A car Benedict Arnold would drive

We have a balance of trade problem here in the United States.

It causes a weak dollar, which in turn adds to the cost of oil.

We can't do much today, right this very minute about how much oil we import, and the stuff we get from China is mostly cheap plastic that wouldn't be made here even if it wasn't made in China.

Besides, China's markets are open to us; Japan's are not.

Yet many of us buy Japanese products despite the fact that they block their markets to our exporters.
We should stop buying Japanese products until they open their markets.

That would strengthen the dollar, which would in turn lower what we pay for oil.

Think about that before you let a Toyota driver in traffic; remember he or she has already made it clear what they think of you, their neighbors, and this country.

Jesse Helms

Compromise, hell!
If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?




The man became iconic.
Jesse Helms died on Independence Day 2008.

Enemies of the American Revolution


Our forbearer's fought and died to rid this land of those that would oppress us.


Yet now we find ourselves populated with people that think,
"We have rules".



Speed limits are placed artificially low and the fines generated used as a form of revenue enhancement.



We've allowed the property rights of individual business owners to be trampled.



We can no longer drive our vehicles on many of our own beaches or elsewhere in federally controlled parks.
The rangers; too often young wanna-be punks with badges, race around on ATVs that technically we own on the very beaches we can no longer bring our elderly parents to, due to the imposed motor vehicle ban.

The time has come for us to recognize those that perpetrate the above to be viewed as who they are - The enemies of the American Revolution and as such the enemies of both liberty & everything America should stand for.

Supreme's Agree with Constitution

on Thursday, June 26, 2008
In an unusual break from recent tradition, the United States Supreme Court agreed with the Constitution!

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Complete Ruling (PDF) here.

Even some liberals get it:
''This opinion should usher in a new era in which the constitutionality of government regulations of firearms are reviewed against the backdrop of this important right,''
said Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont.

Vermont as many know, enjoys the lowest incidence of firearm violence in the nation and has no gun laws what so ever.
(The only firearm laws in that state are federal.)

What do you know? Charlton Heston had it right!

Mandating Hazardous Waste

A really screwy idea














You've seen these funny looking light bulbs and may even have a few in your home.

Here's what you probably didn't know.


They're dangerous!


That didn't stop Connecticut State Representative Mary Mushinsky (D-85) from trying to force the bulbs into our homes by statute.

The hypocrisy of it all!
Muchinsky has held office for 28 years, and has been a full blown environmental kook the whole time.

It should come as no surprise that she failed to do any fact checking prior to promoting such a hair-brained scheme, nor should we be surprised that none of these "CFL" bulbs are made in the United States; after all, why would a Democrat try to help fellow Americans keep their jobs?

Here Congressman Ted Poe of Texas explains the serious problems these bulbs present.


The EPA even has a whole site dedicated just to the proper disposal of them!

Among other things, if one of these bulbs breaks, it tells us:
Have everyone else leave the area; don't let anyone walk through the mercury on their way out. Make sure all pets are removed from the area. Open all windows and doors to the outside; shut all doors to other parts of the house.

If a spill occurs on carpet, curtains, upholstery or other absorbent surfaces, these contaminated items should be thrown away in accordance with the disposal means outlined below. Only cut and remove the affected portion of the contaminated carpet for disposal.


All this for a light bulb - it's insanity.
