Disclosure Act Needs Disclosure
Anytime Chuck Schumer proposes anything, suspicious minds are justified. The Disclosure Act, a brainchild of democrats Schumer and Chris Van Hollen , is another attempt to tip the scales of influence rather than correct them. Like all legislation these days, the Disclosure Act is a bill clouded with legalese. Then again, legislation is often intended [...]
Legislators Defend Free Trips To Spain
A June 21st USA Today story – “Legislators Trek On Private Dime” – revealed that nonprofits and special interests have so far spent 73 percent more during the first quarter of 2010 for congressional travel and trip expenses than in the first quarter of 2009. According to the story, 24 trips to places like Spain [...]
“Please” Might Be Nice
Sometimes “please” and “thank you” work better than “in your face“. It’s one of those age old customs your mother teaches you, universally taught because it’s so universally true. Unfortunately it hasn’t caught on yet among those protesting the Arizona immigration law. Americans are the most charitable and considerate people in the world. For hundreds [...]
Somebody Gave Me a Dirty Look
Just file a harassment complaint and the school will take care of it for you. What the heck is going on America’s schools? The way harassment is dealt with in schools is a total joke and is taking away the teaching of America’s future leaders.
HAMP Dumps On Taxpayers
There is a particular type of headline that runs about every three months. A version ran in the June 16 edition of the Wall Street Journal – “High Default Rates Forecast On Modified Loans”. What it means is every time someone reviews a liberal federal program, this one named HAMP, they conclude it isn’t working. [...]
Dems Screaming “Drill Baby Drill”
As I live and breathe I never expected to hear Democrats aggressively urge the Obama administration to lift the bans on deep water oil drilling, but that’s exactly what’s happening. For one rare political moment in history, some well known Democrat names are not only joining in the chorus calling for less government intrusion, they [...]
The High Cost Of Electing
Sometimes you do get what you pay for, but sometimes you don’t. Money has become the stuff elections are made of, but in terms of principled or competent representation, America is definitely being shortchanged. The amount of money being spent now on political elections is obscene. The 2008 Presidential office alone raised over 1.5 billion [...]
News Reports “Legally” Blind
The first shots of liberal and left inspired protests over the signing of the Arizona Illegal Immigration Law have backfired. The protesters assumed a violent and destructive posture, and America didn’t take well to their breaking things to demand we ignore the word “illegal”. For most of us, we prefer to be still a nation [...]
The War Against Low Cost Alternatives
For all the posturing of Congress, you would think liberals would be aggressively pursuing low fuel alternatives for vehicles that Americans might actually be willing and, more importantly, able to buy. Alas, they never do. Politically, our fearless leaders seem to promote only those alternative fuel automobiles that are priced above the middle class ability [...]

Boom or Bust?
Obama was feeling his “victory” today with the new financial reform bill hammered out by the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee, but why does the United States banks and businesses, need more regulation? Why hasn’t there been an investigation of the SEC, the Federal Reserve, the Treasurery Secretary, and the bank auditors? Why not just enforce the rules and regulations already in place?
