I was asked by a friend on Facebook to post my views on two topics. The current republican presidential primary, and the problems with the legislative branch of the federal government. While these items should be treated as two separate topics I will, for the sake of the request try to cover both here. The Republican Presidential Primary I am currently, on the eve of | Read More »
I am firmly in the camp of ‘Anybody but Mitt’. However, my preferred candidate is not in the race so I am left squarely undecided. I am researching and listening to everyone in the field, yes everyone. I haven’t made up my mind yet, and won’t until the primary gets to Georgia. My concern is that we are all so apoplectic about NOT choosing Mitt | Read More »
I’m probably behind the curve on this one but I figured I’d post it up anyway. The Red Cross is partnering with Pitney Bowes to send Christmas cards to US troops. I posted this first on my website (found here) and now cross posting here. The Red Cross link can be found here, and the full mailing address is below. This is NOT the Walter | Read More »
Drudge is running a link to an add touting a speech Sarah Palin is giving on September 3rd in Iowa (which can be heard here). That add mentions a 5013c website (found here) claiming the title of Tea Party of America. That website appears to have just gone up and feels like a candidate website just before an announcement. If it is, I’m all in, | Read More »
and the they’re making a mistake allowing the media to portray it that way. The idea the Republicans are the ones ‘assaulting’ anything here is laughable. The idea the Republicans are the cause of the problem here is ludicrous. The idea the Republicans are ‘getting in the way’ of the solution is dishonest on the face of it. The Democrats are the ones who’ve built | Read More »
I started this diary with anger in my heart because only 50 Republicans voted against the continuing resolution passed yesterday. I hate even typing that. However, I am not speaking to those who forgot how forcefully Americans shouted last November. I am speaking to the 50. Great job. Well done. Stand firm. THANK YOU. Please, you brave happy few, you band of brothers, have an | Read More »
I have a friend who blogs the scripture behind a Bible study he wrote on pride. Today’s entry, while short and found here makes those who are governed just as accountable for the failures of their leaders as the leaders are for their own failures. Given the current Republican leadership decisions that are appearing to once again head down the path of failure, I thought | Read More »
I refuse any longer to listen to, contribute to, or promote any person or cause that does not stick to the principals they espouse in public. Period. Campaign conservative govern moderate, your out. Tell me the reason you ‘reached across the isle’ is too complicated for my simple hoi polloi brain to handle, your gone. Make closed door, smoke-filled room, or under the table deals | Read More »
Back in 2010 when the vote for TARP was coming up I was dialing senators on a regular basis imploring them not to vote for that bad idea or they would lose my vote. Chambliss ignored me and others then (one of many references found here). Many I pleaded with to not support him then ignored me because they insisted his conservative credentials were/are impeccable. | Read More »
It is becoming more and more apparent to me that the Main Stream Media has either selected the candidate they believe the Republicans should choose or have at least narrowed the field to their short list. I’m not going to name names or disparage anyone here because, frankly that’s the MSM’s job. What I will say here is that I would like to remind everyone | Read More »
A friend I used to work with posted this on her Facebook page and I thought you guys would like it. Merry Christmas… North Point Church Iband (music played exclusively on iphones and ipads)
For your review I offer the following link to an article that would cause panic among the left if it had originated from the Bush White House. As it is, it is going to die a quiet death as our freedoms are further assaulted and eroded.
Here’s one that should drive the Left crazy. The Tulsa World News reported yesterday Senator Jim Inhofe (R) Oklahoma isn’t going to ride in the local parade of lights because they changed the title from a Christmas parade to a holiday parade. Here’s the forum link I found, and by way of full disclosure was directed to by a close friend who runs that forum. | Read More »
I just wanted to post this to remind us why we give thanks and that once our congressman knew from whence all power flows. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. The page I copied this from can be found here. Continental Congress Thanksgiving Proclamation (1782) IT being the indispensable duty of all Nations, not only to offer up their supplications to ALMIGHTY GOD, the giver of all good, | Read More »
You have 24 months to demonstrate ‘you get it’ but I bet we will know if you do much, much sooner. In case you are not sure what ‘it’ is, let me bullet point it from my perspective… Do NOT reach across the isle or they will blame you and so will I Do NOT compromise on conservative principles (read Goldwater’s book if you are | Read More »
I haven’t posted in a while because, frankly, I’m tired of being told moderates are the way to go. Yes, I have watched as conservatives ascend and rise all around, but they are mostly in primary races currently. The Tea Party backed individuals are doing well and I have hope. However, my hopes have been dashed far to often when the political machine begins to | Read More »
Do not tell me how much money you’ve brought home to your district. That money belonged to someone else, which means you’ve confiscated/taken something that doesn’t belong to you. Instead, tell me how you’ve gotten government OUT of your home district and OUT of the the lives of your constituents. Conservatives will FLOCK to your banner like ants to a piece of bubblegum on the | Read More »
Do not, under any circumstances, lend your name to any of the upcoming liberal bills. Period. Please note there is no ambiguity there, no wiggle room, no ‘except [insertyourpetprojecthere]‘. Do NOT reach across the isle. Do NOT compromise. Do NOT spend any more of my tax dollars on things not specifically, SPECIFICALLY in your constitutional job description. The very idea some politicians feel they have | Read More »
But it is clear to me, at least for the homosexual community, that tolerance only extends so far as you are in agreement with them. Should you dare to oppose their view you are set upon just as the Reverend Rick Warren was set upon when Barack Obama chose him to give the opening prayer. I haven’t heard any tolerance from the homosexual community concerning | Read More »
The mainstream media is only relevant if people talk about what they discuss. They know if they put out inflammatory remarks we’ll pick it up, link to it, and talk about it. There may be little we can do about this given it is a wise military commander who knows his enemy. However, given PEBO’s (President Elect Barak Obama) successful use of the New Media | Read More »
