Hypocrisy is ripe in Washington these days. In 2006 when the Bush administration ran the country’s debt up to the debt ceiling and congressional Republicans wanted to raise the debt ceiling, here is what then-Senator Barack Obama said The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of […]
Constitutional Scholars
It has always amazed me that there is a group of folk out there who bill themselves as “constitutional scholars.” These are lawyerly types who believe they have a firmer grasp on the simple wording of the U.S. constitution than you or I do. What in fact is going on is that they most often […]
Krugman and the Texas Deficit
Paul Krugman recently wrote a celebratory little piece about the projected budget shortfall in Texas. Krugman was overjoyed that a low tax state filled with conservatives may have to deal with a deficit, it was pathetic. Kevin D. Williamson at National Review absolutely blasted Krugman out of the water, but one point I want to […]

Business as Usual
Why are liberal pundits like Joy Behar so angry with Republicans reading the constitution on the House floor? (An even harder question to answer is why is Joy Behar a pundit at all?) Are they afraid it might stick? Not to worry, I doubt any of the liberals or RINOs in the House will hear […]
Obamacare in GOP Sights
The GOP must have a clear vision of its path going forward if it plans on keeping conservative Americans satisfied. The new plan to offer a bill cutting spending every week is a great talking point, but the targeted $100 billion in nondefense discretionary spending is a drop in the bucket, and puts America no […]
Congress Must Cite Constitution
Roger Pilon writes a detailed column on the history of the constitution this morning. In it, a quote from Henry Waxman (D-CA30) regarding the new rule that bills put before Congress will have to cite which part of the Constitution gives Congress the authority to legislate them reads, “Whether it is constitutional or not is going […]
Tea Party Must Prod New Congress
As the 112th Congress shapes up, it can already be seen that Tea Party conservatives must enforce the American peoples’ will, or it will be forgotten and replaced by GOP and Democratic wish-list legislation. Conservative Americans must force the GOP-controlled House of Representatives to write legislation that cuts spending, and by a lot more than […]
Another New Year for Fannie and Freddie
As the New Year comes Americans will be greeted with a major change in their congressional representation. Conservatives fought hard for two years to convince independents that they should stand together and cast out the liberal-progressives in Congress. It worked, and now conservatives must stay true to their promises to independents. When I see news […]
Paul and Palin
Any American familiar with the writings of the founders knows that the commerce clause was never meant to lend Congress carte blanche to make up any government program it desired and fund it with your money. Nor is Congress given the right to set up cartels that use government authority to meddle in the affairs […]
