August 21st, 2008 at 5:04 am » Comments (0)

I took some time in the wee hours of the morning yesterday and thought about how the American liberal must live under the constant stress of hypocrisy. It is no wonder liberals are as uptight as they are. Think about it for just a moment and you’ll see where I’m coming from.

As the Do-Nothing Congress vacations, oil prices are falling, gold prices are falling, and the dollar is becoming stronger. What?!? The oil companies weren’t to blame? OH THE HUMANITY!
From the Associated Press via Yahoo Finance:
Light, sweet crude dropped $1.24 to settle at $113.77 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, and earlier traded as [...]



Pelosi Invested In Pickens’ Wind Energy Corps; Possibly Dangerous to Health

August 14th, 2008 at 2:26 pm » Comments (1)

For a few weeks now we’ve been bombarded on radio and television by ads paid for and staring T. Boone Pickens, life-long oilman and heavy investor in natural gas and of all things - wind energy. It seems that if the Pickens plan were to be fully implemented by the people of the US ‘ol [...]



While the Dem-Cong Vacations - Oil Bubble Bursts? How Can That Be?

August 8th, 2008 at 3:06 pm » Comments (0)

As Congressional Democrats take their much deserved late summer recess, oil prices begin a decline; the question is - why?
Oil speculation wasn’t the Dems first villain, it was big oil and profits. BUT according to recent reports, a stronger dollar is being given partial credit for the rebound. Hmmm - the free-market at work. [...]

I’ll tell you where they are… ON VACATION!
I’m taking time out from caring for my premature special needs newborn daughter because I am furious over the actions of Congressional Democrats and the ignorant rhetoric from Barack Hussein Obama.
Mr. Obama had the audacity to call anyone who points out the stupidity of his insistence that Americans [...]

via email FROM House Minority Leader John Boehner (R OH-8)
WASHINGTON DC - It’s no wonder that just 14 percent of the American public believes that Congress is doing a good job with such cynical moves as the recent vote on the ill-named “Drill Now” Act. This bill was the Democratic Majority’s answer to [...]

What Recession?

July 16th, 2008 at 4:19 pm » Comments (0)

I keep hearing of our economy being in recession. What a bunch of bull. A recession is defined by 2 or more consecutive quarters of negative growth. To this point, we haven’t had 1 quarter of negative growth let alone 2 consecutive quarters. So no recession exists.
I do admit, there is a slowing in our [...]

Reagan combined tax cuts with deregulation to create the longest sustained period of economic growth in American history.

Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama are suspiciously silent on the subject of the North American Free Trade Agreement as they stump across the Lone Star State. This after bad mouthing the international treaty while in Ohio. Hussein Obama wants to end the treaty and Hillary wants to “re-negotiate” according to their Ohio [...]



Mr. President, WE NEED A TAX BREAK…

… on gasoline. Higher motor fuel prices raises prices across the board. With the predictions of $4 per gallon gasoline being discussed, isn’t it about time that the government give the American people a break that we’ll see not only at the pump, but at the supermarket checkout?
The federal excise tax on gasoline is 18.4 [...]
