2010 August 3 by Evil Conservative

The Drudge Report headline yesterday in red and all caps “SHOCK VIDEO: DEM CONGRESSMAN BRAGS: ‘FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN DO MOST ANYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY’…”

From the Front Lines of the Health Care Mess

2010 June 4 by Evil Conservative

There is a provision within the recently passed Health Care Bill that mandates all employer-funded insurance plans allow dependents of employees to be offered coverage up to age 26.

Crony Socialism – It’s Greek to Me

2010 May 11 by Evil Conservative

So you’re done with all these surgeries right?
Well, I might want to get my boobs done again. I want them to be bigger. I want them to be H – for Heidi.

We Don’t Have a lot of Time on This Earth. We Weren’t Meant to Spend It This Way.

2010 May 3 by Evil Conservative

“I’ll tell you what the hard part is – is to stop thinking like a goddamn slave. You say the Nazis in Europe ‘If they came to my door…’ yeah, well bullshit. The time is now. What are you gonna do now? Some guy pissing in your face; c*cksucker, wants to break your rice bowl.

2010 April 7 by Evil Conservative

“It’s not the real cemetery…” - Pet Sematary by Stephen King
What else is there to say?
Anything?

The nation you were in as March began and the nation you live in now are completely different countries. I was [...]

Philalawyer Paperback is Out

2009 October 30 by Evil Conservative

This Halloween weekend will no doubt lead to all sorts of musings from us “grown ups” about our past as we watch our or our neighbors’ children.

2009 October 27 by Evil Conservative

We all know Obama is a lefty – both politically and physically. And while everyone is distracted by the healthcare debate, the elections next week, the World Series, NFL, and Halloween weekend there is a need to look at what Obama’s other hand is doing.
What he’s doing is putting in motion a plan to send [...]

2009 September 17 by Evil Conservative

As mentioned earlier this week, I recently had a back-and-forth with a gentleman I met as a result of the Philalawyer back-and-forth last month.

Republicans Should Thank You, Mr. President

2009 September 10 by Evil Conservative

2010 was probably not going to be more than modest gains for Republicans, but that was assuming a modicum of political skill by the President to stem the tide of a gathering wave of anti-Democratic sentiment.
Last night Obama had the perfect chance for a compromise that could have entailed the reduction of government regulations to [...]

Are Suburbs Really That Bad?

2009 September 1 by lloyd

Why do you suppose it is that suburbs get such a bad rap?  My own personal theory is that the upstart yokels serve as competition to the urban planners at Big City Hall and the City Hall Planners have a lot of sycophants that empathize.   Even the name Suburb is a pejorative.  A suburb is beneath [...]
