An Odd Citizen’s Search For Vanishing Freedoms

After reflecting for a while on Glen Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally I wonder what faction of American politics was helped, or perhaps harmed. It is obvious, based on the large number of participants, that the event is significant. The odd thing about it was the apparent marriage of Tea Party participants with an […]

Deep within the Health Care legislation was buried a provision to expand 1099 reporting to cover nearly all business transactions — a stealth move by congress. More stealth consisted of a government takeover of the student loan program — within the Health legislation. Within the Financial Reform bill are hidden regulations regarding racial […]

Terrorism isn’t an “Islamic thing” say Muslim spokesmen. Besides, even if the terrorists du-jour are predominantly Muslim, the non-Muslim/Western world has committed greater violence says Imam Rauf, he of the Ground Zero Mosque. And a bunch of American liberals chime in saying that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance, and […]

Ever wonder where your member of congress is during the breaks?

Here in Arizona’s District 4 we have a Congressman Pastor (who used to represent my district, but was somehow gerrymandered to another district 7 a few years ago). We never saw him or read anything about him except a few days before an election. […]

Brian Riedl published a report for the Heritage Foundation entitled: New CBO Budget Baseline Shows that Soaring Spending—Not Falling Revenues—Risks Drowning America in Debt. The title might just as well have been “The President and Congress are Killing America.” See an abstract from the report below and click the link to read the […]

Behind the scenes of the Jihaddi-Mosque controversy, hidden from view by pictures of the Sun God bathing in the Gulf of Mexico, and the catastrophe in Pakistan, behind all of this is the ongoing frenetic activity of the Sun God’s leftist wrecking crew as they take crow bars and hammers to America’s natural resource industries. […]

Once again, the Obama political regime spares no opportunity to use a crisis for its political mileage.
In an interview with PBS’s Jim Lehrer yesterday, which focused mainly on the humanitarian and political dimensions of the Pakistan floods, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke made the spontaneous claim that Pakistan’s floods and Russia’s fires were caused by global warming. […]

In an article describing the terror group Hamas’ endorsement for the ground zero mosque, the author goes on to report that:
Abdul Rauf raised eyebrows last week when he departed on a State Department-sponsored goodwill mission to the Middle East, despite concerns that the trip may be helping him with the mosque’s $100 million fund-raising goal. […]

Our president, the Sun God, proclaims that he sees nothing wrong with Muslim radicals building a mosque at the “hallowed ground” site of the Muslim 911 terror attack. He maintains that this isn’t a judgment about the wisdom of allowing them to build this particular mosque at this particular site, but just an affirmation […]

Congressman Pence takes issue with Democrat politicians who demean the Tea Party participants.

It’s Summer and I’m just back from a vacation trip to Maine, the home of Olympia Snow and Susan Collins. But I tried to think about sailing and cool breezes instead of politics, so it was very pleasant, indeed. In fact, […]

Are you sick and tired of the leftist charges of racism against the Tea Party movement? Watch this and show it to your doubting Thomas friends.

Isn’t UTube Wonderful!!!

How’s this for healthcare hope and change?

Oh SUN GOD, we worship you!

Bret Stephens in the Wall Street Journal (July 27th) reminded us of some statistics that should be kept at hand next time someone uses the U.S. experience in Vietnam as an example of an unjust or unjustified war.
From WikiLeaks to the Killing Fields

All in all, America’s withdrawal from Southeast Asia resulted in the killing of […]

I really do wish I could write more about good things. It gets tiresome railing about the destruction of our country, but too much of the news is bad.
Finally, I read an article in the Wall Street Journal (July 30, 2010, pg. A4) entitled “Obama Defends Teacher Policy.” He says he’s in favor […]

Yet more stealth legislation from the Sun God regime: (from Politico)

Deep inside the massive overhaul bill, Congress gives the federal government authority to terminate contracts with any financial firm that fails to ensure the “fair inclusion” of women and minorities, forcing every kind of company from a Wall Street giant to a mom-and-pop law office […]

House Republican Whip Eric Cantor has a clever web based campaign called You Cut. The idea is that citizens should suggest wasteful government programs then vote on the ones they consider most deserving of cutting or elimination. The winning program-cut would then be introduced as legislation and the votes of congressmen would be […]

“(CNSNews.com) – The Obama administration is backing legislation that includes regulations requiring U.S. businesses to provide to the government data about employee pay as it relates to the sex, race and national origin of employees.” They call it the “Paycheck Fairness Act.”
Along with their other oppressive new regulations on bank transactions, 1099’s for all […]

The federal government is tightening surveillance of your bank account, spending and borrowing (see: Liberty and Democrats through new financial monitoring provisions of (oddly) the health care law. Now we learn that the stimulus bill signed last year contains detailed requirements for medical record keeping as described in a CNSNews.com article “Obesity Rating for Every […]

The Washington Times in its article “Finance bill favors intersts of unions, activists” points out some of the blatent paybacks and race bias that characterize Democrat mega-legistlation (2,400 page) being blindly jammed down the country’s throats. It’s just what we need, 20 more offices of minority and women inclusion.

The bill would create more than 20 […]

No surprise here. The Sun God, without needing congressional confirmation, has used a recess appointment to name Donald Berwick, by all evidence a socialist who believes in bureaucratic rationing and redistribution of wealth, as the administrator for his new “Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services” bureaucracy.

What do you think about this guy […]

The Sun God has decreed that NASA’s primary mission should be to make Muslims feel good about their contributions (900 or so years ago) to science and engineering. See below an interview with Charles Bolden, recently appointed to head up NASA.

Routinely ridiculing President Obama and his administration has become so easy that it’s boring. […]

The big bold headline on Drudge Report today reads BIG SIS BLOCKS WEBSITES WITH ‘CONTROVERSIAL OPINIONS’. Now that’s an article that a free speech attack dog can’t resist reading.
The short article describes an internal TSA email sent out to employees describing a net-nanny system to block access to “five categories of websites that have […]

Today’s Headlines: 21 killed in Mexican gang shootout near Arizona border and Gunfire hitting City Hall prompts Texas AG to ask for more troops on border
For anyone who considers Mexican border enforcement to be a minor concern and Arizonans to be racial alarmists, the above headlines speak for themselves. We citizens of Arizona, and by […]

Americans for Tax Reform has compiled a summary of upcoming tax increases: Six Months to Go Until The Largest Tax Hikes in History(pdf) It reads like a horror novel. Income tax rates all rise, low bracket to 15%, highest bracket to 39.6%. Return of the Death Tax: 55% of estates over […]

Yet another spam email arrived today from the white house, this time from Carol Browner, the Sun God’s Energy Czarina. And right away, Mozilla tagged it as a SCAM, which of course it is.

This is another of those “campaign promise” style missives that this regime regularly uses to try and take credit for something, […]

No amount of indignation or ridicule is sufficient to describe the 2,000 page monster of a finance regulatiory bill, now called Dodd-Frank. Like the health care monster, this Demoncrat written and sponsored beast injects the government into every nook and cranney.
But why object?
* It doesn’t address the problem that is supposedly its justification, “too big […]

All of a sudden the Sun God’s chariot is losing its wheels. The gulf is a mess, and the president’s proclamation to “Stop the damn leak” is ridiculed. His decree to “Suspend offshore drilling for six months,” thus throwing thousands out of work has been challenged by a federal judge, who says it’s […]

A P.S. to the previous article describes how government paperwork is causing oil cleanup efforts to be thwarted.
BP Oil Spill: Against Gov. Jindal’s Wishes, Crude-Sucking Barges Stopped by Coast Guard describes how the Coast Guard’s bureaucracy is hindering the cleanup efforts. Hasn’t anyone in the government got the cahones to just cut through the […]

How much more clear can one be about the incompetence in government? I can’t add a thing to this:
