Why small-gov hobbits need not to retreat to the shire [Darleen Click]

… because there are some candidates that deserve our support and vote …

Obama Administration Opposes Nationalization [McGehee]

The Obama Administration has stated publicly its opposition to the nationalization of a major corporation. It isn’t one of ours. The United States on Wednesday said Argentina’s plan to nationalize leading energy company YPF was a “negative development” that could hurt the Latin American country’s economy and investment climate. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the United States was very concerned about Argentina’s bid to seize the company, controlled by

Obama will gladly fight for immigration reform!

You know, next Tuesday. Washington Examiner: “I can promise that I will try to do it in the first year of my second term,” President Obama recently told Enrique Acevedo, an anchor at the Spanish language television network Univision. Obama was talking about comprehensive immigration reform, which would regularize the status of more than ten million people living in this nation illegally. On the same subject, four years ago, then-Senator

“Why we can’t go back to sky-high, 1950s tax rates”

Aside from common sense reasons, like, eg., money will move offshore and leave the country entirely. Jim Pethokoukis: The top marginal tax rate was 91% during the 1950s. Here’s why we can’t go back: 1. The 1950s was no Golden Age. The U.S. economy grew by an average of 3.4% a year between 1948 and 2007. How did the 1950s do in comparison? If you measure the 1950s from 1950 to

“Kindergartner arrested after throwing tantrum”

Just like the Founders and Framers would have wanted! A kindergartner who threw a tantrum at her small-town Georgia school was taken away in handcuffs, her arms behind her back, in an episode that is firing up the debate over whether teachers and police around the country are overreacting all too often when dealing with disruptive students. — Wait, this needs to be “debated”?  This was a six-year-old girl not

“Illegal Alien Steals 5-Year-Old’s Identity; Mother Will Testify at Hearing Today”

I think what Stacy meant to say is that an undocumented worker who shares our desire for liberty borrowed the identity of a white male of patriarchal privilege who was greedily hoarding the thing (it’s not like a five-year-old is opening credit card accounts or buying liquor, and if he’s voting, he can safely do that without an ID anyway) — and now the poor oppressed dear is facing criminal

Bishop goes all GODWIN on Obama

Meaning, random Republican pols will be blindsided by a cynical, activist press “concerned” with the GOP response to some Bishop’s homily in addition to private citizen and rock star Ted Nugent’s “death threats”. Without that same activist press ever once worrying themselves over, eg., Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s suggestion that Republicans “literally” want to return the nation to the days of Jim Crow. Journalism. **** update: By the way, was Nugent’s

“Rep. Israel: GOP tax bill is unfunded giveaway for millionaires; ‘The House is in range’ for Dem. takeover”

Class warfare and the potential for a Democrat takeover of the House, despite the strong and spirited leadership of Republicans, led by John Boehner:  Two great tastes that taste great together! A few quick words for Rep Israel, if I may: the money you claim Republicans are “giving away” without “paying for it” isn’t yours — and so letting people keep it is only costing you inasmuch as you believe

The DC Welfare Queens [Darleen Click]

Why should they worry? It’s not like it was their own money The practice of gaming the system in order to bill taxpayers for food at lavish conferences was so widespread within the General Services Administration that it became a “running joke” among certain employees, the GSA inspector general testified Tuesday. Inspector General Brian Miller, who blew the whistle on agency spending with a report on its $820,000 conference in
