A typical example of this is Barack Obama and his team of environmental advisors. It is this group which championed the cap and trade legislation that will lead to higher energy prices for all Americans. (Yes… another “tax” that they aren’t calling a tax, but we covered that yesterday.) In a recent statement, Obama’s Energy Secretary Steven Chu likened the American people to teenagers who need the proper “adult” supervision when it comes to the environment. In other words, put your faith (and freedom) in government. Read the rest of this entry »

Obama spokesman says Democrats could lose House
Posted by Associated Press, July 12, 2010
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s party could lose its House majority in this fall’s elections, his spokesman said Sunday, perhaps trying to jolt Democratic voters with the specter of GOP lawmakers rolling back White House policies.
“I think there’s no doubt there are enough seats in play that could cause Republicans to gain control. There’s no doubt about that,” press secretary Robert Gibbs told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Taxed Out of State
Posted by State Representative Kevin Petersen, May 7, 2009
You may have heard the news rumbling through Wisconsin about Harley Davidson. In an effort to fill gaps between expenses and profits, Harley Davidson Inc. must cut $54 million in annual operating costs. To offset the difference, one of the options Harley is considering is relocating its Wisconsin factories to another state. Read the rest of this entry »
Clowns to the Left, Jokers on the Right
Posted by Debra Saunders, March 30, 2010
When activists break the law protesting Republican policies, it is because lefties care so much. But when conservatives act likewise, it’s because they are loudmouths and louts.
So TV tells me. During an interview last week with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., NBC’s Ann Curry observed that former GOP running mate Sarah Palin, who was about to stump for McCain over the weekend, had told supporters, “Don’t retreat, instead — reload” and posted on her Facebook page “a map highlighting weak Democratic districts that conservatives should target with a crosshair symbol.

Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wi.): Hiding Spending Doesn’t Reduce Spending
Posted by Ron Heuer, Feb 26, 2010
Wisconsinites can be proud of Congressman Paul Ryan as he was chosen to represent the Republican side at the Obama Health Care summit yesterday. The following copy are excerpts from Congressman Ryan’s address. The entire address is posted below with a U-Tube video.
Ryan is the Budget Committee Ranking Member, and he walked through why the bill put forward by Democrats FAILS the Presidents deficit test. As according to Obama,
“I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits — either now or in the future.” (Remarks by President Obama to a Joint Session of Congress, September 9, 2009)

The Other Stupid Things John Brennan Said
Posted by Michelle Malkin, February 17, 2010
It’s bad enough that John Brennan, President Obama’s national security deputy, thinks Gitmo jihadi recidivism is “not that bad.” But in his talk last week with Islamic law students at New York University, Brennan made even more reckless comments about our counterterrorism programs while pandering to one of the worst Muslim grievance-mongers and sharia peddlers in America.
During the question-and-answer session, Brennan welcomed a question from Omar Shahin. He identified himself as the head of the “North American Imams Federation.” What he didn’t mention was his role as the chief ringleader of the infamous flying imams. You remember them: They were the six Muslim clerics whose suspicious behavior — provocatively shouting “Allahu Akbar!” before boarding the plane, fanning out in the cabin before take-off, refusing to sit in their assigned seats, requesting seat-belt extenders, which they placed on the floor — led to their removal by a U.S. Airways crew in 2006.

The ‘Government’ is Smarter than You about the Environment
Posted by Bobby Eberle, September 23, 2009 at 7:08 am
We all know the mindset of the left-wing elite… put a few of the “chosen ones” together, and they will decide what is best for the rest of the country. They believe that Americans are idiots and it is up to them to save the country by having the government take over as much as possible.

Shoreland Zoning - Analyzing NR115
Posted by State Representative Kevin Petersen, July 31, 2009
Wisconsin’s current shoreland zoning rules have been in effect since January of 1968. They regulate the development within 300 feet of a river and 1,000 feet of a lake or the flood plain high water mark, whichever is greater, in all unincorporated areas of the state. Like most government regulation, the rules cause discontent for property owners and regulators.
Since 1998, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has been working on a rewrite of Wisconsin Administrative Code, Natural Resources Chapter 115 (Shoreland Zoning). According to the DNR, the new rule, a product of tens of thousands of public comments and numerous statewide hearings, would protect lakes and rivers by providing more flexibility for property owners and by streamlining the permitting process.

Are They Real?
Posted by: State Representative Kevin Petersen - June 4, 2009
We’ve all heard the philosophical question asking “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” Concurrently, if the governor has a tax increasing press conference or if the Joint Finance Committee raises taxes while Wisconsinites are enjoying a holiday weekend, are the additional taxes real?
After meeting just twice during the month of May, Joint Finance Committee co-chairs Representative Mark Pocan (D – Madison) and Senator Mark Miller (D – Monona) scheduled meetings and budgetary votes for the Friday and Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Read the rest of this entry »
