Michael Bloomberg is wrong again

Is it just me, or does Michael Bloomberg seem pretty quick to dismiss the idea of a foreign terrorist? Not only that, but he seems intent on pinning it on a conservative who might not like the recent health care bill. Not surprisingly, it looks like Mayor Bloomberg was 100% wrong.

Authorities have arrested 30 year old Faisal Shahzad who was trying to escape on a flight to Dubai. Shahzad came to the United States form Pakistan in 1999 and became a U.S. citizen in 2009. It seems that many officials, like Michael Bloomberg, are reluctant to admit that this terrorist act might have originated from a foreign country, even though there is some supporting evidence. » read more

Advice for those attending a Tea Party rally on April 15th

If you are a member of the Tea Party, then you’ve probably heard about how liberals are planning to crash rallies across the country. They will likely pose as Tea Party members, while holding misspelled signs, shouting racist comments, or seek out the media to portray the movement in a bad light. The party crashers might not end up executing their plan, but if they do, you should be prepared. Here’s some advice:

1. If someone makes a racist comment, immediately shout them down. Make it known that this person does not represent the cause and that their opinions aren’t welcomed.

3. Be peaceful and respectful. The way you carry yourself is a reflection of the movement. » read more

New fuel efficiency standards are important for national security

A very rare thing happened this week: Barack Obama did something I agree with. The administration raised fuel efficiency standards on automobiles and SUV’s to an average of 35.5 miles per gallon. I know that many fellow conservatives are up in arms about this decision, but I think it’s a good decision which is long overdue.

There are already complaints about the new regulation relating to the increased cost of new automobiles and the reluctance to do anything to improve global warming, since many find the science inconclusive. As for the cost, it could be substantial. New car prices may rise up to $1,000. That’s certainly nothing to sneeze at, but this extra cost will certainly pay for itself in reduced fuel costs. Besides, once the car companies begin making more fuel efficient cars on a large scale, the economies of scale will likely kick in and bring this upfront increase down. » read more
