The chief of the Atlanta Federal Reserve said on Wednesday that the unemployment rate is actually 16%, “If one considers the people who would like a job but have stopped looking…”. Discouraged workers are one of the dirty little secrets of the Bureau of Labor

Max Baucus (D-MT), the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and member of the bi-partisan “group-of-six”, explained to the press the Chairman’s mark of his health care bill. This version has not been accepted by the Finance Committee nor the gang-of-six members and there are positive and negative sentiments being expressed from both sides of the isle.

Capitalism is the new “ism”. It is the thing we are all being told to hate, abhor, avoid, and destroy. It’s the “c-word”.  The centrist, elitist mobs are trying to show that capitalism has failed by singling-out CEOs?  What about the hundreds of thousands of small-to-medium sized business owners that are true entrepreneurs.  The liberals

I hope this gets to the parents of every one of these kids and they immediately unseat the entire school board.  There are many positive messages in the video, and every single one is tied to an Obama campaign phrase (Hope, Change, Yes we can).

Joe Conason, author and columnist for the New York Observer, plants the “R” word on Glenn Beck and  Rush Limbaugh in a recently published article entitled, “The Racist Truth About Beck and Limbaugh”.  His assertions are obviously incorrect.  Considering the recent realization by the New York Times that their content may be “left-of-center” it’s understandable

As recently as last week, congressional liberals have been saying that republicans don’t have any ideas and therefor have not put any health care legislation on the table. Well, before the August recess, a bill was introduced in the house and is certainly a GOP-sponsored

Perhaps a little alarmist, it’s probably a hoax video, but some underlying themes rate contemplation [Story Link].  The SDR as a replacement for the dollar, the huge increase in SDR reserves (1000%) [IMF Link].  I think that link is saying that the SDR will go from 21.4 to 204.1 billion between August 28th and September

Did you ever want to send an urgent message to every member of Congress, ensuring delivery to their offices on Capitol Hill and letting them know they are being watched? Is that time now? If so, a bold new program might be just what you are looking for. [Read More]

I realize that I would have to wait in a fairly long line to call Ron Paul a paranoid, old-thinking, isolationist psycho, and I’d gladly take the wait just to have the opportunity.  But, Paul has been pushing for a congressional audit of the Federal Reserve for more than two decades and he might just

There has been much capitalism-bashing going on in the media.  Clearly the anti-caps have no idea what they are against and even less of an idea of what they are for.  I don’t have a lot to add to this well-thought, well-written paper by Dr. Ronald Nash.  I just know  I’ll be looking for even

In August, we watched as sales of existing homes drop by 2.7%. Experts were expecting an increase. Due to the fact that 30% of all home sales this year were by first-time home buyers, the National Association of Realtors has begun a campaign designed to influence congress to put more taxpayer subsidies into the housing market.

Anarchists, environmental groups, and other left-wing radical groups led the way for anti-capitalism protests in Pittsburgh on Thursday. Reasons for the march were varied.  Several groups were there to enforce messages of lowering CO2 emissions.  Others were protesting the situation in Burma, the fact that

For months we have been fed several mis-truths, myths, and outright lies about health care. It is certainly worthwhile to evaluate all the individual frauds, but we may be missing the forest for the trees.

The delta smelt has taken on a vicious campaign against California food growers.  The smelt have collectively contacted their representatives and senators to let them know that if more water is not diverted into their rivers, the congresspeople will be voted out. The “Smelts for Obama” Political Action Committee has promised all of its resources

There have been myriad posts recently about how our current leadership is apologizing for us, alienating our allies and endearing our enemies. What these articles have not made clear is how many friends we are ditching and how vehemently we are befriending the violent totalitarians of our day. Just today, press secretary Robert Gibbs spent

Hot Air is reporting that it has obtained a report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (C.B.O.) that shows that Social Security is in more trouble than Obama’s Director of the Office of Management and Budget (O.M.B.), Peter Orszag,  previously reported.  The C.B.O.  and the

Members of Congress, the President, and anyone else with an opinion is still blaming the recession on greedy corporations.  This article isn’t about rehashing the debate, but… what about the greedy government elitists?  What about us? The government needs us to borrow more to feed

In an article in the Calgary Herald, Lorne Gunter reveals that leading climatologists are saying that the Earth has been cooling for a decade and will continue to for a few more.  This isn’t making news in the main-stream media and it likely won’t.  If we aren’t all scared-to-death about it, key portions of the

CNN performed a second set of polls allowing Americans to judge Obama’s performance.  The first had given the President a C+ for his first 100 days and this week they released his second 100 days poll: a C-.   Obama is expected to give himself a speech on working harder and getting better grades.

On September 18th,  the FDIC announced two more bank closures that would require funds from the insurance corporation in-order-to protect depositor’s money.  This month alone there have been ten bank failures and the month isn’t over yet.  There were fifteen closures in August and  at

Still thickly in the middle of the biggest economic catastrophe since the great depression, American policy makers are making anti-free trade decisions that are eerily similar to the protectionist moves made during the depression. The A.R.R.A. (stimulus bill), has provisions in it that only allow

In an Alisnky-style attack, liberals are attempting to ridicule, shame, and belittle critics of Obama administration policies instead of debating the actual issues. Nancy Pelosi, a liberal leader and Speaker of the House of Representatives, today issued a dire warning while speaking to reporters.  One

Liberals are going full-court press with racism. The idea of intelligent debate and discussing real issues has left the building. Conservatives must realize their current strengths and ignore these tactics. When called a racist, ignore and re-ask your question. Whatever your you asked pushed them in a corner and they threw out the race card.

September 2009 has pushed the definitions of racist to beyond the realm of logical. Joe Wilson disagreed with the President and is labelled as impolite and RACIST.

ust because someone is a Republican, does not make them conservative. It only makes them a politician. A few from New Jersey, and one from Maine are figuring that out.

I thought I would share an incredibly relevant documentary video that shows how we should rely on the government (the good fairy) when we lose our way. There is a bit of symbolism, and it is a bit dark, but the message it relays is very relevant to our struggles today.

A tourist walks into a curio shop. Looking around at the exotica, he notices a very lifelike life-sized bronze statue of a rat. It has no price tag, but is so striking he decides he must have it. He takes it to the owner: “How much for the bronze rat?” “$12 for the rat, $100 for the story,” says the owner.

Just thought I’d share an odd weather map I ranacross when checking my own weather this evening. It appears that a giant swath of grass is going to cross the mid-Atlantic tomorrow. I’m not exactly sure how to dress for that.  I don’t think it’s politically motivated, at least… I don’t think I think it’s

Politicians, union leaders, insurance companies and everyone else under the sun is telling us which bill, tactic, initiative, plan or speech on health care we should support. We are told stories and shown reports of people losing their benefits due to increasing costs. If you are financially responsible, you can turn the tide without joining a union or requiring the government to support you.

The current administration is positioning their policy initiatives as if they are intended to help the working class. Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s not about us.

They wonder why we are angry. They ask why we shout. They do not understand that they aren’t just pushing selfish, socialist crap. They do not understand that real citizens of these United States, want those United States… back. We are willing to fight for that ideal, that idea. An idea for which they have no respect. They underestimate every one of us. They underestimate each individual one of us.

Due to current government spending policies, the fastest growing deficit in history and an administration that is printing money out-of-nowhere in an attempt to keep artificial asset prices (housing bubble) inflated, there is a real possibility that we may enter a period of severe price inflation. Some respected economists, such as Mark Faber, PhD, are even concerned that hyperinflation similar to Zimbabwe’s fiscal catastrophe are not only possible, but assured.

Perhaps we need to look more-closely at the remaining 31 czars. We’re paying their salaries but, for many, there is no congressional oversight, the vetting process is apparently inadequate, they may have access to classified information, and are contributing to matters of national security. There is a reason for our system of checks and balances and the Administration’s willful disregard for our Constitution may be endangering our way of life.

With the 61% majority stake in GM and $85 Billion takeover of AIG complete, the liberal government has set its sights on the private student loan market and health care. Both initiatives will cost roughly one trillion dollars each and neither one will be passed

With health care reform, racist czars, and the war in Afghanistan taking front-stage lately, the Waxman-Markey bill (H.R. 2454) which contains cap and trade has gotten little attention.  While the bill has several promising proposals for modernizing our power infrastructure and moving us towards more sources of renewable energy, there are considerable issues with the market-based pollution controls in the bill.  This bill has the potential to create a crisis without having the potential to solve the unproven issue that it seeks to remedy.

The stimulus is a total of $792 billion that was intended to invigorate the American economy in an effort to avoid an unemployment rate over 9% – at least that’s what they told us so long ago that we’ve forgotten

Critical legislation is being drafted, reviewed, written about, praised, slammed, publicized and soon… voted upon. Some of this legislation, Health Care Reform and Cap and Trade, has brought a groundswell of criticism from conservative Americans – soon after, criticisms of the criticism by liberals. Why have conservatives suddenly become so aware, so vocal, so active?

Barack Obama’s 2008 Presidential campaign held the promise of making us safer by being friendlier. The President’s foreign policy, the “Obama Doctrine”, is naive, dangerous and non-productive.

This is a terrible attempt to present a new approach to Supreme Court evaluations of the second amendment. Sirota’s position that protecting the 2nd Amendment will destroy the 1st is preposterous.

Nikita Kruschev once said, “We can’t expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism.”  I remember hearing this for the first time in high school and thinking, “silly
