How Pure Is Your Congressman?

On this week’s podcast, we discussed the resolution drawn up by members of the Republican National Committee to “re-establish the party’s conservative bona fides.” Believe it or not, there are some who think I do not pick on Republicans enough, so I thought I would channel my inner xenophobic, pro-war, and socially intolerant Republican and jokingly insert the subtext I infer from their statements.
- We support smaller government, smaller national debt, lower deficits and lower taxes by opposing bills like Obama’s “stimulus” bill
When Democrats are in charge, we can no longer expand the size, scope, and power of the federal government in the ways that we want to, so we have decided to feign support for smaller government to keep those “tea baggers” from throwing us out of office. Remember the TARP bailout? Our guy signed that into law. Obama is a pretty easy and identifiable target, so we included invoking his name every time we talk about the stimulus bill that we would have written differently but still passed, had a Republican Congress and executive been in place in the time of need. - We support market-based health care reform and oppose Obama-style government run healthcare
Since the Democrats proposed massive government intervention into the healthcare marketplace, we oppose it. That will likely end the January after you get tired of the other guys and vote us back into power, so we can bring you more fantastic healthcare reform ideas, like Medicare Part D.
Disturbing Stories - ABC working for Obama and “TeddyCare”
Fri, 06/19/2009 - 9:08am | posted by David Carlson
So there are two very disturbing new stories I came across today, and I just have to share them.
The first news story originated on The Drudge Report. Basically, on June 24th programming will indirectly (or directly, depending how you look at it) be given over to the Obama Administration for an hour to push the Democratic health care agenda. Charlie Gibson will be airing World News from the White House and it will be talking specifically about health care reform. Problem is, there will be no representation from a free market health care advocate, just the socialized health care side. Yikes! Luckily Lost (the best show on television) will not be back until winter so I can join in the boycott of ABC.
Tea Party Poster: Obama Hood

When Obama first rolled out his tax policy during the election, we were inspired to create this graphic. It’s more relevant now, and I have had more requests than ever to use it for the Tax Day Tea Party protests.
Feel free to make whatever you would like out of it for next weeks festivities. I’ve included the PSD below. Have fun.
We hope you enjoy it. Feel free to run with it yourself by downloading the PSD, please just toss a little credit our way when you do.
The Issue of Race and the Presidency

Race played a unique role in the recent presidential election and will continue to do so in the upcoming Obama administration. David Remnick of the New Yorker magazine and Mark Whitaker of NBC News discuss race and the presidency on MSNBC.
Obama Suggests Cap & Trade System Will Bankrupt Coal Plants and Cause Energy Costs to Skyrocket

Whenever I drive past the local coal miners union’s meeting house, I’m amazed at the plethora of Obama signs littering their front yard. I realize that unions traditionally vote Democrat, but Obama’s energy policies will put a lot of these union workers out of a job.
Then again, McCain’s energy policy is not any better.
“Battle Lines Drawn in North Carolina”

According to Al Jazeera, North Carolina could possibly be headed into the blue column. I think the conservative voter they interview in this video is a microcosm of the average American conservative who is unenthused by the characters popping out of today’s Republican Party.
Palin Going Rogue? About Time.

CNN is reporting that Palin is ready to “bust free” of the constraints placed upon her by the struggling McCain campaign and all I have to say is, “Thank goodness!”
Obama the Protectionist
Sat, 09/12/2009 - 11:36pm | posted by Chris Moody
Hundreds of years of economic theory notwithstanding, the United States takes another step toward protectionism by forcing Chinese tire makers to pay a 35 percent tariff on their imported product. As trade expert Dan Ikenson says, “Short of armed hostilities or political subversion, no state action is more provocative than banning another’s products from entering your market.”
It’s a shame to see a president who spends so much time talking about caring for the poor, forcefully rise the price of a common product for all Americans just for the sake of paying back a few special interests that have donated heavily to his campaign efforts.
Free traders had very high hopes for the new president when it came to reducing protectionism, but despite his rhetoric, Obama’s actions are dreadfully dissapointing.
The Hacks at MSNBC
Thu, 08/20/2009 - 11:48am | posted by Chris Moody
In an MSNBC segment about citizens bringing guns to presidential events, network commentators suggest that one man carrying an AR-15 rifle was motivated by racial hatred against Barack Obama. What they intentionally didn’t show you is that the man with the gun is an African American.
I see this all the time in Washington, but that about takes the cake for the most ridiculous form of dishonest hackery I’ve seen…well… this week, at least.
