Blame Bush?

August 24th, 2010 · Comments Off

Says American Thinker: So the following are facts, based on the government’s own figures. * Obama‘s stimulus, passed in his first month in office, will cost more than the entire Iraq War — more than $100 billion (15%) more. * Just the first two years of Obama’s stimulus cost more than the entire cost of [...]

The FairTax

August 23rd, 2010 · 3 Comments

I will support just about any candidate that supports the FairTax … that’s how much I believe in this. The current maze of taxes keep free people in slavery. You may think the current progressive income tax is a heavy burden on you and your family, but do you have any concept of the dozens [...]

The Contract From America

August 19th, 2010 · 2 Comments

The Contract From America: 1. Identify constitutionality of every new law: Require each bill to identify the specific provision of the Constitution that gives Congress the power to do what the bill does. 2. Reject emissions trading: Stop the “cap and trade” administrative approach used to control pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions [...]

The Destiny of a Free Nation

August 14th, 2010 · Comments Off

From a damn fine article by Doctor Zero, one that you should read in its entirety: The scale of the challenge facing us is formidable. Like all fearsome things, it is also exhilarating. In the blood and bile of this dying statist economy, we can see the desperate future of an indentured nation… a truth [...]

Georgia Governor

August 12th, 2010 · 4 Comments

The Primaries are finally settled, so it’s Roy Barnes versus Nathan Deal this November for Governor of Georgia. I’m not a big fan of Deal, but I have absolutely no love for Barnes. So to keep Barnes out of office I have to vote for Deal. Lesser of two evils. Hopefully Deal will show me [...]

Tax Question

July 23rd, 2010 · Comments Off

Without our current income tax, the average citizens could pay for health care, buy a home, send children to college, give to charities, invest in a business, and finance personal loans, all part of the historical concept of “The American Dream”. With our current income tax, Social Security tax, Medicare tax, sales tax, extra taxes [...]

On Georgia’s Primary Election

July 21st, 2010 · Comments Off

Roy Barnes is an Obama wannabe. He is beholden to the teacher’s unions and the “disenfranchised minorities” inside Georgia‘s urban areas (his “big ticket” legacy was getting rid of Georgia’s former “evil” state flag). He is Georgia’s version of Bill Clinton. I’m scared Barnes will side with the Washington Progressives over Georgia. A vote for [...]

NRA Now Leans Toward Endorsing Harry Reid

July 2nd, 2010 · Comments Off

Found at RedState: Multiple sources tell me the National Rifle Association is planning to endorse liberal Harry Reid against pro-gun champion Sharron Angle. Well, I thought perhaps the NRA carveout in the DISCLOSE Act might be the answer. But, there is more. It turns out, Reid secured a $61 million earmark for a gun range [...]

The NRA and the DISCLOSE Act

June 17th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Says the NRA: The National Rifle Association believes that any restrictions on the political speech of Americans are unconstitutional. In the past, through the courts and in Congress, the NRA has opposed any effort to restrict the rights of its four million members to speak and have their voices heard on behalf of gun owners [...]
