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 [...]

Some forty-five years ago, perhaps the greatest American Patriot of our time summed up the choice that lay before the people in the 1964 Presidential race. While stumping for the Goldwater campaign, Reagan described the magnitude of the decision as follows:
If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is [...]

The Liberty Bunker is one year old today. I would have forgotten about the anniversary had it not been for the fact that I was getting pinged by the web hosting company for renewal. It was a little surprising because with everything that has happened in the last year, it seemed like a [...]

I’ve seen a number of articles addressing the lessons to taken, by both Republicans and Democrats, from Scott Brown’s stunning upset victory over Martha Coakley in the bluest of blue states, Massachusetts. Most are along the lines of ‘The American People reject Obama care”, or “Obama needs to move to the center to salvage [...]

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… [...]

A couple of videos lifted from moonbattery this morning. 34 Czars appointed by Obama by the Congressman’s count to date, and no Constitutional basis or authorization for a single one. The term Czar, is Russian and derived from the word Caesar which basically means emperor. I never liked the term, it has [...]

Why even have a Constitution if it is to be ignored in favor of personal preference?

B. Hussein Obama spoke at the Notre Dame commencement ceremony on Saturday, where he was granted an honorary degree- not sure in what discipline, but I’m guessing megalomania. ASU, as you may have heard, did not grant Obama an honorary degree when he spoke there. The official line was that the school said [...]

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 [...]

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 that [...]

George Will wrote a column in the Washington Post, within which he called on Senator Feingold to call for the repeal of the amendment, rather than a modification for situations in which a replacement Senator must be chosen by a Govenor, as was the case in the recent Blago debacle. You can read his comments [...]

I’m not kidding. You can read the proposed bill here. I saw something about this on Glenn Beck’s show and found a few blog references on it. Apparently, law makers in Connecticut believe themselves to have sufficient authority to violate the 1st Amendment and take control of the finances of all Catholic Diocese within [...]
