The headline AP “McCain, Tacking Right, Seeks Primary Victory” says all you need to know to understand Senator McCain. When you have no core values and no core principles, it is easy to “tack right.” McCain is a duplicitous politician who is willing to change his views depending upon the direction of the wind in order to retain his power. The McCain voting record speaks for itself and it is foolish to think that “this time is different” and McCain won’t turn into a RINO after the polls close today.

Fathom the odd hypocrisy that Obama wants every citizen to prove they are insured, but people don’t have to prove they are citizens.

“This is all about hate and Islamaphobia.” Ron Paul
“This is all about hate and Islamaphobia.” Ron Paul, August 20, 2010
Ron Paul states that opposition to the mosque near Ground Zero “is all about hate and Islamaphobia” and that the “justification to ban the mosque is no more rational than banning a soccer field in the same place because all the suicide bombers loved to play soccer.”
With all due respect to Ron Paul, he is wrong. Dismissing opposition as being due to “hate” and “Islamaphobia” is short-sighted and ignorant. In a free country people are allowed to object and disagree. One would think that someone who loves freedom as much as Ron Paul would understand that. Few people are suggesting that the government should step in and stop the mosque, they are suggesting though that if the goal is really “out-reach” that the location be changed.
Larry King’s replacement, Piers Morgan has Visa issues
British journalist and “America’s Got Talent” judge Piers Morgan, who is widely thought to be King’s replacement, is apparently having trouble obtaining a work visa. NYPost reports.
The easy solution for Piers Morgan:
1. Go to Mexico.
2. Cross the border
3. Work.
4. Claim anyone who asks for ID is “racist.”
Problem solved.
North Carolina forensic lab ‘ignores, twists evidence’ according to
The News & Observer of Raleigh, North Carolina reports that at least in some cases that the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (NC SBI) lab has “ignored evidence” and “twist reports and court testimony when the trust threatened to undermine their cases.” “At the bureau’s crime lab, agents charged with using science to solve crimes have hidden test results or withheld notes that suggested the opposite of findings presented to the courts.”
The police anywhere must be above reproach incidents like this impact individual defendants and the trust that police officers have to rely upon. The North Carolina SBI should be embarrassed and must take steps to immediately clean up the mess. Power corrupts. North Carolina SBI Officers that took part in this should be charged and in jail themselves. Behavior such as this is completely unacceptable. Read the full story.
In a somewhat related story, the science of DNA test statistics has come under scrutiny. In part, the article states:
“The DNA analyst who testified in Smith’s trial said the chances of the DNA coming from someone other than Jackson were 1 in 95,000. But both the prosecution and the analyst’s supervisor said the odds were more like 1 in 47. A later review of the evidence suggested that the chances of the second person’s DNA coming from someone other than Jackson were closer to 1 in 13, while a different statistical method said the chance of seeing this evidence if the DNA came from Jackson is only twice that of the chance of seeing it if it came from someone else.”
Racist Senator Harry Reid’s “tone darker” racist comments
“We are a nation of immigrants. So because the wave of immigrants we have now — their skin’s a tone darker than ours — doesn’t make it any different.” Harry Reid, August 11, 2010
Not a single, solitary, new idea – Obama. The Best Idea is an old one, Freedom.
“They have not come up with a single, solitary, new idea to address the challenges of the American people.” President Barack Obama, August 3, 2010
New ideas? Freedom is an old idea and it works. When the government gets too involved – as it has been for years – you end up with repeated crises like this. The best idea is an old one, FREEDOM.
Power-hungry Pete Stark shows his ignorance of Constitution – “The Federal Government can do most anything in this country”
If anyone needed an example of a power-hungry politician who is willing to ignore his oath to protect and defend the Constitution, Pete Stark is a perfect example. I would encourage Pete Stark to read the Constitution and the history of its ratification. The people who elected him should be ashamed. “The Federal Government can do most anything in this country””

1099 Your Freedom Away – Reporting everything to the IRS with 1099s
Beginning January 1, 2012, you will be required to report just about everything to the IRS. There has been some discussion recently about this in relation to gold, but it applies to everything if you purchase in aggregate over $600. In other words purchases that add up to more than $600 over the course of a year require IRS form 1099 to be filed. It applies to “all persons engaged in business.” Clean someone’s house? Mow a lawn? Write an article? Write a program? Graphic design? Realtor?
So if a person buys a computer on January 1st for $399, paper and ink and printer for more than $202 on December 31st of that year from the same person or business (flea market, Bill’s Computer Condo, Office Depot) for their office, they are required to file IRS Form 1099. Forgot about it over Continue reading 1099 Your Freedom Away – Reporting everything to the IRS with 1099s
A standing military force with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defense against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home.
