There were a number of impressive speeches delivered at last week’s CPAC, the most popular annual convention of conservatives in America. Congressman Allen West rocked the house with his speech, closing the convention. The CPAC straw poll, always a contentious vote, was won for the second year in a row by Congressman Ron Paul, with […]
A Time for Boldness
After House GOP leadership offered up a budget with a paltry $35 billion in cuts, the new Tea Party members rightly balked. This morning the Wall Street Journal reports that House leadership is putting another $26 billion of cuts in its budget for the remainder of the year. That’s a total of $61 billion over […]
Governor Rick Scott at the Cato Policies Initiative
Yesterday, Matt, Debbie and I and a group of friends participated in a Cato Institute Policies Initiative at The Ritz Carlton in Naples, Florida. What a highly energized and masterfully organized event it was. The policy event was attended by over 600 of the most focused, serious folk I have ever seen assembled at such […]
The End of Moderation
A disturbing article graced the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal this morning. In it the editors write that the Democratic Leadership Council, one of the few moderate Democratic policy institutions left in Washington, is closing down shop. That means that the leadership of the Democratic Party will receive even fewer moderate ideas and […]
Government by Jabba
As the fate of Obamacare slowly rolls its way toward the Supreme Court, it is time to remember that the most important man in America today is Justice Anthony Kennedy. With his swing vote he will decide the fortune of Obamacare, and either allow similar twisted legislation to become law in the future, or stop […]
Snowy Winter
It’s been a hard winter in the North East. Our friends and family up there have been telling us stories of the snowfall. Here are some pictures from Marra in Portland, Connecticut. Marra wrote “The winter here has been so brutal I can’t even describe it. We have had over 55″ of snow, a storm every […]
Start Cutting With Obamacare
In a speech about his budget balancing plan Rand Paul says “People in official Washington think this a pretty bold, maybe overly bold, proposition. But it only cuts about a third of the annual deficit.” He’s right, people in Washington do think it’s bold, and that’s a big problem. They don’t think inflating the budget […]
Obamacare Repeal Fails
Do you remember, back in 2009 when all of America turned to the election of Scott Brown to the Senate from Massachusetts? Then state-senator Brown promised to be the 41st vote against Obamacare, stopping it in its tracks and delivering a death blow to the bill that few in the country wanted to see pass. […]
After Egypt
The Wall Street Journal reports that Hosni Mubarak gave his Minister of the Interior an order to use live ammunition to disperse crowds of protesters. Nothing could be more damning for Mr. Mubarak. Asking his police to shoot and kill his own people is unforgiveable. No one wants to see chaos in Egypt. But the […]
Obamacare Unconstitutional, Again
Yesterday the ruling came down from Judge Roger Vinson in a Florida federal court that the individual mandate is unconstitutional and that if the Supreme Court agrees, the whole law must be nullified. This decision puts into stark relief something I have been writing for a long time now, that Justice Anthony Kennedy is the […]
