2010 Elections Will Localize A National Problem

The expression "all politics is local" is moot for this election cycle. All of us need to not only work and promote local candidates, we need to identify those candidates in other states that have our Nations interests at heart and will abide by Constitutional limitations and make sure they get noticed.

This site will keep abreast of several out-of-state contests, including a state level race in Illinois for the 41st District, the 25th District of Texas, 22nd District of Florida, to name a few.

The outlook for the 3rd District of Virginia will be clearer next week. We will post what we are given by the people who know. I can tell you there will be a fight for this seat. Scott has had his last free ride.

The 2nd District of Virginia has someone running who comes highly recommended by people I respect. Scott Taylor deserves a look. Navy SEAL, businessman, activist.

FreeRepublic.com has a thread listing all the state elections.

The Emperor Is Naked.

Just don't tell anybody.

Robert Reich, a liberal's liberal, actually spilled the beans in 2007. Compare this to what the politicians (of BOTH parties) are spouting.

The "student audience" mentioned in the article is a great analogy for the American public.

The student audience, which at first clapped enthusiastically as Reich started to tell his unspeakable “truths” stopped clapping by the end. Reich had uttered the fundamental heresy. You really can’t have something for nothing.

We must accept this fact. And we must hold politicians accountable when they insist that the "emperor looks great!".

Conservatives must act

Today, as in 1776, the biggest battle is once again about our courage and optimism. Conservatism is embedded deep within the American spirit. But it requires constant loving care and outright cheerleading to feel free to express ourselves. You are not alone: Sixty million conservatives can't be wrong. (And that's a lowball estimate.)
Six months before November 2008, many conservatives are down in the dumps. John McCain is behind in the money race.
George Will thinks we are doomed --- an amazing thing to say, half a year before a toss-up election. Even Rush is in a sulk about John McCain.
But the stakes are higher than they have been in the last fifty years. No major US political party has ever nominated a radical Leftist before --- and Obama can't hide his real loyalties. Even Bill Clinton was more of a 'moderate' Democrat. Obama is a True Believer in the Left, like a younger Hillary Clinton after a sex change and a major sun tan.
The last attempt by the radical Left to conquer the US presidency was defeated by Harry Truman in 1948. Well, the Dems have now allowed a true radical to win their nomination, and they seem to be thrilled by their new messiah.
Will the American people be taken in by the Left? That's the crucial question that will decide the historic election of '08.

The National Debt Disaster and other myths

The Skeptical Optimist explains how the politicians are using our ignorance of government finance to scare us into voting for them.

The national debt will be a crushing burden on our children and grandchildren.
... Financial doomsday will be inevitable, unless we elect fill-in-the-blank to save us from that disaster.

But debt doomsday is a myth.
