I seem to remember Obama & Company lamenting our First Amendment and calling the offensive to Muslims YouTube video terrible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSooz2wXpes North Koreans are insulted, "Go to the movies." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQKJBHP8mY4

Was the Sony Hack a result of Foreign Governments exploiting the Worn Holes that the CIA placed in our computer to spy on Americans? Foreign Governments have always stolen US Government technology. Are the "Cyber Sleuth" worm holes the new Manhattan secrets?

For what it's worth, the Taliban kill 126 children, claiming that education is poison. In a related note, the very word Taliban comes from the root word Talib, meaning student. They were created in schools, armed themselves with the certainty that they therefore understood everything, and formed the organization "The students". The only reason I post this is that I haven't seen this remarked upon yet. With such astonishing hipocrisy, it must be that the Taliban are an offshoot of progressivism.

We have been betrayed. Again. Just like in 2010, the outgoing GOP class compromised a referendum election before the new Congress even had a chance to take their seats. In this case, the GOPe "leadership" essentially funded everything the new members were specifically elected to stop. What can the incoming Congressmen do? 1. Vote for new leadership 2. Remember that no Congress can be bound by a prior Congress. What if... we had a GOP president and owned both houses of Congress. After losing a wave election where Congress is going to fully flip sides in January, the outgoing Congress...

A few minutes ago SWAT found out that the PTSD gunman who killed four in Souderton and Lansdale, Pa was not in home in Souderton, PA. Escaped. Whereabouts of gunman unknown, more deaths expected. New crime scene in Pennsburg, Pa with police investigating.....unknown.

He called a constitutional point of order on section L of the Cromnibus, which fund the president's actions on Amnesty.

Are Boehner, McDonnell, Chief Justice Roberts and other assorted RINOs being systematically blackmailed by WhiteHouse/FBI/CIA/IRS? It would explain a lot. In all seriousness. We know how this President operates. We know how he uses the government agencies. We know he targets enemies. We know the Republican leadership doesn't represent the people who keep voting for it. We've all seen crazy decisions made by them that seem illogical and self-destructive to their party's interests (to say nothing of the country's). We know we're all being spied on. We all know the US is no longer a free country. Has any independent...

Note that it is day after the vote on the spending bill known as CRomnibus and the House clerk has yet to post the votes. (As of 11 am EST, on 12/12/14) I just wrote a flaming red-hot epistle to my congressman, Lou Barletta, about the entire process used with CRomnibus. At least he had an explanation for his vote in a post on his website. I am really curious if the Republican leadership has found a way to delay the House Clerk's posting of the voting results to give cover to Republican congresscritters.

I’m interested in the current Federal funding bill. Below is a list of Federal Departments, starting with the original four enumerated in the Constitution. For each Department, what percentage of their current budget do you think should be granted in this budget? Are there any departments that should be eliminated entirely from Federal funding and purview? After this list there are links that further flesh out the extent of the Federal leviathan, with further “government agencies and corporations” that could perhaps have their budgets cut or entirely eliminated. Enjoy! Departments of: (with my recommended funding levels) 1. Defense: 150% 2....

The simplest solution to the mess that the republican leadership created...in September, by funding the government till December 12th. They wanted to play games and they are getting burned!

So, I was searching for who knows what the other day and up pops this pic of Jim Thompson. For those in the know, you'll understand why just this picture made me laugh. So, let's hear for it Jim and celebrate his life

The Eric Garner Law. Ban cities from all of these absurd local taxes and creating the incentives that led to the arrest of a guy for selling loosies. Republicans can get behind it because it shows the overreach of tax laws and Democrats won't dare oppose it. All of these major cities are Democrat-run liberal bastions. What say you?

All the news is condemning the police for Eric Garner's death. I watched numerous videos of the event but all are edited. I ask...what events took place prior to the police taking him to the ground?

I'm not sure the country is quite ready for a total cancellation of the State of the Union much as i feel it justified. But how about a compromise and ask that the President come and give it during the daytime? In the UK the Queen's Speech to the Opening of Parliament (which is the closest equivalent to the SOTU) is held during the daytime. It would definitely annoy the White House to not get their 3 hours of night time spotlight but there's nothing unreasonable about moving this speech to the daytime. It would save money (don't have to...

Procedure: (1) Gain control of the “purse”; (2) Buy lots of votes; (3) Be the dictatorial ruler. Chavez: (1) Controlled Venezuela’s oil & oil revenue; (2) Created entitlements for the masses; (3) Became dictator for life. Obama: (1) Remember the nearly $1T stimulus legislated to Obama to use, which he gave as bailouts & required repayment be made to “his” stimulus fund & NOT to the US treasury (thus purse created & under his control); (2) Exec Order “amnesty & entitlements (paid for from his purse, thus bypassing Congress) to the massive number of illegal immigrants so they become a...

As the anniversary approaches, The Left is going to remind us. Count on it.

Comprehensive immigration reform: 1. Secure our borders and ports and provide verifiable metrics 2. End the anchor-baby interpretation of the 14th Amendment 3. Make eVerify mandatory and enforce it with large fines 4. Reduce legal immigration quotas and end chain migration 5. Deport illegals upon contact with any law enforcement agency 6. No local, state or federal government benefits of any kind 7. Any health and/or other care billed back to the home country 8. Lifetime ban on path to citizenship for anyone who entered illegally 9. Make illegal entry a felony

An interesting way to harden the US dollar and make it less of a fiat currency would be to sell the US oil reserve and use the proceeds to buy gold to store in Ft Knox or elsewhere. For those who know their dollar and oil reserve history--this is 180 reversal of policies set in the 1970's because of a 180 reversal of circumstances. In the 1970's US oil production peaked and went into decline while the US dollar went off the gold standard and went into decline. What's different now? 1.)Fracking has shown that the USA now has 100...

Thanksgiving weekend is very traditional in my house; Thanksgiving morning we go to the Macy’s Parade (19 years running) then Friday I take my oldest into the city for shopping on black Friday. Lots of fun, shopping, dinner and a lot of daddy time. This year the specter of left wing Ferguson protestors loomed large over all of it in NYC. I was hoping not to see them on Thursday as I didn’t want the parade or my ride in or out of the city interrupted. Nothing ever materialized. I did see the video of the police stopping would be...
