Treason Has Become a Fashion Statement - The only crime our government has committed against PFC Bradley Manning, the pudgy little arch-traitor adored by America’s left, is that the taxpayer is still paying to house, feed and medically treat him.

No one but the worst sycophant thinks that President Obama’s latest stab at a federal budget is a serious plan. In fact, that he’s come before the American people ‘again’ with a ‘second budget plan’ itself bespeaks of a president badly floundering on the issue. This has left the Republican Party, and more specifically the GOP led House of Representatives, as the only real game in town on the budget, the debt, and in correcting the Bacchanalia of spending that Congress has indulged for nigh on the last 100 years.

So where does the Tea Party stand today? If you ask that question in different locations you are going to get many different answers. If you listen to lefties such as columnist Ted Reinstein, you will hear that the Tea Party is a dying dinosaur suffering from what he describes as the terminal illness of being uncompromising. Reinstein blames the recent slow budget compromise on unbending Tea Party-supported Republicans who he asserts would destroy the country to get their way. Of course he also portrayed the GOP’s original $100 billion budget cut proposal as “devastating.” Who is living in reality here? Reinstein repeats the same mantra often chanted by liberals that the political right can only be “right” when they act like the left. The Tea Party and their candidate’s refusal to break from conservative values in exchange for liberals’ acceptance continue to be a painful and puzzling enigma to the left. This has brought about many false descriptions.

President Barack Obama took to the stage at George Washington University to allegedly lay out an argument for what he perceived to be a need for “compromise” where the current debt, spending and budget issues are concerned. In the end, the President’s speech turned out to be nothing more than a partisan approach to the launch of his 2012 re-election campaign. But Mr. Obama did highlight the need to employ true compromise in approaching the financial crisis facing our country. And while this may be a notion that many on both the committed Left and committed Right will not be wont to hear, it is the truth, if in fact we are serious about reforming the way our government utilizes taxpayer monies.

A pro-Palestinian activist from Italy was discovered dead in Gaza a mere few hours after being abducted, according to the Israeli Defense Force.

Last month when the current series of budget debates began to heat up, the ineffectual leader of the Democrats in the U.S. Senate thought he had a great little point against proposed tax cuts by crying that the cuts would destroy Nevada’s “Cowboy Poetry.”

By their own words, Washington Democrats are daily proving that they are not serious about dealing with the nation’s budgetary crisis. Therefore it must be concluded that they never have been. Rather, they remain doggedly in the mode of seeking to exploit the present situation for whatever political gain they may glean from it. In so doing, they exhibit complete contempt for the American people and the country’s future. Apparently, among liberals, apart from any impact on their political standing going into the 2012 elections, nothing else matters.

David Frum has mocked Glenn Beck from the standpoint of the 295 million Americans that don’t watch Beck. Wonder if Frum realizes that the number having no idea who David Frum is surpasses even that figure?

The last several months have seen a steady flow of embarrassing revelations from the U.S. Department of Justice. The very notion of justice is being transmogrified into a post-modern construct, dragging the Department into a cesspool of identity politics and indulging in an improbable parody of “equal justice under law.”

Oakley, California. In Ultra Liberal California, Christians are generally hated and undermined at every opportunity. A church in Oakley, California has constantly been in the crosshairs of this atheistic, socialist state. especially when it began to have a positive effect on the area of East County, in the Bay Area.  A public school was constructed and just before it opened, the housing crash began, workers were losing their jobs, forced to move due to foreclosures on their homes, and there were no students to enroll in the school. It sat empty. Mountain View Christian Center made arrangements to lease it from the cash strapped town of Oakley, using the classrooms for Trinity Christian School and the auditorium for the worship services. The superintendent of the Oakley School Distirict seemed to be uneasy with the arrangement from the start, and would contempuously refer to the teachers and staff as; “Those Christians.”

It’s poetic justice that Democrats, who are almost uniformly opposed to payday lenders, find themselves caught a bit short in Washington, DC. For those unfamiliar with the term, payday lenders are willing to loan short–term money so borrowers can get over a financial rough spot between now and the next payday.

Cars will be banned from London and all other cities across Europe under a draconian EU masterplan to cut CO2 emissions by 60 per cent over the next 40 years.

The political courage shown by Governor Walker and Republican legislators in Wisconsin should be an object lesson to all conservatives:  Be bold!  Those who oppose us, those who have infested the institutions of American life and the organs of American government, and those who live at the expense of our sweat and our pride will show us no quarter.  While our war for the soul of America is peaceful in the sense that it involves no physical violence, it is still total war.

In ringing prose, President Barack Obama underscored his March 9, 2009 Memorandum on Scientific Integrity with this promise: “Under my administration, the days of science taking a back seat to ideology are over...To undermine scientific integrity is to undermine our democracy.”

I have written often about the salient but overlooked fact in public opinion polls:  conservatives represent a huge group of America while “liberals” are a much smaller percentage of our nation.  The Battleground Poll, for example, is a bipartisan poll put together by a Democrat polling organization and a Republican polling organization.  It asked in every poll the same demographic data about those polled.  The results, year after year, are almost identical:  about sixty percent of Americans call themselves “conservative” and about thirty-five percent of Americans call themselves “liberal.” The “moderate” or “don’t know” respondents fill up the tiny remainder.
