With every expansion of government under the Obama administration, President Obama helps make the case for smaller government. Just in case the NSA didn’t get you too riled up (it’s all in the name of national security – right?), the blob known as Obamacare continues to grow.   Read the rest of this entry »

The Eurocrats are at it again. Not content to enforce laws with, you know, police, the European Union, according to The Telegraph, is now considering a proposal that would fit new cars with cameras that could read road speed limit signs and automatically slow the car down to the posted speed limit. This proposal is apparently designed to reduce the 30,000 people who die each year in auto accidents on European roads. Naturally, this would make make virtually impossible the practice of motorists speeding just up enough to pull over to the next lane so as not to miss that last exit to Stuttgart – and one ends up in Heidelberg, instead.   Read the rest of this entry »

The Magna Carta, contrary to what some think, does not translate to “Big U-Haul.” Although, in reality, a big U-Haul is what is needed to transport the Obamacare regulations (seven feet high and counting) around. Like the Constitution, the Magna Carta is also a slim document, but is packed with so much that it guided the framers as they debated and crafted the Constitution some 560 or so years later. We may recall that community organizer extraordinaire, Saul Alinksy, wrote “Rules for Radicals.” Well, think of the Magna Carta as “Rules for Kings.”   Read the rest of this entry »

“Nobody is listening to your telephone calls.” So said Barack Obama two days after London’s the Guardian news outlet broke the story that the government has required cellular provider Verizon to turn over its daily customer call information to the …

Much head scratching occurred when the Nobel committee awarded Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, just months after becoming president. Many (me included) believed that he had not accomplished anything yet as president and certainly nothing that warranted …
