Nationwide Tea Party Coalition Accepts Obama’s Tepid Invitation

Remember when Obama said he didn’t know anything about the tea parties when he was jetting around Europe apologizing to the world leaders fro America’s arrogance? On April 15, the White House said that Obama was “unaware” of the protests. We all knew that was crap. Of course he knew. He’s too arrogant not to [...]

Gasp! Arlen Specter is a Democrat!

So what if Arlen Specter changes parties? It’s not like he voted with Republicans anyway. It’s not like there is that much of a difference between Republicans and Democrats these days. For the last 20 years they’ve all been pretty much the same big government, big spending party. What we need is a new party [...]

Cheney is Right: Release the Rest of the Documents

Obama Orders Government to Buy GM Cars

This is unbelievable. The taxpayers have already spent billions on General Motors to bail them out. A company that should have been left to die. A company that sells very few vehicles that anybody even wants to buy. But no, the government decides stealing from the taxpayers is not enough. No, they decide to purchase [...]

Walgreens to Offer Free Health Care to Jobless and Uninsured

The markets usually move to solve solutions if the government stays out of the way. Walgreens is taking a bold move to offer free health checks for the jobless and uninsured through the end of the year. The only stipulation is that the drugs are not free. I love this idea. If this can take [...]

Polls Show Obama Approval Still Up – Indicates Americans Willing to Give Up Freedoms

Media outlets love polls. Politicians love them as well. They help shore up agendas. Polling data has become a science and it seems to me much depends on who you ask, when you ask and where you ask. For instance, if I was bent to the left and wanted to know if Obama was doing [...]

Government Better Hope Public Private Investment Program Works

The market rallies 500 points today. Why? Partly because Tim Geithner’s plan does not wholly suck. The market sort of breathed a sigh of relief that the plan was deployed and it was exactly what the market expected.
