Share Button

This was brought to my attention by favorite podcaster Dan Carlin via his latest Common Sense podcast “The Leadership Triangle“. Many may not like Pat Buchanan, but he’s out of the PC loop, freeing him to write whatever he feels must be said, damned the consequences, and here he writes about the consequences of the […]

The False Flag Of Fiscal Responibility

Share Button

I was reading Bruce Bartlett’s blog today concerning the government defaulting on the national debt, and a commenter left this remark: Gingrich threatened debt default during the 1995 budget impasse.

You would think that, after the Scott Brown win in Massachusetts,  and the fact that the state is currently $21 BILLION in the red, the legislature would back off on something like this….  You would think.

That’s why I proposed a […]

Word Of The Day: Favoritism.

Share Button

Question: “Hey Democrats, why don’t I get a special tax break to buy me off on approving the useless health care bill?”. Answer: “You’re not in a union you idiot!”. Yep, the Democrats  cut the unions and government workers a sweetheart deal to get them on board the Health Care Reform train – Tax breaks […]
