If you find yourself on the Conservative end of the political spectrum, this is pretty amusing. If not, you'll roll your eyes and probably won't finish watching it, because it won't be funny to you. Either way, Conservatives: enjoy it. Liberals: learn to laugh at yourselves once in a while. … [Read more...]
Proud Democrat indeed…
February 7, 2013 by 7 Comments
I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt and assume that this is someone posing as a "Proud Democrat". Of course it would be easier to give that benefit if I didn't know people (not necessarily Democrats) who were this... let's just say, special. Either way, this person cancels out someone's … [Read more...]
On the road to Utopia
February 1, 2013 by 11 Comments
I snapped these photos whilst out and about not long ago. It really sheds light on the mindset of the person who would re-elect President Obama to a second term given the abysmal conditions with which we find our nation. Mind you, the bumper stickers have been on this vehicle for at least three … [Read more...]
NY Democrats oppose preventing welfare being spent on alcohol, porn, and other vices
January 8, 2013 by 4 Comments
As if I needed yet another reason to dislike Democrats: (NY Post) -- Democratic state lawmakers, led by Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, have blocked welfare-reform legislation that would end “sinful spending” by preventing people receiving government benefits from withdrawing taxpayer-funded cash … [Read more...]
Taxing the poor
January 8, 2013 by 7 Comments
For all the hub-bub we hear about taxing the rich, we routinely overlook the degree to which the poor are taxed. The "taxes" on the poor, however, aren't generally thought of as taxes on the poor. What I'm talking about is state run lotteries and cigarette taxes. Of course, these revenues aren't … [Read more...]
President Obama: Let them eat cake
January 5, 2013 by 4 Comments
Just yesterday #WhyIsMyPaycheckLowerThisWeek was trending on Twitter for a while. It's no secret why that is, the President just signed a bill effectively raising taxes on the "richest" 77% of Americans (basically anyone with a job). The fact that every working family is feeling the pinch of the … [Read more...]
President Obama: Warrior for the middle class…maybe
January 4, 2013 by 3 Comments
For all the talk about Democrats generally, and the President specifically being champions for the middle class, they refused to even vote on a bill which would have exempted 99% of American taxpayers from the looming "fiscal cliff". No, instead, before they would finally support a tax increase … [Read more...]

2012 has been quite the ride. The economy has been in the tank for the past four year and half the country didn't notice, or they didn't care. Zero Hedge has compiled a list of 75 reasons Barack Obama didn't deserve your vote. Here are a few: #1 In December 2008, 31.6 million Americans were on … [Read more...]
How would you cut the deficit?
December 11, 2012 by 7 Comments
The Wall Street Journal has devised an interactive tool where you can apply certain tax increases, cuts to spending, and cuts to benefits and entitlements. The tool can be found HERE. I was able to come up with an estimated $6 billion surplus from the currently projected $1.1 trillion … [Read more...]
UPDATE: Teacher’s union: the rich urinate on the poor
December 6, 2012 by 4 Comments
Despite record unemployment, debt, deficits, and spending President Barack Obama won re-election. How was this possible? The answer is simple really. He was able to convince enough people that the message offered in this video is … [Read more...]
Why demonize the rich? I think I know why
December 5, 2012 by 89 Comments
The liberal message of tax the rich has been in high gear for the past three to four years, and ramped up significantly over the course of the presidential campaign season. The mantra that the wealthy don't pay enough, let alone their "fair share" is inescapable. Though I'm not one to buy into … [Read more...]
Fun with Twitter: Debating Liberals
December 1, 2012 by 2 Comments
As far back as I can remember, I've always found some joy in annoying smug people. They can be easily found hanging around websites like the Daily Kos, MSNBC, Democratic Underground, Think Progress... seeing a pattern here? I happened across a tweet made by MSNBC, you know the kind: propaganda … [Read more...]
Good and Bad: My Outlook on the Next Four Years
November 7, 2012 by 25 Comments
OK, so after some time to let the dust settle and having dismantled the noose from my basement rafters, I think we can see some good news and bad news about the next four years. I certainly don't think the hyper-Conservative outlook of America morphing into a North Korea-esque full on … [Read more...]
On why I’d vote for Reagan’s corpse if I could
November 5, 2012 by 4 Comments
__________________________________________________ Isn't it something how history has a way of repeating itself over time? All it took was about thirty years or so for us to need a modern version of Ronald Reagan to save us from a modern version of Jimmah Carter. Listening to Reagan's recount … [Read more...]
Was Jesus an evil capitalist?

(Matthew 20:1-15 NASB) -- “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing … [Read more...]
Why raising taxes on the wealthy doesn’t increase revenue
October 11, 2012 by 6 Comments
There will always be people who are envious of those who have more than they do. Some people, such as the president, believe taxes ought to be raised on the wealthy even though he knows it has a negative effect on the tax revenues to the government. As we speak, the amount of government debt is … [Read more...]
Why we don’t need teacher’s unions: reason #1301
October 1, 2012 by 17 Comments
As the member of a large national government employment union I can say public employment unions are a cancer to their employers. 75% of the function of a public employee union's role is ensuring inept employees don't get fired for their incompetence. The other 25% of their time is consumed … [Read more...]
Even a cartoon rat can recognize the problem is government
September 23, 2012 by 13 Comments
Generally speaking, there are two reasons why the cost of doing business is as high as it is: Lawyers arguing that people are too dumb to make good decisions, and a Government who is willing to make legislation agreeing with the lawyers. Because lawyers have convinced enough juries and legislators … [Read more...]
Sadly, this is how many people think about politics
September 23, 2012 by 4 Comments
It goes without saying that the Simpsons show leans left when it covers politics. It doesn't bother me, I've come to expect it from television. But what I find so sad is that there are voters out there who think in a similar fashion to Homer in this clip. Regardless of which candidate for whom … [Read more...]
A tax increase I support
July 26, 2012 by 10 Comments
Over the weekend my family and I were at the beach enjoying the weather when a local man drove by with his trailer in tow playing patriotic music from external speakers. This isn't really odd in my town, he's been doing it for a few years. The trailer is a moving billboard of sorts, basically … [Read more...]
