Shelby County AL Tea Party

I just attended the Shelby County, AL Tea Party inspired by Rick Santelli of CNBC. I found out about it from Michelle Malkin’s site about 15 minutes before it started and it was being held right in my neighborhood!  I figured our forefathers would not be deterred by the rain so neither would [...]

Read my lips

In the State of the Union this week, President Obama said that people making over $250,000 would not see their taxes increases by one dime.

I have not seen this on a single news channel.  Members of Congress will all receive an automatic $4700 “cost of living” pay raise.  How many of you are getting a “cost of living” pay [...]

How do we power the future?

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood wants to tax you by the mileage you drive instead of the gas you consume. Let’s put aside the privacy problems with having the government give you some device to track how far you drive. And let’s put aside the obvious fact that they will not replace the gas [...]

Join the Tea Party

Rick Santelli for President!

How much is a trillion dollars?

If you counted $1 every second, it would take you 317 CENTURIES to count $1 TRILLION. That is 31,700 YEARS!!!!
