Big Government: Hating On Apple

Apple is one of the most innovative companies America has ever seen – a provider of quality products that enrich people’s lives. It also creates jobs and investment, and tax revenue  - which in a well-managed country would be devoted exclusively to core functions by a limited, unobtrusive government that respected individual freedom and free [...]

Lindsey Graham Just Sucks

Sixteen “Republicans” broke ranks and voted with Democrats this week to open the door for further erosion of our Second Amendment rights.
And of course one of them was U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (RINO-S.C.) – who has never met a core conservative issue he hasn’t sold out.
“I welcome a debate on the Second Amendment in the [...]

Mace In Graham’s Face?

So while we were slacking off over the weekend the website Buzzfeed broke a big story about one of this website’s partners, Charleston, S.C. liberty leader Nancy Mace.

Senator Judd?

Hollywood hottie Ashley Judd is seriously contemplating a bid for the United States Senate in her quasi-home state of Kentucky.

Lindsey Graham Will Violate Tax Pledge

SOUTH CAROLINA “REPUBLICAN” CONFIRMS HIS TAX-AND-SPEND PHILOSOPHY
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (RINO-S.C.) proudly announced this week that he will violate his pledge not to raise taxes on the American people.
“When you’re $16 trillion in debt, the only pledge we should be making to each other is to avoid becoming Greece, and Republicans — Republicans should put [...]

Curtis Loftis For U.S. Senate?

THAT’S WHAT SOUTH CAROLINA LIMITED GOVERNMENT LEADERS ARE PUSHING FOR
“There go my people. I must find out where they are going so I can lead them.”
It was equivocating French politician Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin who is credited with turning that most exquisite of phrases … but we’ve seen it applied accurately to present-day politicians on innumerable [...]

Eric Cantor’s “Young Gun” Sellout

GROUP FORMED TO PROMOTE CONSERVATIVE HOUSE CANDIDATES URGES INDIANA DEMOCRATS TO BACK RINO
U.S. Majority Leader Eric Cantor was elevated to his powerful legislative leadership perch last year thanks to the rise of the Tea Party movement.
So then … why is a group with ties to Cantor spending money in an effort to reelect one of [...]

WWTDD?

Last Friday, S.C. Senator Tom Davis (R-Beaufort) learned that no one had filed to run against him for the South Carolina Senate.
Seriously … no Republican, no Democrat … nobody.
That’s not surprising … and yet on another level it is surprising.
It’s not surprising because Davis is a taxpayer hero who is immensely popular in the South [...]

Barack Obama’s Oops On “Fairness”

U.S. President Barack Obama’s latest push to “spread the wealth around” (even more so than he’s done already) hit a speed bump on Thursday when it was revealed that dozens of his staffers owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes.
Specifically, a recent report from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) revealed that thirty-six of [...]
