FairTax...a beginning.

While I'm a big fan of the FairTax, I certainly like Instapundit's take on the proposal for a surtax on former government employees who get a big raise after departing the public sector for the private sector. See the post here. I invite all readers to read and understand the FairTax as it is described in Neal Boortz' and John Linder's prize winning book. It really is simple to understand and truly is "fair" as anything else suggested. Best of all is that it removes the ability of government to choose winners and losers in the market.

CARPE DIEM: Next Equal Occupational Fatality Day in 2022

This is now one of my favorite posts. For my liberated neighbor I will now print this in poster size and deliver to her door - Bypassing having to look at the Carter bumpersticker that still resides on her car. CARPE DIEM: Next Equal Occupational Fatality Day in 2022

"Tremendous Amount of Proof" does not equal "Birth Certificate"

"I think it's unfortunate -- he was born in Hawaii, there is a tremendous amount of proof that has already been presented," presidential sibling Maya Soetoro-Ng says on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight. "I think that it is time for people to put that to bed, put it to rest completely." Note that a "Certificate of Live Birth" is not acceptable in Hawaii as proof of citizenship for anything. There is a reason that "Birth Certificate" is called "Birth Certificate" and not "Certificate of Live Birth." All of this could be put to bed if only one man (0bama) made one phone call (chief of staff) or signed one piece of paper (release order). Something just doesn't smell right. More here and here. Also from the last link (Back to Basics)... "As Barry SOETORO a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama has blocked every attempt to release his long form birth certificate, spending and estimated two million dollars during the last three years to keep secret a one-page document that would verify parentage and place of birth, even the most hardened skeptics must be curious with regard to his reasoning. We would be remiss not to mention that Mr. SOETORO a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama has also blocked the release of numerous other records of his past, including but not limited to the following list: “Passport records, Obama kindergarten records, Punahou School records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, University of Chicago scholarly articles, Illinois State Bar Association records, Illinois State Senate records/schedules (said to be lost), Medical records, Obama/Dunham marriage license, Obama/Dunham divorce documents, Soetoro/Dunham marriage license, and adoption records.” (Source: http://obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com/)" and finally, here, too! ...and a couple days later, here!

School Lunch...no matter what it tastes like!

I personally see this as the beginning of the end. True overreach by those who insist they have nothing but the best of intentions. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/education/ct-met-school-lunch-restrictions-041120110410,0,4567867.story I would walk right down to my doctor and write a note saying that little Johnny only likes the food that his mother makes...and it would hurt his "self-esteem" to be forced to eat the same crap as the other students...and that therefore he should have a medical waiver from having to eat the prepared food offered by the school! Really turn their rules against them! More here from Michelle, (Doug Powers, actually, but you get the idea.)

This makes a good case for why women should carry concealed.

Having a gun and not needing it is a bazillion times better than needing it and not having it.

Iowahawk nails another one!

The creepy senator from the great state of South Carolina writes a mean letter. Not really, but you know what I mean.

Captain Renews NRA Membership

A good article about the dangers of compromise. Don't fall into the trap that both sides initial starting positions are equal and that a compromise is called for. Usually, a compromise is a disaster for both parties. http://www.captainsjournal.com/2011/04/03/i-renewed-my-nra-membership-today/
