Arguably one of the worst things about being a conservative is that we are the bearers of bad news and provide a sharp dose of reality.  Our mantra that nothing is free, that personal responsibility is a virtue and standards of conduct matter may not resound with everyone but they are true.  Bill Whittle released [...]

Friday’s not-so-funny Funny, comes to us courtesy the White House’s own website. Under ‘Fiscal Responsibility’ the site says President Obama would: “Cut the deficit in half by the end of the President’s first term. On January 20, 2009, the President inherited a $1.3 trillion budget deficit. The President has put forth a budget that will [...]

Today General Motors (GM), or Government Motors as it should more appropriately be called, reported the largest profit in company history during 2011.  This follows on a Treasury Department report that the taxpayer’s bailout of the automaker would result in a loss of three times that amount.
