Thumpity-thump.

Seattle on Monday. Denver on Tuesday. Mesa AZ on Wednesday. Overland Park, Kansas today. What a week, huh? We got the anti-stimulus, anti-entitlement protest ball rolling — and now the movement, spurred further by CNBC host Rick Santelli’s call for a “Chicago Tea Party,” is really taking off. David Hogberg at Investor’s Business Daily has [...]

L’Jerk c’est Moi .

Team of Deadbeats.

Up in smoke.

Heading to Texas for a Lincoln Day Dinner event. Here’s an open thread. Behave!

Both parties in Washington are united behind the principle that it is government’s role to prevent a massive number of foreclosures — and use your money to bail underwater homeowners out. Why? Last July, I chronicled a case study in why the tax dollars of responsible taxpayers should not be siphoned off to indiscriminately rescue [...]

Criminal.

My syndicated column reports on the growing, grass-roots movement against porkulus/spending binges/the entitlement culture from Seattle to Denver to Mesa, Arizona and beyond. Why aren’t you hearing about it in the MSM? Because it doesn’t fit the victim mentality/government savior narrative. We don’t exist, remember? Well, more of you non-existent rebels will be gathering in [...]

Personal responsibility for thee, but not for He.

Boooo.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

Segregation.

I want you to look at this chart, via AngryRenter.com. While ACORN and the housing entitlement mob get all the press, look who’s not getting attention. Now, here’s some feedback in response to my appearance on FNC’s Neil Cavuto show this afternoon in support of renters (self included) who are getting the shaft from the [...]

“Rot In Hell!!!!!!!!!”

On the home front.

Obamedia Drool Bucket Award.

Gasp.

”They said, ‘It’s because of the sign in your window.’”

The AP has a story declaring that GOP South Carolina Mark Sanford will take stimulus money “despite misgivings.” On Fox News this morning, Sanford expressed a more nuanced approach — asserting that he’ll be going through the plan “with a fine-tooth comb” to determine what funding would be worth accepting given “the strings attached.” As [...]

Reader Amanda e-mails: “A protest has been scheduled for Rep. Dennis Moore’s office (D-KS) in Overland Park, KS on Sat. the 21st at 10 am in response to his support of the Stimulus Package.” From Seattle to Denver to Mesa to Overland Park, the grass-roots movement for fiscal responsibility is spreading. What are you doing [...]

Scheduled to appear on Fox&Friends this morning for my regular Thursday visit at around 8:15am Eastern. Off to find some caffeine…

We need all the glimmers of hope we can get. Take ‘em where you can find ‘em. From an East Valley Tribune story on students at Mesa, AZ’s Dobson High School, where the president/savior spoke earlier today: Some of the students attentively watched the speech, giving questioning looks and comments, shaking their heads and laughing [...]

Squeal.

All hail the savior-based economy!

Speak for yourself.

Vox populi.

Last week before the Generational Theft Act was rammed through, I called the sneaky provision to prevent governors from turning down stimulus money the “Punish Mark Sanford Amendment.” South Carolina Rep. and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn stuck the language into the bill to target GOP S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford — a leading fiscal conservative [...]

Hmmmm. Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin took time from his Greece junket to comment on the Senate ethics probe now under way into Roland Burris’s possible perjury: U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin says he believes the testimony Roland Burris gave to Illinois lawmakers about his appointment to the U.S. Senate was incomplete and a Senate ethics investigation [...]
