Senator Jim Bunning, courageously held a one man filibuster this week against the Reid-Obama machine against unfunded deficit spending. Bunning’s position was painted by the liberal press as being against funding extended unemployment benefits but, of course, his actual position would never correctly covered, which was as follows: fine, extend the benefits, but [...]

** I guess I misunderstood that which Beck would be addressing in the scope of his documentary, although it was interesting – especially for anyone not familiar with the antics of Che, or Stalin’s starvation of the Ukraine, it really didn’t focus at all on the progressive movement, which I’d have sworn I heard him [...]

Well it has emerged from the darkest corners of our Congress. The health care bill which will effectively shackle every citizen in the United States to the “care” of Uncle Sam (aka “Big Daddy”). Good luck reading all 1990 pages before the vote next week! Thanks to Michelle Malkin for this [...]

I saw this on moonbattery today and thought I’d post it here as well. Here’s another member of ‘The Right Wing Mob’ voicing his talking points. Have a look…
Now, this Marine vet, an obvious plant by Dick Cheney, goes off on this poor Representative in a mean, uncivil way. Blah, blah, blah… [...]

And so the spin has begun with Senator Durbin. This video shows Senator Durbin telling Congress that the health insurance companies are packing the town hall meetings with angry people to try to turn the tide against the president’s health care plan.
Take a look at You Tube there are videos from town hall meetings [...]

Mark Levin is the man! Mark captures the frustration of many Conservative Americans (most importantly me!) in this audio clip. He’s pissed, so am I, and with good reason. The Marxists in charge want to pretend that we have no Constitution and that they can do as they please. Well, they [...]

…tax breaks for trial lawyers, that is. Wow, what a surprise, the single largest lobbying group in terms of dollars, given primarily to Democrats/Marxists, are pushing legislation to grant themselves a tax benefit, as Rick Moran of American Thinker points out here.
He also points out that aside from the direct $1.4B benefit, that there [...]

This is too good not to post. This was linked through Drudgereport to newsbusters, where you can read it in its entirety. Imagine that, Bush allowed no time to read or debate the legislation!
BARACK OBAMA: …When you rush these budgets that are a foot high and nobody has any idea what’s in them [...]

Congressman John Fleming has introduced h. Res 615 which would require members who vote for the gov. run health care to forgo their federal health insurance plans and become charter members in the new system. Forcing congress to take the same single payer plan they will be requiring us to accept. I am all for [...]

Could it be that the answer to the health care crisis is just that there are too many attorneys in congress? Think about it. The percentage of congressman and senators combined who list “attorney” as their profession is somewhere around 47%. Could it be that this is why we have never seen tort reform? Why [...]

Well, finally Arlen Specter shows his true colors. As if we hadn’t seen them before. He was never a Republican in anything but name. Being challenged by a seemingly conservative and being pummeled in the polls, grasping to keep a seat in the Senate, any seat at all, he is leaving the Republicans Party. I think [...]

Apparently, Ron Paul also believes the 17th Amendment to be a bad idea. I didn’t know that until I saw this video with Judge Napalitano on EarthFrisk blog. It’s kind of lengthy, but Paul gets to the point before the halfway point. If you’ve read my 17th Amendment posts, you’ll already know [...]

I saw this article by Allahpundit over at HOTAIR. The video below accompanies the write up. Barrett’s vote for the bailout is catching up with him. Hopefully all of congress is paying attention because their votes will be catching up with them as well. Keep their feet to the fire folks!

Yesterday marked a first for me. I attended a protest. Having never been to one, I was actually nervous to see what kind of freaks would be there! I mean I did not want to be there with a bunch of kooks! Guess what?

I remind you of this quote.
“It only stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there’s service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.” – Ayn Rand
When I heard this [...]
