IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws [...]

I do think it a good thing to reduce pollutants in the air – and whether you believe in manmade climate change or not, I imagine you would agree. I also think the US needs to stop spending $200,000 per minute on foreign oil, and would love to see alternative methods developed and utilized.
The question [...]

When a homeowner goes out without locking his doors and leaving some lights on, he is inviting trouble.
In a similar fashion, the American public should prepare itself for a continued plundering of the portfolios and balance sheets of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae by our leading housing finance gurus, Barack Obama and Barney Frank.
The scene [...]

On Sunday’s Meet the Press Joe Biden defended the $787 billion economic stimulus spending bill pushed through Congress, but said that “everyone guessed wrong” on the impact it would have.

As some of you know, my mother suffered a stroke recently. I am currently in my home town spending time with her and getting her house in order. As a result, I rushed a recent post on “DADT” I wrote in order to get to the nursing center in a timely [...]

“This Guy” being President Obama, and the ones making excuses for him are people in the LGBT community. In this particular instance, I mean over “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Yes, the Supreme Court has rejected a challenge to “DADT” in the case of Infantryman, and JAG officer, James Pietrangelo II (H/T to Soldier4Hillary [...]

While issuing a parking ticket, you’d think that New York’s Finest would notice a dead man in the back seat. Or the by the second ticket…or third…or fourth. Yet it was a month later when a disintegrated body was discovered in a minivan covered with parking tickets and dust.
How could this [...]

In the 2010 Senate primaries, should the dashing retired Navy Admiral who currently represents Pennsylvania’s 7th district as a Democrat in Congress take on the grisly, high-profile, five-term Republican Senator who only recently dumped the GOP to declare himself a Democrat? Either man would likely prevail over the right-wing conservative Republican contender.

Just when you think there cannot possibly be more hidden agendas with ACORN and the people who are affiliated with it, something else turns up. I stumbled onto this video while looking for something else entirely: I don’t usually watch Glenn Beck, but the title sure grabbed my attention:

I saw the following story this morning on the news, and was pretty surprised by it: One-Fourth of Overseas Votes Go Uncounted, Study Finds. Some of you may recall that John McCain asked for an extension to count votes in VA for absentee ballots requested by military personnel that [...]

“What Goes Around, Comes Around …”: First, the WSJ panel, aired every weekend, goes over the Pelosi mess. Then the panel gets into the bullying by the Obama administration of the state of California, ridiculing Obama for his, um, loose interpretation of the “rule of law.” It’s a great discussion:
BELOW, “the end [...]

I seem to be on a roll with the Prison and Freedom thing, so I will just continue. Roxanna Saberi is not the only political prisoner currently, by far. And thank heavens she has since been released. One has been imprisoned for years now, the Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Aung San [...]

It’s so hard to read one’s facial expressions when the face doesn’t move
It’s time to have some fun at the Speaker’s expense. I’ll go first.
Nancy was caught in a web of her lies.
The CIA hopes that she fries.
President Obama we trust
Will toss her under the bus.
And Steny can try on speaker for size.

Here’s my favorite section from Nancy’s press conference yesterday:
They mislead us all the time. I was busy fighting the war in Iraq at that time too, you know.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has violated the foremost rule of public relations: Nancy has made Nancy the story. First in our round-up of Nancy’s screwball P.R. [...]

Editor’s Note: Kudos (!) to Uppity for producing this report on Vitter’s astonishingly disgusting stunt.

Our own Freedom Fairy drew my attention to the fact that the appointment of Craig Fugate to FEMA is being blocked by Senator David Vitter. Our own Freedom Fairy not only reminded me, but she actually knows and worked with Craig [...]

This past week has been a bit up and down. NH and Maine passed same sex marriage laws - YAY! And we find out more gay and lesbian soldiers have been kicked out of the military - BOO. Obama continues to morph into Bush, as I have noted on numerous occasions, but most [...]

Nancy Pelosi, you’re worse than a 15-year-old getting grilled by angry parental units who caught their kid trying to sneak into the house in the middle of the night. You try in vain to compose creative lies, each one more laughable than the last, while battling the intoxicating effect of a gallon [...]

At a time when our National Debt has now reached a level so large that most Americans don’t even know exactly how many zeros are attached to it, John Kerry wants to make newspapers “Not for profit” so that they no longer have to pay taxes.
Hours before a Senate hearing on struggling newspapers, Sen. John [...]

Here’s a hint - it’s a type of nut. Yep, you got it - Barney Frank is hellbent on giving ACORN* a big ol’ chunk of your change. Oh, they have already gotten a pretty decent amount, an astronomical amount by non-profit standards. Are you sitting down? To date, since 1994, [...]
