IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE: Al Gore calls John Holdren 'completely nuts'.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: White Liberals Tell Black Lies about Civil Rights.

HEH:

UNEXPECTEDLY: Obama's gangster government operates above the law.

INVEST TWO MINUTES to protect your right of self-defense. I have -- and will again by simply replacing the template letter with my own. Ruger simplifies my life by identifying my congresscritters and sending the letter to all of the with a single click of the button.

I will also note that the National Rifle Association uses a similar template form to allow me to contact my state legislators equally easily.

Thanks to both.

STUDY TIES Tea Party to tobacco. If the researchers at the University of California - San Francisco had smoked cigarettes rather than marijuana, perhaps they wouldn't have made such asses of themselves.

THE REAL QUESTION isn't why the DHS is buying so many bullets; it's why are so many federal agencies (like Social Security) packing heat?

OBVIOUSLY NOT. Would you hire after listening to Obama's State of the Union speech? If I were an employer, I'd be seriously looking for ways to reduce employees.

IS IT OKAY TO STEAL if you’re from the Government? Yes. Next question?

HAS OBAMA become Jack Bauer? The real question, it seems to me, in not whether he's gone Jack Bauer (he has), but whether there are any real limits on how far he can go.

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION is starting a new Healthy Housing program that will no doubt make housing 'healthy' the same way it's making health care 'affordable'.

The Democrats are good with hot air and regulation; short on doing anything useful. More proof - if any is needed - that Reagan was right: government is the problem, not the solution

WHY THE LIBERAL HATRED OF CITIZENS WITH GUNS.



Because we're not slaves.

A REFLECTION ON THE PRESIDENT? The State of the Union is getting dumber: "President Obama ranks second-lowest of every president in history with a reading level of 9.2, using the Flesch-Kincaid readability test on a scale of 8 to 26."

Even then, he was over the heads of most of his supporters.

A FRIGHTENING JOURNEY: inside the mind of President Obama.

CNN: American news media reaches peak moron.

YOU DID NOTHING: time for a Thomas Paine reminder.

A REAL STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH: Sen. Marco Rubio's response.

MY THOUGHTS on last night's State of the Union speech: unexceptional, trite, banal, same old, same old ... then Stephen Green, liveblogging as http://pjmedia.com/blog/drunkblogging-sotu/Vodkapundit, got it exactly: "the Audacity of Bullshit." Here are my notes again, cleaned up and slightly expanded.

Our military men & women coming home. Yes, but as they did during Vietnam, sacrificing in vain because the administration didn't have the courage to win.

Today America uses less oil. Yes, but because America is a less prosperous nation under Obama's 'leadership'.

Can I buy (tax, borrow, or steal) some more zeros? I'll need them to continue the administration's 'investment' in government. Nothing I'll propose will increase the deficit (neither will it decrease the deficit).

Keystone? Fracking? Nope, but I will 'speed up' (ha!) leasing public lands (my lands, by the way; I'm the public) and use the income to combat climate change by -- you guessed it -- further subsidizing wind and solar.

Let's "Fix it First" -- with more tax money we don't have, of course. And by the way, I'll direct private capital their money on ports, pipelines, and schools.

More NewSpeak (again via Stephen Green): Spending is Saving.

Our children aren't learning enough in government schools, so we must start their indoctrination earlier with government-funded preschools.

Colleges and universities are becoming unaffordable, so let's get rid of those pesky 'for profit' institutions.

Obama promised me a job.... 0ops, he meant illegals.

Raise the minimum wage; take another rung from the bottom of the latter. Jump higher, you poor bastards.

We're going to fill up the middle class by reducing the number of people in the upper class.

We're going to defeat Al Qaeda leaving the Mideast and focusing on reducing our nuclear arsenal.

A nothing speech. Reduce government tax expenditures (NewSpeak for raise taxes); invest (NewSpeak for spend more [on pie-in-the-sky liberal dreams]); educate more (NewSpeak for indoctrination); and promote public safety (NewSpeak for control more). Be of good cheer; our Government is here and it.will.help.you.

ENDNOTE: I participated in the Fox News/Bing pulse poll during the State of the Union speech. The results, posted http://www.bing.com/politics/stateoftheunionhere, are accurate only if the vertical axis went from Neutral (top) to Negative (bottom). Only once during the entire speech did the 'pulse' ever move into positive territory. The charts are bogus.

TECHNOLOGY: tracking aircraft by television. Making more spectrum available for social networking and video games....

THE FUTURE of your 401k is ... unsettled. To say the least.
