Drill Here!  Drill Now!

Democrats like to say “We can’t drill our way out of this energy crisis.” Newsflash! Drilling is the only way out of this energy crisis.

The “progressive” taxman cometh

A farmer told two men they each could have all the watermelons they could harvest in four hours. The first man harvested 100 melons; the second man harvested 200 melons. Before they loaded their trucks, an IRS official appeared and told the first man the government required 28 of his melons as tax.

Democrat leadership is undemocratic

When George Bush won the presidency despite Al Gore’s half-million popular vote margin, the Democrats cried foul, and vowed to get rid of the Electoral College. But it’s perfectly alright for Obama to get the nomination, despite Hillary’s winning more popular votes. The presidential election is governed by the Constitution-enabled Electoral College; the Democrat Party is governed by its own rules.

For Sale: America’s infrastructure

In the 1960s, the people of Florida borrowed a bunch of money to build a highway from Naples to the East coast. To repay the construction costs, the state charged a small fee to each traveler who used the road. The idea worked so well that in the 1980s, they borrowed another bunch of money to widen the road to four lanes to meet interstate highway standards. The toll was increased to repay the construction costs.

Maxine: Read the Constitution!

In a moment of accidental candor, Rep. Maxine Waters blurted out before God and everybody, that her answer to rising gas prices is nationalization of the petroleum industry. This revelation of her true socialist philosophy came in response to what was perhaps the most important message delivered during the recent Congressional hearings on gas prices:

What a difference a Dem makes

It makes very little difference which Democrat wins the White House. The next president will push the United States a little further into the web of global governance.

Cap McCain’s hot air

John McCain’s proposed “cap-and-trade” program is a disease far worse than the alleged global warming his proposal seeks to cure. His proposed program would not reduce carbon emissions; it would increase the price of energy; it would expand the reach, power, and cost of government; and it would push the U.S. another step closer to government control of the sources of production.

Sustainable Development: foe of freedom

Add the word “sustainable” to almost any project, and immediately, the project becomes politically correct and therefore, acceptable. The surge of “sustainability” or “sustainable development” in recent years is phenomenal.

Congress set to transform America to Socialism

The classic definition of socialism is: government control of the sources of production. A bill now before Congress, HR2421, will give the federal government absolute control over all sources of production. This bill, if enacted, will instantly convert the United States into a socialist nation.

Blame Clinton and the Greens for Gas Prices

With gas prices now yon-side of $3.50 per gallon, wouldn’t it be great to have an extra million barrels of domestic oil flowing daily into the American pipeline? Blame William Jefferson Clinton, who vetoed a bill in 1995 that would have opened the Alaska reserves that could have been producing much needed domestic energy today.

The new Constitution of Americas Union

When President Bush and his CANAMEX counterparts assemble in New Orleans April 21 for the 4th Annual Summit of the Americas, they will undoubtedly discuss a growing problem: how to continue denying that they are building a North American Union.

Corruption in government

It isn’t the toe-tapping in public restroom stalls. It isn’t the bundles of cash stashed in the freezer. Salacious sex scandals and the sale of influence are superficial symptoms of corrupt individuals. Individuals can be replaced. The corruption that permeates Congress may have no cure.

When will Islamic extremism be stopped?

When Hitler set out to conquer the world, it was American blood, treasure, and determination that stopped him. When the Soviet Union set out to subject the world to communism, it was American blood, treasure, and determination that stopped it. If the Muslim extremists’ quest to subject the world to radical Islam is to be stopped, it will, once again, take American blood, treasure, and determination.

Funding freedom’s demise

Youngsters who are just entering the work place have never known the difference. Baby-boomers and beyond, know that government rules and regulations have increased exponentially, and continue to squeeze freedom from almost every endeavor.

The Democrat’s Dilemma

The Democratic National Committee displayed inexcusable arrogance when it adopted a rule that deprived the people of Florida and Michigan of their Constitutional right to have their votes counted toward the nomination of a presidential candidate.

Time for a Commission on the Status of Freedom

In the turbulent 1960s, a civil rights movement arose that resulted in the creation of a U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Soon, there were state commissions on civil rights around the country. Then came the U.S. Commission on the Status of Women.

Three candidates for global governance

The Revolutionary War was all about establishing the independence of, and bestowing national sovereignty upon, the United States of America.

Following the European example

It doesn’t happen quickly. It’s been a half-century since the European Common Market was created to enhance cross-border trade in coal and steel among six European countries.

Choosing America’s future

Every presidential election forces the nation to confront the conflicting philosophies of government that have kept the country divided since the beginning. The issues change, from cycle to cycle, but the underlying philosophical difference remains the same. There is one bunch of people who believe that government should be omnipotent, and guarantee:

Where were the USDA inspectors?

The biggest meat recall in the history of the world topped the domestic news this week: 143-million pounds of beef, processed over the last two years, now scattered throughout the nation’s schools and fast-food joints - all recalled.
