If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy
one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, then no one should have one.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is, he wants to ban all meat products for everyone.
If Black or Hispanic men are conservative, they see themselves as independently
successful.
Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government
protection.
If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

HALF-FULL REPORT 11/06/09 |

Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey never put on a circus
better than the one being played for your entertainment right now, today
(11/06), on Capitol Hill. Pelosi Galore
is in a state of screaming rage and panicked desperation, making every bribe
and threat she can to get the votes for PelosiCare to pass tomorrow, Saturday.
She knows that if Members can go home for the weekend and
get a load of their constituents' volcanic anger before the vote, her bill is
toast. So hundreds of Members are having
the Congressional Travel Office hold two flight reservations for them, one for
this evening, another for tomorrow night.
They are waiting for Steny Hoyer (Pelosi's Segundo) to complete his
count.
Then, if he announces late this afternoon there will be a
vote tomorrow, it means he thinks he has enough. If he announces a postponement, it means he
doesn't.
As Jack Kelly
says, bullying from a position of weakness isn't very smart. Trying to threaten people into committing
suicide may work for Moslem crazies, but rarely for politicians, even
Democrats. It is going to be so much fun
watching this slow-motion train wreck.

BAJA DEMOCRATS |

Cabo
San Lucas, Baja California. The balcony view from a suite at the Marquis Los Cabos overlooking the Sea
of Cortez is breathtaking. My wife Rebel and I are here attending a
business conference - but at the moment, we are enjoying a margarita and a
spectacular sunset in the ocean.
Ever-observant, Rebel notices that my eyes have become
unfocused, and asks what I'm thinking about.
"Nicholas Trist," I answer.
"Who's he?" she asks. "One of the
great jerks of American history," I respond.
She takes a sip of her margarita, gazes out upon the shimmering sheet of
sunlit blue in front of us, and waits for the rest of the story.
So here it is. Starting almost 500 years ago, it's ultimately about the negative value of Baja Democrats.

BULLYING FROM A POSITION OF WEAKNESS |

Why
should I die on this hill he's chosen?
If
you were a cavalryman with Custer at the Little Big Horn on the afternoon of June 25, 1876, it was a little late to be asking this question.
But
if you're one of the 84 Democrats who represent districts carried either by
George W. Bush in 2004 or John McCain last year, the time to ponder this
is before casting a potential career-terminating vote on health care "reform."
The
gubernatorial elections Tuesday (11/03) in Virginia and New
Jersey were, for
Democrats in swing districts, either a nightmare or a wakeup call, depending
upon their state of wakefulness. And perhaps Ms. Pelosi might consider waking up from her zombie trance to ask herself if it is really wise to bully from a position of weakness.

SHOULD WE MOVE TO PUERTO RICO? |

Friday, 06 November 2009 |
Have you noticed that many politicians who have trouble
dealing with reality also seem to prefer fantasyland when dealing with budgets?
New York politicians have been living in political
fantasyland for many years. Upper-income people living in New York City have
faced the highest state and local income tax rates in the country (over 12 %).
Recent studies show high-income earners are in mass flight from New York to
friendlier tax environments.
The rational thing for New York politicians to do would
be to cut tax rates to make New York more competitive; but no, they increased taxes on the top earners (many
of whom continue to pack their bags).
The new Republican governor of Puerto Rico, Luis G. Fortuño, wants to entice them and other productive Americans to his island. He is determined to provide tax advantages that no state can, even those with no state income tax. It may be an offer you'll find hard to refuse.

AS THE WORLD BURNS |

As USS New York, forged with steel
from the Twin Towers,
prepares to join the fleet, she will enter a world of crises. As we obsess over
worthless Afghan real estate, truly vital problems loom abroad.
Violent challenges to our security and strategic position are slighted or
ignored, while a combination of politics, pride and inertia bind us to a
distant land of marginal relevance.
The crises highlighted below are not in order of priority. Any of
them could take a painful bite out of Washington's
complacency:

WHAT YOU SAY AND DO REALLY MATTERS |
|
|
|
Written by Dr. Joel Wade

|
Friday, 06 November 2009 |
There are a lot of big political and social forces that we focus on here at
To The Point, as well we should. What our government does can have a very real
and tangible effect on our lives, and when it goes bad, there can be horrible
consequences.
There is, however, a world that usually
matters more, and has a greater effect on our lives and our culture than we
often acknowledge.
Your personal relationships, and even those people who are three degrees of
separation away from your personal relationships - friends of friends of
friends - are your sphere of influence... and you are theirs. What you say and do
makes a real impact on those around you and even on those a moderate distance
away. I'm going to show you why you have more say about the
standards of our culture than you may give yourself credit for.

THE CHOICES & POWER PLAN B WORKSHOP |

Friday, 30 October 2009 |
You're well aware of the "Remember The Alamo" Rendezvous VII
in San Antonio January 29-31. It's where TTPers gather together as a family
for a weekend of learning, conviviality, and the joyous fun of being with
fellow pro-Americans.
My brilliant bride, Rebel, who authors TTP's Plan B column,
can hardly wait for San Antonio,
like me. And now she has come up with a
brilliant idea to hold a special one-day Plan B Workshop devoted to enabling
you to preserve and protect your financial security.
The Choices & Power
Financial Plan B Workshop will be held on December 9th in St.
Louis. Rebel
asked me to be there and speak, and I enthusiastically agreed. She's lined up star speakers like Chuck
Butler, publisher of The Daily Pfennig;
Frank Trotter, founding partner of Everbank; and Erika Nolan, executive
director of The Sovereign Society.
Rebel has fire in her eyes when she talks about this. She's seriously determined to help TTPers get
out of harm's way in 2010. How
serious? She explained to me:

HALF-FULL REPORT 10/30/09 |

Have you heard the latest joke in Stockholm? The Swedes love to poke fun at Norwegians
whom they consider their Scandinavian country bumpkin cousins (like Canadians
tell "Newfie" jokes about folks from Newfoundland).
The Swedish Nobel Committee awards all the real prizes,
while the one in Norway
gets to award the Peace prize as a consolation.
So the Swedes couldn't resist ridiculing the Norwegian committee's
latest lunacy. "Heard the news?" they're
asking. "Obama just won the Nobel Fis
Prize."
"Fis" is pronounced as rhyming with "peace." It means "fart"
in Swedish - a particularly long and odiferous one. The Swedes find it doubly funny because "fis"
has the same meaning in Norwegian.
***
Speaking of jokes reminds me of Newt Gingrich...

THE DEMOCRATS' DARK DEPRESSION SECRET |
|
|
|
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler
|
|
Thursday, 29 October 2009 |
What do you think of when you hear or see a
reference to The Great Depression of the 1930s?
What emotions come up for you?
For you and other normal Americans, words like
"catastrophe" and "nightmare" come to mind, along with images of unemployment
lines blocks long, soup kitchens, and heartbreaking poverty. All the emotions associated with it are
negative. America would have been
incredibly better off if The Great Depression had never happened, right?
You may think and feel that way, but Democrats
- the folks who run the Democrat Party - don't. You may consider The Great Depression to be
the worst thing that ever happened to
America, next to the Civil
War. But for the Democrats, it was the best. After all, the Democrats built their political
power on The Great Depression and are very thankful for it.
Further, it's their template. If The Great Depression was their path to
power before, then replicating it today is seen as the way to maintain their
power into the future. This is the
Democrats' Dark Depression Secret.
Explains a lot, doesn't it?

AMERICAS FUTURE AND THE EAST COAST |

Thursday, 29 October 2009 |
Wasilla, Alaska.
As I stand here in a high school gymnasium watching freshmen girls'
basketball games, I'm struck by the sight of America's
future right in front of me - these tenacious young women full of energy and intensity.
I want them to realize every opportunity this great, free nation can provide.
There are big political races on the East Coast that are coming down to the
wire - the results of which will impact policies and political actions that
touch all of us in every state.
Like other independent Americans, I don't always see
eye-to-eye with Republican political committees, so when I tell you that the
Republican Governors Association has my complete support and confidence in its
campaign efforts back East, know that I really mean it.
The RGA is helping lead the conservative comeback beginning
this year, and its involvement in the East Coast races is significant. Let's consider the governor's race in New Jersey.

A FIGHT FOR AMERICA |
|

|
Written by Doug Hoffman

Sunday, 25 October 2009 |
The reason I'm running for office in New York's 23rd Congressional District is because the American Dream is quickly becoming a nightmare.
Unemployment grows, our economy is in crisis, and our
elected officials seem out of touch with reality. They are addicted to spending. When they run low on funds
they simply create a new tax or raise an old one. Taxes, the deficit, red tape and regulation are breaking the
back of the nation, mortgaging the future of our children and grandchildren.
Americans have had enough and are vocalizing their anger in
town hall meetings and on the streets of Washington.
They are mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore!
That's why I am running. I am one of them!
Freedom is what
Americans want. Economic freedom to reap the rewards of the free enterprise
system, personal freedom from the intrusion of big government in our lives,
freedom from the nanny state that is being forced upon us.

THE STRUGGLE FOR THE SOUL OF ISLAM |
|
|

Written by Patrick Sookhdeo

Friday, 30 October 2009 |

Recent months have seen a number of unexpected and extremely encouraging statements coming out of the Moslem world. Respected, mainstream Moslem leaders in a variety of countries have voiced opinions which are at odds with traditional, conservative Islam.
They have challenged aspects of shari‘a and are calling for a liberal, modernist, enlightened Islam compatible with Western norms. Perhaps the most significant of all is a report by a group of British Moslems calling for an end to the apostasy law and for full freedom in all religious matters.
Significant cracks seem to be forming within the mainstream Islam. Important mainstream leaders are coming out against long-held key traditional views and Wahhabi-Salafi doctrines and practices, openly supporting ideas compatible with modernity.
Here are some examples.

A STUPID AND SHABBY WHITE HOUSE |

Written by Jack Kelly

Tuesday, 27 October 2009 |
The Obama administration did a shabby and stupid
thing last week.
If you're a conservative, you're probably asking:
"Which shabby and stupid thing was that?" But this was a shabby and
stupid thing prominent Democrats think
was shabby and stupid.
Virginia and New
Jersey have
gubernatorial elections next week. Polls indicate that in Virginia the
Republican candidate, Bob McDonnell, is likely to win a comfortable, perhaps a
landslide victory over Democrat Creigh Deeds.
The White House evidently agrees with the
polls. Last week the Washington Post ran a story under the headline: "Top Democrats Seek to Shield Obama in Case
of Election Loss." The Post means Dems at the White House. Other Dems think its shabby abd stupid to bury one of your own before an election.
