Alabamians becoming less interventionistic

Alabama may still be behind the rest of the country on the issue, but it’s nice to see more and more of us opposing a war fought for non-defensive purposes, which costs thousands of lives and billions of dollars and was based on false information.
In last week’s Press-Register/USA survey, 49 percent of respondents said the […]

A birthday present from Ron Paul

Today’s my birthday, and Ron Paul just published an article today that I think every American should read.  For those who wish to send me a present or birthday greetings, I’d much prefer that you spend the time reading this - and then passing it around.

Ed Thompson considering presidential bid

I’ve known about this for a while, but the cat was just let out of the bag in an e-mail blast from a supporter of Thompson’s previous political campaigns. The news is exciting, but unfortunately the 9/11 Truthers got hold of it first.
For those who don’t know him, Ed Thompson is incredibly popular locally, in […]

Deaths continue in Iraq; BS continues in DC

More deaths in Iraq, but who’s counting?  After all, the Democrats are in charge now and they can continue to politicize doing nothing for the sake of 2008 election results as opposed to doing the right thing.

Mitt Romney - 37
Duncan Hunter - 15
Rudy Giuliani - 13

Ron Paul supporters continue to spam, but no longer covered by the MSM

As you know, the mainstream media calls Ron Paul supporters a small collection of online spammers. It’s no surprise they missed this story about how the spammers spammed a local charity with food (note this was voluntary charity, not the government handout virtually all of the other presidential candidates support).
Below is a YouTube of […]

Peter McWilliams died seven years ago and Hinchey-Rohrabacher continues to die, too

I’m a bit behind on several issues, including the annual proposed amendment which allows for states’ rights with respect to medicinal marijuana prosecution. While the amendment gained two additional votes from last year’s total, the fact that most of the 42 new Democratic members of Congress voted against it speaks ill of Nancy Pelosi’s […]

Rudy Giuliani: Presidential candidate with the smallest cajones

It looks like Rudy Giuliani may be chickening out of the pending CNN/YouTube presidential debate much the same way he’s chickening out of the Iowa caucuses.
Plans for a CNN/YouTube debate for the GOP seemed to be falling apart Thursday after front-runner Rudy Giuliani said scheduling conflicts would keep him away from the planned Sept. 17 […]

Boobies making the political news, again

It looks like Hillary Clinton is trying to copy Loretta Nall. First, Hillary suddenly decided she’s against the war. Now, Hillary’s got her own “Flash for Cash” campaign. The graphic isn’t as racy, but the intent (no matter how they spin it) is more than obvious. From CNN:
Few political fundraising e-mails […]

Jesse Jackson makes one of the stupidest statements I’ve heard in my life

Most Americans are upset about the way Republicans have turned a War on Terrorism into a War on Civil Liberties.  It looks like the Democrats are now jumping on board the bandwagon.
What’s more, they sound even more ridiculous than the Republicans when they are leading the charge:
The Rev. Jesse Jackson has a nightmare that terrorists […]

GOP “Machine” pre-spinning a possible Ron Paul straw poll victory

In South Carolina, it looks like “they” are already making excuses in advance for what looks like may possibly be a Ron Paul victory in today’s straw poll.
A straw poll in Georgetown Saturday likely won’t be an accurate reflection of GOP voters in the Lowcountry county, but it means big bucks for the local Republican […]

The War on the Uninsured

Dan shows us that Alabama’s War on the Uninsured has had the same success level as other related government wars (i.e. the War on Drugs): None.
This provides an idea for the next government official who wishes to pronounce another War on ______: How about a War on Small Government? At least this way, politicians would […]

May Bloomberg rot in hell with most of the rest of the presidential candidates

If anyone has any doubt that Michael Bloomberg would be just as bad a president as the Democratic contenders and all but one of the Republicans, just check out this article.
Barr and a New York lawyer, John Renzulli, opened a double-barreled counterattack a year ago against Bloomberg. While Renzulli is challenging “jurisdiction” – the legality […]

Ain’t a dimes worth of difference…

Brian’s blog posting has raised a question.  Which is more laughable: Nancy Pelosi’s “Most ethical Congress ever” or when people call congressional Republicans fiscal conservatives?
Here a snapshot of Congressional ethics:
[Jeff Flake] questioned Democratic Rep. Peter J. Visclosky of Indiana on the House floor Tuesday about whether the Center for Instrumented Critical Infrastructure actually exists - […]
