (read the ABC News story here).Some important points in the article include:-Witnesses report that Zimmerman was found with a bloodied and broken nose and a wound to the back of his head; both injuries were caused by Trayvon Martin when he viciously...Read Full Story

Most Trayvon Martin supporters staunchly defend the claim that George Zimmerman was heard to make "racist" remarks during the 911 call.  However, new reports indicate that NBC intentionally altered the transcript of the call in order to portray Zimmerman as a "racist", according to Yahoo! News (read the article here).Fox News was the among the first to claim that the rival network "spliced" two parts of the call together in order to make it sound as if Zimmerman said, "This guy looks like he...Read Full Story

Today, Good Morning America reports that a 13-year old eyewitness named Austin Brown has told the police that he saw Zimmerman lying on the grass, moaning and crying out for help, just moments before he shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense.  This new twist supports an earlier claim made by a friend of George Zimmerman, who claims that the voice calling out for help on the 911 recording was not the voice of 17-year old Trayvon Martin, but Zimmerman himself.

So I, of course, watched the debate last night. After it was over I was flipping through the “big three” (CNN, Foxnews, and MSNBC) to see what the reaction was from the pundits. CNN caught my attention as they announced they were going to check in with a focus group they had assembled in my own city (which is in what is generally regarded as a key “battleground” state). So Anderson Cooper sends it out to the reporter chick and she spends some time showing clips of the debate and pointing out...Read Full Story

There are a lot of people who are excited about Barack Obama. He is young and articulate and I can understand the feeling.  There is a certain hip factor to Barack Obama.  You can tell by all the young people who are enraptured by his message of hope.  Nevermind that he has never -- at any level of government -- ever paid off the kind of promises he is making in this campaign.  Just like there is a certain hip factor to Barack Obama. There is a certain hip factor to getting a tattoo. I know...Read Full Story
