While we’ve all had a good laugh (at least I hope you did) at former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s decrees on 16-ounce sodas, calorie counts and trans fats, there are many other instances of the government’s irrational need to tell everyone else how to live and coerce them into compliance. Some more examples of government […]
Wow, this was a banner week for liberals and their “tolerance” of differing opinions, proving again that liberalism cannot survive open and honest debate. First of all Charles Krauthammer, a columnist and Fox News contributor, found himself in hot water with the global warming crowd, who demanded that the Washington Post refuse to publish his […]
As we commemorate Presidents’ Day this week, it’s a good time to take a glimpse of the man George Washington was destined to become by dusting off his Rules of Civility & Decent Behaviour In Company and Conversation. Written by our first president as a teenager, the document is still relevant today (although we hope we […]
You’ve been robbed. According to the FBI, the chances of actually catching a thief in the act are slim to none. In this case, however, the thieves have been caught red-handed. In 2012, new Senate President Justin Alfond, D-Portland, and House Speaker Mark Eves, D-North Berwick, vowed to work with their Republican colleagues, who had […]
The big news from President Obama’s State of the Union address isn’t some new program (thank goodness for small mercies), but his aggressive plans on executive action. So much for a government of laws. Obama said at a Jan. 14 Cabinet meeting, “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone — and I can […]
A Washington Post-ABC poll published Tuesday found that almost half of Americans think Obamacare will result in an overall worse standard of health care in the country. And six in 10 believe it will mean higher overall costs. Seventy-two percent of voters who disapprove of the job President Obama, congressional Democrats and congressional Republicans are […]
Photo Credit: Troy R. Bennett, BDN Here we go again. Senate President Justin Alfond, who was born into wealth, last week put on his war paint to gin up yet another attack on those who want to protect the overburdened Maine taxpayer. This time he claims that Gov. Paul LePage has declared “war on the […]
It’s an old marketing maxim — sex sells. And since nothing else is helping Obamacare sell (fewer than 27,000 people have successfully signed up for health insurance through the dangerously insecure federal Obamacare website), supporters in Colorado have decided to give this notion a try. A raunchy ad campaign by ProgressNow Colorado and the Colorado […]
Rep. Amy Volk, R-Scarborough, found herself at once horrified and inspired. After reading a report by the Polaris Project ranking Maine in the bottom half of states for anti-human trafficking laws and listening to the co-founder of a human trafficking rescue organization speak at her church, she decided to introduce a bill that would let courts vacate the criminal […]
Last week, one of Maine’s largest radical left wing groups decided to put the Informed Women’s Network on the map by infiltrating a private event where Gov. Paul LePage was speaking, sending two young apparatchicks (misspelling intended) to make a secret recording of the meeting. One smirked as she slunk out. “Yeah, I had to […]
