PandP highlights, through AEI.org, the costs for the average citizen in America for healthcare under the new system Obama is wanting to force upon us.  According to the article the average cost for a family around 100,000.00 a year income will be around $14,000.00.  Yep, dollars, not pesos.  Frankly, I can’t afford that. Nobody I [...]

As a former police detective who waded through far, far too many identity theft cases, the new Census and some of the questions are frankly disturbing to me.  First and foremost,  I am at a loss as to why the federal government’s need to count people and qualify/quantify who they are should include your names, [...]

At PandP they point out that David Brooks may be getting near the edge with the way Obama is ruling America.  Frankly, I think at best, he’s stumbled and scuffed his knee pads a little.  Why?  Brooks has simply swallowed the whole silly lie (and other things) that Obama is something extra special.   Here is [...]

Yes, I’m a big Star Trek fan from my youth on.  During one of the many spin offs the ultimate evil was introduced- The Borg.  Set on assimilating everything it encountered for the “good of the collective” the Borg were powerful, controlling and relentless.   I went online to get a clip of the Borg’s “resistance [...]

The key to the trust between authorities and civilians is that both sides understand there are rules you don’t break. The police have the right to arrest you, but only so you can have your day in court. The civilians submit to arrest assuming they’ll be treated fairly and will have their chance to defend [...]

This is fascinating and a good insight into the minds of constitutional lawyers.  The article is fairly well balanced, something amazing for Newsweek.  The authors point out that the strange bedfellows of gun right advocates and abortion advocates arguing together in the upcoming Supreme Court case is unusual on its face, but has some validity [...]

HOTAIR is run and directed by establishment Republicans.  As much as I respect their right to do so, they should hang a sign around their necks identifying themselves. “Oh we aren’t REALLY conservatives, just play them on the INTERNET when it promotes big establishment Republicans.”Without wasting time highlighting their newest old rant against Beck suffice [...]

Obviously, the guy is a nut.  It will be interesting to see what exactly the issue was, but there is some sort of a manifesto left behind about taxes.  First, and for the new version of the Carnivore program being run as we speak, this is wrong.  Targeting a building that has workers in it [...]

Read some of the comments.  Most people are fed up with this.  Is Obama a citizen?   At this point, who cares?  I know, some who read this are sputtering, but stay with me on this.  Let’s take a run down that rabbit hole for a second and see where it takes us.  Here are a [...]

Now I’m going off the NYT, a risk most of the time, but it seems there was a jobs bill on the table that both parties agreed to.  The bill was filled with pork-again.   According to reports I read, both sides has signed off.  It was Reid’s fear that the democrats would be hammered by [...]
