Obama’s behavior at State of the Union “very troubling” – Roberts
Mar0
“On the other hand, there is the issue of the setting, the circumstances and the decorum. The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while the court — according the requirements of protocol — has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling.” – Chief Justice John Roberts, March 9, 2010
Shows with gays could lose Florida tax credit
Mar0
A proposal that would increase current tax credits from two to five percent of productions costs for shows considered “family friendly.” This would not include shows that featured “gay characters.”
Florida, how about being “family friendly” by lowering taxes for everyone? Come on, this is as stupid as judging someone by the color of their skin or the color of their eyes.
14.9 million jobless. 12 million illegal immigrants. You do the math.
Mar0
The “funny” thing is that this article says there are “14.9 million jobless Americans” and there are approximately 12-15 million ILLEGAL immigrants (some say 11 million, some say 20 million). You do the math. Legal immigration is what built the country, do we really want to make people who start out as criminals citizens? Or do we want people who are law-abiding citizens?
The difference between a free society and a nation of parasites and hosts are bills like the health care bill.

Obama ends “leave internet alone” policy
Feb0
“The US government’s policy of leaving the Internet alone is over, according to Obama’s top official at the Department of Commerce.” Assistant Secretary Larry Strickling, The Register and see the NTIA presentation.
The internet is too powerful for governments that want to control the thoughts of their population to leave alone. Along with the extension of the Patriot Act (WashingtonPost.com), the Obama Administration arguing in Federal Court that there is no “reasonable expectation of privacy” on cell phones – funny, we missed the ACLU, EFF, and the press having conniptions about the Democrat controlled Congress and Democrat President signing the extension – Washington has a nice tight grip on the communications of the country.
But, it is nice to have “government oversight” over everything – you wouldn’t want to do something without permission would you?
Obama on why Democrats had twice as much time to speak-”Because I’m the President…I didn’t count my time in terms of dividing it evenly.”
Feb0
You’re right, uh, there was an imbalance on the opening statements because I’m the President and so I made, uh, I didn’t, I didn’t count my time in terms of dividing it evenly. President Obama, February 25, 2010, 11:43am EST.
Parasites vs Freedom debate today in Washington
Feb0
The televised debate today between the parasites and those who want freedom will be taking place to day in Washington, DC. One can only hope that freedom prevails. If the “center” is between freedom and statism then who wants to be in the center? There is no “middle ground” between you and your enslavers. There is no middle ground between you and your destroyers.
One wonders why these people don’t want to take responsibility for themselves and expect to be treated as children who need to be taken care of by someone else.
Saying “no” is admirable if it is pro-liberty.
Feb0
Saying “no” is a moral imperative to protect the freedom guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Saying “no” is admirable if it is pro-liberty. Compromising your principles when the result is a loss of freedom for the country is immoral and a violation of Congress’ oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.
Obama is ‘beginning to not be believable to me.’
Feb0
“He says ‘I’m for clean coal,’ and then he says it in his speeches, but he doesn’t say it in here. And he doesn’t say it in the minds of my own people. And he’s beginning to not be believable to me.” ” Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia. RealClearPolitics.com
Lech Walesa’s warning to America about world leadership
Feb0
The United States is only one superpower. Today they lead the world. Nobody has doubts about it. Militarily. They also lead economically but they’re getting weak. But they don’t lead morally and politically anymore. The world has no leadership. The United States was always the last resort and hope for all other nations. There was the hope, whenever something was going wrong, one could count on the United States. Today, we lost that hope.
