“It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong”. This quote by Voltaire, a Frenchman whose real name was François-Marie Arouet, speaks to the dangers of challenging an entrenched overreaching government while her citizens gradually lose liberty. An example comes in the form of an unconstitutional mandated tax called the Affordable Care Act […]
Charlie Hebdo is, unfortunately, in the news. Radical Islamic Terrorists, objecting to the satiric content of the magazine, shot and killed the editor and eleven others. In running from the police, others were killed. Let us get this straight: the writers and cartoonists of Charlie Hebdo agitated some people. Those people then decided that they […]
The backlash against conservative House Representatives who participated in the failed coup against Speaker John Boehner began almost immediately after the vote. Congressman Daniel Webster (FL-10) and Richard Nugent (FL-11), who voted against Boehner, were removed from the powerful House Rules Committee. Webster was the leading alternative to Boehner, receiving twelve votes of the 25 […]
No, my friends, the term “second political party” is not a typo. It is not an error. It is not a misstatement. The cooperation afforded to that tall, slim fellow who lives in the White House by those who call themselves Republicans can hardly be viewed as the behavior of what one would normally be referred […]
A modest proposal to improve the economy: Many parts of America are experiencing a drought. A little more rainfall, a little more water, would boost agriculture, allowing more rice, fruits, and other crops to be harvested. Let us say an additional 1% could be harvested – that would be a gain to agriculture of over […]
Back during Thanksgiving, some retail stores decided to change their hours of operation to be open earlier… to be open on Thanksgiving Day in fact. Ah, the gnashing of teeth, the production of bile that change incurred! Those ever present do-gooders didn’t like someone having to work, or someone getting to shop for that matter. […]
As the nation prepares for the incoming 114th Congress, it is no secret that Speaker John Boehner is already less than popular among the conservative grassroots. The recent “Cromnibus” budget certainly didn’t help his standing. Strategically, it is possible that 30 conservative House members could unite and deny him the slot by refusing to vote […]
How did your children learn to walk, to talk, to feed themselves at an early age? Did you have formal lesson plans? Were you the driver, or did you simply help your child achieve her goals? Why did your child learn those things? A large part of the motive is simply emulation. You walk and […]
It was just another morning of Facebook perusing when I stumbled upon a post on a regional Tea Party group’s Facebook page which called out Speaker Boehner and encouraged Congressman elect Mark Walker to vote otherwise for Speaker. This poster was attacked by other membership and leadership. “I’m getting pretty tired of this divisive rhetoric […]
Pattie Curran is anything but shy. Whether it comes to educating others about her real life experiences with Obamacare, or as in the following video, educating Congressional staffers about the disconnect they and their boss continue to have with voters when it comes to Obama’s executive actions on immigration…there is just no stopping Pattie. During […]
