The Worst Senate Majority Leader in American History (By A Lot)

Seriously, Senator Harry Reid is a truly contemptible human being. The Dude is not a fan.

Democrats: Always First on the ‘Ban’ Wagon

Does anyone else notice that the Democrats are getting a little ban happy this election year? They are on a tear of late, calling for a ban on everything from fried foods to talk radio. Here are just a few of the things the Democrats are planning to ban, or have already banned:

Fried foods banned at Dem. Convention

Drilling off shore and in ANWR

Conservative Talk Radio (Fairness Doctrine)

Muslims from photos with the Presidential nominee

The Phrase: The War on Terror

Waterboarding

Lobbyist Donations

Admitting the surge is working….

Nuclear Energy

Haditha Marine May Sue John Murtha…

The highest ranking Marine to be exonerated in the Haditha case,  Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani, is reportedly considering suing the Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania [and Time Magazine] for comments the Congressman made in 2006. On May 17, 2006, Congressman Murtha announced to the world, with absolutely NO EVIDENCE, that U.S. Marines had “killed innocent civilians in cold blood” in Haditha, Iraq.

Check out my previous post on the subject, which has a video of a reporter confronting Murtha over the Haditha situation and a video of how the story was reported over seas…

Murtha, by the way, is the freakin’ king of pork barrel spending in a Congress full of big spenders and a vicious partisan Democrat. This guy has GOT TO GO!

So much for trimming the pork

Drill, Refine, Build: A Guide for the Present and the Future

The only way to really solve the oil crisis in America is to attack the problem from all angles and with ferocity.
Let’s drill off shore and in ANWR, start building refineries and nuclear power plants, invest in green technologies and use less energy (when possible). Doing this will show the rest of the world that we are serious about being energy independent. For all the hand-wringing and blather coming from Obama’s mouth, he offers very little in the way of solutions. As far as I can tell, Obama’s plan is to tax the oil companies, and therefore the people who invest in the oil companies, more, ban any new drilling in America, not build any new refineries and not build any new nuclear power plants. And the man has the nerve to call it a plan that will lower gas prices. How exactly, Senator Obama?
The Dems in Congress, and their standard bearer in the race for the presidency, need to wise up and do the right thing for once.
Also, the oil companies are not evil. They are responsible for making the things we use on a daily basis, work. And they are owned by Americans with pensions and 401K’s and other investments. The problem is the U.S. Congress, not the oil companies themselves.

A Democrat Makes A Stand! (A Good One)

Former Montana House Speaker John Driscoll won the Montana Democratic Primary on Tuesday, while setting an example that I wish all politicians would follow. He vowed not to raise any money in his run for Congress and the voters of Montana voted for him anyway. Driscoll will face Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg in the general election this November.

Hopefully, Rehberg will make a similar pledge…hopefully.
What say you, Denny?
 

Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less.

Sign the Petition and let Congress know that the American People know who is really responsible for high energy prices.

Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less.

Congressional Democrats Blocking Path to Energy Independence

This isn’t a long-term solution to the energy needs of the world, but it would certainly help the U.S. in the coming decades, as we try to find other energy sources. We need to drill our own oil.

By Robert J. Samuelson

“What to do about oil? First it went from $60 to $80 a barrel, then from $80 to $100 and now to $120. Perhaps we can persuade OPEC to raise production, as some senators suggest; but this seems unlikely. The truth is that we’re almost powerless to influence today’s prices. We are because we didn’t take sensible actions 10 or 20 years ago. If we persist, we will be even worse off in a decade or two. The first thing to do: Start drilling.

It may surprise Americans to discover that the United States is the third-largest oil producer, behind Saudi Arabia and Russia. We could be producing more, but Congress has put large areas of potential supply off-limits. These include the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and parts of Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico. By government estimates, these areas may contain 25 billion to 30 billion barrels of oil (against about 30 billion barrels of proven U.S. reserves today) and 80 trillion cubic feet or more of natural gas (compared with about 200 tcf of proven reserves).”

Ted Kennedy on Paying His “Fair Share” of taxes

This is a great video of YAF/Hot Air special correspondent Jason Matter asking Ted Kennedy why he supports the estate tax, while at the same time, his family avoids paying it. Good question: 

Climate Change in Congress? Nope.

Pelosi & Co. say carbon is a dangerous pollutant and the government has to act quickly to avoid the cannibalism of Ted Turner’s twisted future. So, with a majority in congress and the blind support of the old media, why is nothing getting done?
