She Calls Herself Fiscally Responsible

Posted on December 18, 2010 | 1 comment

Again with politicians making up language that fits their needs.

I once had an English teacher in high school.  We were reading “The Merchant of Venice”.  In the story, Shylock loses his estate due to a quirk of law.  On one of our tests, the English teachers asks the True or False question:

Shylock lost half of his estate due to his legal dealings with Antonio.

I answered, “False”.  After all, he lost the whole of the estate.

She marked it wrong, saying that if he lost ALL of his estate, certainly he lost half of it as well.

Words have meanings.

Funny To Watch

Posted on November 24, 2010 | Leave a comment

I am hard on Democrats.  And to be fair, I should really be more clear and rail against Liberals.  After all, I am SURE there are some decent minded Democrats out there.  The problem is, however, that Democrats are forced to keep supporting Liberals….and THAT makes me look at ’em sideways.

Anyway, the recent TSA hullaballu has me laughing at people.  And in this case, I’m mostly laughing at the Right.

Value Based Decisions

We make ’em every day.

Do we want this product knowing that if we buy it, we won’t be able to have that product.

This for that.

Is it worth it for me?

Tax Hikes and Tax Cuts

Posted on November 16, 2010 | 1 comment

Let’s get one thing straight.

We ALL agree that we ALL should pay SOME tax.

The government needs money to pay for things that governments do.

We can disagree about what a government should do and how much it costs that government to do it, but serious, we have to pay some form of tax.

That said, what we tax and how much we tax is a whole conversation that needs to be had.

The Tea Party and The Gay Vote

Posted on November 4, 2010 | 2 comments

Tuesday was powerful.  The shift in American politics was one not seen in 60 or more years.

In fact, if you go to the State level, the shift was so massive that it may literally have been unprecedented.  The number of State seats that shifted from the Democrats to the Republicans was devastating to the Democrats.  And it was virtually complete.

And behind the whole thing was the Tea Party.

Not the crazy loons the Left Wing trotted out in front of the news broadcasts to be sure.  But the disciplined message that we are focused on fiscal issues that impact the economy.

Liberty by Law.

What This Election Tidal Wave DOESN’T Mean

Posted on November 3, 2010 | Leave a comment

We killed ’em!  The Democrats were soundly beaten and the message has been sent:

“Not here, not now, not this way”.

So what does it mean?  What does this roar of the people mean to the Republicans in DC?

Lemme tell ya what I think it DOESN’T mean.

Election Eve – Good Times

Posted on November 1, 2010 | Leave a comment

It may be easy to say this year.  After all, the indications are that the Republicans are going to have a massive success.

That being said.  No matter what happens tomorrow, it is truly an amazing country we live in.

In all likely hood, we’ll be seeing a regime change right before our eyes.  Not one bullet will be shot.  Not one drop of blood dropped.

Amazing.

With that said:

State Sponsored Cheating

Posted on October 21, 2010 | 1 comment

Here is how Democrats win elections:

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — A public university in North Carolina is smarting after someone at the school sent an e-mail to students and employees urging them to vote early and help the Democratic Party.

The Winston-Salem Journal reported Wednesday the e-mail was sent from the student-affairs division to about 6,400 staffers and students at Winston-Salem State University.

Manipulating elections is only illegal if your not a Democrat.

Where I’d Start Cutting Budgets

Posted on October 6, 2010 | 2 comments

Look, I get it.  The new popularity of the conservative movement is that we have to reduce the size of the government.  We have to Spend Less, Tax Tess.  Reduce spending and reduce taxes.

I get it.  I do.

But we can NOT reduce taxes right now UNLESS we reduce spending.

Now, I AM a proponent of the idea that when taxes are raised it acts as an economic inhibitor.  That businesses will grow slower or even shrink.  That as taxes rise, the amount of money we bring in is actually less than the amount we could have brought in.

But there is a limit.

So, where would you cut?
