The R Word

Really. (No, not that one.) Racism. Yes, that old ploy.

I point you to Don Surber’s recent, and excellent, post on this very topic.

Who uses it as a crutch, who gets it thrown at them and who understands nothing about the reality.

Go, Don, go! Nobody does it better.

Allen West Tells Liberals Where To Go

Emily Has Yet To Get Her Gun

This Washington Times article is part of a series where Emily Miller is attempting to purchase and obtain a handgun that meets the criteria specified by D.C. lawmakers.

This might make one decide whether to live in, or leave, our nations Capital.

Sheesh. So much for the Heller decision.

POed POTUS

Obama Has Heated Argument With AZ Gov Jan Brewer

Not a good teaching moment there, BO. Unless, of course, you’re showing us how thin skinned you happen to be. For that, you excel.

South Carolina Has Proof of Voter Fraud

That’s the State Attorney General talking.

Let The Sunshine In On Solyndra Escapade

Remember that company? The one that the Obama regime bailed out (even though they would still close down)?

Well so do a lot of us.

Apparently, the White House knew Solyndra was going to fold but WH told them to hold off until AFTER the mid-term elections.

That’s criminal. How do you like your change now?

Remember in November 2012. And here’s an ad by the Americans For Prosperity to help you remember.

IDs Required But For Voting

There have been prior versions floating around, but I wanted to update the list to see where this goes and if it grows “legs.”

If anyone has extra information to add, please be so kind to let me know. I will be happy to update and re-post it.

Big Big Big Mistake

Strength Through Appeasement… Obama to Share US Missile Secrets With Russia

Will someone in D.C. please look up the definition of treason in the Mirriam-Webster Dictionary now?

AG Holder a Betting Man

That’s how this Hot Air article portrays him. Nevertheless, this article is an excellent read and blockquotes this tidbit within theirs:

The 1965 Voting Rights Act was created to combat the systematic disenfranchisement of minorities, especially in Southern states with a history of discrimination. But the Justice position is a lead zeppelin, contradicting both the Supreme Court and the Department’s own precedent. In 2005, Justice approved a Georgia law with the same provisions and protections of the one Mr. Holder nixed for South Carolina. In 2008, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Crawford v. Marion County Election Board that an Indiana law requiring photo ID did not present an undue burden on voters.

But betting man? Holder? I’m surprised has hasn’t folded his hand. He really should.

Read the whole article as Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey points out that the photo-id established by Indiana and others are provided to the applicant for free.

UPDATE: Forcing Smart Meters Upon Us

It started in California, this year. About a month ago, when some customers removed their Smart Meter and replaced it with an analog by a liscensed professional electrician. So, this was done properly in accordance with technical requirements, in other words, money was spent to have a professional do the job right. This isn’t about getting electricity without paying for it.

Wendy Sarsfield, a representative from the public utility PG&E, kept insisting that saftey was the main issue for which power was not restored to the homeowners. Upon hearing this, Board Member after Board Member seemed to come up with a viable, workable solution, but it was always unacceptable to the PG&E Rep. After several minutes where the PG&E Rep began sounding like a broken record while refusing to come to any reasonable solution about restoring power to people’s homes (One of which was just to add people to the delay list and reinstall an analog meter until the California Public Utilites Commission-CPUC- finished creating an opt out program), one Board Member cut to the chase……

Get ready, new home construction is expected to have these installed as a matter of course. But when they come after your existing home to “upgrade” your meter – what are you going to do?

Read that whole updated article at GatewayPundit and watch the entire video to see the play-by-play (around 5 minute mark) by everyone and the PG&E representative.

Do you really want the power company to turn off your A/C during the summer and heat during the winter? Because that, and the fact that there are not new power generation plants planned for construction, is what they intend to solve their problem of providing enough energy for everyone’s consumption.

UPDATE: In British Columbia (Canada), it appears their smart meters will track power usage against specific devices by category. How about that. Forget about privacy – even in your own home, government – local or otherwise – intrudes deeper into your lives.
