My syndicated column today looks at the massive mortgage entitlement campaign launched by President Obama today — and the concurrent, anti-foreclosure bullying campaign launched by ACORN. I’ve been warning about this for weeks (see here, here, here, and here) — and in particular, I’ve been blasting the Republicans for playing right [...]

Gracious God!
My syndicated column today covers the cult of entitlement. One interesting footnote about Henrietta Hughes’ home donor that I forgot to note yesterday. Did you know that Chene Thompson is a Republican? In my column, I explore President Obama’s choice of Ft. Myers for his second stimulus [...]

I uploaded the entire Sellout Substitute Amendment championed by the Turncoat Caucus this weekend. Did you read through to the very end of the 778-page legislative text? Did your Senator? If you did, then you saw this:

Section 109(a) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (12 U.S.C. 5219) is amended—
