The $9.7 trillion in pledges would be enough to send a $1,430 check to every man, woman and child alive in the world. It’s 13 times what the U.S. has spent so far on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to Congressional Budget Office data, and is almost enough to pay [...]

YouTube – The British called – They want their guns back
via Ace, who adds:
The dramatic spike in violent crimes in Britain since enaction of their gun ban has gotten very little press coverage here in the US. Very strange, for such a gun loving nation as ours. You’d almost think the [...]
We Are One In The Body Of Obama

Look, President Obama is in office now, and I’m fine with that. That’s what America wanted.
But, well, some of his more fanatical supporters freak me out. Including this crowd of celebrities and psuedo-celebs preaching of their newfound zeal to Serve Man:
So, yes, that video is just plain creepy. This year’s hot [...]

Some thoughts on the inauguration from the bottomless pit of self-pity and entitlement that is the far-left (emphasis mine):
Firedoglake » Worst. Inauguration. Ever.
And then, shear, crushing disappointment descends over the crowd. Unlike the smiles on all the faces you walked by on, say, election night, or in the metro last night, this crowd had to [...]

As I write this, it seems certain that our next President-Elect is Barack Obama. Assuming that’s the case, he has my sincere congratulations. I’m sure I’ll disagree, often vigorously, but I will stand behind him as I would any President. I’ll pray that God gives him the wisdom and courage to make the right decisions [...]

The Great Firewall of… Australia?
Yep, following in the footsteps of that beacon of worldwide freedom, China. And no opt-out procedure.
I had not realized that the entire population of Australia was actually composed of delicate elementary-school kids who depend on the government to “protect” them from offensive web sites. But I guess it must be true. [...]

The Democrats’ have some wonderful plans in store for us. Just in case you were planning on, you know, saving for retirement or something ridiculous like that they have this unbelievable plan to convert private 401k’s retirement accounts into an even stupider version of Social Security:
“In exchange for $600 from Uncle Sam, you agree to [...]
Stealing votes and demanding silence

That’s what this man, Jack Justice, says happened to him after he was whisked from his rehab center to a voting booth without any notification. Unfortunately it’s nearly impossible to confirm because the only two people in the booth were him and the person who was supposed to facilitate his vote.
So, we’ve got this. And [...]

What happens when an ordinary guy dares to embarrass the candidate of Hope and Change? Well, apparently his supporters, friends his in the national media, and his political allies in the government will vigorously punish such dissent. They’ll hand out your home address and personal information. They’ll pry into your finances. They’ll search your past [...]

YouTube – ACORN
ACORN (Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now) is under investigation in so many places that it’s hard to keep count. Highlights include Indiana, where ACORN has registered 105% of eligible voters, and Ohio, where they’re bribing people into registering more than once.
As this video from CNN illustrates, ACORN’s [...]
