    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864

    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

    -- U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp

Posted on September 17, 2008 by Riley

Yesterday, we summed up the great work that Greg L. over on BVBL has done uncovering PWC employees, led by County Exec. Craig Gerhart, using official county resources to help undermine official county policy with regard to the anti-illegal immigration resolution. Well, today, Greg goes even further and uncovers much, much more information which is deeply troubling.  From [...]

Sorry Guard, I’m just Too Busy

Posted on September 17, 2008 by Hirons

Teleprompter Barry must be just too busy to attend the 130th National Guard Conference being held in Baltimore Sept. 19 & 20.  Instead the guardsmen will be addressed by Dunkin’ Donuts Joe.  I wonder if teleprompter Barry even “thought” about attending . . .
Senator John McCain will address the National Guard Conference on Sunday at [...]

Oppose Obama? You’re a Racist. Simple as That.

Posted on September 17, 2008 by VA Patriot

So says Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius. Of course, this charge has come up about every 3 weeks since this campaign started.  Expect the frequency of these baseless attacks to increase as the election draws nearer.  Identity politics is the Democrats’ bread and butter, so when they have nothing substantive to say (which occurs hourly), they always resort [...]
