The Liberal Lantern is not Green.

2011-06-20T21:22:00.002-06:00

Green Lantern. The idea that the FREE WILL of one man can overcome the collective fear of multiple universes is intriguing enough to spend ten bucks. This is indeed one fighting force donning the color scheme green that is not tied to anything marketed to save the planet by pampering nature with liberal cloying love. Good for a rainy day, and even a sunny day. The Green Lantern is a must

Is no one allowed to think for themselves? As asinine as it is to pay a penalty for owning property, property tax (which they say is to support your local school, whether you have kids in the system or not) is collected throughout the state. We are all led to believe that our own tax dollars really do help people here at home, it makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing that our government

WY has at least 1,000 Grizzlies in Yellowstone, if you want an accurate count it'll cost you $12.9 Million

2011-05-30T09:22:00.001-06:00

WHY would Wyoming want a 'grizzly re-count' when counting them won't help remove them from the endangered species list ? Well, a count is necessary if there is any hope for delisting the grizzly, but it is not likely that a count would help delisting the grizzly (see Emmerich quotes below). Yellowstone, which is 3,472 sq. miles (8,987 sq. km or 2,221,766 acres), currently holds - let's say

Stop Recycling ! Your trash could help a federal tax incentive become a reality!

And yes, although you might recycle less and consume more because you want desperately to be personally involved with saving the planet, you can keep your conscience clean; the trash you make can be used to make power.

Who Was Our Most Naive President: Hoover or Carter? by Burt Folsom Herbert Hoover and Jimmy Carter both had calamitous presidencies–possibly the worst in U.S. history. Hoover signed the highest tariff in U.S. history, began the first farm subsidy program in U.S. history, and jacked up the top rate on the income tax from 24% to 63%. The result: 25% unemployment and a Great Depression. Jimmy

Get Government Out of Education

2010-12-12T14:19:00.000-07:00

Close the Education Department! December 10, 2010 - John Stossel This week’s release of the latest international education test comparisons makes me wonder why there aren’t more calls to kill off the U.S. Department of Education. Eight years ago, Bush signed the “No Child Left Behind Act,” which costs the government $25 billion a year. He promised that this would fix the K-12 education problem

Where's The Line To See Jesus?

Reminding us all of the true intention of this holiday known as Christmas ... it's not all about Santa Claus While at the mall a couple of years ago, my then four year old nephew, Spencer, saw kids lined up to see Santa Claus. Having been taught as a toddler that Christmas is the holiday that Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, he asked his mom, "where's the line to see Jesus"? ... Read

Princess Pelosi showcasing "the beauty of the Equality State"

2010-12-09T05:58:00.000-07:00

Wyoming and all that she stands for is surely being mocked here - Pelosi and energy efficient lights do not symbolize Wyoming in the slightest. One could make a little money on the wager that there are more nativity scenes in Wyoming than there are in D.C. But the funny thing is that as politically correct and as spineless as politicians are during Christmas, here it seems that Christmas is

The T.S. of A takes control by George F. Will "Fifty years ago, William F. Buckley wrote a memorable complaint about the fact that Americans do not complain enough. His point, like most of the points he made during his well-lived life, is, unfortunately, more pertinent than ever.

SECRETARIAT - a true story of endurance in faith

2010-11-25T13:15:00.005-07:00

Being a movie about a horse was enough to have a little skepticism cloud any real interest. Wyoming might be full of horses and ranches and farms and large plots of land with photogenic fences on the perimeter, so a story about horse racing seems quite distant from a local reality. But as many books which are judged by their cover also reveal a story that would positively influence the soul, so

So why then has Wyoming's 2010 Governor elect suggested and then firmly defended the idea of adding on a tax? You would think that Wyoming State Government has just exhausted every option and simply
