We TEA Party activists have much to do. We must convince a broad spectrum of the public that government spending must be drastically reduced. We are rapidly running out of other people’s money. The government support of cronyism and paternalism will stop when the money runs out, but if we put a stop to it […]
Sheila Bair, former head of the FDIC, says that along with our failure to fix and deal with the issues that caused the 2008 credit crisis, interest rate risk and the unintended consequences of a zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) are her major concerns going forward. What she’s talking about here is solvency. Meaning, in a rising interest rate environment high […]
South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint (R) announced today he is quitting the Senate. Midterm. In a couple of weeks. He is going to be the new President of the conservative Heritage Foundation.

Is it just me, or did anyone else seem to notice how the murder-suicide by that NFL player seemed to get media coverage that was… odd. The player, Jovan Belcher, reportedly shot his girlfriend and then drove to the stadium and shot himself in the parking lot. The reporting seemed to carry a sort of “What a […]

Some days I think if I see and read the word “sustainable” one more time, I’m going to go into convulsions, throw up, and pass out. The word has become so ridiculous at this point you could substitute the word “rubbish” and get the same meaning. It has to be the most used and abused word that […]
I’ve taken a lot of heat over the past several weeks for not having voted in the most recent election. Especially since most of the people I know believe that had I voted it would have been for Romney. However, even those who know I would have voted for Paul as write-in are up-in-arms that […]
