What A President Should Sound Like
I’m truly dumbfounded at the direction the 2012 GOP Primary has taken. I’m not under any delusion that a contest for the highest office in the land can be predicted, but I’ve been really surprised by the way that conservatives have shifted their support around and seem to be willing to accept a shallow “electability” [...]
The General Welfare Clause
The General Welfare Clause of the Constitution has been the source of much debate over the years as it relates to the legal authority of the Federal Government. Broad interpretation of the clause has been used for decades to justify Constitutional authority for Federal spending, regulation, departments and programs. This interpretation, however, is in absolute [...]
Mitt Romney: GOP Waiting Room
Here’s another good ad. It’s an obvious poke at the “inevitability” claim made by many about Governor Romney’s candidacy. I won’t go into the many other problems with Mitt Romney, but it’s fair to say that this ad at least touches on one of them, and does so in a lighthearted, yet cute fashion. The [...]
Hank The Cat For Senate
I always love it when people make fun of politicians through parodies and satire. Hank the Cat announced his candidacy for Sen. James Webb’s (D) vacant U.S. Senate seat in January. He is running against former Virginia Govs. George Allen (R) and Tim Kaine (D) on a platform of job creation and economic growth. Related [...]
The Problem With Mitt Romney
Former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney has been in the media for quite a while as he has been seeking the Republican nomination for President of the United States. I’ve been meaning to put my thoughts together on the Governor for some time, but sadly, I haven’t gotten around to it until now. Governor Romney [...]
Nigel Farage Strikes Again

New Mitt Romney Logos
Well, you know I’m bored when I start playing around with logos. Until now, I’ve resisted the urge to be critical of Governor Romney. Not because I’m a fan, but simply because I don’t care for the dirty politics. Candidates should run on why they are the best choice, not on how they’re better than [...]
Why Doubling The Capital Gains Tax Is Enormously Stupid
On Tuesday evening, in the State of the Union Address, President Obama proposed raising taxes on the wealthiest among us to no less than 30% of their incomes. Put into context, this is directed towards the Capital Gains Tax, which currently stands at a rate of 15% for long term capital gains. This doubles the [...]
