Barack Obama: The Antimatter Man

May 11th, 2009 · No Comments · AIG, Antimatter, Ayn Rand, Barack Obama, Constitution, Ron Paul

In anticipation of the new Ron Howard film due to be released later this month, I’ve been re-reading Dan Brown’s book Angels & Demons.
I wouldn’t say Brown is a tremendously clever writer. Frankly, I think he’s little more than a competent storyteller. But what he does better than most is combine historical and scientific fact [...]

O The Irony! Amazon Bestseller List Mirrors Political Split in America

April 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Barack Obama, Bible, Bill Ayers, Constitution, Hugo Chavez, Mark R. Levin, Marxism, Tea Party

I find it fascinating that the top two books on Amazon today are:
1. A pro-America book called Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, by Mark R. Levin, and
2. An anti-America book called Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent, by Eduardo Galeano
The Press is alternately downplaying and [...]

Liberty and Tyranny Is a Must-Read Classic!

March 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Constitution, Founding Fathers, Human Rights, Mark R. Levin

Mark R. Levin’s latest book (released today, March 24) floored me from the first chapter. If I was the kind of person who liked to highlight or underline important, cool, or exceptionally well-worded passages, Liberty and Tyranny would look like a college textbook the night before an exam.
Simply put: This is the best book [...]

Just Another Day in the Washington Asylum

March 24th, 2009 · No Comments · AIG, Bailouts, Barack Obama, BonusGate, Chris Dodd, Constitution

Two credibility-stretching stories making headlines today.

A few points to ponder:
1. Obama and his reckless administration (which includes House members Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi and others) knew about the AIG bonuses long before they expressed phony indignation over them. Chris Dodd recently admitted he was behind the bonus wording in the bailout bill [...]

ALERT: “Bill of Attainder” Wiki Entry Under Attack!

March 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · AIG, Bill of Attainder, BonusGate, Constitution, Wiki

Since March 20, when news broke of the House vote to tax bonuses (at a 90% rate) paid to AIG executives, the Wiki article explaining what a Bill of Attainder is has been under attack, and in nearly constant revision, by editors from both sides of the political spectrum.
Quick Background On AIG Bonus Taxation Bill

Mob Rule

March 20th, 2009 · No Comments · AIG, Ayn Rand, BonusGate, Constitution, Federal Reserve, Media Bias, Money, Politics, Pork, Ron Paul

I wonder if the employees of AIG who are harmed (in their person or their property) can sue Congress or the Attorney General of the state of New York when the mobs that were stirred up against them succeed?
Google “AIG Mobs” and you’ll see what Congress and the willing media have wrought.
Or read the story [...]

Ron Paul: Bill to Tax Bonuses Unconstitutional

March 19th, 2009 · No Comments · AIG, Bailouts, BonusGate, Constitution, Ron Paul

Doesn’t matter what the issue is, when Congressman Ron Paul rises to speak on the House floor, he is always the voice of reason, truth, and sanity. If this man was President (and why isn’t he?), America would be the nation it once was.
This story was just posted at Raw Story:
Paul: Bill to tax bonuses [...]

We Have Met the Enemy And…

March 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Alan Keyes, Bible, Constitution, Founding Fathers, Politics

This is a slightly different blog post for me.
It touches on a subject matter that I don’t often mention – religion. (Ayn Rand is probably spinning in her grave at the mere mention of the word. But that’s where she and I part ways philosophically.)
There’s a quote from John Adams (“Our Constitution was made only [...]

What If the American People Learn the Truth? (This Video Gave Me Chills!)

February 13th, 2009 · No Comments · Constitution, Economics, Ron Paul

Watch this very short clip of Ron Paul standing before members of Congress on February 12, 2009.
Listen to what he says.
Can you imagine any other leader in Washington saying these things, not to mention everything else Ron Paul has said to his colleagues (and to the American people) over the last few months?
This man has [...]

Congressman Ron Paul Introduces Legislation to Abolish the Federal Reserve

February 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Constitution, Economics, Federal Reserve, Ron Paul

Forget the bogus “stimulus” bill. This is what America needs to solve its economic crisis.
It is from a speech Ron Paul gave on the floor of the House five days ago and found on this site. You will never read anything more absolutely rock-solid truthful from a member of Congress. This is truth with a [...]
