Congratulations, Speaker Boehner
I didn’t get to watch it live, thankfully Jimmy was there with the commentary!

Freedom of Movement
Some years ago, the point was made that freedom of movement was an essential component of American freedom. I wish I could relate the source of my enlightenment on that point, but it escapes me at the moment. I’ve always remembered it on some level, because it is so obviously true on so basic a …
Halfway there
I guess turnout was indeed greater than expected… my damned poll site ran out of stickers before I got there. Oh well, this one will do. Halfway to 2012. Thankfully, today’s results should stem the tide until we can correct the mistake of 2008. Now we just have to keep our collective foot on the …
Welcome to the new world order
Think the conspiracy theorists are completely out of touch? Not on this one. Court allows countries to join challenge to Arizona Law In a new twist in the fight over Arizona’s immigration law, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer on Tuesday asked a federal court to disallow foreign governments from joining the U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit to …
Peace Through Strength
Seems quite reasonable to me. A Platform for Restoring ‘Peace Through Strength’ In a world characterized by growing threats to freedom and the U.S. Constitution, America’s exceptional role, and indeed our country’s very existence, is at risk. We believe such times demand a robust, comprehensive national security posture appropriate to today’s threats, and tomorrow’s. Toward …
Kagan
Yesterday I wrote my Congressman regarding the nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court of the United States. I told him I hoped he planned to vote against her confirmation, and described some of my reasons. Today I saw this testimony, and Senator Burr, I hope you heard it, too: A Veteran Puts Kagan …
Michael Steele is a Moron
This is Michael Steel trying to be, to quote him, “too cute by half.” “This is a war of Obama’s choosing.” Apparently he forgot about Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and 9-11. I’m with Bill Kristol on this one… Michael Steele: Resign.
Conspiracy Theorists Gone Wild!
I don’t know who Mr. Orengo is – he could be a Kenyan Ron Paul – but I find it hilarious to read this in an official (Kenyan) government document, over two weeks old, having heard not a peep about it on the news. If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity …
Race: American
I just filled out my 2010 census form. I didn’t hesitate to check “Some other race” in response to question 9, and write in “American”. I invite every American to do the same, regardless of ancestry. Kudos to Michelle Malkin and Theodore Roosevelt.
Late Friday Night
In the last year, how many times can you recall the phrase “in a statement released late Friday night” in reference to some embarrassing tidbit released by the Obama administration? Too many, certainly. This morning, it was the new muslim envoy to yet another radical islamic nutjob group (why do we seem to have so …
Was that a deadline?
Make no mistake (and damn do I hate that phrase), I have no desire to see the maggots housed in the cells in Guantanamo released anywhere in the world, let alone inside the continental United States. That being said, I just cannot resist the urge to point out another failure of Barry and Co. Obama …
Saturday Night Politics
Nancy kept the House in session late on a Saturday in order to twist enough arms to get her nearly 2000 page POS passed. Harry is planning to do the same to the Senate this weekend. Does anyone still believe this health care fiasco is above board, proper, legal, and necessary? BOHICA, America. This is …
Tainting the Pool
It occurred to me on my drive to work today, that Obama’s statements yesterday would only make it harder to put terrorists on in New York City. He referred to, basically, ‘a fair trial and a speedy execution’. No lawyer in the world would neglect to bring this up at trial. A quick check now …
Mr. Attorney General
Lindsey Graham schools the Attorney General of the United States on the finer points of law. Holder stammers. Continuously.
