Daniel Horowitz writes for Red State and also has his own blog, Red Meat Conservative.  He has a worthy post out that describes how dire and late the hour it is in America's collapse.  The post, "Why We Fight" says:

Historically, the growth of government statism has been irremediable. For every “100 yards” that they have advanced, our most successful counteroffensive has only slowed their rate of advance by a few yards. Now, after 80 years of soft-socialism, and 2 1/2 years of hard-Marxism, if nothing drastic is done, the government will control our healthcare sector, financial sector, and many other large components of our once proud free market. In other words, we are down big in the Super Bowl of socialism.

Horowitz doesn't just preach doom and gloom, but sees Obama's coming electoral defeat to be a major opportunity to fulfill some of Ronald Reagan's dreams, e.g. a balanced budget amendment, a 2/3 vote requirement for raising taxes, and a constitutional ban on price and wage controls.

Read it all here.   I have added "Red Meat Conservative" to my blog roll.

Apparently the Daily Caller's story on Bachmann's "incapacitating" headaches is being refuted in many places.  One is from Powerline, who says the DC article was based on an anonymous source who may have exaggerated the facts.

Read the Powerline article here.

Okay, Michele, I still love ya.  I'd rather have a president with headaches than a president who is a headache.

Obama Leaving In A Huff

Barack Obama, like some 14 year old with his own credit card, has spent the country to the point of bankruptcy for projects and works that no one wants.  (Between taking office in January 2009 and September 2010, Obama increased the federal debt by $2.5 trillion, which is more than the cumulative total of the national debt held by the public that was amassed by all U.S. presidents from George Washington through Ronald Reagan.)

Now the angry 14 year old wants more goodies, and insists that the limit on his credit card be raised so he can continue his reckless spending.  Giving Obama additional credit is like giving a teenager the keys to the liquor cabinet and the car simultaneously.  Even the highly astute, quick-thinking GOP establishment has begun to think this is a bad idea.  "Huuuh?  Whaaat?  I dunno, maybe we should say no?"

Obama wants elected Republicans to vote with Democrats to raise the debt ceiling so the latter can waste even more while avoiding responsibility.  If he can persuade "the stupid party" to go along, they will then accept equal blame for the fiscal disasters that follow.  Per Rush and other pundits, that will take the heat off Obama in the 2012 elections -- he can then claim the tsunami of federal debt now swamping the economy is a "bipartisan" effort, and that the GOP agreed with it, etc, etc.

Obama was so angry about the GOP refusal to go along, that he threw down his pacifier and left yesterday's meeting in a Huff.  He was last seen pedaling the thing down a corridor of the White House, beeping the little rubber horn as he went.

A Huff, of course, is the new GM totally green car that was built with stimulus money and costs only $86,795 each.  Since the new car is propelled by pedal power, it will have no negative impact on the environment.  The economy?  Well now, that's another story.  If re-elected, Obama plans to be driven to his second inauguration in one.

Note to Republicans in Congress:  Keep saying no.  Or else.  We vote.  Or not.

Here's another good reason to oppose the nomination of Mitt Romney as the Republican candidate for president in 2012:  Romney believes in the man-made global warming hoax.

Those who believe this nonsense are less likely to oppose cap and trade schemes and Orwellian restraints on business, economic development and cheaper energy.  In other words, less freedom and less prosperity in pursuit of an unscientific myth.

This slick GOP establishment candidate must be defeated.

Moonbattery has the story here.

Herman Cain

The ARRA News Service is reporting that Herman Cain is rising in the Zogby Poll as more Republicans begin supporting him.  Cain is a businessman and a radio talk show host; he is not a lawyer (thank God) nor a politician.

Absolutely none of the establishment Republican candidates appeal to me, and only Herman Cain is clear and unequivocal on the issues that are most important to me (revive the economy, start an energy policy that will lead to cheap fuel, support Israel, support our military, etc).

At this point, Herman Cain is my man.  Imagine, common sense, actual values over and above getting and staying elected -- I like it.

Mike Huckabee has decided not to run for President in 2012.  That's good, now I won't have to not vote for him.

On the good side, now Huck will have more time to practice playing bass guitar.  Believe me, he needs it.
