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 […]
Ron Paul – Constitutionalist
Yesterday, National Review posted an interview with Congressman Ron Paul. The interview itself is worth reading. Paul is a great man and has been essential in educating Americans about constitutional government, non-interventionism and monetary policy. But a paragraph from the interview deserves its own highlight, and here it is: Paul, however, says his political philosophy […]
Liberal Egos First Sign of Inflation
On Sunday Paul Krugman wrote some more delusional jive about inflation. Krugman tells readers that inflation is not happening, and that the rise in commodity prices is a function of developing nations demanding more commodities to feed and power their countries. That may be partly true, but that doesn’t explain the increases in prices for […]
Census Gains for Texas
The 2010 Census has been released. Using the 2010 Census interactive map, you can see the growth/declines of populations in the states. Michigan was the only state in the nation to see an actual population decline, but many states saw growth that was under the national average. Texas and Florida saw enough population growth to […]
Cut Spending or it Could Get Ugly
Rather than taking the message politely, Democrats have plowed ahead with their plans to raise taxes on the “wealthy” in America. In doing so they will be hammering America’s small businesses with new tax burdens that will only hurt the prospects of the nation’s poor and jobless. There simply isn’t room in American politics today […]
Replace Liberalism
Today Newt Gingrich wrote that American conservatives need to begin a push for “replacement,” after having focused on a rejection of the Obama-Marxist agenda. As Newt writes, there are over 513,000 elected positions in America, from president to dogcatcher and everything in between. When Americans vote they get a choice for each of these positions […]
Tea Party Makes its Mark
Congress is facing a new wave of freshmen who are eager to implement the reform proposals that they based their electoral campaigns on. The first target for new GOP senators was a ban of earmarks. They won the battle. The minority leader, Mitch McConnell agreed to an earmark ban for his caucus. Until recently McConnell […]
Democrats to Use 1099s to Suck Business Dry
The Democrats are simply out to suck business dry. After receiving over $170 million from unions this election cycle, Democrats probably were thinking that they don’t need business anymore. That’s why when big company CEOs like Rupert Murdoch and the Koch brothers fund conservative groups, the left demonizes them so badly. They have no need […]
Washington Has a Spending Problem
After four years of defensive strategy in the House, conservatives can finally assume the offense. With their newfound control they can begin to dismantle, defund, and ultimately repeal the Obamacare legislation. Democrats will be forced to defend 21 Senate seats in 2012, with four to eight seats already looking shaky. No matter the final outcome, […]
