Bob Dornan Endorses Bob Marshall

An impassioned endorsement for Bob Marshall from one of my favorite congressmen.

No Debate, No Vote, No Nothing ... This is Irresponsible Government

"Folks you don't get 13 trillion dollars in debt by doing things right." Yup, that seems to about sum it up. The Senate is out of control. DeMint points out the sheer hypocrisy of the system and what is actually happening.

It's Over! — The Notion of Freedom In the United States Is a Sham

SEE HERE It's time to rise up and protest this kind of tyranny.  Freedom means nothing if it doesn't mean that you are free to act in accordance with your conscience.  This kind of outrage is beyond tyranny.  This kind of thing has to be reversed or you are no longer free.  Tyranny Rising!

I've been listening to a Great Courses Company course on Natural Law. It is interesting that the lecturer is discussing Natural Law concepts in English jurisprudence and as they informed the Founders in the Declaration of Independence. One case he cites is an English case which discussed whether the government had the power to require doctors to be licensed and apparently found that it did not. That sort of blew me away since we've come to simply accept government requiring all sorts of certifications and regulations. Perhaps a closer study of history would show us how much freedom we have really lost. I've always liked an idea that Robert Heinlein would talk about which was the licensed QUACK. On his suggestion anyone could practice medicine but if they didn't have formal training and hadn't gotten the required certifications they would have to post prominently the certificate that they were licensed quacks. This reminded me further of a trip I took some years ago when I was working as a research scientist for the Navy and we were in Arizona to make a flight test. We would go to the local beanery for lunch and they had their license posted which was apparently the lowest kind of license and hence I suppose the cheapest and warned the clients of the establishment that it was not inspected by the state and so a long list of evils might be present ranging from insect infestation to various other dangerous conditions. Actually the place was better than the fancier place we also went to that had the higher kind of license. I don't know if Arizona still does things this way but I thought it was pretty cool at the time (circa 1973). Government can not guarantee anything except to punish people after the fact if some requirement is not kept and there is a complaint. I am more prepared to trust a man whose livelihood depends on his doing his job well than some faceless bureaucrat whose job is pushing paper and checking boxes.

Mark Levin on the Economy

LISTEN HERE We continue to move in the direction of a total train wreck for the economy.  The president is campaigning on the taxpayers' nickel.  He's destroying the economy and setting us up for economic disaster and we just keep whistling past the graveyard.  Mark Levin summarizes it better than I can.  Listen up!

Is Voter Fraud a Problem? Is the Pope Catholic?

SEE HERE We have a justice department dedicated to supporting voter intimidation and voter fraud. The information is out there. All you have to do is go and read it. But instead I have liberals lampooning me and telling me I'm paranoid and stuff like that. They seem to think that because not enough has been exposed that we should tolerate it because of [ fill in the blank ] the usual liberal moaning and groaning about how onerous it might be to have to, gasp, identify yourself at a voting place and prove who you are. Voting is just the most fundamental political act of a citizen and we shouldn't insist that it be protected? These people obviously have an ulterior motive and it isn't likely to be a good one.

Are You Ready for War At Our Southern Border With Guerilla Forces of Militant Islam?

When are we going to take our border security seriously? This is outrageous.

This Would Be Pathetic If It Were Not So Typical

SEE HERE Who is watching the store? You have to wonder at the level of oversight that governments, local, state, and federal, exercise over the taxpayer dollars put into their care. I'm just about convinced that our single biggest problem across the board is out of control government stupidity. As Ronald Reagan noted, "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'" We could get a lot less help and keep a lot more of our hard earned money in our pockets if we got government out of our knickers.
