democrat Culture of Corruption marches on…
House Member Eleanor Holmes Norton, a democrat, made a fundraising call to a lobbyist, and left voice mail where she flat out hits the lobbyist up for cash.
It’s Primary Day
At least here in the People’s Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
All the interesting races are in the Republican primaries. The democrats are typical Massachusetts democrats, part of the party system, and like my Congressman, Rep. McGovern, part of the caucus of the Socialist Party of America. For those lefties that read this blog, I wish I was making that one up.
The big race is the five way one for the right to run against Rep. McGovern, who, like the President and his cabinet, has never held a private sector job in his life.
For that race, I like Marty Lamb. I’ve met him, and his wife Peri. I like his message and his reasons for running.
The other contested race is for Auditor.
I like both candidates, Kamal Jain and Mary Z. Connaughton. Kamal has the advantage for supporting ballot initiative 3, which would roll the state income tax from 6.5% to 3%.
Kamal (and Marty) get that the problem isn’t that government isn’t taking enough of the tax payer’s money, the problem is that government is spending too much of the tax payer’s money.

Question of the Day
What is the left has against simple debate? If you dare mention that the narco-civil war in Mexico is creating a security problem along the US/Mexico border, they shut down and call you a racist.
Fact one: It’s not about race.
Fact two: Mexico has been in the midst of a violent narco-civil war for years! It’s one of the reasons average Mexicans risk life and limb to come to America!
Fact three: Many Americans would be a lot less concerned about illegal immigration from Mexico if the narco-civil war stayed south of the border. Look up the kidnapping rating in Phoenix, AZ if you think the drug gangs haven’t crossed the boarder into the US.
It’s not that difficult to grasp. The problem is slightly more complicated than than the leftists would like it be, but not by much. Is it asking too much for liberals to step up to the intellectual plate on this subject?
Even the Obama administration admits the violence problem, although in a very quiet manner they hope nobody will notice.
Quote of the Day
My personal credo as a libertarian conservative: I think all attempts to reform your fellow-citizens or tell them how to live their lives are arrogant and tyrannical. THAT’S why I oppose Leftism. I want people to be free to manage their own lives. “Reform” is just authoritarianism. People are not playthings for anybody’s theories or obsessions.

Barry’s team fails do it’s research
While our Dear Leader was on his numerous summer vacations, the Oval Office got a make over, including a new rug.
The rug has numerous quotes woven into, including one they attribute to a famous Republican, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King:
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
The problem is that while, Dr. King used this quote on numerous occasions, he never claimed it as his own, instead correctly attributing it to a Massachusetts abolitionist by the name of Theodore Parker.
The fact that Barry and his staff got it wrong is hardly surprising. One thing we have learned about our Dear Leader is that he is not that much of a reader and is not very intellectually curious.
When democrats Attack!
Time for another exciting chapter of “When democrats Attack!”
Let us start with a bit of “blue on blue” action.
Rep. Carnahan, democrat from Missouri, had his office firebombed. Of course, the open minded and tolerant liberals blamed someone from the “Tea Party,” despite there being absolutely no history of violence from that group.
So, who actually firebombed the offices of the democrat from Missouri? Well, it turns out that it was one of his own staffers, a liberal democrat by the name of Chris Powers.
Let’s follow that up with a NYC leftist stabbing a Muslim cabdriver in the neck for…wait for it…being a Muslim!
Big HT to Gateway Pundit for these stories the DNC/MSM won’t carry.
Just to round out the Hat Trick, here is another GP story about an open minded and tolerant leftist who verbally attacked an 82 year old Holocaust survivor. The open minded and tolerant leftist said that the 82 year old Holocaust survivor “obviously didn’t learn his lesson.”
Obama knew his policies would kill jobs in the Gulf
23,000 jobs killed by our Dear Leader in the hard hit Gulf Coast.
It’s been very clear that improving the economy has not a priority of Barry or the democrat controlled congress.
That raises the question of just what is our Dear Leader‘s top priority?
It’s not the economy, or transparency, or an ethical government.
His personal goal is pretty clear, improving his golf game.
