Idaho Governor Candidate Rammell Will Not Apologize
September 2, 2009
It all began at a local republican barbecue event. Dr. Rex Rammell, a candidate for Idaho’s governor run in 2010, was addressing the crowd. Reports are and Rammell admits that when the subject of wolf hunting, an emotional topic to say the least, came up, someone in the crowd made a comment to do with “Obama tags”. (For those who might not know, at that time Idaho was selling wolf tags, a permit to allow for the taking of a wolf in a controversial wolf hunt taking place as I write.)
Dr. Rammell expressed he wasn’t clear on exactly his response to that comment but conceded it went something like: “Obama tags? We’ll buy some of those.” Outrage from some ensued with many asking for Rammell to apologize. At a press conference yesterday, he refused. Read more
Enviro-Statism
August 27, 2009
If you’ve not read Mark Levin’s new book, “Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto” you really must.
Page 114 begins a chapter called, “On Enviro-Statism”. This is how it begins:
“Science, broadly defined, is a door to knowledge. Although the Statist is found of accusing the Conservative of slamming the door shut, it is actually the Statist who abandons science – just as he abandons the laws of nature, reason, experience, economics, and modernity – when he promotes what can best be characterized as enviro-statism. His pursuit, after all, is power, not truth. With the assistance of a pliant or sympathetic media, the Statist uses junk science, misrepresentations, and fearmongoring to promote public health and environmental scares, because he realizes that in a true, widespread health emergency, the public expects the government to act aggressively to address the crisis, despite traditional limitations on governmental authority.

Montana’s Firearms Freedom Act Battle Against Obama’s Power Grab
August 25, 2009
Many conservative Americans and those who still understand and cherish the United States Constitution as the glue that keeps our nation free, cheered at the signing of the Montana Firearms Freedom Act, an act signed by Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer and set to take effect on October 1, 2009. The Act essentially declares that any guns or certain parts manufactured in Montana and remain in Montana are not subject to the strong arm of the federal government. It’s an ambitious battle that could have sweeping consequences for Americans and derail the Statists’ progressive, manipulative, incrementalism aimed at total control over free citizens of this country.
Much of the basis for formulating this act has been the attempted revival of the 10th Amendment. Read more
U.S. Citizens Moving Toward Conservatism?
July 7, 2009
I’m not buying it! According to Gallop, a new poll shows that more Americans say they are becoming more conservative in their political views than liberal.
That might be what the poll says and that might be what those polled actually said but I’m not buying that it is true. I think those polled have the perception they are conservative (and I honestly don’t think they know what that means) and/or they don’t want to be directly associated with some of the real whacked out leaders on the left – and I certainly can’t blame them for that.
