Cap and Trade: Stand Up Today; Take Back Your Government – Make A Call

Call and tell your representative they work for YOU, tell them YOU want them to vote NO and YOU will actively organize to ensure they do not get re-elected if they do not represent YOUR wishes. This is YOUR country, take it back, take back YOUR government.

Freedom of Speech: Now Playing in Tehran, but Not Toledo

I’ve been following the Iranian protests these last days – like a lot of people.  I’ve been on Twitter (too much) retweeting credible information in a small effort to help.
But it’s made me wonder: what are these courageous people really doing?  Standing up and demanding to have their voices heard.  Standing up and demanding that [...]

Words have meanings – Socialist does not mean black, but doofus still means doofus

 
As further evidence that the left wants to control your life and shape the direction of humanity – whether you agree or disagree; whether it goes against your values or not; whether it goes against the Constitution or not – it is now apparently inappropriate to call a thing what it is.  Wrap it instead [...]

Doomsday scenario – a peek inside your future

 
The Wall Street Journal has a pretty somber story here focusing on what happens if the current batch of liberal Democrats in the Congress can set the agenda, unchallenged, within an Obama presidency.  It’s worth reading in full – highlights below:
If the current polls hold, Barack Obama will win the White House on November 4 [...]

Michelle Obama slams down the race card…

Interesting (and scary) if true.  Read the entire story.
From the African Press International (API) website;
Shocking development:  Mrs Obama decides enough is enough: “My husband was born in Hawaii and adopted by his stepfather, does that make him unpatriot; she asks”, on a direct telephone to API.
Note:  Byron York, from NRO’s The Corner reports:

That Michelle Obama [...]

Don’t be so selfish…it’s good for everybody – Obama-isms

How much clearer does Obama need to be on his socialist agenda?  He keeps putting it right out there, media does their best to ignore it/edit it and if ever it’s brought up as a legitimate concern, Obama says 1) he didn’t say it or 2) it was misinterpreted.
Here’s the latest evidence that we are [...]

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. – Barack Obama
I am the great and powerful Wizard of Oz.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain

FDR’s WPA, Part 2

It appears the Democrats are already planning their New Deal.  This screams of FDR’s WPA, which, while it gave us some classic architecture, was really a step toward socialism.
It just looks like more spending that we can’t afford to me and disincentives for business.
See the source article here.

Tax rebate, food stamp money possible in aid [...]

100 Economists Scrutinize Obama Economic Plan

The McCain-Palin campaign issued a statement today regarding the opinion of 100 economists on the Obama economic plan.
How anyone can believe that raising taxes and increasing discretionary spending will do anything to strengthen the American economy is, in my opinion, is either an idiot or someone intent on driving the United States of America, as [...]

Now for something completely different, socializing your 401K

Rush Limbaugh was talking about this today, so I had to check it out.
From Investment News, here.

By Sara Hansard

A wide range of sweeping changes to the 401(k) system were proposed Tuesday at a hearing on how the market crisis has devastated retirement savings plans.
Chief among them [...]

Yeah, that bailout was a great idea.

From the “do I have a kick me sign on my butt” file…..
It’s been a long time since I could afford a nice vacation, and with things going the way they are, it looks to be a while before I will be going again.
But I sure feel great knowing that those stressed out AIG execs [...]

The bailout bill – more of your money to the greedy feds

I’ve been watching and listening everybody talk about this bailout of AIG, et. al.
I have a feeling that if there is no bailout, it will be bad.
I have a feeling that if there is a bailout, it will be bad.
But the fact that the bill almost immediately started down the pork barrel road, and, according [...]

Who’s calling who ‘white trash’?

The tone of presidential campaigns have been getting more and more vile over the years.  It’s unfortunate that the American people cannot get honest debate and actual answers to their questions so that they may make an informed decision.  Instead, we get nasty rhetoric, candidate that ‘pivot’ depending on their audience and special interest groups [...]

I, American – Part 1

I’ve have taken quite a bit of time away from this blog because, frankly, it wasn’t a whole lot of fun.   Here are some reasons why:

The topics I was covering were run-of-the-mill, but they still got folks riled up enough to send some pretty nasty emails.
Last February, we were getting into the heavy political season [...]

Can’t have kids? Your marriage is voided.

Heard this about an initiative (Initiative 957) being pursued by the Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance organization?

Initiative 957
If passed by Washington voters, the Defense of Marriage Initiative would:

add the phrase, “who are capable of having children with one another” to the legal [...]
