Four Conservatives Making Waves (and one to keep an eye on)

By

Whether 2016 or 2020, there is a great list of potential conservative candidates building.  In fact, conservatism is undergoing a bit of a renaissance spurred on by back to back establishment losses.  Some conservatives are starting to show a little bit of fight, and others are carrying the same banner they have been for years.  In recent weeks four conservative GOP figures have made a splash and the result is some fresh excitement in a party that could use a shot in the arm. Marco Rubio The backlash has already…

Democrat Assault on Assault Weapons

By

When a crazy person breaks into an elementary school and shoots children, it would be immoral to not take some sort of action.  I can guarantee no one will disagree with that statement.  However, a call for undefined action by the government can be the greatest threat to our Constitutional rights. Consider Sandy Hook.  Congress is preparing to consider a brand new ban on assault rifles and high capacity clips as a result of the Sandy Hook massacre.  In addition, Obama is putting into place hundreds of millions of dollars…

The $100,000 Raise

By

Picture this, tomorrow you march into your boss’s office and demand a $100,000 raise.  What do you think?  Would you walk out of that office with a job?  What if you demanded a $2,000 or $3,000 raise?  Perhaps that is more likely.  But it should be no shock that companies have been laying of tens of thousands of workers now that Obamacare is the permanent law of the land. Starting in 2014, companies with 50 or more employees  must offer their employees corporate health insurance plans, or employee #50 will…

Change? Obama Worse than Bush

By

The verdict is in, and Barack Obama did not produce the change he promised.  In fact, as he blames all his ills on the last 8 years, it is interesting to compare the Bush years to the Obama years.  Consider the following: Average Annual Increase in Public Debt (in millions): Bush: $543,818        Obama: $1,497,601 Total Increase in Public Debt (in millions): Bush (8 years): $4,217,261   Obama (4 years): $5,990,407 Average Annual Unemployment (Also see here): Bush: 5.26%                    Obama: 9.2% Median Household Incomes: January, 2009: $55,198       August, 2012: $50,678 The…

Ronald Reagan vs George W. Bush

Ronald Reagan vs George W. Bush

Obama screwed up.  Instead of portraying Romney as George W. Bush, which has been a major campaign goal of the left, he instead tied Romney to Ronald Reagan.  Oh, Obama was so clever.  “The 80s called, they want their foreign policy back”.  The modified version of the old high school punchline is backfiring. The problem with tying Romney to 1980s foreign policy is that we didn’t fight any major wars during Reagan’s Presidency.  Instead, our greatest enemy sat across the ocean with thousands of nuclear warheads pointed at us, not…

Why Obama Thinks Romney is Lying

By

Obama stunk up the stage, no one is questioning that.  Even Seth Meyers on Saturday Night Live had a hard time finding ways to take jabs at Romney’s debate performance.  That means Romney did something special in that first debate.  So what do you do when your opponent so completely mops the floor with you that your most loyal allies can’t even find a nice thing to say?  Accuse your opponent of lying. In fact, Obama hasn’t just accused Romney of lying.  Obama has accused Romney of so completely abandoning…

Unemployment Rate Explained

By

Conservatives woke up two days after one of our best debates since Bush/Kerry to hear that despite slower job growth than economists were expecting, the unemployment rate had dropped to 7.8%.  This is magically .1% lower than it was when Obama took office.  Most Americans don’t understand the details of the jobs report, but they understand 7.8%. If you’ve ever played the game “which of these is not like the other”, the 7.8% rate would qualify.  Economists expecting 142,000 new jobs (the actual number was 114,000 according to the Establishment…

Romney’s to Lose

By

If you’ve followed recent polls, you might be tempted to buy into the media consensus that the race is over.  However, if you know whose side the media is on, it’s easy to figure out why they have come to this consensus. Has Romney really lost?  Try this: conduct a poll of your own.  Do you know anyone who voted for McCain in 2008 who is voting for Obama in 2012? Obama will argue in the debate that the economy is getting better because the stock market is over 13,000. …
