Republicans talk about lowering taxes and getting our deficits under control. In reality, they only manage half of that promise. Now Obama is jumping on the budget-hawk bandwagon saying that after we spend $1 Trillion+ on his entitlement program, we should cut domestic spending. According

For months, I have researched the information, cited the articles, and interpreted what has been occurring in the American political arena. While my readership has grown by leaps and bounds, I did not feel that I was affecting anyone in a real way. I took the last 5 days away from writing to understand how

It is no wonder we are so deep in dept. The mind-set of those that voted in the current Congress is that controlling the national debt would cause our country to default on it’s debt. From the liberal-extremist blog, DailyKOS (I have to source that rag because they didn’t bother to tell us from whom

The Governor of Texas has now said publicly what many have believed for months. In a speech in Midland, Tx, Perry stated, “This is an administration hell-bent on taking America towards a socialist country”. Well, no duh. Find more videos like this on Mywesttexas Chatte

Ok, he didn’t literally admit to weakening our currency and setting us up for record inflation, but he might as well have. In the President’s unusually short speech this morning, Obama again touted his fictitious one million jobs saved/created number, the government-sponsored GDP growth in the third quarter and that the new jobs figures that

Michael Steele has done everything he can to show that he is attempting to pull the GOP to the middle, as if it needed any help. Steele has joined other GOP leadership in courting left-leaning candidates, supporting big-tent policies and otherwise ignoring the Conservative activist movement. Most-recently, Steele has stated that white people are scared

CNN seems to feel that Bachmann is exactly the medicine the Conservative movement needs: “In many ways, Michele Bachmann is the ideal political creature of the Tea Party era. Her path to power doesn’t lie in moving up the GOP leadership ladder, but in ignoring it entirely..” With the absolutely worthless leadership that Gingrich, Steele

Government-created economic stimulus is unsustainable and does not create or save anything. It simply delays the inevitable. The ARRA (American Restitution and Redistribution Act) has done nothing to improve the actual economy, and The Globe finds more evidence: One of the largest reported jobs figures comes from Bridgewater State College, which is listed as using

Within a few days of Obama entering the White House, Tim Geithner stated that a strong dollar is in the best interest of our economy. The actions taken to date and some historical analysis of Obama’s chief economic advisor, Paul Volcker, would point at a

I spent my Saturday evening listening to live coverage of floor debate in the House of Representatives. The difference in philosophies is great and obvious. The opposition view is a request to disavow the great experiment in freedom that this country was founded upon. The

This showed up in my inbox as a recommended post. It appears to have originated from Canada Free Press.com, and appears to have come from this article. “Total Personal Staff members for other first ladies paid by taxpayers: Mamie Eisenhower : 1 paid for personally out of President’s salary Jackie Kennedy: 1 Roseline Carter: 1

Foxnews.com published an article discussing the Democratic Congressman’s knowledge of his partner’s drug possession. The controversy is really around Frank’s motivation for sponsoring the legalization of the drug that his partner was arrested for growing and possessing. Then again, why did the charges all seem to disappear? “Rep. Barney Frank admitted Friday that he was

Interpreting the latest unemployment report could make one’s head spin, but there is valuable information in it other than the tragic 10.2% unemployment rate and the fact that the economy has shed an additional 190,000 jobs in the last month. Yahoo news points at a separate survey that shows 558,000 more people were unemployed in

It is well-reported that the House Democrat plan, H.R.3962 – Pelosi-Care, has provisions that allow federal funds to be allowed to be used to pay for abortions. In section 213 of the bill, it actually explains how all government-collected premiums will be used to kill

WorldNetDaily posted that the NEA has put Alinskey in the forefront for aspiring educators. Considering the NEA is a labor union.. I suppose this is par for the course. This could certainly drive more Conservative parents to consider the non-union Charter schools to avoid overarching socialist messages in school. The National Education Association has made

Did you do a double-take on the title? Well, it’s not a typo. Just like health care reform, climate reform isn’t being stopped by Conservatives, it’s the split left causing the stall. While most lefties in Congress can talk-the-talk of curing global warming, they are

Mcdonnell, Bolling, and Cuccinelli are project by Conservative Daily News to sweep Virginia. With 25% of the returns in all three candidates are holding more than 60% of their respective votes. The Dems failed to execute, hope the GOP gets the message. Sure, it’s a second chance, get Conservative or get replaced.

A Bloomberg.com article stated that even a government-run economy can go awry when it pumps too much liquidity into the market under the guise of “stimulus”. “China’s banking regulator plans to review debt levels at some real-estate developers on concern the companies’ borrowings are fueling excessive gains in property prices..” More the concern is what

As an almost total surprise, the Institute for Supply Management’s factory index(NAPMPMI:IND) rose to its highest level in three years. The 55.7 level indicates stronger growth in manufacturing than any economists had predicted. Most were looking for between 50 and 55. The index is based on a survey of manufacturing executives. Taken by itself, this

I am sure there are one or two people out there surprised by this, but Scozzafava, the very liberal Republican candidate in the NY district 23 special election, is throwing her support behind Bill Owens, the Democrat. Considering her liberal positions on abortion, unions, and life-in-general, it should surprise no one, except perhaps Michael Steele

The government having a major stake in an American company was obviously in-conflict with the Constitution, but the United Auto Workers union (UAW) having a large stake in GM and Chrysler was an outright conflict-of-interest. Obama followers said that it would not cause any problems
