I am considering holding a fundraiser for some folks who have gone missing... war protesters. I am pretty sure that the Bush administration must have sent some black-ops military types to take them out... because they have been mysteriously absent since Inauguration Day. I miss my daily "Nightly News" update on code pink or whatever other anti-war group is in vogue on any given night. I miss Brian Williams waxing eloquent on the sweet struggle against fascist American military Imperialism that is being nurtured by the right-wing neocons and their venomous "jackbooted" brood of "brownshirts"!
Of course... I jest. What I miss is Americans who truly believe in something. Americans who are just as angry about something when a Democrat is leading as they are when a Republican holds office.
I am tired of the fantasy narrative of vampirirc Republicans and heroic Democrats from the left. The Left is as tied to the military machine as the Right folks. I am also tired of the dime-store story of the saintly Republicans and the sleazy Democrats from the right. The Right can be as immoral as the Left folks.
How about a new story?
A story where people fight for what they believe simply because they believe it? Where our politicians can be honest because they aren't worried about job security. Where citizens protest what they truly dislike (Presidents Bush or Obama) not a "cover issue" like war or taxes. And no... I am not saying that those aren't important issues but why aren't the anti-war demonstrators as vocal today as they were yesterday.... and why weren't the anti-tax crowd as vocal in the last months of the Bush administration as they are now? Surely we are still at war... and surely they realized that the money the Bush administration was spending in those last summer months was going to come from somewhere!?!
I want to read a story where the media reports the news and doesn't make it. I want to read a story where people are honest and don't try and hide behind clever terms. I want to read a story where the spin-doctors are just bogeymen who don't actually exist.
Any writers out there with a knack for good science-fiction?
* Big Government is scary.
*John Stossel shows why "Big Government" is scary.
* Paul Krugman... ass-hat.
* Now is the time to follow Mexico's lead. If we step forward and decriminalize then legalize drugs (beginning with marijuana) the monstrous cartels of Mexico (and the rest of Latin America) will fall apart. I would also expect a real decline of need for police to protect us from gangs here in the USA as well.
* Is violence sputtering out? An interesting new study of violence throughout human history says, "Yes".

The myth of the Jackboot.
* Hypocrisy thy name is Ted Kennedy. More proof that Massachusetts is a fiefdom where the citizens choose to be serfs of the ruling (elected) class.
* Do you need proof that the Democrat Party wants to eliminate private health care? Here it is.
* Rachel Maddow once again proves to be completely ignorant of history. First of all Kennedy was assassinated by a leftist activist by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald...not a right wing militia member. She sees conspiracies and the growth of fascist right-wing militia groups every time liberals rise to power in America...but fails to notice the terrorism and fear-mongering of the radical groups of the 1960'd and 1970's. She also avoids the fact that the most visible activist groups of the last two decades have been leftist ecoterrorist organizations. While the groups that have been the most vocal and angry... have been antiwar activist and more recently out west gay rights activists. (Just ask any Mormon in California or Nevada)
Though it's not just Maddow with history issues. E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post compares American citizens who disagree with the Democrat Party's ideas of health care reform to jackbooted Nazi thugs. The liberal media in our fair nation is terrified of her own citizens... and who is it they fear for? The government. That is back-asswards. The media should be on the side of the people helping to drive fear into the heart of the Federal government.
If the government does not fear her citizens then the citizens should fear their government.

Dr. Paul
Dr. Ron Paul... is still right... about everything.
* Conservatives make big gains in recent local elections.
* It's not just in Britain that the liberals are losing... all over Europe the left is losing ground.

Unions = Destruction?
* More proof the Unions screwed us, again. The Unions are now doing more damage to the average American than the robber barons ever did. At least with the greedy businessmen in charge there was money to be made... now? With the Unions and their political hacks at the wheel, American industry and ingenuity is starving. Where once a man could make some money with a good idea and hard work... today he has to worry about how will pay of the Union bosses so he can stay in business. In markets where profit margins can be razor thin, these Union hustlers are often the difference between a profitable venture and closing up shop. Wake up America, before you find yourself out on the street praying for some work.
Great video with a rare moment of clarity from MSNBC.
* Our government is now pressing to nationalize parts of the tobacco industry! Apparently in the last election a majority of Americans decided that Hugo Chavez was moving in the right direction, and we should try some of his wealth destroying methods of governance. We look like Cuba lite. Our Soviet Russia redux. If I wasn't for more liberty for the American electorate... I might seriously consider supporting restrictions on voting to people who aren't complete morons who vote for the guy who talks good. (You know who you are...)
* Paul Krugman and nostalgianomics.
* Michael Moore is a fascist.
* The decimation of one of the world's best healthcare systems, in favor of some of the world's worst. The Democrats are planning to use their big majority to ram through this legislation. Nationalized healthcare is another "You get what you vote for", disciplining for the American people. Hopefully some Americans will learn the lessons of electing so many liberal politicians at one time... but somehow, I doubt they will.
* The Pro-Life movement is not to blame for the death of George Tiller. Bill O'Reilly shouldn't get blamed either. Conservative Christians had nothing to do with his murder either.
* The WHO is still trying to scare us with the swine flu stuff. The more fear we have the more power WHO has.
* Justice Clarence Thomas is one of the "good guys".
* Great article about the current landscape in British politics. It seems as though we may get the most center-right party in years leading Britain by the next election! Will wonders never cease.
* Police state torture tactics...used on a 72 your old grandmother. I am sure she posed a great risk to the arresting officers. (That was my attempt at sarcasm)
* Has the war on terror helped destroy our freedoms? The answer is a resounding yes... and the conservatives who supported it should be ashamed.

Young Con Anthem
The Young Conservatives Anthem... kind of a viral hit, see for yourself.
* Perhaps the Democrats will learn this one thing from the Sotomayor hearings... it's not fair to call people racist just because they disagree with you.
* Vast majority of Americans are against closing Gitmo. It appears that Emperor Cheney has defeated his apprentice Darth Obama on this issue.
* The Washington Post reports on a Pew research poll that shows that no President has received the kind of media support that President Obama has enjoyed these last few months.
* Sad but telling. The murder of death-dealer George Tiller has garnered 14x the attention in the media that the murder of US soldier William Long has. 7,000 articles for Tiller just 500 for Long...
* President Obama believes Iran's nuclear power ambitions are "legitimate".
* Defending Milton Friedman. His ideas are relentlessly attacked but his logic never falters...

Mass Murderer Murdered
Abortion 'doctor" George Tiller was assassinated while acting as an usher at his church on Sunday.
I have seen much anger and reticence around the web over the murder of this man, and as a life affirming human, I understand this. The murder of any human is something to be mourned as it is a continuing sign of our fallen, evil nature. My pain, however, ends there. What I have been lamenting here at this blog for years, is that the pro-abortion side of the life debate does not understand... to an anti-abortion, pro-life person... abortion is murder. George Tiller in my eyes and the eyes of millions of my fellow pro-lifers is akin to Dr. Josef Mengele.
I am not trying to minimize the criminality of his murder. The man who killed him deserves to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, but Dr. Tiller deserved to be prosecuted as well. No one tries to defend the Nazi "doctor's" who executed their superiors commands just because they were within the law... in fact we demand justice against the unjust law of the corrupt government.
So I ask my pro-choice friends to understand when it seems that the pro-life movement has suddenly become cold-hearted. While evil cannot be cured by evil... to us one monster has been stopped by another.
All murder must be stopped... not just murder against adults... all murder.
* More from my favorite blogger Robert Stacy McCain.
* More from Michelle Malkin.
* Torn on this. North Korea launched another missile, and war is looking more and more inevitable. My brain says pull our troops out now, and maybe conflict will be averted. If it isn't... well, that's between North and South Korea. My heart says threaten North Korea with nukes now, and maybe China will step in (finally) and conflict will be averted. Which one is right? I think I have to go with my brain on this.
* Russian newspaper PRAVDA proclaims, "American descent into Marxism happening with breathtaking speed..." Neal Boortz agrees with their assessment.
* The Obama's step out for the night on our dime. The UK's Daily Mail reports that the little date night out cost us about $70,000!
* The White House has moved to restrict criticism of the stimulus. No kidding, folks. This is an attack on your 1st Amendment rights.
* Class warfare.
* The folks at National Review Online debating "to bork or not to bork"? Here, here, and here.
* Bob Woodward has the president worried again...only this time the President's name is not Richard Milhous Nixon.
* If you ever want to travel again... you are going to need a passport.
* Mike Judge bashing the politically correct one more time...

Democrats... so Dirty!
* Yet ANOTHER DIRTY DIRTY DEMOCRAT! More here from Ed Morrissey.
* Some good questions for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. Also, from Reason.com why fans of limited government should be wary of Sotomayor. Liberal court pundit says Sotomayor is an intellectual lightweight!
* The New Yorker cheers on charter schools?
Drew Carey on the good charter schools can do.
* President Obama's crusade on private enterprise continues to drive businesses overseas.
* Jeb Bush Jr. endorses the right candidate for Senator from Florida... Marco Rubio not Charlie Crist. Mike Huckabee is doing the same...
* What President Reagan really meant to the GOP and America.
* More on the targeting of Republican owned, operated, or used car dealerships. This is starting to sound less and less crazy...and much more possible.

Stop Sotomayor!
She's not the man (or woman for that matter) for the job!
* Soon to be Justice Sotomayor?? Opposing Sotomayor is NOT anti-Hispanic. More on Sotomayor here from the venerable RS McCain. Some more from Gateway Pundit.
* Did Obama target GOP donors in Chrysler closings? Take a look at the evidence...
* Why the GOP should embrace liberty.
* The "SEXY" loss of real freedom!
* President Obama = President Wilson?
* The Economist
fumbles but Colorado shines through...
* Millionaires are on the run! This article should be the cautionary tale of the Left... if you tax the people they will leave.
* I am sure many of you will be shocked to learn that our nation's veterans are more Republican than the rest of our population at large.
* How about this for "fairness in media" from the Chicago Tribune... Cheney and Limbaugh are "far-right"... Maddow and Obama are "left-leaning"!

Waxman don't know poo!
* Henry Waxman doesn't know the finer points of his own cap-and-trade bill.
* The Heritage Foundation has assembled an article full of facts about labor unions that every American should know.
* Why was President Obama willing to release the memos that showed torture was authorized at the highest levels, but he is not willing to show the memos that offer their results? One word, my friend... P-O-L-I-T-I-C-S.
* How VP Biden ruined the Supreme Court confirmation process.
* The Bill of Federalism.
* DIRTY DEM Nancy gets a reprieve from her brethren. Follows that up by calling the CIA liars. As I continue to document here, the Republicans may not be pure as the driven snow... the Democrats are definitely the Party of DIRTY! Check out RS McCain's book here.
* The History Channel has some advertising issues.
* Great feature on North Korea uncovered, a website that attempts to reveal the horrors of what is taking place behind North Korea's wall of secrecy. More here.

No white's need apply.
Democrat hate mongers in Congress want to help out the broadcasting companies... but only the minority owned ones. My question is this... and it's simple enough... will we ever stop being a nation of racists? For most of our nation's history the hatred flowed in one direction; from white to non-white. Today it flows all kinds of ways. Is there no one who understands that any form of race (read - ethnicity) preference is racism? You can be racist and be a minority. You can be racist and be a part of the majority. Reverse racism is as insidious as traditional racism. It must all be abolished! The day must come when a man is not judged, excluded, or benefited simply because his skin has a different amount of melanin from anothers. Perhaps I am an idealist, and this kind of country will never be... but I will continue to agitate for true racial equality as long as I can speak or write... or communicate at all. The African-American community (and other minority communities as well) have suffered greatly in our history, but as the man said, "Two wrongs don't make a right." Racial preference for any reason is racism... and it is just as wrong when it happens to white people as when it happens to black.
* It's funny to see Obama vs. Cheney. They are arguing semantics, as the Obama administration continues to do exactly what Cheney wants them too! The Obama White House has not deviated an iota from the Bush White House methods of the war on terror. Obama's peeps can talk a BIG game but when it comes to substance they are just following the Bush-Cheney playbook. In fact, I would argue that VP Cheney is only defending the Bush administration from the verbal attacks of Obama and his people... not from actual political moves. Obama is Bush. Second verse, same as the first... at least on the fighting of the war on terror.
* The GOP... "stupid is as stupid does"?
* Iran has a missile capable of hitting Israel from Iran. Way to go President O!
* Moderate on sex-ed and abortion? Not so fast, my friends.
* Many DIRTY, DIRTY Dems. (And a few DIRTY, DIRTY Repugs)
* If you want health insurance for all... drink more beer.
* Press Secretary Gibbs says "closing of Gitmo was a hasty decision".
* Libertarians on "open borders".
* GOP... not dead yet?

California says "no".
* The California voters have shown their legislators what sanity looks like. The newspapers in Cali are not happy. The Governator says "the people have spoken". Will he really cut spending enough to balance the budget? This blogger thinks not.
* The Flat Tax vs. the Fair Tax. Either one is a couple of dozen steps up from what we have now!
* This is what all rich people need to do. Find the cheapest, freest state... quick!
* Legalizing then taxing sin.
* Why the government should not run a business. More from Veronique de Rugy.
* Vouchers (or school choice) and charter schools might work, but the Democrat Party won't let you have them. Why? Because the Teacher's Unions don't want them! President Obama and the Democrat Party are shills for the Teachers Unions... and the Union doesn't care a bit for your kids... the Union only cares about the Union.
* Louisiana Republicans are apparently lazy and stupid. While Louisiana Democrats are conniving and manipulative... and stupid.
* Police state blues. Yikes! How to tell if you, do indeed, live in a police state.
* Oppose hate crime legislation, NOW!
* More DIRTY, DIRTY Democrats!
* Romney the favorite in 2012?
* Joe Klein... head up ass?
* Finally... here is a video of the guy the Republican Senatorial Committee should support (over Charlie Crist). Conservatives agree.

"Real" Catholicism
* Why "real" Catholics cannot support President Obama.
I have had trouble understanding how "moderate" Catholics could support the President during the last election. What Father Jonathan makes me realize is that though they may purport to be "real" Catholics... they cannot support a pro-choice politician and support the Church (and by proxy God). In essence, these "moderate" Catholics have chosen politics before the faith of their Church.
* Soak the rich, lose the rich. Should be easy enough to understand but the government seems to need more education.
* D-Day for California's liberal economic policies.
* Chuck Schumer has written some new legislation... it's called the shareholders bill of rights. It looks to give company shareholders more power over executive compensation among other things. Here is a thought for shareholders... if you don't like how a company is run don't invest your money. If you already have, get it out and invest it somewhere else. I didn't even have to write new legislation!
* If the government wanted to fund all of it's programs it would need to raise the income tax burden to 81%! Think it's time to cut spending yet? How much debt is the USA in? Why does the deficit matter?
* More on spending, taxes and doubling the national debt.
* The Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009, would allow the Attorney General to deny the sale of firearms to known or suspected terrorists. How is this germane? Is the AG not allowed to do this already? Or is there something more insidious at work here? Is this a possible attempt to curb 2nd Amendment rights by clouding it in patriotic terms?
* Stewart Browne opines on a new strategy for liberty! Part 1 and Part 2.
* The New York Times scrapped a story proving President Obama's close ties to ACORN before the election. Stop trusting the Media.
* How to be happy? Be old, Republican, and male...

The "one" worshipped...
* The continuing saga of a pseudo-Religious Political messiah. While President Obama may never take dictatorial power, I believe that he is proof that an enigmatic person can do so... and yes, even in the United States. With followers like these kids and their parents... a person could do almost anything.
Amazing similarity to this video.... (Thanks to lewrockwell.com for both vids)
* The Obama administration is "lawless".

Sell Public Property!
* California should have done this a long time ago. Which leads me to say this; more state governments should consider selling public property to raise money. Airports, highways, and yes, even prisons.... private companies can run these better, cheaper, and more efficiently. The cherry on top? It would save the public billions of dollars in taxes.
* The fine print of the stimulus spending for states? Don't cut spending or we won't help...instead, raise taxes!
* President Obama is being hypocritical...again.
* Why do liberals hate women?
* Hypocrisy of hate speech.
* British Christians who oppose gay adoption are now officially "retarded homophobes".

Rockefeller Republicans on the outs...
Too good not to post. Jonah Goldberg build his perfect candidate... and it's me! He doesn't know it's me, but it is. Hmmm... maybe I should give him a call and see if he can get my political career kick started?
* An autopsy of liberal republicans. Interesting idea for an article. The problem is that the article makes a couple of odd mistakes. First of all Rockefeller Republicans would look much more conservative today than moderate/liberal Republicans like Specter, Snowe, and Collins. A second issues is that the writer claims Specter is "fiscally conservative and socially liberal". Specter is a social liberal to be sure...but he is also a fiscal liberal (as is Snowe and Collins), as evidenced by his vote on the bailout legislation. This "Gang of 3", have got to face facts... they are Democrats. They are social liberals which is contrary to the Republican Party platform and base. Most importantly where they are supposed to be conservative (on fiscal issues) they are not. They are fiscal moderates. Maybe they could fit into the Democrats Blue Dog caucus... but they are hardly Republicans.
* Dick Cheney speaks common sense.
* Britain's politicians are really dirty. I mean REALLY. And now they are raising taxes again...I guess those British MP's have more bills to pay.
* Nancy Pelosi is a BIG, FAT LIAR. And she might very well be in a spot of trouble.
* President Obama tells journalists explicitly that they should stress the fact that his proposed budget cuts (what cuts?) are "significant" when writing their reports. More Democrat hypocrisy on display.
* Howard Dean (ex-Chair of the Democrat National Committee) says that we have "had quite enough of capitalism..." Yikes.
* President Obama's economic ideas are really bad. So are his policies on healthcare.
* Thomas Sowell on the kind of judge President Obama wants to appoint.
* How emotions will save our economy.

Dirty Dems at it again!
* Murtha's still a fat, DIRTY pig. An no, I am not being over dramatic, this tool cannot help himself. Here's more.
* Charlie Rangel another fat, DIRTY pig, has some HUGE cojones.
* Here are the top 10 reasons why Obamanomics won't work.
* President Obama versus the DC school voucher program.
* The case against possible SCOTUS pick Sotomayor.
* Criticism of the one is strictly verboten.
* The anti-free speech police in the U.K. run rampant! Micheal Savage barred from Britain...it's amazing how quickly free-speech can be rescinded.
* The truth about the New Deal.
* And you thought it was over. House Democrats want 94.2$ Billion more. No kidding.
* Does anyone else wish that David Brooks would just shut up? Ah yes... the indomitable Robert Stacy McCain does too!

It's all about the Worldview.
Not that this will surprise anyone who has ever read my blog but... I believe the main stream media (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, major newspapers and news magazines, etc.) is in the tank for Obama. For whatever reason I think that the field of "journalism" lends itself to progressive political beliefs and I think that being in the New York-DC-Los Angeles bubble further insulates media personalities from views contrary to liberalism and keeps them from realizing that their personal opinions just might be wrong. Last week, the Center for Media and Public Affairs released a study that claimed the national media treated President Obama better in his first 50 days than it had President Bush and Bill Clinton combined during their same 50-day period of their presidencies. This study was poo-pooed by some however, as being biased. But just today the Pew Research Council has released a study that will not be so easily ignored. In their study Pew shows that President Obama has received twice the amount of positive coverage as President Bush in his first 100 days, and 50% more than President Clinton.
My personal opinion is this: most of our journalists today have been educated by educators who have forgotten that they are to educate...not indoctrinate. They receive "the right" education from "the right" school, then they enter a profession dreaming of Woodward and Bernstein but deciding to never besmirch their ideology. Their worldview (which was molded upon them by their education) is so ingrained in them that the slightest word against their "truth" is heresy. So while searching for their "Watergate" they can only study one side of the fence. On the "safe" side lay the Democrat Party and President Obama. On the side under intense scrutiny lay the Republican Party, conservatives, and anyone else who has the audacity to stand against "progressivism". (For example: just yesterday on "the Chris Matthews Show" on NBC, Matthews was speaking to Joe Klein of Time about Senator Arlen Specter when he said this; "But he(Specter) is good on healthcare!" By being "good" on healthcare Matthews was saying that since Specter is for socialized medicine he is on the right side. That's not journalism...that's op/ed.)
I don't think that journalists today purposefully miss stories that would paint Democrats as bad... I just think that when they see them, their first thought is "Can't be true". I truly believe that most journalists today are so driven by their worldview it as though they were wearing blinders to any reality that might change their thought process.
* Some more examples of the most important stories you haven't learned about our President, thanks to a deity-complex addled media.
* Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post sees a double standard.
* Is the media going to continue giving the Obama administration passes for continuing "bad" Bush policies?
* Nancy Pelosi is blocking investigations into corrupt Democrats. Have you seen it in the main stream news??
(Here's a little video to give you a visual of the problem...stand for Obama, sit for Bush)
* Robert Stacy McCain with a most insightful piece on "what the Republican Party needs..."
* Why liberalism and the courts don't mix.
* We just can't afford government-run business. They have tried before...and failed.
* Hate crime and punishment...just a ruse for more government power.
* Yet another example of government power run amok... a councilman gets arrested for opposing red light cameras.
* FDR's Social Security paradox.
* How a conservative beat Canada's censors.
* A grandmother was arrested for child porn...what does this have to do with you? A whole lot.
** Jonah Goldberg gave a great to salute to the passing of a wonderful man...who happened to be a fairly devout conservative. Mr. Jack Kemp.
"It seems to me that if the GOP needs a makeover, it could do a lot worse than embracing Kempism: A happy warrior love affair with ideas first and tactics second. Good ideas will find their tacticians. Tacticians cannot be relied upon to come up with good ideas."

Good riddance Justice Souter!
Supreme Court Justice David Souter is retiring handing President Obama his first Supreme Court appointee. With the Republican Party is such tatters it will be difficult for them to stop any of the radical options that the President will nominate. We are about to see the most liberal Supreme Court Justice in our nation's history be appointed to the bench. Souter's resignation gives the President an opportunity to nominate an ultra-liberal Justice because it is early in his administration. He has plenty of time to move back to the center for the next election, because the American electorate has tiny brains and short memories. They will have forgotten in 3 years time that President Obama had only recently appointed the most liberal judge ever to the Supreme Court. One of the worries is that, almost certainly, at least one of the nominees will be from San Fransisco's ultra-liberal 9th Circuit Court. A court that has time and again overruled the people's desires and decided that only the members of the court understand the best path for the people of the United States. The silver lining to this? Two things; first, Arlen Specter's recent switch will actually help the Republicans block liberal appointments. Second, Obama will be replacing a relatively young very liberal Supreme Court Justice. So whoever Obama chooses (if Congress does not block them) will probably not vote any differently than Souter on any major issue. All in all, this ends up as status quo...unless Republicans get lucky and Obama fumbles the hand off (as Ford, Reagan, and the first President Bush did with Stevens, Kennedy, and Souter respectively) and chooses a conservative judge. I highly doubt this outcome because Democrat appointees never seem to be as centrist as Republican appointees. The two judges appointed by Clinton stayed liberal... while Republicans have chosen a mixed bag (two liberal, one moderate, and four conservative). In fact Republicans have been our own worst enemy when it comes to Supreme Court Appointees.
* The mainstream media seems to think that Justice Souter "evolved" from a conservative to a liberal... well, aren't we lucky he wasn't like the rest of the neanderthal conservatives!
* Is the real culture war being fought over capitalism and freedom?
* Paul Krugman is a clown... and he proves it with each new article he writes.
* Obama's revenue relativism.
* Torture bad...almost always?
* Sen. Jeff Bingaman (Democrat from New Mexico), chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee says that Obama's cap and trade program will cause an increase in energy prices.
* Schoolgirls in love.
* Why "hate" crime legislation makes no sense. Even more "hate" crime nonsense.
* The end of democracy in Venezuela.
* Michelle Obama is the most popular figure in the Obama administration BUT... she is not as popular as Laura Bush!
