I don’t know how I could have missed this story. The president has already killed 23,000 jobs when he banned off shore drilling. Now he’s got his sites set on private fishermen in New England. He and Jane Lubchenko (how apropos that her name sounds like a throwback to the old Soviet Union days), his [...]

It’s not all seriousness around here
by Kim Priestap on 29. Aug, 2010 in Uncategorized
Yes, our country faces a lot of serious issues today, but that doesn’t mean we have to be serious all the time. If we can’t let go and release some stress, it will eat up our insides. So here’s a palate cleanser to help clear out the heady, heavy thoughts from our brains so we [...]
Denver Post Editorial: Stop the insanity – no more Keynesian economics
by Kim Priestap on 29. Aug, 2010 in Economics
The newest economic numbers are far worse than anyone – meaning the brilliant economists who called for massive government spending in the face of the recession – ever anticipated. New home sales and existing home sales fell dramatically in July. And now the 3.7 percent economic growth in the second quarter that the White House [...]
Restoring Honor rally
by Kim Priestap on 28. Aug, 2010 in United States Constitution
Today Glenn Beck hosted his Restoring Honor rally in Washington, DC at the Lincoln Memorial. I was not able to go, but my parents did. About 10:30 this morning he called and said that the crowds were so heavy in DC that the lines at the Metro were an hour long just to buy a [...]
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse: Ground Zero mosque could get millions in public financing
by Kim Priestap on 27. Aug, 2010 in Big Government, Islam
This is utterly insane. For years liberals and atheists used the separation of church and state as a means to push Christianity out of the public square. Today, however, we read that Democrat officials in New York City say the Ground Zero mosque could qualify to receive $70 million dollars in taxpayer money public financing*. [...]
Steve Forbes calls it as he sees it
by Kim Priestap on 27. Aug, 2010 in Barack Obama, Economics
Steve Forbes went on to Fox News to talk with Martha McCallum about President Obama and his agenda for America. He called it as he saw it, and I can’t say I disagree with him. Â President Obama has an agenda that no one understands or can see the logic of. Â People wonder how what he’s [...]
The source of progressives’ power grab: the Commerce Clause
by Kim Priestap on 26. Aug, 2010 in Commerce clause, Economics, United States Constitution
The progressives have spent decades usurping power from individuals and the states and placing it under the control of the federal government. They’ve done it incrementally so most people haven’t felt much of an impact in their day to day lives. Consequently, millions of Americans didn’t realize how badly their rights had been eroded until [...]
Two different definitions of liberty
by Kim Priestap on 25. Aug, 2010 in Barack Obama
Every night when it’s time for the kids go to bed my husband or I read them a book before we kiss them goodnight and turn off the lights. Most nights we read Where the Wild Things Are, Ferdinand, or Corduroy. Sometimes my husband reads from one of the Hardy Boys books he collected when [...]
Is the Obama administration capable of fixing the economy?
by Kim Priestap on 24. Aug, 2010 in Barack Obama, Economics, Politicians
People have begun to wonder lately why the Obama administration appears paralyzed in the face of a worsening economy. Â Obama supporters scratch their heads, completely flummoxed at how Obama’s people could run a competent campaign that made very few mistakes but get into office and not know what they are doing. What’s up with their [...]
The bad news keeps getting worse: existing home sales fell 27% in July
by Kim Priestap on 24. Aug, 2010 in Big Government, Economics, Free market, Politicians
Home sales of existing homes fell in July by 27%. According to the Associated Press, this was the largest monthly drop since 1968. President Obama traveled the country declaring this to be a recovery summer but no one really took him seriously. The American people could feel things were bad and getting worse, and today’s [...]
What I think
I am a wife and a mom to three kids. I am also a constitutional conservative.
My goal in life to raise children who will grow up to be hard working, kind, disciplined, independent, and productive adults.
I want them to grow up believing in the greatness of America because of its foundational commitment to individual freedom and liberty.
There is a lot in this world that is unknowable, but these things I know for sure:
- The United States Constitution is the most brilliant document ever conceived and written.
- The free market is a liberating power. It will always produce better results than a government program.
- Capitalism is the most efficient means of distributing wealth.
- Ronald Reagan was the best thing to happen to the United States in the past 100 years.
