Barack Obama: Personal Tea Partier!

Expensive massages, top shelf vodka and five-star hotels: First Lady accused of spending $10m in public money on her vacations

Isn't that rich!
The magazine also reported that Mrs Obama, whose fashion choices are widely followed, had been going on 'wild shopping sprees', much to the distress of her husband, who, its sources reveal, is 'absolutely furious' at his wife's 'out-of-control spending'.

Rick Perry strikes the right chord

During his candidacy announcement, Rick Perry said "And I’ll promise you this: I’ll work every day to make Washington, D.C. as inconsequential in your life as I can."

I've often said that America needs to be a place where it doesn't matter that much who wins elections because their power is so limited and they can't really do much damage. America needs to be a country where politics doesn't much matter. To me, Perry is getting to the heart of that. I have heard that type of thing in ages. It's about time.

Debt Deal

it's a turd. it does not cut spending. Spending GOES UP. It doesn't eliminate any department or program. it doesn't reform medicare or social security. There's no balanced budget or balanced budget amendment. it locks into the budget baselines Obamacare and the Porkulus bill and it gives Obama another credit card to charge through the 2012 election. It will likely lead to tax increases. Tell me, why should any conservative be in favor of this crap?

Politicians may freak out of the debt ceiling was reached, but frankly, that's the best solution to the problem that is federal spending. Immediately, the government would be forced to live within its means. I have no interest in the vast majority of government spending. Most of it is waste and a lot of it exceeds the plain meaning of the constitution. Even some defense spending is a waste. Most of it is graft and corruption, or opportunities therefore. Frankly, there's no reason for conservatives to want it to continue this monstrosity. I am willing to gradually do away with these programs, departments and spending items, but DC isn't willing to do a damn thing to roll it back. So, there's only one solution: Blow it up. No Deal!

how I feel right now

Luke 20:46-47: "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love respectful greetings in the market places, and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets, who devour widows’ houses, and for appearance’s sake offer long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
