Just when you thought things couldn’t get any crazier in California, one of their leading politicians steps up to the plate. Ian Calderon, the Democratic majority leader in California’s lower house has decided that the big problem his state needs to address is straws. Yes, straws. Not taxes, not immigration, not crime, not the abysmal California budget. Straws.
Calderon has introduced a bill to stop restaurants from offering their customers a straw unless they ask for one. The penalty set forth in the bill for giving an unrequested straw is up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. I suppose they think the thousand dollars isn’t much since Nancy Pelosi said a thousand dollars is just “crumbs.”
Calderon said in a press release that his bill is designed to “create awareness around the issue of one-time-use plastic straws and its detrimental effects on our landfills, waterways, and oceans.”
Six months in jail and $1,000. For […] → Keep reading

Yesterday, I happened to overhear two coworkers discussing how much better off we’d be if conservatives would just disappear. I’m sure that would be a dream come true for them as liberals have always seen conservatism as a roadblock to utopia. With unfettered liberalism, our society would quickly become unrecognizable. It got me thinking just what they would do if liberals had no one opposing them. It’s a horrifying scenario.
Guns would be confiscated and destroyed. Not even the police would be allowed to have weapons. The only people left with weapons would be the criminals. And the jihadis. Abortion on demand, anytime, for any age, with no restrictions and one hundred percent taxpayer-funded. Minimum wage will be at least fifteen dollars an hour. All employers are now required to provide paid sick leave, vacation, family leave, and healthcare. Consequently, your burger will now cost you $24.99. Plus tax, of course. Government installations will be constructed along the border to […] → Keep reading

While watching the news from the St. Louis area unfold last night I could not help but draw some comparisons between the looting and destruction going on and the liberalism that has infested our country. If you have missed it on the news, a black teenager named Michael Brown was shot and killed on Saturday by police in Ferguson, MO, which is a suburb community on the north side of the St. Louis metro area. Currently, there are conflicting accounts of exactly what happened that led to Brown’s death, with some saying he was surrendering with his arms raised and was shot by police anyway while others say Brown fought with a police officer and attempted to get control of his weapon, being shot by the officer in self-defense. The St. Louis Police Department is conducting an independent investigation and I read this morning that the Federal Bureau of Investigation may be asked to investigate. No word at press time […] → Keep reading

If you believe an 18-year-old burger-flipper should be paid $31,200 a year, you just might be a liberal. ($15 an hour X 40 hours a week X 52 weeks)
If you believe Bush waiting 7 minutes before issuing orders on 9-11 is reprehensible, but Obama & Clinton waiting 7 hours and doing nothing while men died in Benghazi was fine, you just might be a liberal.
If you believe a single cell found on Mars would indicate life, but that a fetus is not life, you just might be a liberal.
If you believe the government should tell corporations what they can pay their CEOs, you just might be a liberal.
If you believe people should not have guns, but you hire armed bodyguards, you just might be a liberal.
If you believe the rich are evil, but vote for a millionaire to be your Congressman, you just might be a liberal.
If you booed adding recognition of God to […] → Keep reading

Detroit is considered to be one of the most dangerous cities in the United States, if not the most dangerous. Decades of neglect and Democrat rule have turned the once great city into the largest municipal Chapter 9 bankruptcy in American history and a decaying wasteland with thousands of abandoned homes and buildings. Crime and violence have replaced prosperity to the point where a citizen of Detroit is statistically more likely to be killed than is an American soldier serving in Afghanistan. Although the homicide rate dropped in 2013, Detroit had the same number of murders as New York City, which has 11 times the population of Detroit. The crime problem was definitely not lost on Police Chief James Craig, who took the job just last summer. He has made several changes to the department, including putting more emphasis on crime statistics to identify trouble spots and getting rid of a ‘virtual precinct’ concept that his predecessor started, which closed […] → Keep reading

Liberals hate America. There’s no denying it. When people do their best to completely destroy something it is not because they love it; it’s because of hatred. And liberals are doing everything within their power (and seizing new powers) to destroy America. Yes, of course they will angrily disagree and claim they only want to make America more ‘fair’ or more ‘global.’ Nonsense. The America they want is not the America the Founders envisioned and certainly not the America created by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
I have asked some of my liberal friends on more than one occasion to name the part of the Constitution that gives the government the authority to take money from me and give it to other people. None have ever been able to answer. While taxation is a necessary thing, to a certain degree (and I would argue the income tax is not needed), seizing part of someone’s salary and handing it […] → Keep reading

Peter Hitchens of the U.K.’s Mail Online has the quote of the week in his article which slams the Prime Minister for having “no idea what to do” about the riots:
“Water cannon and plastic bullets indeed. What an utter admission of failure, that after 50 years of the most lavish welfare state in the solar system, you cannot govern your country without soaking the citizenry in cold water and bombarding them with missiles from a safe distance. Except, of course, that it is because of the welfare system that this is so.”
Ahhh, what liberalism hath wrought. Watch and learn, America.
