“If no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?” — President Reagan, Jan. 20, 1981.
Describes Congress pretty well imo.

Gun control humor (not really). Stupid reasons for gun control.
From an article titled “It’s amazing what one has to believe to believe in gun control”.
1. Banning guns works, which is why New York, DC, & Chicago cops need guns.
2. Washington DC’s low murder rate of 69 per 100,000 is due to strict gun control, and Indianapolis’ high murder rate of 9 per 100,000 is [...]

Ahoy there, massive new taxes!
Take a look at all the tax hikes in the healthcare plan. This is just nuts. What a complete piece of garbage.
The one saving grace we all have is that it will be tied up in court as it is arguably unconstitutional for the federal government to require private citizens to purchase any good or [...]

Global what?
Can we get beyond this whole global warming issue and man’s impact on climate change? If you are a critical thinker and look at the evidence you should probably realize that this whole myth is being pushed because it allows the (former communist) liberal left to extract more money and control from the populace.

Obama’s Deficit: The Devil Made Me Do It
By Jon N. Hall
Ever since his inauguration, President Obama has said that he “inherited” the federal budget deficit from his predecessor. But immediately upon taking office, Obama signed two new bills, the $787B stimulus and the $410B omnibus, that together about equal the $1.2T [...]

Sounds familiar…
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that justifies it.”

Milton Friedman Channels Manly
Seriously though, he’s pretty much my hero. In all my study of economics on the way to my degree he was the individual who influenced me the most.
The fact that he OWNS socialist moonbat Donahue is just icing on the cake.
Phil using the word “Maldistribution” gives his position away immediately.

Nice one LBJ, right there with you.
A quote from LBJ:
‘You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered.’

Not that I see any benefits to single payer, rationed health care run by a [...]

Some Health Care Facts
Some interesting facts when comparing American health care to British and Canadian systems (socialized).
Not something the media or our fine President would like you to know.
I am sure if you know me personally you are already aware of how I feel about this issue.

1. Americans have better survival rates than Europeans for common cancers.
2. Americans [...]

Interesting Reading.
The things you don’t read about Barack Obama
Sat. May 2 – 5:46 AM
Will Rogers famously pleaded that all he knew was what he read in the papers. If all a person knew of Barack Obama’s first 100 days as president was what they read of them in this newspaper, it would seem to be a [...]

A Friend’s response to what he wants his government to be…
Couldn’t have said it better myself. I don’t agree with everything but the general principle that goverment is here to secure our rights and stay out of our way is dead on.

OBITUARY FOR COMMON SENSE
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
