Stop the "Law Factory"

I still firmly believe that what Will Rogers said before is just as true today, that, "The only time a man's life, liberty or property are safe is when Congress is NOT in session."

I am willing to actually do something about it. When I get to the Nevada State Assembly, I will enter REPEALS for two bad laws for every new bill I bring to the floor.

I urge all who read this to give me suggestions for bad laws that should be repealed. My opponent mentioned that there is a legislative commitee which is supposed to repeal bad laws. The only example I have found of that commitee repealing anything is when they removed the word idiot from the definition of those who would not be permitted to vote in Nevada. The commitee thought the word idiot too strong a word to describe someone without the mental capacity to participate in the voting process. There are many more laws in the Nevada Revised Statutes that need repealing and many laws that have more impact than a choice of semantics.

Hit the comments with suggestions.

Thanks.

Nevada Democrat Congresswoman gets Plastic Surgery; Misses Katrina Vote

NV Dem Skips Hurricane Katrina Vote To Have Neck Lift
Mon Feb 27 2006 09:39:45 ET

Skipping last fall’s vote on the Hurricane Katrina relief bill in order to get plastic surgery was worth it, says Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Nev.), who loves her new look, ROLL CALL reports.

“For the last couple of years whenever I was on TV all I could do was look at my neck,” Berkley said in a recent online audio interview. “It was driving me crazy because my neck was starting to hang ... and it was making me very self conscious.”

Now, she joked in an interview with hosts of the Vegas-centric podcast show “The Strip,” “I have the neck of a 20-year-old and a 50-year-old body.” Until the Feb. 16 program, Berkley hadn’t said much about missing the September vote on the Katrina relief bill due to her nip-and-tuck job.

Berkley, 55, told the show’s co-hosts, Steve Friess and Miles Smith, “I decided that it was going to be very hard to hide and I’m a very public person.” And let’s face it, she said, that brilliant plastic surgeon “turned back the clock 10 years.”

Friess cracked Berkley up when he asked whether she thinks she’ll get more votes with her youthful, thinner neck. She laughed and said, “The 20-somethings! Maybe this will get them out to vote.”

Money is Better Used in Your Pocket

As I speak with people throughout District 26, some have said, "but what becomes of our public services if we restrict state government taxation?" During the 2005 Legislative session, we had a state surplus or around $830 million dollars. The largest tax increase in the history of Nevada was levied by the Legislature in 2003 and resulted in an annual tax increase of about $800 million dollars. I still maintain that the 2003 tax increase was entirely unnecessary.

I think that you decide how to use your money much better that the state government.

Iraq, Test as a Nation

Hat Tip: Michelle Malkin

Well, here is where we see if Iraq can remain a nation and not drop into civil war. I think that withstanding this test will confirm Iraq's ability to remain a long standing democratic republic in the Middle East. Of course nobody knows the outcome now but here is a test presented early and further proof that Islamic extremeists will stop at nothing to defeat freedom.

Great photo of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter over a castle in Germany. Just wanted to share it.

Dr. Seuss Editorial Cartoons

Thanks to : The Officers'Club

I thought it interesting to see the editorial cartoons produced by the famous Dr. Seuss between 1941 and 1943. Whether his illustrations were made for an adult audience or for children, his style is unmistakable.

These cartoons seem very relevant today in reference to the current enemy of the United States and Western Civilization.

Great Conservative Slogans

These are excellent!

My favorite examples:

"Bush spied, terrorists died."

"Democrats -- a 40 year war on poverty and still no exit strategy."


Richard Disney served as a captain in the U.S. Army and is now running for Nevada Assembly District 26.

A Soldier's Mantra

Hat Tip to The Officer's Club

When life sucks, I’m often reminded of this little saying:

When I’m tired, at least I’m not hungry
When I’m tired and hungry, at least I’m not cold
When I’m tired, hungry and cold, at least I’m not wet.
When I’m tired, hungry, cold, and wet, well… at least I’m not being shot at.And when I’m tired, hungry, cold, wet, and being shot at… well, it can only get better from there!

We Are Winning

Don't believe the main stream media out there. We are winning the Battle of Iraq. Now villagers are setting up checkpoints to keep terrorists out of their towns and tipping off American and Iraqi security forces at a higher and higher rate.

Representatives Who Represent

This was posted on BattleBornNews.com Saturday 4 February 2006 and was expanded upon during a public discussion on Bill Manders' show on AM 780 KKOH Radio, Wednesday February 9, 2006.

As noted in yesterday’s Nevada News & Views, Republican Ty Cobb threw his hat into the Reno-area Assembly District 26 ring yesterday. He joins Republicans Richard Disney and Mike Dillon in a three-way race for the GOP nomination to replace conservative Assemblywoman Sharron Angle in this very GOP-friendly district.

Interestingly, Cobb told Reno Gazette-Journal political reporter Anjeanette Damon yesterday that he did NOT support two ballot initiatives currently enjoying tremendous GOP and conservative support: Nevada’s versions of Prop 13 (sponsored by Angle) and TABOR (sponsored by Sen. Bob Beers). “We won’t need initiatives like that if we elected people like myself,” he told Damon.

Now where have I heard THAT before?

Sorry State of Anti-War Protest

Hat tip Brain-Terminal.com

The sorry state of anti-war protests. Great video here illustrating how sorry and dull the anti-war movement has become.

Kudos to Andrew Marcus who took the video with a still camera that also takes video. Surprisingly good quality.
