Socialism Inspires Utah’s First Tea Party

From my friend, David Kirkham:
Why I Organized Utah’s First Tea Party on March 6, 2009.
14 years ago the world was an exciting place–the Berlin Wall had fallen; Russia was imploding; and her satellite countries were throwing off the bonds of long, dark years of political and economic oppression. My brother and I found ourselves looking [...]

A View of Socialism’s Effects

David Kirkham is the organizer behind most of Utah’s Tea Parties. He sent this in an email today.
“At a moment like this, the last thing we can afford is four more years of the tired, worn-out, old theory that…prosperity trickles down…” –Barak Obama
Sadly, we now know President Obama meant it when he embarked on the [...]

Greens Reinstate Ban on DDT

The Wall Street Journal published this story today:
In 2006, after 25 years and 50 million preventable deaths, the World Health Organization reversed course and endorsed widespread use of the insecticide DDT to combat malaria. So much for that. Earlier this month, the U.N. agency quietly reverted to promoting less effective methods for attacking the disease. [...]

Obama’s New Socialist Auto Policies

The headline reads, Obama’s new rules will transform US auto fleet. One question–what US auto fleet? There is no US auto fleet, unless all vehicles in the US are owned by the government. With these new developments, that may not be far off.
The Obama Administration imposed new rules for the automotive industry today, set to [...]

Rethinking The 17th Amendment

The formation of a new conservative focus group, the Patrick Henry Caucus, causes me to repost this article, originally written in July of 2004. I think it is important to repost now because of the increasing interest in, and focus on, States’ Rights. For example, Montana has recently passed legislation that would bar the Federal [...]

Cheney, Limbaugh At Odds With Powell Over GOP Future

Over the weekend, Dick Cheney appeared on Face the Nation and voiced his support for Rush Limbaugh’s thoughts on the future of the GOP, over Colin Powell’s recent positions.
“If I had to choose in terms of being a Republican, I’d go with Rush Limbaugh,” Cheney said, adding that he believed Colin Powell had left the [...]

Arlen Specter Defects to Democratic Party

CNN.com reports just a few minutes ago that Arlen Specter has switched his party affiliation, and registered as a Democrat. Specter, a long-time Senator from Pennsylvania, has been criticized by Conservatives as being Republican in name only, supporting far more liberal causes than most of his Republican colleagues. Frankly, it wasn’t really a question whether, [...]

Obama’s Green Jobs Are Myth

Steven Milloy’s GreenHellBlog today has a study posted by the University of Illinois College of Law and Economics regarding Obama’s new “Green Jobs.”
It demonstrates something we already know–that Obama hasn’t got a clue about running an economy and should simply let the market work. Of course we also already know he can’t do that, for [...]

First Steps For The Fourth Reich

The House today overwhelmingly passed a bill that establishes a new commission to study the feasibility of a “mandatory service requirement for all able young people.” This is seen by some, including myself, as part of Obama’s campaign pledge to create a “civilian national security force” that would rival the military. Watch this video.

The bill [...]
