Study: Liberal States are Less Free

By Bob Ellis | 05/06/09

Observational experience alone has long taught us that where modern liberalism proliferates, freedom diminishes. Modern liberalism is based on the belief that government can better decide how a person should live, how their money should be spent, and that societal equality of outcome should be dictated by the strong hand of government power.  When government assumes the role of a parent or dictator over the day-to-day lives of the... read more »

Government Health Care Wastes Money

By Bob Ellis | 05/04/09

The number of reasons government health care is a terrible idea is great, with most of those reasons having to do with quality and fundamental issues of freedom. But one reason has more to do with practicality and fiscal responsibility: the incredible waste that comes with the system. CNS News recently reported that Medicaid, a government program which provides health care to poor people, made almost $19 billion in improper... read more »

Judge Rules Belief in Global Warming is 'Religion'

By Bob Ellis | 04/30/09

I have long said that belief in anthropogenic global warming is a religion for many people. But how can "science" be a religion, you might say? Consider some of the characteristics of what we know as "religion." Religion is a belief that may or may not have some foundation or agreement with objective scientific fact, but which at some point requires the exercise of faith in order to fully accept; in fact, it is the aspect... read more »

  Senator John Thune (R-SD) joined 30 other Senate Republicans in voting against the confirmation of Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius as U.S. Secretary of Health, while Democrat Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) voted for the nomination.  Sebelius is one of the strongest supporters of abortion in the country; she is such a friend of abortion that Planned Parenthood even threw her a birthday party. She also has ties to the infamous... read more »

Collins, Snowe Need a Wakeup Call

By Bob Ellis | 04/28/09

Arlen Specter's long-awaited departure from the Republican Party today should have taught RINOs something if they were really smart. But these liberals like Senator Olympia Snowe and Senator Susan Collins just don't get it...or don't want to get it. They want people to believe that the Republican Party should become even more liberal (and remain out of power even longer). From The Hill: Snowe said the day’s news should serve as a... read more »

Saving You Money By Raising Your Costs

By Bob Ellis | 04/28/09

How stupid does Al Gore think we are? Apparently he thinks we're as dumb as his beloved trees. Democrats in congress are pushing hard for a cap-and-trade tax in honor of the Religion of Anthropogenic Global Warming that virtually everyone agrees would raise electricity prices by 40% or more.   But according to CNS News, Gore says you should thank him and his disciples because their plan to increase your electric bill by 40% is... read more »

Miss California Castigated for not Following the Herd

By Bob Ellis | 04/23/09

Thirty years ago, would you have ever dreamed that simply repeating something that's smack-you-in-the-face obvious could create a firestorm of controversy? Welcome to the insanity of a 21st Century politically-correct herd-mentality culture. You may have heard that Miss California Carrie Prejean, a contestant in the Miss USA pageant, was ambushed by Perez Hilton, a homosexual activist who was also one of the judges. Perez asked her if... read more »

Getting Government Out of the Restroom

By Bob Ellis | 04/23/09

You may or may not have heard about the restroom incident in Rapid City recently which has spawned yet another incident where government is trying to stick it's nose under a tent--or in this case, into a restroom--where it doesn't belong. According to a recent article in the Rapid City Journal,  Bob Knecht told the council about a problem he had in not obtaining access to the restroom of a local business:  But some Rapid... read more »

President Obama: Narcissist in Chief

By Bob Ellis | 04/21/09

Charles Krauthammer may really be onto something here in understanding the un-American behavior of our own American president Barack Obama. (see video below) Krauthammer points out the fact that, unlike most presidents, Barack Obama refuses to defend his own country against any attacks made on it by some of the most notorious thugs in the world. Who could imagine President Reagan or either of the President Bushes not defending their country... read more »

Don't Expect This at Leftist Protests

By Bob Ellis | 04/20/09

I came across this striking video today from the Raleigh, NC Tea Party. The person who posted it said, "Something you don't see at Left-wing protests :-)" No kidding! Maybe some flag burning, urinating on an American flag or trampling one, but I don't think you'd see this kind of reverence during the national anthem...or such hearty applause for it afterward (if the national anthem made an appearance at all). Some of us love our... read more »
