Ed Martin: How Congress Lies To Us
Below is an indictment of US House Republicans by a ‘Platform Republican’ like me for the games played when voting for the Boehner / Pelosi / MConnell / Obama budget deal.

Kim Davis’ Opportunity To Win For Separation Of Church And State
Unlike most, I don’t subscribe to the modern notion of church / state separation and am fully informed that it is not a law or a matter of Constitutional principle. It’s a note from Thomas Jefferson to someone else. However, here we are and Kim Davis is in jail for one simple reason: the governments […]

Your US House Member And The Farm Bill Vote
As expected, the Farm Bill was re-married with the Welfare/Food Stamp Bill and was an assault on the taxpayers, freedom, and the free market in general.

Halt Donations To Representative Peter King / Governor Chris Christie
New York Representative Peter King callously called for donors to stop sending money to House GOP members… …once again playing into the Democrats and Statist Media’s hands for dividing the Party.

Why Did It Take Till 1/1/2013?
Just a quick and simple post to note exactly why it took until 1/1/2013 to have the Republicans pass the massive tax and spend bill H.R. 8 to avoid the so-called Fiscal Cliff. On 1/1/2013, the taxes went up anyway. Now, the Republicans can spin their vote as an effort to reduce taxes from the […]
