I wish I had written it.

From Jeff Scialabba, a writer with the Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights: “A ‘uniquely American’ government health care plan is (continue reading…)

This video from Hal Weatherman explains the problem in Washington.

It’s nice to know that there are some in the capital (even if only a few) that get it.

Hal has a good blog, with a lot of good and reliable information. Take a look halweatherman.com.

Great review… http://www.moneyshow.com/investing/blog.asp?aid=Blog-17412

My mom gave me “Shrugged” for my 8th grade summer reading project. Granted, I only read part of it that year, but I’ve read it every year for the past decade. I gave the same copy to my son for his 8th grade reading project, a tradition worth passing along. “Shrugged” should be required reading in high school; Rand’s works are required for my political support.

I think I’m in love Nancy Pelosi.

She is very nearly the perfect modern Democrat. Today in USA Today (which I never read), she explained that the House health care plan (which should be read “coverage”- not “care”) is good, and will be right when passed; she explains that (continue reading…)

I knew something smelled funny,  I though it was the President’s policies.

“The thought police would get him just the same. He had committed–would have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper–the essential crime that contained (continue reading…)

Teaching Economics In 1950’s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

In 2008, America voted for CHANGE. How’s that change working out for you?

Last night, I attend a GOOOH meeting. Granted, I did not stay for the entire meeting, but I have some concerns about their objective. Their stated mission is to replace all 435 members of the US Congress.

This is a grass-roots, relatively conservative group- and I support their intent, as I do the 9-12 Project and the tea-parties. The objective is change. The question I have is: (continue reading…)

After bombing in 2006 and 2008, expect a Republican resurgence in 2010. (How’s that for political insight?) The question is: Is it earned?

Obama’s approval rating is dropping rapidly, Rasmussian shows his current index at -12; and that makes the Democrat controlled Congress look good. The best poll that I’ve seen for Pelosi and Reid’s congress is at -23.

Obama and the liberals, as usual, have overreached. Their leadership offers no leadership for America. They have tried to force their agenda down the throats of Americans. Americans are (continue reading…)

There is an often circulated statement within Republican circles, called “I am a Republican Because…” An amended statement follows this post.

But what of this statement, or the party platform for that matter? What relevance do these statements have in today’s GOP; just what does it really mean to be a Republican? (continue reading…)
