Largest Drop in Federal Tax Revenues Since Great Depression
Remember how irresponsible the Liberals said George W. Bush was for spending money on Iraq when the economy was in such bad shape, by their reckoning?
Well, he doesn’t hold a candle to Obama’s spendfest in the face of the single largest one-year drop in tax revenues since the Great Depression.
At this rate, Social Security is [...]
Religion and Politics
The Patriot Post today is carrying an important essay by Mark Alexander, entitled “Religion and Politics Don’t Mix?”
An excellent point he makes in the essay is that the Declaration of Independence asserts that our Rights (a political term) originate not from our political relationship to a State, but from our religious relationship to the Creator, [...]
ACORN Spokesman Accuses Glenn Beck Of Racism, Gets Kicked Out Of Studio
Hot Air Blog has the videos.
If it were up to me, ACORN would be outlawed, for no other reason than the fact that they hired this Mafia mouthpiece from Chicago. The guy is a horrible liar–completely unbelievable.
Then, he has the gall to tell Glenn, “You’re just afraid of Black people.” Glenn tosses the guy out [...]
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, [...]
Things Have Come Full-Circle
This is a political cartoon from the Chicago Tribune, April 21, 1934.
We are apparently pursuing the same, stupid policies that the Progressives did during the Great Depression. Is there anyone out there who believes it will end up differently?
I Told You So
Liberals Lie. They just do. I would like to think they can’t help it, but I know that isn’t true. It’s part of their standard operating procedure.
It’s really kind of sad–their positions are so out of touch with Main Street, America that the people would not choose Liberalism if given a real choice.
So, the Liberals [...]
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 [...]
America Divided: An Eternal Gulf
Reading the comments on the message boards of local and national news sites is shocking and disheartening.
I read a story on KSL’s web site dealing with the economy. The comments were a mix of conservative, liberal and moderate posts. The most troubling posts were by rabid liberals who refuse to see what is so obviously [...]
The Intolerant Left
Here are some examples of evil in action. So much for tolerance.
So far, these people have proven themselves to be irrational, violent, hypocrites who resort to vandalism and book-burning–all the things they have always claimed to hate–when they don’t get their way.
They live in a free society where they are protected by more special legislation, [...]
The New Face Of Tyranny
President-elect Barak Obama announced today that he is considering the use of Executive Order to overturn some of President Bush’s policies, specifically regarding offshore drilling and Stem Cell research. If he reinstates the prohibition on offshore drilling, we can expect to see an immediate rise in the price of oil, which will cause the price [...]
