The Bad Guys Keep Coming

In spite of what is claimed by the administration, the Border is much more dangerous than it ever has been.

Drill Baby Drill

Obama says, “No, we can’t.”

We say, “Yes, we can. We must.”

MD Special Session? Gas Tax Hike? Again?

According to O’Malley. And Drudge Report picked up the story, too.

Will history repeat? Is this O’Malley’s last hurrah before he leaves the Governorship?

I’m not a betting man, but someone else may be.

This Man Knows

Senator Rubio.

He also knows how best to answer questions posed to him from Dick Gregory on Meet The Press.

Go, Senator!

Political Equivalent to Carl Sagan

Billions and billions.

Of money spent. To Brazilian oil. To Chinese wind turbines. To ACORN.

You have to stop, Barack. Your actions bely your words.

And we all know it – except you. And, apparently, your EPA cronies don’t care about us either.

I Thought This Is America

You know, Land of the Free and all that?

Since when is it the job of of the NLRB to tell a company where they can build a factory? And create jobs at that location?

Since when is it LEGAL for them to be so involved?

At first, this would mainly hurt right-to-work states, as they would no longer be able to lure new businesses from existing unionized firms. But over the long run, this policy would hurt unions and all Americans. Why would any domestic company choose to build a factory in a forced-union state if it knew that meant it could never expand to a right-to-work state? Why would any international firm invest anywhere in this country if it knew the White House would favor political allies?

And what is on WJS about this. (Unfortunately, one has to have an account to read the whole article.)

LEAKED: Obama Executive Order Intends to Implement Portions of DISCLOSE Act

It really is amazing — they lost in the Supreme Court, they lost in Congress, they lost at the FEC, so now the president is just going to do it by edict.

Read the whole thing. Now.

Executive Orders should be abolished and past orders negated. This is no way to run a (high speed) railroad.

Timing Is Everything

Hot Air has an excellent article and a video by FreedomWorks depicting current events and government policies against the backdrop of the just released movie, Atlas Shrugs Part 1.

At the moment, there are only three locations here in Maryland showing the movie. If you live in or near Annapolis, Gaithersburg or Bethesda, you have better luck than most of us to go see it.

There just might be more theaters showing this movie, if we are lucky.

POTUS Wants Congress Out of His Business

Funny, that.
Imagine, the Constitution keeps getting in his way.

One rider – Section 2262 — de-funds certain White House adviser positions – or “czars.” The president in his signing statement declares that he will not abide by it.

Is this Constitutional, or not? Sounds to me that our POTUS loves (too much) to show his temper with the people and our allies, but not our enemies (his friends?). He throws us into deep, deep debt, does not end the wars he has been against and starts a third.

Don’t know about anyone else, but this elected individual should never have been put into this job as POTUS. He keeps contradicting himself.

Come on 2012.

An aside but perhaps very telling.
