Tuesday,August 30,2011Yes,Perry flew “jets”in the U.S. Air Force In my pedantic and thoroughly annoying way,I’ve left comments on a couple of other blogs correcting people who have referred to Texas Gov. Rick Perry as having “flown jets”during his service in the United States Air Force.

August 22,2011 My Response to Buffett And Obama:Spend More Wisely,Then Tax Me More Wall Street Journal op-ed,My Response to Buffett And Obama,by Harvey Golub: Over the years,I have paid a significant portion of my income to the various federal,state and local jurisdictions in which I have lived,and I deeply resent that President Obama has decided that I don’t need all the money I’ve not paid in taxes over the years,or that I should leave less for my children and grandchildren and give more to him to spend as he thinks fit. I also resent that Warren Buffett and others who have created massive wealth for themselves think I’m “coddled”because they believe they should pay more in taxes. I certainly don’t feel “coddled”because these various governments have not imposed a higher income tax. After all,I did earn it. …[Read More] via TaxProf Blog:My Response to Buffett And Obama:Spend More Wisely,Then Tax Me More.

David Codrea,Gun Rights Examiner August 11,2011 “An FBI Denver Joint Terrorism Task Force handout being distributed to Colorado military surplus store owners lists the purchase of popular preparedness items and firearms accessories as ‘suspicious’ and ‘potential indicators of terrorist activities,’” an exclusive report by Oath Keepers reveals. Essentially,the government is conflating Americans who believe in being prepared for disruptions in normal circumstances with potential domestic enemies who bear scrutiny,and are recruiting those they patronize to spy and snitch on their customers. As potential terrorists. For such suspicious activities as buying storable food. And paying in legal tender. via FBI adds ‘preppers’ to potential terrorists list –National gun rights | Examiner.com. A Disarmed Society is a Violent Society Lawrence Person’s BattleSwarm Blog August 9th,2011 It’s not yet sunset in the UK,so we don’t know if a fourth night of rioting will follow the first three. But the glee and impunity with which rioters torched and looted large sections of London are an indictment of two beloved projects of British and other European elites:a disarmed citizenry and an all-encompassing,cradle-to-grave welfare state. [snip] But London shopkeepers and home-owners never had that choice. As Instapundit noted,“Unlike L.A.,there are no Korean shopkeepers with AR-15s to help contain the looting.” Since handguns were banned in the UK in 1997 (tightening already restrictive firearm laws),their per capita crime rate has skyrocketed compared to ours.  Political Ad for Rick Perry IT’S TIME FOR RICK PERRYCheck out this great video about one of the president’s possible replacements. It wasn’t produced by the potential candidate’s team,since the candidate in question hasn’t even declared yet. This ad was produced by a group called Students4Perry. Perry caused a stir with his prayer rally over the weekend. Here’s all I have to say about that. Given the choice between a president who is a proven failure who casts blame on everyone else,or a man known for praying and getting good things done,I’ll take the latter. In a heartbeat. By the way,Perry seems to be traveling a bit this weekend. Posted at 11:49 am on August 8th,2011 by via The PJ Tatler » Video:Maybe the Best Political Ad of the Season.
Posted on August 1,2011 by Brad Kozak You gotta hand it to those overachievers at the ATF(E and sometimes RBFs). Up to their asses in alligators over Fast &Furious,called in to investigate a local law enforcement peccadillo,and yet they still find time to reach out and touch someone(s). In this case,the someones would be those buyers who made the faux pas of buying more than one gun inside a five-day period. So how does this new Community Outreach Program work? Let’s check in for the exclusive from PrisonPlanet.com and see… By George F. Will Sunday,July 31,2011 A generation that has grown up with the Internet “has essentially been raised libertarian,”swimming in markets,which are choices among competing alternatives. And the left weeps. Preaching what has been called nostalgianomics,liberals mourn the passing of the days when there was one phone company,three car companies,three television networks,an airline cartel,and big labor and big business were cozy with big government. via Minds opening to libertarian ideas –Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Posted on July 30,2011 via Sen. Rubio:“Save The Whole House Or It Will All Burn Down”| RealClearPolitics. JULY 29,2011,12:31 A.M. ET They’ve Lost That Lovin’FeelingBy PEGGY NOONANObama still has supporters,but theirs is a grim support.[N]nobody loves Obama. This is amazing because every president has people who love him,who feel deep personal affection or connection,who have a stubborn,even beautiful refusal to let what they know are just criticisms affect their feelings of regard. At the height of Bill Clinton’s troubles there were always people who’d say,“Look,I love the guy.”They’d often be smiling—a wry smile,a shrugging smile. Nobody smiles when they talk about Mr. Obama. There were people who loved George W. Bush when he was at his most unpopular,and they meant it and would say it. But people aren’t that way about Mr. Obama. He has supporters and bundlers and contributors,he has voters,he may win. But his support is grim support. And surely this has implications. Obama faces two massive problems — jobs and debt. They’re both the result of his spectacularly failed Keynesian gamble:massive spending that left us a stagnant economy with high and chronic unemployment — and a staggering debt burden. Obama is desperate to share ownership of this failure. Economic dislocation from a debt-ceiling crisis nicely serves that purpose — if the Republicans play along. The perfect out:Those crazy Tea Partyers ruined the recovery! Why would any conservative collaborate with that ploy? November 2012 constitutes the new conservatism’s one chance to restructure government and change the ideological course of the country. Why risk forfeiting that outcome by offering to share ownership of Obama’s wreckage? Why I support the Boehner bill Posted July 27,2011 I support the Boehner bill and hope House Republicans will vote to pass it. First I’ll flag what I like about the substance of the bill.
It also tees up House and Senate floor votes on the Balanced Budget Amendment,but that is not my priority. A BBA would take years to enact,and we cannot wait that long to fix the underlying math problem. I support the Boehner bill for the following reasons:read more | |
