Quite simply the greatest and easiest arguments to use against the Patriot Act can be found in our very own Constitution. That “piece of paper” that it has been claimed George W. Bush said, whether that is true the more interesting item is the simple fact that the Patriot Act effectively invalidates the Constitutional Amendments Four through Eight. Read more »
In a single afternoon, if you were paying attention, you observed the possible death of American freedoms occur because of the words carbon dioxide, a naturally occurring gas required to sustain life on earth. If the Senate continues with this madness and passes the cap and trade bill, it will be the final knife in the back of our Constitution and the American way of life. Read more »
I respectfully ask that you vote “no” on the Cap and Trade Bill when it comes before your legislative body in a few days. I can assure you, Senator; your constituents will be watching how you vote with more than casual interest. We will be watching to determine how we vote when next you stand for election. Read more »
Peace through strength are words uttered by President Reagan for the ages. They were the foundation of his foreign policy against communism and “the evil empire” – the Soviet Union. Enduring words that dismantled tyrannical nations, yet those words would amount to meaningless rhetoric and vacuous platitudes if Reagan didn’t back them up with a credible threat of punishment to those nations who would threaten America and her national interests.

Israel, by existing, proves Allah to be an impotent idol whose promises are vain. That is the ultimate blasphemy; no Muslim can or will tolerate it! For this simple reason, Israel can never obtain peace while there are living Muslims on this earth. No matter what promises Obama makes to them; no matter what concessions Israel makes, there will be no peace. You can have peace or Islam, you can not have both. What is your choice? … Read more »
A government run health Insurance company would be exactly the tool needed to shutter private insurance companies in America and drive currently insured Americans into the arms of the government owned company while at the same time demonstrating the “need” for a universal healthcare system even though the “need” was created by the government itself.

Suppose a company doctored data, misrepresented study findings, replaced observations with computer simulations, and hired PR flacks to promote its new “wonder drug.” News stories, congressional hearings and subpoenas would be in overdrive. Fines and jail sentences would follow. And rightly so.
But the standards change when “climate catastrophe” is involved. Read more »
EPA’s CO2 comment period closes Tuesday, June 23, 2007. If you have not yet told them where to go with their egregious power and money grab, now is the time to do so. If CO2 regulation is not nipped in the bud, we will be penalized for everything we do; for every breath we take.
The proposed regulation is related to the Waxman-Markey bill, which will bankrupt us jointly & severally. This is a case of fabricating and exploiting an artificial crisis for political & economic exploitation. Read more »
As Americans whisper about their government these days (because they fear it. The government, I mean.). We ordinary Americans have noticed a phenomenon that seems to have escaped the notice of the liberal/socialists in that government, including the President. The black community in America has just migrated back onto a plantation. This time it is Uncle Sam’s Plantation! And the “Boss,” up in the “Big House,” is a black man! How Ironic is that?!

Obama’s use of fear to motivate Americans to do what he wants us to do is simply unprecedented in the history of American politics. It is known within the circles of the political elite as the “Politics of Fear.” No, I’m NOT kidding, Mr. and Mrs. American. You are being played for the fools Obama and the democrat/socialists believe that you are. So far they have not been wrong in their estimation of how easily Americans will react to fright.

Since the stealth heathcare “reform” that Bill and Hillary Clinton tried to foist on Americans during the 1993-94 Congress, this “crisis” has been off the radar screen of Americans who have the audacity to think they should decide whether and how much health insurance they want and to expect healthcare that is not rationed on the basis of how old they are and other factors determined by some faceless government bureaucrat.

In the bad ole days of the Soviet Union, it was ruled by the Politburo. The Politburo functioned as the central policymaking and governing body of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The body was made up of the top members of the Central Committee. In theory, it acted as the political bureau (hence Politburo) of the Central Committee, elected by them to direct the Party between the sessions of the committee and with a mandate that only covered the Party. The Politburo was responsible to, and its membership was subject to, the approval of the Central Committee. Read more »
The US News headline “Obama woos Catholics with nuanced abortion talk” sounded an alarm that I could not ignore or resist commenting about. After all, how many ways can this president insert his clever rhetoric into the Catholic arena before someone reveals the guile behind the smile?
It seems, at least according to US News, that Obama used his speech at Notre Dame to prove to the world that his allegiance to outright advocacy of abortion on demand was perhaps not as solid as one first might suspect. Read more »
As the next few days and weeks reel off the pages of the calendar, be prepared for a flurry of activity on Capital Hill as the Democrat Socialist Party pushes the Sotomayor nomination for the Supreme Court through as quickly as possible. Nothing much will change in the way The Court makes decisions now as Sotomayor is simply replacing another liberal, David Souter. However, the stage is being set for the N E X T opening on the court coming soon, I expect, much sooner than any Americans might believe. Read more »
So the big push has begun! The big push for socialized medicine in the United States. Altho, there is little funny about this boondoggle, it is sorta funny to watch the socialists in the US government, including the Obama Administration, tie themselves into knots to avoid using the words “socialized” and “medicine” in the same paragraph, let alone the same sentence. Nevertheless, that is exactly what they are proposing… socialized medicine. Read more »
Promising “change”, promising a government free of “lobbyists”, promising “transparency”, and generally promising a new dawn of enlightened government, Barack Obama and his majority in Congress arrived on January 20, 2009 and promptly began to bankrupt the nation, deprive Americans of access to its vast energy resources, and seek to impose an insane law predicated on the belief that carbon dioxide, vital to all life on Earth, was a “pollutant” that had to be reduced and, of course, heavily taxed.

The question that really troubles many of us is why the President doesn’t just present the evidence that he is a natural born American citizen and put it all to rest? It seems so simple. Yet, reports have it that the President has legal teams, all over the country, fighting all attempts by citizens to get to the bottom of what could turn out to be a constitutional crisis for the country. Some reports say that huge sums of money have been spent, already, just to stop the release of that birth certificate from the state of Hawaii. Why not release that certificate and put this whole thing to rest? Read more »
In the newspapers there is much discussion of what General Motors should do. This discussion has gone on for many years. Until now, it was a conversation carried on by serious analysts and auto industry experts. They all said the same thing: GM needed to clear out its management, dump much of its expensive, “legacy” overhead, and produce better cars. Why didn’t it do so? Read more »
Over the past few months, since President Obama took over the reins of power, I have seen a mixed bag of responses from allegedly pro-life Americans. Some argue that we should not criticize the man but understand that he honestly wants to find common ground between those who favor killing and those who oppose it. Others point to his record, and carefully document the reasons why he never met an abortion he did not like. Read more »
The US military has had the “Don ‘t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy for homosexuals in the military in place since 1993. Under the terms of that policy homosexuals could serve in the US military as long as they kept quiet about their sexual orientation and didn’t go public with it, by admitting it, or openly taking part in homosexual activity. If either occurred, homosexuals were shown the door and bade farewell from the US Military. Read more »
Who exactly is our 44th President? Barack Obama’s meteoric rise from a relative unknown State Legislator to President of the United States is the feel good story of our times. But is it really? How well do we know this man we have elected? Read more »
A short time after Obama took power, various forms of government began to define who are terrorists. in this country. According to the reports, it’s not who you think. Conservative America is the target of the reports. Now it’s clear what the overall intentions are. HR 2159 will disarm Americans the United States government considers may be a terrorist threat.

I was forwarded a piece from World Net Daily which they ranked the top police states in the world. The United States has moved is in the top thanks to the Patriot Act and technology. Remember I have been saying for many years freedom and liberty have become rhetorical words for the Fourth of July, but seem non existent during the rest of the year. That seems to be truer than ever, and I am glad to see Americans waking up to this fact. I hope it’s not too late. Read more »
So much we conservatives warned America about, has already happened and the poorly educated among us have swallowed the threats and dire warnings coming from our socialist government as they use the cover of impending disaster to move their control of the power of government over it’s citizens ever tighter and, in so doing, making it even more difficult to rescue what will be left of a free America from their clutches.

Uncle Sam wants to know where you live, not just the address, but the exact coordinates. Why would that be? Whatever their plans, our leaders believe it is worth $700 million dollars and hiring a city full of workers… 140,000 to be more precise. They are marching through our neighborhoods, taking readings at all our doors and asking if the house is a single or multi-family dwelling, all in the name of the census. This census that is a year away and has nothing to do with the job at hand. Read more »
The past 10 days brought to the fore two well-known traitors of the Republican Party; two proud enemies against America’s most sacred and enduring principles like truth, loyalty, justice, godliness and respect for the original intent of the Constitution’s framers – Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, who last week switched from being a Republican to a Democrat, and Justice David Souter, who last weekend announced his intended retirement from the Supreme Court effective at the end of this term.

What are the chances that your blog has hurt someone’s feelings or angered someone? Most of us who blog frequently see in the comments that often when our views don’t match with someone else’s views, they often let it be known in a variety of ways. Now, without even knowing you, you may be held accountable under HR1966, the Cyberbully Law if someone visits your blog or Web site, and your words cause substantial emotional distress. You may find the government knocking on your door. Read more »
There are only two examples from modern history of depressions such as this- the ’30s in America and the ’90s in Japan. Both times, the governments did stupid things. But this time, the U.S. government has outdone them all. They’ve committed $13 trillion to programs that make no sense theoretically…and have never worked when they’ve been tried. Read more »
On Wednesday the Supreme Court handed down a decision slightly expanding evidence obtained by the police that may be used against a defendant in court. With the decision in Kansas v. Ventris, the Supreme Court ruled that the government may impeach a defendant’s testimony using statements obtained during an interrogation that violated his Sixth Amendment right to counsel, even though the prosecution would be barred from using such tainted evidence as part of its case in chief.

Last week the Supreme Court handed down a decision further narrowing the limits of warrantless car searches. In a 5-4 split decision, the Court ruled that a warrantless search of a car incident to an arrest is legal provided that the police officer is within reaching distance of the vehicle, or the officers have reasonable belief that “evidence of the offense of arrest might be found in the vehicle.” Read more »
This is one of those times when I WISH I had been WRONG!!! Unfortunately, it now appears that I was right… but… I honestly thought we’d have more time. But the “ASG” (AMERICAN SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT) intends to strike while the iron is hot! By keeping the American people off kilter, rocked back on our heels with every kind of crisis they could throw at us, they have moved swiftly to trash the US Constitution, crush democracy, and enslave over 300 million Americans within a formerly free nation.

Amidst all the discussion about the use of torture since 9/11, it is rarely mentioned that the United States specifically forbids it. One can find the law pertaining to torture in the U.S. Code, Chapter 113, sections 2340 that defines it and 2340A that levies fines and terms of imprisonment.
Not torturing those who are taken prisoner, even in the course of war, is not only illegal, but speaks to the moral code that Americans internalize as they go to school, play sports, and for some like myself served our nation’s military. As a pilot I flew with the 531st TFS “ Call Sign Ramrod” during the Vietnam War and had the good fortune to never have to eject. Unfortunately, hundreds of others where not so fortunate. Read more »
Clearly the Obama administration has drawn a line in the sand when it comes to Americans who wish to focus attention on the plight of the preborn, calling abortion by its proper name, and demanding equal rights and equal protection for all, regardless of age, health, place of residence or condition of dependency. Perhaps you are among the extremists this document is discussing; to my mind this sort of extremist is an American expressing his freedom of speech in an effort to bring an end to the heinous crime of direct abortion which is, after all, an act of murder.

Obama’s third-world dictator love fest tour continues as Dear Leader attends the Summit of the Americas. Yesterday, Obama sat through speeches from Central American and South American leaders as they bashed the United States. Obama often had a smile (smirk) on his face as the insult cam flying towards him. Obama took notes. He finished the meeting with a huge smile and a handshake directed towards Daniel Ortega, who dug the deepest to insult the United States. Read more »
Because we live in an Orwellian Age of doublespeak and tyranny where perverse demagogues, with the help of the propaganda media, can manipulate the masses at will to believe virtually anything they wish them to believe, it is becoming difficult for Christians, conservatives, critical thinkers and patriots to have freedom of speech without being maligned by the government. A case in point is the thousands of tea parties that took place across America on Tax Day (April 15). Read more »
Obama attacks our free speech with his plans to regulate the internet with government controls. The internet helped promote today’s tea parties, which were formed from Obama’s willingness to create taxation without representation when he decided to spend creating a debt that millions of future of Americans had no voice in creating but are left to pay. Governor Jay Nixon of Missouri applauds and promotes this taxation without representation policy of Obama’s. It’s no wonder he wants to reduce the free exchange of ideas on the internet. Read more »
Oil producing nations such as Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, along with Venezuela, will grow rich while Americans will be faced with high costs for gasoline, motor and heating oil, and everything else that depends on oil such as asphalt or even Vaseline. Read more »
The so-called Mandatory Youth Service Bill, or GIVE ACT, is nothing more than Obama’s troops ordering your children to go into training to become good little socialist boys and girls. For those of us who got an education even in the public education system in America… before the unions took over… the very thought of a mandatory youth service act, of any kind, sends shivers up our spines. We remember, all too well, the youth movements in Germany, especially the Hitler Youth and the Brownshirts. Read more »
You know, there is something just flat-out vulgar, almost blasphemous, about using the bodies of dead heroes, who have given their lives to ensure your freedom. That includes freedom to advance your political plans, your political philosophy, and even your political crusade. It’s just wrong! In fact, few things in life are as wrong as that. Read more »
So what is the latest change you can believe in? Gordon Hutchinson reports at a blog called “The Shootist” that Obama has just disallowed the Department of Defense (DOD) from selling spent brass shell casings to manufacturers of ammunition for the civilian market. This means that these companies will now have to by new brass and produce their own shell casings, a much more expensive — and wasteful — proposition. Read more »
In the 1998 movie “Enemy of the State,” Robert Clayton Dean (Will Smith) and “Brill” (Gene Hackman) have their lives turned upside down by excessive surveillance activity from a sinister top NSA official, Thomas Reynolds (Jon Voight). Reynolds and a rogue group of NSA agents killed a congressman in a political-related murder, which was caught on tape, and for the rest of the movie they try to cover up the murder through deceit, misdirection and chaos theory – destroying evidence and intimidating witnesses, including Dean and Brill.
