In Honor of Our Veterans

Repeal Obamacare - Newt - American Solutions

"On Tuesday, November 2nd, voters from across the country sent the clear message that they're fed up with President Obama's anti-jobs, big-government agenda. Tax-and-spend liberals who supported the stimulus, cap and trade energy taxes, and a government takeover of health care were voted out of office in droves in the largest wave election in 70 years.

And with all of the new voices in Congress, conservatives have an historic opportunity to change the course of the nation by reducing spending, cutting taxes, and creating an environment in which jobs can finally be created again in the private sector in the numbers that we need to cut the unemployment rate in half.

The first step they must take, however, is to repeal and replace all of the policies passed by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid that resulted in putting more people on food stamps and prevented more people from taking home paychecks."

GE to buy 25K electric fleet vehicles – This Just In - CNN.com Blogs

No inside job here, ey?

GE said Thursday it will buy 25,000 electric vehicles for its fleet through 2015 in the largest-ever purchase of electric cars.

GE will begin with an initial purchase of 12,000 vehicles from General Motor Co., starting with Chevy Volt in 2011. The conglomerate said it 'will add other vehicles as manufacturers expand their electric vehicle profiles.'"

Charlie Baker - on Veteran's Day

"Yesterday was the 235th anniversary of the United State Marine Corps. I happened to be having breakfast in Brookline with former U.S. Marine Sean Bielat when a couple of older men called out, 'Happy Birthday Sean!' He knew exactly what they meant and asked them if they were veterans. They both responded that they were Marines. Sean waved back and said, simply, 'Semper Fi.' They smiled and nodded in return.

Semper Fidelis - 'Always Faithful' - has been the motto of the U.S. Marine Corps since the 1880s, and it was clear, as I watched Sean exchange these words across a crowded diner with two men old enough to be his grandparents, that they were sharing a special bond."

Passing the Torch - Alexander's Essays - PatriotPost.US

It is notable that Veterans Day shares the same anniversary date as the signing of the Mayflower Compact in 1620. That simple document, after all, is the taproot of a great nation, now a shining beacon of Liberty, which owes its very existence to the toils and trials of generations of American Veterans."

GOP Freshmen Will Hold Boehner to His Big Promises - Opinion - PatriotPost.US

For political junkies of a certain age, it was a given that the House of Representatives would always be controlled by Democrats. They won the chamber in 1954 and held on for 40 years -- more than twice as long as any party in American history had before.

When Sam Rayburn died at 79, more than 20 years after first becoming speaker, he was succeeded by John McCormack, 70, who was followed by Carl Albert, 68, and Tip O'Neill, an energetic 64. Every House elected from 1958 to 1992 had at least 242 Democrats, well above the 218 votes needed for a majority."

Repeal the 26th Amendment! - Opinion - PatriotPost.US

Jimmy Carter was such an abominable president we got Ronald Reagan, tax cuts, a booming economy and the destruction of the Soviet Union.

Two years of Bill Clinton and a Democratic Congress got us the first Republican Congress in half a century, followed by tax cuts, welfare reform and a booming economy –- all of which Clinton now claims credit for."

The Olbermann Factor - Opinion - PatriotPost.US

If MSNBC were consistent, Keith Olbermann would not have been the only on-air personality disciplined for making political contributions.

For those who don't watch his 'Countdown' program (which would be most of the country), Olbermann was suspended 'indefinitely' after it was learned he donated money without approval from management to three Democratic congressional candidates. The problem for MSNBC was not only Olbermann's failure to get permission, but that he anchored part of the network's Election Night coverage. Apparently at MSNBC, the chair you sit in matters more than the content of your journalistic character."

No Illegal Alien Pilot Left Behind - Opinion - PatriotPost.US

Chalk up another Code Red Elmo moment for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. While Islamic terrorists groom suicide bombers starting in kindergarten, the grownups in charge of protecting America can't seem to reach an elementary level of competence.

The 'good' news: Hindsight-driven bureaucrats at DHS moved to ban high-risk cargo from Yemen and Somalia this week after a global air scare involving makeshift printer/toner cartridge-bombs. The bad news: More than nine years after the 9/11 jihadist attacks, untold numbers of high-risk flyers have been able to board, ride and pilot American planes -- some with Transportation Security Administration approval to boot."

George F. Will - 2010 a banner year for conservatives

As he promised it would be, Barack Obama's presidency has been transformative, but not as he intended. Whether it lasts two or six more years, it is an exhausted volcano because its biggest consequence may already have happened: It has resuscitated the right, making 2010 conservatism's best year in 30 years - since the election of Ronald Reagan."

DEMINT: Well, you can't be a fiscal conservative and not be a social conservative. A large part of the expansive government is to make up for a dysfunctional society because our culture's falling apart. The family's falling apart."

The American Spectator : In Washington, But Not Of Washington

It's a pleasure to be here tonight. This is the last thing Bob Tyrrell would want to hear, but he has managed over the past 40 or so years to turn The American Spectator into an institution. But to his and Wlady Pleszczynski's credit, the magazine has always stayed true to its Hoosier roots. While it may be a magazine that covers issues in Washington, the Spectator has never been a magazine of Washington. And as this past election has shown, not being a product of Washington is a good thing."

Nothing in the works - BostonHerald.com

You’ll be happy to know that your government is hard at work spending your money. It’s the taxpayers who are left unemployed.

In 2008, Gov. Deval Patrick promised that he could create hundreds of thousands of biotech jobs in Massachusetts if we’d just give him $1 billion of our money for projects supported by his pals (and political donors) in biotech and Big Pharma. The Democrat-dominated Legislature gave him his wish and now Beacon Hill is throwing around $100 million to “create jobs.”

Tea-Totaler - BostonHerald.com

U.S. Sen. Scott Brown — a sometime Tea Party darling who’s been tagged as a potential 2012 target after the Bay State’s Democratic landslide in last week’s elections — yesterday downplayed the importance of the controversial conservative movement and its new foothold in Washington.

“I’m not sure who they are,” said Brown when asked about the election of senators with reported Tea Party ties. Brown said he’s known U.S. Sens.-elect Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Pat Toomey (R-Penn.) before the election and, “They don’t come and say, ‘Hey, I’m a Tea Party member.’ They come and say, ‘Hey, I’m a U.S. senator representing my state.’ ”"

Wall Street Collects $4 Billion From Taxpayers as Swaps Backfire - Bloomberg

The subprime mortgage crisis isn’t the only calamity Wall Street created that’s upending the finances of U.S. states and cities.

For more than a decade, banks and insurance companies convinced governments and nonprofits that financial engineering would lower interest rates on bonds sold for public projects such as roads, bridges and schools. That failed promise has cost more than $4 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, as hundreds of borrowers from the Bay Area Toll Authority in Oakland, California, to Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, quietly paid Wall Street to end agreements since 2008."

American Thinker Blog: Report on offshore oil drilling ban was doctored to mislead the public

In the wake of the BP oil spill, the Obama White House rushed out a report from an independent group of scientists and engineers that strongly suggested they supported a six-month ban on offshore oil drilling. Economic damage resulted throughout the Gulf region (red-state territory, by the way), thousands of jobs were lost, income plummeted, offshore drilling equipment was sent to overseas locations, oil production plummeted , prices went up, and oil exporting nations benefited from the rise in oil prices.

The problem? The White House cheated and lied."

The Bashing of American Exceptionalism - Jonah Goldberg - National Review Online

In 2008, when asked if he believed in American exceptionalism, President Obama responded, “I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.”

Can progressives define what to be a ‘progressive’ actually means? | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment

Right now, when I hear Progressive...I think of Big Brother...Big Government....and a cloud of distaste for American ingenuity and sense of country. Prove me wrong.....

For House Democrats, 2011 is likely to be the year of the progressives.

The midterm elections largely purged the party of moderate Blue Dogs, meaning that for the first time the Congressional Progressive Caucus will represent more than forty percent of Democrats in the House. There’s no question Democrats are now a progressive party. The only problem: nobody can agree on what the word “progressive” actually means."

Smoking bans should be amended | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment

Now that the midterm elections are over, the political climate should begin to be more business-friendly than it has been in recent years because, beginning in January, there will be many new Republican governors and state legislators who should be more favorably disposed to individual rights and freedom than their Democrat predecessors were. Among the states that will have new Republican governors are Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio, and Wisconsin, all of which have draconian indoor smoking bans. These bans should be either repealed or revised, especially concerning bars, restaurants, and hotel rooms."

Everyone involved was proud of the unbiased portrayal they created about the lead up to 9/11 from the 1993 attack on the WTC to September 2001. However, the miniseries almost didn’t air when the leftists began to circle their wagons before even seeing the film.

After two years of near silence, Bush is back.

With his new memoir, 'Decision Points,' and a promotion tour, the president who in cockier times could not think of a single mistake he had made, lists many.
