Tom Coburn – A True American Patriot

This is why we need more people like Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) serving in our Congress, in our state legislatures, and in our local government.  Unlike too many of those in the current GOP leadership of both houses, Sen. Coburn is willing to take a stand and stick to his guns.

We need more Tom Coburns, more Jim DeMints, more Mike Pences and Jeff Flakes.  True patriots won’t cut a backroom deal with our nation’s enemies.  Note that Tom Coburn actually worked WITH Sen. Barack Obama in the Senate on several pieces of legislation.  With people like Tom Coburn, it’s not about partisanship; it’s about DOING WHAT’S RIGHT!

Who’s Your Corporate Daddy

Barack Obama lectures the Supreme Court (and lies while doing so).  Lefties throughout the land whine about “special interest” money.  Maryland Dem chairwoman Susan Turnbull even has the gall to rail against the “Citizens United” decision.  Yet, MDDEM’s couldn’t survive without corporate and union cash.

Maryland Democrats … How’s that hypocrisy thing going?

Thanks to Red Maryland for this excellent video.

A “Prebuttal” to O’Malley’s Groundhog Day Speech

Today, Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley will deliver his annual “State of the State” speech.  Brian Griffiths and Red Maryland have put together a “prebuttal” to O’Malley’s address:

Ironically, O’Malley has chosen to deliver his address on Groundhog Day.  Griffiths draws an appropriate parallel between O’Malley and the Bill Murray film Groundhog Day.  If you remember, the premise of the film is that Murray’s character lives the same day over, over, and over again.

Under O’Malley, Maryland citizens have endured the same things over, over, and over again.  We have suffered the same:

• Excuses
• Calls for Tax Increases
• Calls for Expanded Government Services

Bob McDonnell – Expressing America’s TRUE Values

On Wednesday Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell delivered the GOP response to Barack Obama’s 2010 State of the Union address.  You can view the speech here:

McDonnell’s message will prove important because he expressed the ideas upon which this great nation were founded and those ideas which have made our nation the greatest on earth.  While Obama wishes to continue throwing hard earned tax dollars (and even more money borrowed from the likes of Communist China) at problems, McDonnell’s message was one of self-reliance, self-sacrifice, liberty, and innovation:

Good government policy should spur economic growth, and strengthen the private sector’s ability to create new jobs.  We must enact policies that promote entrepreneurship and innovation, so America can better compete with the world.  What government should not do is pile on more taxation, regulation, and litigation that kill jobs and hurt the middle class.  It was Thomas Jefferson who called for “A wise and frugal Government which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry ….and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned…” He was right.

Today, the federal government is simply trying to do too much.

While most Democrats and far too many Republicans seek enhanced personal and corporate power through the overreaching hand of government, McDonnell’s message was one reminiscent of Ronald Reagan:

Obama Coming to Charm City

President Barack Obama will be paying a visit to Baltimore Friday.  Obama is scheduled to visit an unidentified small business and address a retreat of House Republicans.  Given that Congressional Dems seem to lock the GOP out of everything meaningful going on in Congress, I thought it was mighty kind of the Republicans to invite the left’s once upon a time messiah.

I was wondering if Obama was going to hand out any “cash from his stash” while visiting Charm City.

Who’s Lying About Health Care?

Americans were promised a TRANSPARENT process in health care reform:

What did Americans receive?  Senate Republicans literally being locked out of the negotiations.  BRIBERY for votes from the likes of Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA).  And now a secret backroom deal to reconcile the House and Senate bills.

In other words … we got OBAMACARE!

One More Reason For Limited Government … FEMA

Here is a video of a FEMA official instructing police officers that Christians and our nation’s founders were TERRORISTS!

Thomas Jefferson never fired a shot in anger during the Revolutionary War.  George Washington never ordered the assassination of anyone.  YET, these people who preached LIBERTY and LIMITED GOVERNMENT are deemed TERRORISTS by some nameless, faceless government bureaucrat.

Janet Napolitano – PLEASE Make Up Your Mind

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano just can’t seem to make up her mind.  Did the system work in stopping the Christmas airline bomber?  … or didn’t it?

It all depends on what day it is I guess.  Here’s Secretary Napolitano on Sunday:

 

Here’s Napolitano Monday:

 

"The system worked". "The system obviously didn’t work". I was taken "out of context". Passengers having to defend THEMSELVES doesn’t seem like a workable system to me … unless the Obama administration is willing to adopt "right to carry" on commercial flights.

Wasteful Spending at Post Office Just Pre-cursor to ObamaCare

Appearing last week on FOXNews, former Virginia Governor George Allen outlines how profligacy at the US Postal Service is simply a small example of what we’ll see under ObamaCare.

 

When you hand over 1/6 of the nation’s economy to a group of people with no accountability (government employees), what else do you expect.  As governor, Allen and his team forced state government to be responsive to taxpayers.  Little wonder many civil servants whined about his administration for years.  Do any of us believe that federal employees will be responsive to our health care needs?

45 Years Later – It’s Still “A Time For Choosing”

Originally broadcast 45 years ago, Reagan’s words are as true today as they were then.  Sure, the Soviet Union has fallen (thanks to him).  Sure, tax rates are a little lower (again, thanks to him).  However, the ideas that an ex-Democrat spoke of 45 years still hold true.

With Barack Obama and a leftist-controlled Congress attempting to control every little part of our lives, NOW truly is “A Time for Choosing”.
