Orrin Hatch Should Retire!

June 30, 2009 | Comments Off

Senator Orrin Hatch former conservative from Utah is an embarrassment to proponents of limited government. No, he is not currently advocating for in state tuition for illegal aliens (that I know of, at least.) What he is doing is sticking the federal government where it does not belong, college football’s BCS!
Excuse me, Senator Hatch, but [...]

Attack of the Enviro-statist!

June 23, 2009 | Comments Off

Be warned! While ACORN Broadcasting Company prepares to do a prime time hard sell of Obamacare and while American citizens seem to be inundated with government action after government action, Nancy “I left my brain in San Francisco” Pelosi is going to schedule a vote on HR 2454.

What Passes For A Leader

June 22, 2009 | Comments Off

Some days the news is depressing. Some days the news is outlandish. Some days the news is funny. Every day the news about President Barack Obama leads a rational person to wonder if the “reporters” are auditioning to be replace the bumbling fool that currently attempts to be his spokesman.
At least Harry Reid and Nancy [...]

The guardian of our nation, which is systematically being converted into one large junkyard, needs to get tough… with those who oppose government rationing of medical care. At least this appears to be the opinion of Obama’s AP.

“Big Brother” Barry renewed his vows to and expressed his love for the slip and fall lawyers today as he apparently forgot that he was speaking to the AMA and not the ABA. You see, it would not be fair to the patients to cap awards in malpractice cases. No, no, no (or as Reverend [...]
