Observation of the Day – DaTechGuy

In his post on the TEA Party vs Occupy, DaTechGuy has it pretty well nailed down: OK you got one side cold cocking cops and the other side [is] beating sitting senators at the polls. Tell me which movement has a future again? Let’s also add in all the violence, the lawbreaking, and the defecating … Read more

Second Amendment humor, courtesy of the Concord Monitor!

Concord Monitor comes over to our side, approves concealed carry!

This is so funny!  What appears below is a column from today’s New Hampshire government-newspaper, the Concord Monitor. I glanced at the top of the top of the column and though “Hey, great! My friend—the excellent Rep. JR Hoell—has written an interesting piece about 2nd Amendment concealed carry for everyone!” So I happily read the excellent column…

Norovirus Source – Reusable Grocery Bag

Remember when I wrote about LA looking to ban paper and plastic grocery bags?I included this quote… Coliform bacteria, suggesting raw-meat or uncooked-food contamination, was in half of the bags, and E. coliwas found in 12 percent of the bags. Running the bags through a washer or cleaning them by hand reduced bacteria levels to … Read more

Notable Quote – Dr. Arthur Brooks

What is free enterprise? It is the system of values and laws that respects private property and limits government, encourages competition and industry, celebrates achievement based on merit, and creates individual opportunity. Under free enterprise, people can pursue their own ends, and they reap the rewards and consequences, positive and negative, of their own actions. … Read more

Data Point – Long term unemployment

President Obama has blamed his predecessor, President Bush, for three and a half years on the economy “we inherited”.  Thoughts: I don’t remember President Reagan complaining suchly about his predecessor, President Jimmy Carter And for such a brilliant man (Punahoe, Columbia, Harvard), is this an admission that he is not a sufficiently good enough manager … Read more

TEA Party – not dead but more like the political hit man the opposition never sees coming

Certainly it is a talking point of the Democrat, the Obama campaign, and the MSM that the TEA Party is “old news” and can be ignored.  However, as Steve pointed out, that “conventional political wisdom” is dead wrong.  Me?  I think that they JUST want people to think that – frankly, I do believe that they are terrified that events are slipping away from them. Oh, they know full well that the TEA Party is around – and not just kicking but simply like most middle class / working class folk do in flyover country – see a job to be done, not waiting for someone else to do the job, and putting their work ethic in gear to get that job done.

Most of us just quietly go about the job now – the emotional events are done as those were just the intentions.  Unlike Libs for whom “intentions” are the most important issue and raison d’etre, most Conservatives concentrate on the actual results.  And 2010 saw those intentions turned into concrete results in a big way.  Seeing Dick Lugar ousted by the TEA Party, a 35 year incumbent with tons of seniority, shows that there is steel in the TEA Party spine: Principle over Politics.  The Triple threat of the TEA Party principles – free markets, fiscal frugality, Constitutional governance – overrode any thoughts of keeping pure political power.

See what happens when you let ‘the folk’ actually decide the big social issues?

Courts in multiple states have oft been the agency by which gay marriage has forced upon the residents of those states – the rest have been by Legislatures that oft have been bombarded by “gay money” advocacy groups as we saw here in NH.

Let the people vote?  All the people – where the votes cannot be bought?  They continue to reject it.  Tonite, North Carolina residents just passed an Amendment to their Constitution that legally declares that Marriage is the union of one man and one woman.  That would be 31 States that have enacted such an amendment.  That would be a majority of the States, if my math is still correct.

“Oh, that’s because it’s full of bigots in that Bible Belt state – those Conservative backward looking, knuckle dragging, rednecks that don’t get with the inevitable” will be the excuse.

Woohoo! National Association of Gals (“NAG”) attacks Rush Limbaugh…

…Rush counterattacks with “Rush Babes for America,” announced today. If you’re a conservative, libertarian, Tea Partier, Movement Conservative, 9/12er, Patriot, libertarian-conservative, Constitutionalist, or right-anarchist female, go there and LIKE it! 

(“NAG,” by the way, is the alternative name for the so-called National Organization for Womyn, a left-wing, statist, anti-American, collectivist, anti-male and anti-women organization…for Witches only! Heh! And LOL!)

Oh! One other thing. This from a posting in the Advice Goddess Blog: “The last smart feminist was Camille Paglia. Since then, its been idiocy, entitlement, and self pitying women as victims whining. If you ever want cheap free entertainment, call an outspoken feminist an annoying wench and watch her burst into flames.”

Camille Paglia? Here’s what she said about Rush Limbaugh during his 2009 drug addiction episode:
