Symptom of the Disease: Journalist thinks Connecticut governor must “win” money for state

By Steve McGough / December 30, 2010 /

Yes, I understand the current political climate requires town finance managers to beg for money from the state, and state leaders must beg for money from the federal government, but can we agree this is a problem? Actually, it’s incrementally grown from a small issue to what any well-informed TEA Party member would refer to…

Missouri taking back state’s rights on gun control

By Steve McGough / April 4, 2014 /

This is somewhat interesting step for states looking to take back powers not prescribed in the US Constitution from the federal government.

Liberal journalist deems Constitution too damn hard to read – it’s “not a clear document”

By Steve McGough / December 30, 2010 /

Continuing the theme of journalists who just don’t get it and/or always have their head two feet deep in the sand … we’ve got a Washington Post columnist who thinks the United States Constitution is just too damn hard to understand since it was written so long ago. This guy is pathetic.

Murphy on First Amendment: Should not apply to corporations (groups of people)

By Steve McGough / June 20, 2013 /

Really, isn’t a company, corporation, church, advocacy group or union just a group of people? Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) don’t think so, and they do not think the ACLU, Sierra Club, NRA or the media – all corporations – deserve First Amendment protection. The senators want to exclude corporations like the…

Time magazine author totally misrepresents US Constitution

By Steve McGough / June 23, 2011 /

What a hit piece on the Founding Fathers. I could barely get through three of five pages of Richard Stengel’s article in Time magazine online today. He twists the US Constitution like every good liberal always does. This is nothing new. Democrat and liberal politicians have done this for years. Time to call out the…

We are not looking for the conservative Barack Obama

By Steve McGough / November 5, 2010 /

Dana Loesch at Big Government makes an important point this morning as conservatives soon head back to Washington with more skin in the game. Although conservatives do need leaders and mentors across the United States, we are in no way in need of a figurehead for a “new” movement. I’m fine with our Founding Fathers…

The Spending Clause – Article I, Section 8 – and the general welfare

By Steve McGough / October 29, 2009 /

With the Sound Off Sister providing legal commentary on the General Welfare clause, I thought I’d toss in my opinion since the subject is closely tied to my Symptom of the Disease series. With no doubt, the interpretation of the Spending Clause is the root of many problems we have right now. Let’s take a…

Compare ‘promote’ and ‘provide’ in your dictionary and get back to me

By Steve McGough / August 17, 2009 /

I have not been blogging as much as I would like lately and there is no one good reason. It’s summer and I’d rather be out riding my bike, I’ve been busy at work, have a couple of other projects in the works and, well, it’s summer. That said, sometimes I feel like a broken…

Life gets better with cash to spend – until you have to pay it back

By Steve McGough / April 10, 2009 /

Hold firm. For the next couple of months – maybe even for the next couple of years – you’re going to hear things are getting better, President Obama’s plan is going to work. As a matter of fact, I just heard a commentator on Fox News note things are getting better so why would we…

The Oath of Office – Does it Really Count for Anything?

By Steve McGough / April 13, 2008 / Comments Off on The Oath of Office – Does it Really Count for Anything?

Again, Walter Williams hits the nail on the head. He may just be one of the most important conservative writers of my time, and I appreciate his style. This site is a primer for those interested in supporting a conservative platform. Not the Republican party platform, but a conservative platform. When it comes to the…
