Rahm’s “Civilian National Security Force”

Posted by wdporter in November 13th 2008  

If anyone yet doubts that Fascism comes from the left and not the right, one need look no further than the new Chief of Staff appointee for President-Elect Obama.  Rahm Emmanuel was quoted in 2006 as pushing for the same sort of “Civilian Force” that Barack Obama mentioned a couple of weeks ago that should [...]

Logipundit’s take on the election.

Posted by wdporter in November 5th 2008  

I’ll be brief as possible:
I’m astounded at the “hope and optimism” line from the left on this.  It’s as if everything was riding on it.  Our whole existence depended on the ascension (and I do mean ascension) of ONE MAN.  If the old white guy had gotten elected–a thousand years of darkness.
The biggest difference between [...]

Vote “No” on the Loudoun Meals Tax referendum.

Posted by wdporter in October 29th 2008  

This is how the referendum will be worded:
QUESTION:  Shall Loudoun County, Virginia, be authorized to levy a tax, pursuant to Virginia Code Section 58.1-3833(A), on food and beverages sold for human consumption by restaurants and on prepared foods sold ready for human consumption by grocery stores and convenience stores, in an amount not to exceed [...]

“Hit a Jew day?”

Posted by wdporter in October 24th 2008  

Are you kidding me? If ever there was a case for homeschooling…:
Several sixth-graders from suburban St. Louis are being disciplined for creating “Hit a Jew Day” and then hitting Jewish classmates.
Four or five students at Parkway West Middle School in Chesterfield could be suspended and undergo counseling for last week’s incident, school officials told [...]

“We” do NOT need to “do more.”

Posted by wdporter in October 20th 2008  

Nancy Pelosi wrote last week in the USA Today that “we” (meaning the Congress, of course–she certainly doesn’t mean “We the People”) need to do more.  Another stimulus package.  And it appears that Bernanke is going to support it, even though the Bush Administration has been “cool” to the idea (meaning they will eventually support [...]

Delinking Health Insurance from Employment wouldn’t be all bad.

Posted by wdporter in October 19th 2008  

A brief article on the history of why the healthcare system got to where it is, and why the McCain plan is actually the only one of the two (between his and Obama’s) that can truly accomplish anything:  by putting more control back in the hands of the consumer instead of simply shifting control from [...]

Joe the Plumber

Posted by wdporter in October 16th 2008  

In case you guys haven’t seen it, here is the entire exchange between Joe the Plumber and Barack Obama. Watch the whole thing and listen carefully as Obama explains to Joe why he had to work too hard to get where he is, but because of where he is Obama has to make sure [...]

House Approves Bailout Bill

Posted by wdporter in October 3rd 2008  

God. Help. Us. All.

“I may lose my race over this,” Rep. Sue Myrick (R-N.C.), who also voted for the bill after opposing it. “But that’s OK. Because I believe in my heart I’m doing the right thing.”
You should lose your seat, because you know you’re not doing the right thing.  You’re doing the easy thing.

And you will know their names:

Posted by wdporter in October 2nd 2008  

This is, almost to the tee, EXACTLY how I felt last night after this vote.
Oh, where to begin?
How does one construct an essay when one sees the national government rapidly turning this country into a nation with which one is just not familiar? I mean, this isn’t America anymore…. Is it? Could it possibly be? [...]

I know! Let’s print more money!

Posted by wdporter in September 30th 2008  

Desperate for innovative solutions. Ben Bernanke is really thinking outside of the box…and continuing the same mindless monetary policy the Federal Reserve has followed for years:
Print…more…money:
The Fed has been extremely creative about using its existing legal authority and massive pool of resources to try to stabilize the financial system during the past 14 months. Just [...]

Capitalism for Commies

Posted by wdporter in September 30th 2008  

An email that went out a few days ago sent to me by my friend, Chris (no the other Chris):
Dear Fools:
We need your help.
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has put together a plan that is actively under debate and allows the Treasury to invest in assets that are crushing bank balance sheets. We view this plan [...]

VA delegation on the Bailout Plan

Posted by wdporter in September 30th 2008  

Just so everyone knows the score.  Our Virginia delegation voted against the bailout plan 6 to 5:

Virginia’s congressional delegation was sharply divided, with six voting against the package and five in favor. Bobby Scott was the only Virginia Democrat voting against the bill. He joined Republicans Robert Wittman, Thelma Drake, Randy Forbes, Virginia Goode and [...]

Boustany Votes Against $700 Billion Wall Street Bailout

Posted by wdporter in September 29th 2008  

From Rep. Boustany’s website:
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Charles W. Boustany, Jr., (R-Southwest Louisiana), today voted against a $700 billion bailout for overextended financial institutions both in America and abroad.
“My first responsibility as a member of Congress is to the American taxpayer, and today, I am proud to defend the hard-earned dollars they send to [...]

Blame game may be irrelevant, but it should at least be accurate.

Posted by wdporter in September 29th 2008  

To save Johnny the trouble of navigating the perilous waters (no pun intended) of embedding a YouTube Video.
This is very disturbing, but illustrates volumes. Watch it to the very end and see President Clinton admit the obvious:

Hopefully, as Johnny put it, this will mean the beginning of the end of Barack Obama, given that [...]

House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio)…

Posted by wdporter in September 29th 2008

“encouraging every member whose conscience will allow them to support this.”
Well what else does anyone need to say?

“Don’t Panic”

Posted by wdporter in September 26th 2008  

A very intriguing article on the History News Net blog regarding the age-old concept of using a “crisis” to gain more power in the hands of Government.
Aw, hell, just read the whole thing.
Hat tip to: Cafe Hayek.

An alternative to the bailout plan

Posted by wdporter in September 25th 2008  

As always here on Logipundit.com we want you to know that there is more than two ways to look at a subject, and that it occasionally might require us to use our imagination (and well…brains)  to come up with alternative solutions.
For instance, let’s imagine for a second that our Congress had authority over our economy…which [...]

Where are the hearings?

Posted by wdporter in September 25th 2008  

Did I miss something, or were there hearings on Capitol Hill where the CEOs and Chairmen of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac answered to Congress about the blatant corruption existing in their organiziations since their inception?
Oil companies have to testify before Congress because of “obscene” profits, tobacco companies because of the health risk of their [...]

Who’s to blame? And why should we be scared?

Posted by wdporter in September 19th 2008  

With all of the talk of who is to blame, there are a lot of smart people saying what many of us deep inside already know.  None better than Neal Boortz, who is the co-author of the “FairTax” book, explaining in his “talk to me like I’m a 4-yr old” style, how the financial markets [...]
