Too Much to Ask for: A Pres. that Knows About Taxes and Why His Plan Won’t Work!
The President misleads on almost everything. Tonight’s State of the Union address was an example of deception and even outright fabrication. He and his cronies have changed the rules to make it look like the rich are getting richer. They have changed how income is reported or counted making it look much worse than it really is simple by changing how it is reported. It is important you...

Read MoreThe 96th General Assembly Convenes – And We are Watching!
The first day of the 96th General Assembly began at high noon yesterday. Historical Republican majorities took the oath of office in both the House and Senate. The first day of a new General Assembly is generally a lot of pomp and circumstance. Newly elected leaders give speeches outlining their priorities and hopes for the upcoming session. And for at least one day, there is peace and...
Read More“There You Go Again…” Left Never Changes Anything Except Disguise
Oh the wailing and gnashing of teeth this weekend. Oh the mass hysteria from the left about Americans gathering on the Anniversary of MLK’s “I had a dream” speech. The left, for all their talk about “tolerance” sure doesn’t know how to be tolerant, unless you agree them of course! In case you haven’t heard, hundreds of thousands of Americans gathered...
Read MoreFrom bloggers to bagels, cities and states up the ante on bizarre taxes
By Emily Iles Should sliced bagels be taxed at a higher rate than their unscathed counterparts? New York says yes, and they’re cracking down on bagel-cleaving scofflaws. In New York state, whole bagels which are then carried out of a shop intact are not subject to sales tax. But slice it, dice it, schmear it, make a sandwich out of it, or eat it in the store, and poof! It magically...
Read MoreStimulus Bill What is it Good for? Record Debt, Bigger Government, No Recovery!
I don’t know if you are as shocked as I am (I would insert a tongue-in-cheek picture here if I had one) at reading reports from several media outlets on the latest findings of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). CBO, gasp, reports that the Stimulus bill is going to, hold on for the shocker, cost more than originally projected! From the Christian Science Monitor blog we read: Last week...

Read MoreAG Koster’s Second Strike Turns Out to be Foul Tip!
We reported in our blog posting, Missourians Should Remind Attorney General Koster: “You Work for Us!”, that we should be concerned about whether or not Attorney General Chris Koster could be counted on to defend the 71% vote on Proposition C. His record in defending our state sovereignty and our individual Constitutional protections has been dismal. We pointed out that Attorney...
Read MoreSo, the Missouri Hospital Association and Member Hospitals Support Shoplifter Insurance Mandate?
Lots of interesting blog and e-mail traffic today with the MHA and their member hospitals launching their assault on Prop C. The most disturbing fact is that they equate the cost of the uninsured and a federal government mandate to buy insurance as freedom. They either unknowingly or purposely confuse freedom with liberty. Only in a world where government is ruler does their assertions...

Read MorePost-Dispatch Hypocrisy Displayed-Liberal Causes OK, Conservative Ones, Not So Much!
The mainstream media readily bashed Andrew Breitbart for allegedly taking a video out of context yet consistently and unabashedly take things out of context when reporting conservative issues. The examples of mainstream media hypocrisy are long. Here’s the latest contribution from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch to that list. This past week, I sent to the Post-Dispatch, and other media in...
