It’s Official: Senator Rand Paul Is Running For President, DeceptiCONS Strike Back

Mandeville, LA - I score Senator Rand Paul​'s announcement for the Presidency as a 75-80% win for [r]epublicans AND Christians (he called for the protection of religious liberties). We won't come anywhere close to this number again unless Ron Paul​ or Gary Johnson​ decides to run again. Paul has polished his public speaking and does not come off like a demagogue (see any Senator Ted Cruz​ speech) and sounds authentic […]

Rand Paul: DeceptiCONS Claim Another Soul For Never Ending War

Mandeville, LA - You may not have noticed that Senator Rand Paul signed the GOP letter to the Iranians. I won't speculate on the Reason behind Paul's political posturing here but it can be noted that unlike his father, Senator Paul is not committed to rejecting DeceptiCON foreign policy out of principle any longer (he's even warmed to being a Bibi Netanyahu jingoist). It is becoming clear that Paul's view […]

Mandeville, LA - In another of the trillions of signs that "conservatives" left the GOP at about the same time Elvis went missing, the GOP opposition to President Obama's $478 BILLION "public works" bill has all the elements we've come to expect and that's the problem: where is the Constitution? Rep Paul Ryan one of the "conservative" usual suspects conceded the "transportation bill" part of Obama's scheme but objects to […]

“A More Perfect Union” Tells Federalist vs Anti-Federalists Story

Mandeville, LA - This well written pamphlet created for the National Archives' celebration of the Constitution's bi-centennial "A More Perfect Union" contains some gems in it such as "Federalists vs Anti-Federalists.
