And so it continues, and we should all be so proud of the "congressional adults" who passed spending legislation that will keep government open for the next 9 months without a congressional shutdown ... Or Should we?

You've gotta love this civility, peace and love crowd. When they ran things into the ground in Raleigh, they frequently shut down GOP and conservative protests by lecturing about the need for "civility."

The House passes and sends to the Senate a bill funding the Government (but for ObamaCare) through mid-December. Harry Reid pronounces it dead on arrival and claims that the Reps are trying to shut down the Government.

Where in the world did the notion that the Reps are the villains who keep threatening to shut down the government come from?? The Anointed One says it; Harry Reid says it; Nancy P. says it; it turns up in all the Dem talking points papers.

During the last election cycle, someone suggested that it was time that someone (I believe it was a Dem, but don't remember which one) should "Man up." Actually, it is also time for the Reps. to "man up". (No offense to those of the female persuasion.)

Regular readers of this site know we tend to be highly critical of congresswoman Renee Ellmers (R-NC-2). Miss Renee tends to give us plenty of ammo every time she gets in front of a representative of the mainstream media - like HERE.

Socialism has never worked but it is easy to sell to those who refuse to study history which is why progressives use academia as their base of operations. I'm willing to bet that "Animal Farm" and "1984" are no longer recommended reading in today's high schools.

I shouldn't care really. I have often worked harder for a cause than the cause actually deserved. It is my nature, I suppose, to toil in the vineyards diligently, and know strongly my purpose, which at one time was to do my best to actually help my Republican party to stand for something.

What Led Self-professed Conservative Walter Jones to Endorse Self-professed Liberal Arthur Williams?This system worked quite well; they were a great team - Ed was unbeatable and Arthur was to be the ascending Democrat in one local seat or another, after Ed retired, and Ed did one day retire.

This article follows the one I previously wrote, entitled "Who is Really Disenfranchised?" In that article I talked about the incessant claims of "disenfranchisement" of minority voters when no such disenfranchisement exists nor any intent to do so.

We hear a lot from the Obama administration and the Democratic Party about who in America is disenfranchised. And according to them, it certainly isn't the American taxpayer.
