Why does government exist? It sounds like a silly question in this day and age of all-pervasive government. But really think about it for a bit. Why? The Declaration of Independence says we are all endowed by our Creator with the rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness (aka the pursuit of property or material security). In a free society, the people ALLOW a government to exist

So today is the day many of us have been waiting for nearly four years. I could go on with useless predictions about how this isn't even going to be close and that Romney is going to win not only Virginia and North Carolina, but also Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, but why should I? Predictions, just like polls mean nothing, and the actual vote is everything, and we'll know all we need to know

It's been a week where the Bush-wing Republicans have been speaking out once again for the need to compromise and how the "new" Republican party couldn't nominate people like Ronald Reagan or George H.W. Bush. I speak primarily of course, of Colin Powell and Jeb Bush and their thinly veiled disparagement of us Tea Party patriots. Let us take a brief history lesson, shall we? In 2006,

There's a saying that if you don't believe in something you'll fall for anything. As religion in the West declines, more and more people are left with nothing to believe in larger than themselves. This leaves a large void in life. And the need to fill that void can have disastrous results as a person searches for something, anything, perhaps not even knowing what s/he is doing. Trust me as I

Everybody is talking about Gov. Walkers triumph over the public sector unions yesterday. Some articles are even telling the truth. This isn't about what it means to the politicians and the 2012 Presidential election. It was about us, the citizens, and a victory for tax payers and for liberty in general. The tyranny of forced unionism in states is on the ropes. With Indiana becoming a right to

...don't let the door hit you on the rear-end on the way out. I just wanted to write a quick thank-you to the voters of Indiana for removing Lugar and replacing him on the November ballot with an actual conservative. Every right-thinking person in the Senate added is more ammunition for shaking up the failed Republican leadership and restoring sanity to the federal government.

So Obama is out there again on these tax "subsidies" for oil companies. And it's only a matter of time before we hear about those evil "speculators" again. Well let's deal with the first one first, shall we?It's already been shown that the big oil companies like Exxon-Mobil do not receive these so-called "subsidies" anymore. And they haven't for decades. A former Democrat Congressman is on

In at least one very important statement, the swing vote of the Nine said "[the individual mandate]changes the relationship of the federal government to the individual in a fundamental way."Perhaps there is some hope Justice Kennedy has a sense of freedom and liberty after all.

The obsession over national polls for President needs to stop. Why? Because they mean nothing. No, really. They are meaningless.Anybody who knows how the process even works knows that the President isn't elected by national popular vote. It was designed that way on purpose to make sure one or two areas of the country didn't have the whole say in who the President would be. The candidate can

All freedom loving educated individuals know that publications like the New York Times, Washington Post, and major network news are nothing but propaganda outlets for the Democratic party now.

It's been hard for me to write updates on the 2012 Republican primary. Honestly, the entire process has made me sick to my stomach.In a year where all the issues are falling on the side of conservatism, two of the four remaining candidates are spending the majority of their time smearing the other two instead of doing their due diligence in convincing me (and others) to vote for them.Mitt Romney

Why is the media celebrating 8.3 percent unemployment? Why are we accepting this as good news even if the numbers weren't absolutely bogus? Why are we accepting this at all?8.3 percent unemployment? Sure. If you don't bother even counting 1.2 million people that have given up looking totally. Because the economy is so bad, and said 1.2 million people (including myself) have not been able to

We've been listening to propaganda for months now about how grass root TEA Party conservatives are "hostage takers", "terrorists", and violent. As usual, this is a classic case of projection by the leftists.

Looking at all the finger pointing going on right now, I almost have to laugh. Especially at those who blame the downgrade on not collecting even more taxes. Put very simply, for even the biggest airhead to understand, when was the last time Congress didn't spend every dime of tax revenue it received, and then about forty percent more on top of that? Social security is the biggest example of

So it wasn't Plan A, or Plan B. It was Plan "See I told you so". (Wish I could take credit for that, but that's the intellectual property of Rush, and his book by the similar name).Anyway, as I've already gone through in the last post, that "Boehner plan" was just the vehicle for the Senate watering down of everything, and here we are, with that "great and wonderful" deal passed and the stock

John Boehner: Architect of the Death of the Republican PartyThe RINOs and the clueless are doing their rounds today trying to shore up support for Speaker of the House John Boehner's "plan" to raise the debt ceiling and "cut spending". Yet it cuts nothing.It suggests how much to cut, and then leaves it up to selected members of Congress to come up with specific proposals. The initial estimates

So now we find out that the Department of Education is authorized to have armed agents and the ability to kick down your door if you're suspected of some kind of shady dealings with school loans. What about if you're way behind on your loans? Can they kick down your door then too? Where does this stop?The main problem appears to be the Homeland Security Act of 2002 that gave any agency with an

It looks like Sarah Palin is finally getting ready to enter the 2012 Republican Primary race. News is out now that she contracted with conservative filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon to produce a series of videos exposing all accomplishments and successes of her time in office as Alaska governor.

Even with all the hype about Obama being unbeatable and polls saying this, 42% of people think he doesn't deserve re-election. It's just that people are de-spirited and don't think there's anyone worth voting for, just like 2008. However these people haven't met Herman Cain yet.

"Separation of church and state" doesn't exist in the United States. At least not the way the progressive propaganda that has been fed to you tells you. The United States Constitution guarantees you freedom of religion imposed upon you by government. It does NOT guarantee you freedom FROM exposure to religion, religious objects, songs or otherwise. Even in public places.The left-wing idea of

While the civilized among us will never celebrate the taking of life, unlike the savages that danced in the streets after the deaths of those 2000 people on September 11, 2001; we do recognize that justice has been served for the brutal murder of those people.After nearly ten years, the tireless work of the intelligence community both in the US and other nations, and the US armed forces has

So where ever I go lately I hear the politicians and media squawking. "Record profits, record profits! *squawk!"Then, like the Marxists they are, they will go on to tell you how companies like Exxon-Mobile are making "obscene profits" due to the high prices of oil and maybe, just maybe they ought to pay some kind of extra tax as punishment for all the pain they're supposedly causing us.So, let

After seven months of being delinquent, today the House of Representatives finally passed the 2011 Budget. Unfortunately, it's a loser for the nation as no real cuts were made upon examination of the final legislation. The final result: about $350 million in cuts. Yes, that's right. Million. If this was a state budget, that might be a meaningful cut. However we're speaking of the over
