This Toll Tolls for You

A better solution to transportation funding is for Republicans to lead from the front and increase the gas tax and make it a percentage instead of a fixed amount. If conservatives in state and local government can’t persuade voters that paying for highways is a core function of government then we won’t ever be able to persuade voters to stop wasting money on non–core functions.

GOP Set To Steamroll Conservative Voters – AGAIN!

J.D. Longstreet | October 9, 2011 | 1 Comment

The US has reached the critical stage in its existence. I am convinced that our survival as a free people hangs on the results of the 2012 election. I also know I am being about as delicate as a bull in a china shop suggesting that conservatives leave the GOP in these months before such an important event in our history.

Darwin’s diabolical delusions

Dr. Ellis Washington | October 7, 2011 | 0 Comments

If evolution is so scientific, factual and beyond all rational argument, then why do the proponents of Darwinian evolutionary theory systematically lie about their findings, block and defame other scientists with contrarian ideas like Intelligent Design, creationism and natural law, and in the name of “academic freedom” dominate the majority of the academic journals and university professorships with a Stalinist grip?

Our children are at risk

Guest | October 5, 2011 | 0 Comments

By Bishop Harry R. Jackson, Jr.
Once again, partisan political activists are defending job-killing regulations that will harm the most vulnerable people, while providing no demonstrable environmental benefits. Unfortunately, these activists are also working hard to seduce sincere church leaders.

Are we a republic or a democracy?

Editor | October 4, 2011 | 0 Comments

John Adams captured the essence of the difference when he said, “You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe.” Nothing in our Constitution suggests that government is a grantor of rights. Instead, government is a protector of rights.

What the frack is going on here?

$What the frack is going on here?$

Oil companies have been using hydraulic fracturing for 60 years to get the most petroleum possible from grudging rock formations deep beneath the Earth. A few years ago, Mitchell Energy and others combined HF with horizontal drilling to tap into hydrocarbon-rich shale deposits that previously refused to surrender their energy riches. Countless fracking operations later, the results have been spectacular.

The EPA Gets Caught in a Big Fat Lie

Alan Caruba | October 2, 2011 | 0 Comments

The notion that the Environmental Protection Agency uses “science” to justify their regulations is false, just like most of the claims they issue on various aspects of the nation’s environment. Their favorite scam is to estimate the number of deaths they will prevent with some new draconian regulation.

Liberal fascism through the ages

Dr. Ellis Washington | October 1, 2011 | 0 Comments

One will never understand who President Obama is, the man, unless you have a rudimentary understanding of history, politics, philosophy and economics. Obama is the liberal establishment’s dream: the apotheosis and embodiment of all the fascist, atheist, anti-intellectual, nitwit liberal ideas pontificated in college lecture halls, spoken in university faculty lounges and written in books and academic journals few people have ever read.

Bev’s Excursion Into Ad Lib Territory

J.D. Longstreet | September 30, 2011 | 0 Comments

As far back as 2007 this scribe was warning that if times got rough for democrats America might see elections suspended in order to keep the dems in office. After the 2010 avalanche of votes for republicans many conservatives began to worry about the possibility that democrats in charge of the White House might, in fact, make such a move.

An Honest Discussion of Race

Thor H. Asgardson | September 29, 2011 | 0 Comments

White Americans are not concerned about a “minority backlash,” as that will have to be expected should Obama actually be forcibly removed from power by military coup. This is a distinct possibility, as the courts and system of checks and balances no longer work to the advantage of the American people that they might remove this obvious illegal alien usurper from the White House.

Gov. Perry, Welcome to Your Past

Michael R. Shannon | September 29, 2011 | 0 Comments

Recently I was watching a rerun of ‘Booknotes’ with Gertrude Himmelfarb — now a respected historian and neo–conservative, but in her youth a Trotskyite, which — for those of you suffering from recent history instruction in public schools — is a variety of Communist. When asked how she made the ideological journey from Trotsky to Reagan, it warmed my heart when explained that she was always a pretty conservative Trotskyite.]

Rick Perry’s Campaign Is In Deep Trouble

J.D. Longstreet | September 27, 2011 | 0 Comments

Mr. Perry’s stance may play well within the Hispanic community but it sure as heck does not within the conservative republican community. Perry’s slippage in the polls would indicate that it has already cost him support and I suspect, as the campaign rolls on it may become the deciding factor between Perry and Romney as the eventual Republican Candidate to face Obama in November of 2012.

Delaware’s very own Solyndra

Paul Driessen | September 27, 2011 | 0 Comments

By Paul Driessen and John Nichols
Then there is Solyndra. One would think that scandalous debacle – $535 million in taxpayer cash blown in two years, and Solyndra executives now pleading Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination – would ensure at least a modicum of sanity, honesty, transparency, accountability, and reluctance to use more taxpayer and consumer dollars to benefit special interests. Apparently not, at least in Delaware and the US Energy Department.

The Financial Advice of Experts, Then and Now

Alan Caruba | September 26, 2011 | 0 Comments

“I see nothing in the present situation that is either menacing or warrants pessimism…I have every confidence that there will be a revival of activity in the spring, and that during the coming year, the country will make steady progress.” That’s what William Mellon, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, had to say on December 31, 1929. The Great Depression would last until 1941 when the U.S. entered World War Two.

Snooping On YOU In Your Car?

J.D. Longstreet | September 23, 2011 | 0 Comments

In an age when everyone knows everything about everybody I realize I am an anachronism. But – if you want that information from me, go to a judge, and convince him to issue a warrant and THEN come ask me. Don’t expect me not to be riled when that an electronic device on my property can harvest that information even I express my desire to NOT allow access to it.
