Failure of the United States Senate

United States Senate has invalidated it's own mission and ignored it's own history. Originally chosen by the individual states legislatures, they were sent to Washington as a representative of their state. Now, we have direct vote and the senators now listen more to the lobbyists and special interest groups.

They have become nothing more than an extension of the House, going along with whatever party is in control in the Senate and ignoring the needs and limitations of their state. Forget whether their state can handle the mandates established by Washington. States are no longer represented.

This was designed to keep Congress from passing too many bills and constantly "transforming" our republic. Legislation was never intended to be easy. It was MEANT to be a hard job to get bills, regulations through. That way, only those issues that truly represented the overwhelming good of the republic would pass. And that does not mean 51%!!!

Harry Reid, you have NO RIGHT to block any vote.

New House Rules Emerging

The latest really has the Dems all in a tizzy. It appears the GOP leadership wants to grant the chairman of the Budget Committee the power to set the years budgetary limits.

Dems are trying to say this goes against the GOP's call for transparency. I dunno, sounds pretty transparent to me. You can spend this much and no more.

This will come back to bite us though if the next congress run by Democrats want to use it.

Happy New Year!!! 2011 is here

And what shall we make of it?

2010 was without a doubt, a roller-coaster.

We started and ended 2010 with record cold temps. All in the name of man caused global warming?

People are actually talking about the constitution! In regular every day discussions. Awesome in my opinion.

Joe Wilson got a smack down for pointing out the obvious: YOU LIE.

We had everyone from Matthews to Maher saying it's ok for the Prez to lie, cheat or use what ever means necessary to push his agenda!!! How's THAT for great media work?

We had the Massachusetts Miracle which many of us are now asking "what just happened?". Have to stay alert folks, we are still fooling ourselves.

While the Supreme Court ruling on the First Amendment this year has allowed more corporate influx of cash into the voting schemes, too many folks are neglecting to realize that in the long run, this was a very good thing for freedom. It may be the one thing that keeps this administration from enacting any version of the Fairness Doctrine and will be used when the next congress brings the FCC up on it's overbearing net neutrality actions.

If you listened to the lame stream media, man made global warming and our secret weapons systems have been responsible for every "natural" disaster this year. Haiti to volcano eruptions. Yep, we did it.

Mid-Term elections. Most ill-fated quote: Obama - "Well, the big difference here and in '94 was you've got me". Best part of the mid-terms? Tea Party.

The Adventures of Princess Layem! Ok, maybe that's just a highlight for my readers but dang it was funny!!!

Health Care bill. I'm struggling what to say about that without going off into a very long diatribe. Other than to say, "we have to pass it to see what is in it".

The Sestak bribe! Don't worry, you will hear more of this approaching the 2012 elections.

Financial Reform which is almost daily destroying our economy.

A daily effort by every liberal outfit in existence, especially those receiving funds from Soros to shut us up.

Arizona stepped forward to defend themselves. Oops, I'm sure some disagree. Oh well! I can't satisfy everyone.

Rand Paul

Census corruption and more O'Keefe videos.

Growing Islamic extremism. Where are the moderates?

LW enjoyed the opportunity to interview 3 local libertarian candidates. You can look forward to more of that.

The so-called Food Safety bill was passed and I guarantee we will regret this.

So. What can we look forward to in 2011? The Republicans have regained control of the House, but will they resort to their old spend and grow government? If so, will the Tea Party live up to it's promise to kick them out too?

Will ObamaCare be repealed?

Will Ron Paul succeed in finally getting some answers from Bernanke?

Will we have a true leader step forward to run for 2012?

Will we ever find out who shot JR? Just seeing if you were paying attention...
