The people proclaim their grief over their lost Liberty, but suggest that they will have to "cut the cord" of entitlements, and they lose their zeal for it. They remind me of clients I had as a programmer who would hire me to "fix" the programs they had botched. "Fix it, but don't change anything!" I would always tell them that I'm a musician, not a magician. We keep electing people who claim to be magicians. How infantile!

Our electorate behaves like the guy in the old joke about a man who goes to a wedding to find himself seated at table with a psychiatrist. Taking advantage of his good fortune, he says to the psychiatrist, "Hey doc. I wonder if you could give me some advice?" The doc says, "Sure. How can I help?" The guy says, "My wife's uncle lives with us and he thinks he's a cow!" The doc says, "Send him by my office Monday and I'll cure him of his delusion." The guy replies, "Hell no! We don't want him cured, just house-broken. We need the milk!"

Government = coercion Liberty = the absence of coercion Liberty cannot possibly regain its lost ground unless and until government is made to yield to it. Any battle FOR Liberty, must, by extension, be a battle against government. If we continue to send "compromisers" to our capitols, we will only slow down the enslavement of our grandchildren. To guarantee their Liberty, we must send uncompromising, principled TRUE Liberals to our capitols and town halls. We cannot even begin to discuss restoring Liberty until we have stopped the bleeding! STOP COMPROMISING! Along with our Liberties, it's our children who are being compromised. It's unconscionable.

"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground." - Thos. Jefferson Liberty has yielded to the relentless forces of government expansion for 200+ yrs. Every piece of legislation, every regulation, is a further erosion of Liberty. The only "compromise" in the process is how much of the people's Liberty it's supposed defenders will yield to it. Never whether any Liberty at all should be yielded to it. "Compromise" has been the equivalent of saying, "How much of your property will you settle to be confiscated?" If it's not as much as our governors demanded, they claim they've "compromised". The only thing ever compromised in government is Liberty.

The Chinese are communists, for the love of Pete! Not exactly the brightest bulbs in the marquee. I have been marveling for years at the admiration of China expressed by "economists" in the West, who should have known better, had our universities been teaching Smith instead of Marx/Keynes. How does a putz like Krugman end up with a Nobel? The same way Arafat did.

I have yet to see a FULL accounting of what this idiotic war on liberty costs us in dollars and lives on a yearly basis.

1. The $ spent outright on drugs.
2. The $ spent on interdiction efforts.
3. The $ spent on prisons.
4. The $ spent on court costs, including defense lawyers.
5. The incalculable costs in lives lost or diminished, both by the victims of the drug trade, and by brave law enforcement people, whose lives have been WASTED on this crusade against liberty. Those valiant esacrifises should be reserved for the defense of liberty, not wasted on attacking it.

Who owns me? Who owns my body? Who has a right to tell me, an adult, what I may or may not imbibe or ingest? When I was a kid, that was my mom's...

What troubles me the most about Van "Don't Call Me Czar!" Jones is not the egregious and obvious Marxism and racism that characterize his superficial intellect. It's that he is merely the latest in an unbroken string of such angry, hateful people in Obama's life.

He told us in his book that he deliberately sought (and, apparently continues to seek) the company of such people, going back to his college days, and probably before.

Frank Marshall Davis, communist and sex addict, was Obama's first "mentor", and the closest thing to a father figure he probably had in his life. In fairness, "Uncle Frank" was thrust upon him (I hope not physically) by his grandfather, whose best friend he was. Could someone in the MSM take a look...

Just last year. They couldn't say enough about his eminence, Sr. Castro.

What's so fascinating about these liberals is that when they say the don't honor and admire him, they appear to mean it. They are such adept liars, they get sucked in by their own lies. One can only wonder at the absence of integrity that permits such moral collapse. They manage to convince themselves, in the vain hope that it will fool thinking people, that they can both admire and distance themselves simultaneously. Truly fascinating.

Unfortunately, unlike the wasteful crap congress spends our money on, there is no powerful lobbying group with deep pockets to fund the elections of proponents of protecting America from EMP. I doubt that more than 10% of the dummies in Congress are even cognizant of the threat, much less the science behind it.

Billions for global warming, but not a penny to save our skins.

I hope we've seen an end to talk about the "big tent", promoted by liberal republicans (or "big government conservatives", an oxymoron if ever there was one).

You only need a big tent if you're promoting a 3-ring circus, which has been the case for the Republican party since GWB's election.

Scott Brown's election proves conclusively that you don't need to water down a message, or have a majority of voters within your part, to win elections. This was actually proven in the 1930's with the enactment of virtually the entire Socialist Party platform by FDR's New Deal catastrophe. The SP never even elected one candidate to federal office, but they achieved their objective. Now Scott Brown has resoundingly provided further...
