• Arizona Targets Obama Birther Controversy with New Law 03-15-12
  Good. I hope the bill passes, and I hope the governor signs it (though I was frankly very disappointed in her when she didn't sign a comparable measure earlier).
• New CBO Health Law Estimate Shows Much Higher Spending Past First 10 Years 03-14-12
  But that's okay because we've got the money, right? Only the liberal left could possibly believe that, and only the socialists in power (for the moment, anyway) could consider such a thing to be sustainable.
• New Study Finds Obama is "No. 1 Regulator" 03-14-12
  Surprise, surprise, surprise. And the icing on the cake is just how much all of those regulations cost! (In fairness, Republicans are far from blameless. It's just that the Obama administration has exceeded even the worst of the worst from the other side of the aisle.)
• Obama gets dubbed "chief lunatic" 03-14-12
  Uh, oh. Somebody better report Rush Limbaugh, this article, the pollsters, and the majority of the rest of us to AttackWatch.com right away! Me? I'll just say the truth hurts...particularly when your record is as painful as this president's!

• UN Rights Council Delves into US Voter ID Laws 03-14-12
  Let me get this straight: The NAACP is appealing to the United Nations over claims that presenting your ID as a requisite for voting will "disenfranchise" minority voters. The UN has no authority over the US or any of its states. Among others on its "do-as-we-say-not-as-we-do" Human Rights Council is Saudi Arabia where women can't vote with or without ID; Communist China, known around the world for its freedom—not; and Cuba. 'Nuff said about that! I agree with the man who suggests this is just another publicity stunt by the NAACP, which has become increasingly more irrelevant over the years, and more shrill and less rational as it does.
• Speaking of voter ID laws, for those of you who are more visual than verbal, cartoonist Michael Ramirez may have summed the issue up perfectly in his political cartoon today! 03-14-12
• BLOG ENTRY James O'Keefe Proves Voter Fraud in Vermont, Libs Attack 03-14-12
  O'Keefe should be hailed as a hero. Instead the states Democrat Attorney General wants to charge him with "voter fraud." I'm betting Mr. O'Keefe didn't use those ballots to vote. Unlike, of course, all of the other dead, ineligible, and duplicated people! If ever there was proof of the need for voter ID laws, I think Mr. O'Keefe just provided it.
• Stunner! Balanced CBS report on Arpaio probe 03-13-12
  While I have to admit that an unbiased report from the mainstream media is rare enough to be newsworthy, that's not the real kicker here. The real news is that Arpaio's investigative team has identified the computer that uploaded the supposed long form birth certificate. A spokesman for the team that came to the conclusion that the document is a forgery is adamant that they've proved so definitively. Please, oh, please let the criminal investigation continue. It's obviously warranted!
• Congressman questions Obama birth certificate 03-13-12
  Lots of people question the legitimacy of Mr. Obama's birth certificate and, by direct impact, the legitimacy of his presidency. But even a man who can—and should!—do something about it seems to think that the timing is inconvenient, what with elections coming this fall and all. Apparently, the Constitution is now taking second place to expedience (which, come to think of it, is largely how the country got in so much trouble in the first place).

• COMMENTARY Will House GOP Leaders Assault Constitutional Rights Next Week? 03-13-12
  Maybe. Probably. While the Obama administration is, without question, the most corrupt and the most anti-Constitution in the history of the country, the Democrats haven't caused all the damage over the decades all by themselves!
• O'Reilly: I'm too busy to report on Obama eligibility 03-12-12
  Too busy to report on what could prove the story of the century? Insufficient "hard evidence" (I disagree, by the way) to report on what could prove a genuine constitutional crisis? O'Reilly's credibility has just gone down the tubes as far as I'm concerned!
• Obama disregards congressional mandate 03-12-12
  So what else is new? I do wonder, though, just how many times this President must be in direct violation of the Constitution, and just how far beyond the authorities granted him by the Constitution he'll have to go, before Congress finally does the job it's constitutionally supposed to be doing? Meanwhile, Mr. Obama has gone well above and beyond politics and being the worst President ever. In my opinion, he's now an outright criminal, and it's well past time somebody charged him accordingly.

• Justice Department Files Objection to Texas Voter ID Law 03-12-12
  Well, of course it did! You didn't expect Obama to be able to win a second term without even more voter fraud than occurred when he won his first, did you? For the record (like you didn't already know it), I stand with Texas on this one.
• COMMENTARY Surprise! It Works! 03-12-12
  Well, it's not the perfect solution. But it helps a whole lot! That probably explains, of course, why Democrats are so dead set against the idea...
• Will A Sitting President Finally Be Held Accountable For High Crimes and Misdemeanors? 03-11-12
  At this point, I can't pretend I care how Barack Obama is removed from office, just as long as he is. That being said, I'll admit a preference for seeing his ouster actually hold him accountable for just one of his many crimes against the Constitution...
• Constitutional analyst: Detention now legal 03-11-12
  I don't think you need to be an expert on the Constitution to understand just what one particular provision of the NDAA will permit the President to do. The English is pretty simple, and the thrust of the words is straightforward. And yes, it would, indeed, allow the President to be the sole arbiter of which of us would forfeit by force all of our constitutional and unalienable rights.
• PRAVDA chides U.S. media for ignoring Sherrif Joe Arpaio investigation 03-07-12
  Yes, I'm well aware that PRAVDA chiding American reporters and news outlets is very much a case of the pot calling the kettle black. At the same time, the American media has handed this opportunity for criticism to PRAVDA, and they've done so on a silver platter. Just as Sherrif Arpaio suggests, there must be a full criminal investigation into the matter. That doesn't change whether the media anywhere chooses to acknowledge it or not!

• Under tea party pressure, House GOP may renege on budget deal 03-08-12
  It's a deal they shouldn't have made in the first place, and it's certainly a backtrack that ought to have been taken long ago and with no pressure whatsoever other than the commitment to do the right thing. Still, this is better than nothing. And it's far, far better than the White House's answer to just about everything concerning spending: Don't cut anything, increase taxes! In a related story, the Senate Tea Party caucus offers deep cuts which, unfortunately, stand little chance of making it through the Democrat-controlled Senate (and which frankly don't seem deep enough to meet the urgent need, though I'll give them at least some credit for making the effort).
• Marine says he won't follow "unlawful orders" from Obama 03-08-12
  In other words, unlike the President, he's an honorable man who actually intends to uphold the oath he took.
• COMMENTARY Be Prepared 03-08-12
  This particular column exhorts us to take action, to stand firm. It's intended to be inspiring while offering up a very serious warning. And after having read it, I am that much more determined. But first? First, though I'm sure the writer would be surprised to know it, his words made me cry.
• COMMENTARY Obama surrenders America 03-08-12
  You can describe this however you like. Me? I'm going to just come right out and tell it like it is: Treasonous.
• COMMENTARY Obama and the continued shredding of the Constitution 03-08-12
  The author refers to the latest claims of the Obama administration as "amazing" and "breathtaking." Let me just clarify that he does not mean those words in any kind of a remotely good way, and I am truly afraid that I have to agree with him. I would point out that the actual claims were made in the Senate and in front of United States Senators who are sworn to uphold the Constitution. Hey, gentlemen and ladies: The President is not only stealing freedom from Americans, he's taking constitutional authority away from you! So...are you going to do anything about it? Or are you going to stand by while America goes out with nary a whimper?
• COMMENTARY The President's Spiffy New Program 03-08-12
  In the immortal words of President Ronald Reagan, "There you go again!" Spending money the country doesn't have (to bribe voters, I suppose), on a program that will work on a very limited basis if at all, without consulting Congress (which is constitutionally in charge of the purse strings, largely to prevent the kind of profligate spending the current President seems to enjoy so very much).
• COMMENTARY Sheriff Arpaio: "I Suspect a Forgery." Now What? 03-08-12
  Do you know what would silence the "birthers" once and for all? A real investigation. Sort of like the one Sheriff Arpaio started, and the one Congress should be continuing. The "birthers" would either be proved right or wrong, once and for all. But instead, the Obama White House continues to obscure, hide, or fabricate the President's past. The first question investigators should be asking at this point is: Why?
• "Smoking gun" in Breitbart mystery video 03-07-12
  My reaction falls somewhere between Williams' and Malkin's. Do I think that this video, in and of itself, is damning? No. But I do think it's damaging. And frankly, it ought to be!

March 7, 2012

• Breitbart's mystery tapes on Obama released 03-07-12
  I care less about what's on the tapes than I do the fact that they've been hidden away for so long. The current resident of the White House has spent a fortune obscuring, hiding, and withholding inforamtion about his past. That inclines me to believe that there's something somebody doesn't want us to know, which makes me think it's something we ought to know!

• Nine State AGs Cite 21 Illegal Actions by Obama Administration 03-06-12
  There is no reason or excuse I can come up with, even in my wildest imagination, why this President isn't up on charges. Not only is the media failing the American public, Congress is apparently not up to its most fundamental job, either!
• Obama's IRS on warpath against tea parties 03-05-12
  I realize that the IRS must determine legitimate tax status, and I have no quibble with that. At issue here are questions that seem to be far beyond the pale, questions that not only are immaterial but which are extraordiarily personally invasive. It also strikes me as somewhat odd that a number of tea party groups seem to have been targeted. I'm not prepared to make any accusations against either the IRS or the Obama administration, but the coincidence is a little much to be believed. I'm glad to hear that the ACLJ has lawyers looking into the matter!
• COMMENTARY Wikileaks reveals Democrat 2008 election crimes 03-05-12
  And this isn't being investigated in depth by the authorities because...? Actually, I know the answer to that. It's just that the answer is as wrong as the alleged actions!
• COMMENTARY No More Secrets 03-05-12
  Indeed. And the closer you get to the end of the column, the bigger and the more important the secrets become.

March 5, 2012

• Rep. Denham targets underused federal buildings to cut government waste 03-05-12
  I'm sorry, but I just can't find a down side here. The cuts would prove painless. Not only would selling the properties mean added income, but would mean no more maintenance expenses. If this isn't approved, and if the sale of these properties isn't made more efficient now, it won't be the fault of one Congressman who apparently actually has a clue!
• Say it ain't so, Joe: President Boehner? 03-04-12
  Succession is provided for within the Constitution. That's not, in my opinion, much of an issue. What is? Eligibility. That's also in the Constitution, by the way, and there's legitimate doubt that Barack Obama meets the delineated requirements. The only thing that's frankly not in question is the fact that the mainstream media doesn't seem to care to vet a candidate it's adopted as its own.
• Dem. Reps. Kucinich and Kaptur face off in cycle's first redistricting showdown 03-04-12
  This really is a tough call. It's awfully hard to tell which is the lesser of two evils here given that both have proved in the past that they're hostile to liberty, not to mention the economy! But if I must choose, I'd hope that Dennis Kucinich wins. The idea of spendthrift Marcy Kaptur as Chair of the House Appropriations Committee simply doesn't bear thinking about!
• COMMENTARY The Vetting, Part I: Barack's Love Song to Alinsky 03-04-12
  Written by Andrew Breitbart just before he died, this column was intended by Breitbart to kick off a campaign to do with the left-leaning media won't: vet a Democrat presidential candidate (you know, like Republican candidates are vetted, and like Barack Obama has never been). I'm not surprised but am plenty dismayed by what's revealed here. Not only for the sake of Mr. Breitbart's memory, but quite literally for the future of this country, I sincerely hope this series continues just the way Andrew Breitbart himself would have conducted it!
• BLOG ENTRY The Next Outrageous Demand 03-04-12
  Let me get right to the point: No. Abso-freakin'-lutely NO!
• Investigators now in hunt for forger 03-02-12
  Good. As well they should be!

• Lawmaker Wants Answers After Cost Estimate for Health Insurance Aid Rises by $111B 03-02-12
  We need to spend less money, not more money! Frankly, as much as I usually love to say, "Told you so!" I'm getting mighty sick and tired of it in connection with "Obamacare."
• Students Protest Valedictorian's Deportation Order 03-02-12
  It's clear that the subject of the order is smart, and apparently a decent human being as well. But I maintain that, even if you weren't the one who robbed the bank, you shouldn't be allowed to keep the money the bad guy handed to you. And the same is true here. She's the beneficiary of a criminal act. While I don't believe she should be punished for something she didn't do, I also don't believe that reaping a reward is appropriate. Sorry. (As an aside, I'd suggest she quickly apply to come back to the country as a legal immigrant. She's the kind of person we want to move here!)
• COMMENTARY The Criminal Investigation 03-02-12
  Agreed, right down the line.
• COMMENTARY Is this Obama's final solution? 03-02-12
  Maybe. I suspect has has more. But be tht as it may, will "Obamacare" be the "final solution" for this country? Oh, yeah...
• Sheriff Joe: "Probable cause" Obama certificate a fraud 03-01-12
  Gee, yah think? Still, it's good to see the results of a legitimate legal investigation bolstering those who've had questions all along! I'd note that the media has thoroughly delved into the past acts and lives of the GOP candidates even as it's quite literally addressed nothing where Barack Obama is concerned. Maybe the media ought to get involved, too. They're pretty good at what they do—they just need to concentrate on news and disregard their unethical biases!

• Romney's new tax proposals add $3.4 trillion to deficit 02-29-12
  I'm all for lower taxes. But to accompany them must come curbs on government spending. Mitt Romney can tout his "conservative" bent all he likes, but it's proposals like this one that make me disinclined to believe him!
• EDITORIAL Real voting issues not addressed 02-28-12
  I'm entirely in favor of voter ID laws in Mississippi and anywhere else they can be passed. But this column points out a glaring flaw: Absentee ballots and a lack of control over them. I agree entirely that, to solve the problem of fraudulent votes, that form of balloting must also be addressed, and sooner rather than later.

Leap Day

• COMMENTARY The Myth of Romney 02-29-12
  Valid points all. In fact, the only thing with which I disagree is that, should Romney end up as the nominee, we should give up because he can't win. The bottom line is this: The winner in November's Presidential contest must, for the sake of our country and liberty itself, be Anybody But Obama!
• COMMENTARY Gangster Governments, and Sakharov's Immunity 02-29-12
  The writer of this particular column happens to be Matthew Bracken, the same man who wrote one of my favorite "freedom fiction" books, Enemies Foreign and Domestic. I don't think he's any happier than I am that his book is turning out to be quite literally more plausible by the day!

• BLOG ENTRY 55 Interesting Facts About the U.S. Economy in 2012 02-28-12
  Alternatively, you might call this column "55 Reasons We Must Vote for Real Change in 2012."
• BLOG ENTRY Not one more dollar! 02-28-12
  When you consider the story above, this blog entry becomes even more pertinent, and the lack of action even by those who assured us that they would act during their election campaigns becomes even more egregious!
• BLOG ENTRY Hey, Tea Party: Here Are Seven Reasons Why You'll End Up
  Hating Rick Santorum 02-28-12
  Sorry to say, there are some valid points here... (If you really want to be a sort of bizarre combination of amused/confused/appalled, continue on at the end of the examples by clicking the link to some of the things Santorum is quoted as saying in the past.)
• BLOG ENTRY Obama attacks the military again 02-28-12
  This, in a nutshell, shows what the President thinks of national security, national sovereignty, individual liberty, and an overwhelmingly bloated government. In order: othing, nothing, nothing, and everything. For more of this appalling disrespect for (and outright harm to) our fighting men and women, see Obama To Cut Healthcare For Troops.
• COMMENTARY Ginsburg Likes Use of Foreign Law 02-28-12
  You know how Justices are supposed to recuse themselves on cases where they've an inherent bias? (Pay attention, Elana Kagan!) Well, as far as I'm concerned, Ginsburg has thoroughly disqualified herself from hearing any and every case before the court! Her bias against the Constitution she's sworn to uphold is patently obvious.
• BLOG ENTRY ACTA: the Internet Censorship "Law" That Can Not Be Repealed? 02-26-12
  A treaty via Executive Order? Really? I don't know that this needs to be repealed when I don't know that the President had the authority to just sign a piece of paper and call the United States a participant. I'd dearly love to hear a Constitutional expert address that particular aspect of this latest end-run around Congress!
