A couple of people on my Facebook page have wondered why my politics are what they are – libertarian with a dash of conservative. I started to write what I thought was going to be a short answer, but realized there is no short answer, and it was going to be longish, so I moved […]
A number of their rising stars from two years ago lost their re-election bids in November…. Republican House Majority leader John Boehner has seemed to stop catering to them (and crying for them)… Senator Jim DeMint is quitting….

Ann Althouse has posted a damning collection of information against the administration concerning the attack on the American embassy in Benghazi. She features some quotes from Sen Graham from “Face The Nation”, laying out the case: The intelligence community on the ground in Libya has told Senator Corker and myself that within twenty-four hours, they […]
I was in and out of the car tonight, and listened to some of the VP debate. Of course, the partisans on both sides are proclaiming victory. From what I heard, I know who I will say won this one…. Anyone who didn’t bother to watch or listen to the thing! It was […]
