The Sins of Brett Kimberlin

Friday, May 25, 2012
By
Brett Kimberlin

I don’t often join my fellow bloggers in blogging about a specific topic. There have been worthy topics before, but that generally isn’t my style, for two reasons. I prefer writing about topics and issues that pique my interest and that I can write about on my own. Also, I usually have time for only one post each day. I will break from that routine today and write about an individual I am just learning about and who is the ultimate bully, Brett Kimberlin. You may not know who he is and information about him is hard to find,...

Irresponsible Americans and our Government

Wednesday, May 23, 2012
By
Irresponsible Government

I can’t think of a better way to describe the federal government than to call it irresponsible. What else can you call it when it is in the condition it is in? In the first two sentences of this post, I have referred to the federal government as it, but that choice of pronoun isn’t really accurate. They, or them would be better choices,...

Why Gary Johnson’s Presidential Campaign Matters

Tuesday, May 22, 2012
By
Live Free

My two-part piece on Mitt Romney last week unsurprisingly ruffled some feathers (see here and here). I knew that would be the case, but pressed on anyway. Today I want to explain why those of us in Governor Johnson’s camp not only support his campaign, but are doing so with a passion unmatched by either of the Big Two presidential supporters. First, many people...

Hillary Clinton for Vice-President in 2012?

Monday, May 21, 2012
By
Hillary Clinton

Here’s a thought that should terrify those of us looking to remove Barack Obama from the White House in November. It is looking like the lock he had on reelection isn’t so great at the moment. This is partially due to his inept record on the economy, as well as his many missteps in...

Unintended Consequences of Government Regulation

Unintended Consequences

Unintended Consequences of Government Regulation I can’t begin to count the times in recent years when it has been clear how true that statement is. Matt Ross, of Conservative Hideout, has brought it up, time after time. Often times, our government has passed a law or regulation, targeted at a specific problem, only to...

Oklahoma Republicans Unveil Tax Cut and Simplification Plan

Thursday, May 17, 2012
By
mary-fallin

I wrote this morning about Tax Reform in Oklahoma. I bemoaned the fact that Republicans finally have control of the State Legislature, and the Governor’s office, and still can’t seem to come together to pass meaningful tax reform for the citizens of our great state. Governor Mary Fallin had introduced her plan and behold,...

Tax Reform in Oklahoma

Thursday, May 17, 2012
By
mary-fallin

In case you didn’t know it, there is a battle going on in Oklahoma. It is a battle over tax reform and amazingly, it is between Republicans and Republicans, not Republicans and Democrats. Make no mistake, the Democrats don’t like the idea of simplifying the tax code in Oklahoma, but they aren’t in a...

Why Voting “Not Romney” Is Rational for Conservatives (Conclusion)

Wednesday, May 16, 2012
By
America's future? With Obama or Romney, yes.

Today I explain Romney’s total lack of comprehension of, and disregard for, the Constitution—the only defense we have against the growth of government. Yay Gun Control! At the Libertarian Party National Convention, I spoke with nominee Governor Gary Johnson, and his biggest concern with Romney is in the area of gun control, and with...

Is Ron Paul in or is Ron Paul Out?

By
Ron Paul

What’s that old saying? When the cat is away, the mice will play. That’s how I feel about the last couple of days. I had to deal with some technical issues with the blog and was unable to read a lot of news or the blogs I normally visit every day. My humble apologies...

Choosing between Obama and Romney is like deciding whether you prefer Thelma or Louise behind the wheel

Anyone who has read my writing knows I am a proud member of the Libertarian Party, and am working on the Johnson/Gray campaign. But, along with conservatives who are refusing to vote for Romney, I have been subjected to a litany of accusations. “You just want Obama to win,” some say. Others call those...

Oklahoma GOP State Convention

Monday, May 14, 2012
By
Oklahoma GOP

This is something that has been on my mind for some time. From the beginning of this primary election season, there seems to have been a lot of contention over how the process works. Personally, I believe the entire process needs to be revamped, but for the time being, it is the only process...

Happy Mother's Day

It has now been 101 days since Mom passed away and went to be with God. As this day approached, the first Mother’s Day without my Mom to call or visit and let her know how much I love her, it has become harder and harder to be of good cheer. I have to...

Labor Numbers Obama Doesn’t Want You To Know

By
Labor Numbers

HOW ABOUT THOSE LABOR NUMBERS? After yesterday’s post about Barack Obama’s revelation that he is now in favor of gay marriage, I wanted to find something else to write about. I am tired of the distractions and the campaign rhetoric that have all been designed to take our focus off the issues that should...

Obama Supports Gay Marriage, Distracts From The Economy

Obama Supports Gay Marriage

Obama Supports Gay Marriage I thought about finding something else to talk about, but Obama’s new-found support of gay marriage seems to be the topic of the day. It was also the topic of yesterday and if he has his way, the topic for tomorrow and the weekend. At the risk of sounding completely...

You can ask anyone who knows me personally to find this out. I simply can not stand anyone who is condescending to me, or to someone else. My hackles get up in a flash when I am around them and I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut. I suppose it comes down...

Vice-President Joe Biden Blames Bush For Problems With Iran

Joe Biden

I have a question for the readers of Political Realities. A poll, if you will, which you can answer in the comments. Do you believe the situation with Iran is better now than it was when Barack Obama and Joe Biden took over the controls in Washington? No, that’s not a trick question and...

Gary Johnson Will Win This Year

Libertarian Party Presidential Nominee Governor Gary Johnson and Country Thinker at the National Convention.

I attended the Libertarian Party National Convention as an Ohio delegate last weekend, as well as worked as a floor captain for Governor Johnson’s campaign (my duty was to persuade undecided voters to cast their ballots for Governor Johnson for president and Judge Jim Gray for Vice President). I came away from the Convention...

Francois Hollande

If you have read Political Realities for any length of time, you will know I seldom write about foreign news. I simply feel there is plenty of news to write about in America, without having to delve into the goings on in other countries around the world. There was, however, something happening in France...

Before I started my morning reading of news and blogs that I am subscribed to, I had already been thinking about our economy. I make no claims to be an expert, but I see what I see. I came across a blog post at The First Street Journal that really piqued my interest and...

Defense Department Defends Islam

Radical Islam

Let’s get this out of the way first. It is not the intention of this post to attack Islam. Nor is it meant to attack our military. I have the highest regard for the men and women who make great sacrifice to serve our country. However, I think it is important to put on...
