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!

The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.” – Ayn Rand When I [...]

Here’s a post from Powerline on Pelosi’s outrageous attempt to ‘claw back’ the bonuses paid to AIG employees through legislative action to tax a specific group of Americans. I’m stupefied to find that some people are defending the constitutionality of Nancy Pelosi’s discriminatory, confiscatory and retroactive tax on people who receive bonus income from companies [...]

This was sent by a friend and I though you might find it interesting – especially as she tells them what the 2nd amendment is all about.

You’ve been gone from home for a week visiting relatives, eating Aunt Nellie’s tuna and potato chip casserole, jello molds, and whatnot, and you can’t wait to grab a beer and relax on the couch. You open the door and a wave of water rushes over your feet. While you were gone, the hot water [...]

With Democrats in the majority in both houses and holding the White House, there has recently been discussion of a reimplementation of the so-called ‘Fairness Doctrine’. If you’re unfamiliar with this, it mandates that differing viewpoints be given equal time on the public radio airwaves. The theory being that since the broadcast spectrum falls under [...]

In 1913, the U.S. Congress abdicated its constitutionally ascribed responsibility to “To coin money, regulate the value thereof…” with The Federal Reserve Act, or the Glass-Owens Bill, which was passed on December 23. It is interesting to note that final vote in the House was 298yea, 60nay, 76 not voting and, more importantly, in the [...]

“The system is broken” and, paraphrasing, ‘it corrupts the people we send to Washington D.C.’. Sen. John McCain has said this, or something to this effect, literally hundreds of times in the media over the last ten years – sometimes followed by “We need meaningful campaign finance reform.” From this rhetoric spawned the [...]

If I never hear the term bipartisan with respect to the two main political parties in Washington D.C again, it will be too soon. This overused term is often accompanied by other annoying statements such as ‘working together in order to get things done’, or ‘reaching across the aisle’, or even ‘coming together to serve the [...]
