A contrast in style. Waxman makes himself an idiot. He never expresses an opinion or listens to the input. He only berates the messenger. This seems to be the standard Liberal argument to all opposition to the growth of government. It is tough to actually find [...]

The CA voters (those same voters that voted for Obama 61%/37%) have voted down tax increases by about the same margin. Good news (sorry Mr. Powell, Americans do not want more taxes).
So with such a resounding defeat where did the voters get that opinion? Unlikley from their local newpapers.

The recent Gallop Poll has brought this into the forefront.   I thought I would cover my experiences with this issue.   Many in the MSM are shocked at the poll results.   I will endeavor to explain why I have gone from the mushy middle (pro-life for myself and choice for others) to strongly [...]

Conservatives are often called callus, racist and mean.  Yet, on the whole, it is Conservatives that are the most kind, most caring and fundamentally sound individuals I have ever met.     I have been frustrated by the complete lack of understanding of the basic human nature that drives Conservatism and the inherent evil that [...]

This “Pet doors have led to the deaths of more than 100 children.”  report is some of the worst reporting I think I have ever seen.   I feel so sorry for the people that have lost loved ones but the lack of common sense and the desire to find a scape-goat is simply astounding.

Those are not my words but the words from Rep Dingell (a Democrat) that supports the concept.   Even more interesting is that he even mentions that we examples of it being tried and it simply fails.   So the answer, of course, is to do it anyway and tax on the other end as [...]

We had the DHS memo about “Right Wing Extremists“.
Next we had the memo on the “Domestic Extremism Lexicon”   which included Left-wing “extremists”, balcks, Mexicans and anti-abortion activists.
Now we have H.R. 2159
Which adds this..
The Attorney General may deny the transfer of a firearm pursuant if the Attorney General determines that the transferee is known (or appropriately [...]

The Obama administration and FEMA have decided that educating our young children about 9/11 is too controversial.    I have not head the Administrations opinions on “Heather has two mommies.”   That I am sure is commonplace and still ok, along with introductory sex education in Kindergarten and condoms in Junior High.    But 9/11.. whoa that is over the TOP!
This [...]

I will diverge from politics for a bit and talk about food.   They (the proverbial “they”) say you are what you eat.    I often wondered what that meant since I could eat anything and never gain weight.   Then I turned 30.  That taught me some lessons about food, weight gain, stomach pains and the like.   I [...]

I understand the joy about this interview from fans of Jon Stewart and Comedy Central.   For, those fans are not so worried about the facts or the truth but the entertainment value of the “information”.
In fact is was a great and honest interview from both sides.   But a few elements shifted the debate to May.  [...]
