Joseph asks: It’s not a direct tax to every citizen, but the power plants that get taxed will pass the tax increase off to consumers. Is this a tax increase across the board. Also, is this not an unfair tax, considering that in Texas, they have the constant wind needed to push wind mills,...

Lamar Alexander and Dick Durbin, the Tax Tag Team “Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation.

After last year’s shooting in Tucson, Arizona that killed six people and wounded twelve others including Rep Gabrielle Giffords, Congress started work on a bill that would help protect politicians. With little fanfare, HR 347 was passed by the House and Senate and signed into law this week by President Barack Obama. The official White...
Some time ago a young 23 month old boy from Jackson accidentally choked while at my church, Lambuth Memorial Preschool, and passed away while at Vanderbilt hospital.

One of my all-time favorite pieces of literature is this section from Friedrich Schiller’s William Tell: “By this fair light which greeteth us, before Those other nations, that, beneath us far, In noisome cities pent, draw painful breath, Swear we the oath of our confederacy! A band of brothers true we swear to be,...

Can’t help but mark this one up as sarcastic humor! By ALLYSIA FINLEY Dear President Obama, Can you believe the nerve of employers? Many of them still seem to think that they should be allowed to determine the benefits they offer. I guess they haven’t read your 2,000-page health law. It’s the government’s job...
By James Kirkpatrickon March 12, 2012 at 1:45am The late, great paleoconservative columnist Sam Francis called conservatism “the movement that doesn’t move.” He was wrong. The Establishment conservative movement moves backwards—shamelessly, unrepentantly, and proclaiming each new defeat a glorious victory. And, perhaps...

The Southern Poverty Law Center is once again out with its annual screeching of the number of patriot groups in the US.

There is an African proverb which goes like this: A wise man never knows all, only fools know everything. I have mentioned before that all of us are leaders–we are all influencing someone, someplace, somehow. Because all things rise and fall on leadership, I feel we should be on an unending pursuit to learn...
Hebrews 12:1 The army of Alexander the Great was advancing on Persia. At one critical point, it appeared that his troops might be defeated. The soldiers had taken so much plunder from their previous campaigns that they had become weighted down and were losing their effectiveness in combat. Alexander commanded that all the spoils...

By David Limbaugh Now hear this: No Republicans on the national political scene, including Rick Santorum, threaten our religious liberty.

GOA petitions the House Speaker to move the Gosar Resolution It’s becoming obvious that the corrupt, virulently anti-gun Attorney General Eric Holder thinks he can stonewall Congress in connection with his cover-up of the Fast & Furious Operation.

Political Futures “Many people are looking to the many primary elections on March 6th — ‘Super Tuesday’ — to clarify where this year’s Republican nomination campaign is headed.

It’s amazing to me how people who claim they don’t trust the media will still parrot their sound bites as though they were facts. If they lied about Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Mohamar Kadafi, et al (and they did), why would they make an exception for Ahmadinejad and tell the truth about him?...
Around the turn of the millennium I had the privilege of tutoring a woman from Iran in assembler, a low- (i.e. closer to machine-) level computer language that isn’t user friendly, but appeals to some geeks and is a part of some college computer courses.

Gun Owners of America today sent an Open Letter to Gov. Mitt Romney, asking him — yet again — to submit his survey responses to GOA.
“We sent you a questionnaire not once, not twice but three times now,” said GOA Vice Chairman Tim Macy.
“What did you send back? A form letter stating you are pro-Second Amendment — with absolutely nothing to back up this laughable claim. As Governor, you were proudly anti-Second Amendment, but as you have with most issues, you have now changed your stripes to spots.”
GOA has posted a description of Romney’s Second Amendment record at: http://gunowners.org/mittromney-2012.htm
In this analysis, you will see his past support for all of Massachusetts’ strict gun control laws, including his support for semi-auto bans and waiting periods.
Mitt Romney said in a recent speech that he was “severely conservative” as Governor of Massachusetts. But if that’s true, then why is he steadfastly refusing to answer the Gun Owners of America questionnaire on Second Amendment issues?
GOA’s Tim Macy asks: “Do you want to clear up this possible misconception I (and most members of Gun Owners of America) have about you? If you do, then call me at (916) 984-1400. Even better, why don’t you fill out one of the THREE GOA questionnaires we’ve sent to you so that millions of American gun owners will know where you stand?”
GOA would ask its members to forward our open letter — which can be read at http://gunowners.org/open-letter-romney.htm — to Gov. Romney.
You may contact Mitt Romney at:
Please let us know of any response you get from Gov. Romney. And be sure to forward the Open Letter to your friends and family
Because Americans seem to have been conditioned to think only in terms of short term self-interest, to mentally follow through an idea to its logical conclusion is foreign to them. A couple of commercials in recent years illustrating the lighter side of the latter include one wherein two strangers, a man and woman briefly...
Kudos & high fives to Chick-fil-A It’s Chick-fil-A vs. the New York Times. Chick-fil-A is an American success story.

Obama and Romney lay out tax plans The tax proposals of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney serve as alternative visions for the nation. Obama’s stifles growth through higher rates on the productive and pays lip service to “fairness” and “fiscal responsibility.” Romney’s enables growth and builds upon the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and...
