Coulter on Biden

Monday, February 15th, 2010 under Domestic, Politics

I am not a huge fan of Ann Coulter. She is usually funny but rarely truly insightful and seems to be more in the entertainment business than the serious punditry business.

That said, however, it is VERY hard to argue with this spot-on description of Joe Biden:

How long are we going to pretend that Joe Biden is not just some drunken Irishman embarrassing Obama?

Is Harry Reid the Dumbest Man in America?

Monday, February 15th, 2010 under Domestic, Politics, Taxes & Economy

You decide.

Why do NV voters insist on sending this idiot to DC? Why does the Senate make him Majority Leader?

Stick with me for a sec

Monday, February 15th, 2010 under Domestic, Politics

Yes, this is a post about Obama’s eligibility to serve.

I’ve never been a conspiracy theorist. Oswald acted alone, there are no UFOs in Roswell.

There are lots of arguments and lots of nuts on both sides of this issue. But for me, these questions become louder every day.

Think about the following - just this, and this alone:

Obama is at historic lows in the polls right now (Rasmussen has him at -15% strongly approve v. strongly disapprove); he couldn’t even get his own agenda through his own Congress; he is being hammered by all of the Right and a huge portion of[…]

Limited Government and Big Government

Friday, February 12th, 2010 under Domestic, Politics

The column linked here is the very best concise summary I have ever read on governing. There are two types. Americans, desiring liberty and individual freedom, left the statist big-government type behind in Europe and created a nation of limited government based upon individual rights and liberties. Those not wanting freedom, but wanting power, and those content with others ruling over them – stayed in big-government Europe.

Now Democrats demand that the US no longer be a nation of freedom and liberty and individual achievement, but a big government cesspool of elite corruption, stealing the futures of all who vote for them,[…]

The Dems Next Step in Totalitarianism

Thursday, February 11th, 2010 under Domestic, Politics

In the event you remain unconvinced of the totalitarian nature of the current iteration of the Democrat Party, this.

What is it? Obama wanting to track all of us via our cell phones.

“[Americans enjoy] no reasonable expectation of privacy.” — Obama

Obama: Americans’ 4th Amendment protections (warrantless search) are not violated when the phone company tells the feds where we are.

Really?

And during Patriot Act discussion, where did the Dems sit?

Front row center whining and screaming and having a tantrum when all the adults wanted to do was track TERRORISTS on a specific watch list.

And now they want to track us ALL…. And this[…]

Getting to a socialist USA is easier than you think…

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 under Domestic, Politics, Taxes & Economy

Since about 20 JAN 2009, and increasingly so since the introduction of any of the various “healthcare” plans by Congress, chatter has increased on the Right about turning America socialist. The general argument seems based on the idea that turning America into a socialist state requires some massive legislation about which we the people may complain, and which may or may not be passed, but which Tea Partiers and/or Sen. Brown may be in a position to stop.

It isn’t that hard, and people are deluding themselves when they think so.

All Obama and the Democrats need to do to force the[…]

Obama v. Obama on Healthcare

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 under Domestic, Healthcare

From the WSJ today, Best Of The Web:

“The plan I’m announcing tonight would meet three basic goals. It will provide more security and stability to those who have health insurance. It will provide insurance for those who don’t. And it will slow the growth of health care costs for our families, our businesses, and our government. . . . Now, add it all up, and the plan I’m proposing will cost around $900 billion over 10 years. . . . Most of these costs will be paid for with money already being spent–but spent badly–in the existing health-care system. The plan will not add[…]

America, China and the US Debt

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Politics, Taxes & Economy, The Rest of the World

So …. China has a few trillion of our debt. It’s becoming (has become?) a national security problem.

Deadbeats in the US are voting en-mass for Democrats, who now pass social welfare and tax & spend policies that ensure a permanent underclass hold on our national government.

National Democrats want to remake the nation in the image of California - utterly bankrupt and failed due to decades of Demo misrule. Just like the national future is looking darker the longer Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Frank, Schumer, Rangel…. stay in power…

Here’s a thought: Recover that $2T in debt China owns by…. selling California to[…]

Interactive Recession Map - and How Congress Will Make it Worse

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 under Domestic, Politics, Taxes & Economy

Here is a startling interactive map, by county, of unemployment in the US as it entered the current recession. It’s based on Dept of Labor figures, starting in Jan 2007 and going through November 2009. It takes only a few seconds to watch.

“Sobering” doesn’t quite get the feeling across after watching it.

The only responses I can think of fall along the lines of OMG, Atlas Shrugged, and the lights are going out.

Once you have viewed this, go read this Reuters story (Reuters’ pulled it down after Obama whined to them, but it’s still up in several places on the web; this link[…]
