PACKING THE SUPREME COURT
By: longtimeconservative (Diary) | January 19th at 03:32 PM |
Barack Obama is not the first or only President to issue Executive Orders, yet, many believe doing so is dictatorial. However, legal challenges will surely follow if it is believed Constitutional checks and balances are being deliberately ignored to bypass a Republican Congress and the people’s representatives. A myriad of social, religious and issue-oriented groups will find some policies and regulations unacceptable and seek adjudication | Read More »
HAS AMERICA LOST IT’S WAY?
By: longtimeconservative (Diary) | December 10th at 06:38 PM |
The Obama Administration’s changes and influences are making America virtually unrecognizable. No longer do many Americans exhibit national pride, patriotism, family loyalty, traditional values or religious faith. In fact, those who proudly cling to religious upbringing and biblical teachings seem under attack by Godless advocates seeking to stifle religious liberty. Opportunity, ambition and work ethics have been replaced by government dependency and a “what’s in | Read More »
WALMART STRIKE A BUST
By: longtimeconservative (Diary) | November 25th at 07:25 PM |
The nation-wide attempt to adversely impact Walmart’s business and intimidate their customers failed. Walmart’s employees are neither forced to work for the company or pay union dues. Whether their salaries and benefits are less than higher class retail establishments is questionable. The company has a different business model and caters primarily to both under-privileged and a middle class clientele. Their prices on merchandise reflect this | Read More »
DO U.S. POLICIES ENCOURAGE HAMAS ATTACKS?
By: longtimeconservative (Diary) | November 16th at 05:01 PM |
Many questions prevail concerning the military aggression against Israel. Why did Hamas wait until after the U.S. election to launch rockets at Israel? Were they concerned a Romney Presidency would not stand idly by? Why has Barack Obama withheld public condemnation of attacks emanating from Palestinian territory against innocent Jewish civilian villages? Many believe Obama’s foreign policy is responsible for encouraging this aggression. Could | Read More »
A SAD POST-ELECTION ASSESSMENT
By: longtimeconservative (Diary) | November 10th at 06:46 PM |
Unfortunately, my pre-election premonition was correct. Re-elected was an individual no one really knows, understands or even if he is eligible to be our President. Many fear that by 2016 our Country will cease to resemble that willed to us by our founding fathers. Also, forgotten, is Pres. Kennedy’s appeal that “Americans ask not what their country can do for them but rather, what they | Read More »
CHANGING PRESIDENTS IMPERATIVE
By: longtimeconservative (Diary) | October 19th at 08:07 AM |
Was the Al Qaeda terrorist attack and murder of four Americans in Libya simply a “bump in the road”? Are numerous vacations, golf outings and fund-raising trips raising cash from millionaire and billionaire supporters more important than participating in daily National Security briefings? Is answering softball questions on “The View” or night television more critical than meeting Prime Minister Netanyahu concerning Iran’s threat to | Read More »
ISRAEL, A CASUALTY OF OBAMA’S FOREIGN POLICY
By: longtimeconservative (Diary) | September 17th at 11:46 AM |
Israel must realize why an American President of Muslim birth and upbringing may place long-standing traditional support of the Jewish State in doubt. Surely, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, recognizes this after numerous snubs and insults. No longer can friendship and a strong military alliance be taken for granted in Israel’s battle for survival. Policies by President Obama and his Party indicate this government’s sympathy rests | Read More »
We’re worse off than 4 years ago
By: longtimeconservative (Diary) | September 11th at 08:14 AM |
The question isn’t whether we are better off but, should Americans ignore broken promises and ineffective leadership? With 23 million unemployed and 43 months of 8% unemployment, Obama has failed. A misdirected energy policy, gasoline prices double, gas and electric rates higher, record home foreclosures and thousands in appreciated home value lost during his Presidency, is deplorable. Food prices are up 15% and America’s middle | Read More »
Killing Babies and Same Sex Marriage, DNC Major Concern
By: longtimeconservative (Diary) | August 31st at 06:38 AM |
How morbid that killing babies and same sex relationships will be the principle advocacies of the Democratic National Convention. Preferring death over life and opposing the traditional Judeo-Christian definition of marriage are more important than millions of men and women suffering because they can’t find jobs to support their families. Democrats believe these issues more critical than thousands of families who lost homes to foreclosure | Read More »
RYAN’S PLAN BEST FOR SENIORS
By: longtimeconservative (Diary) | August 14th at 01:18 PM |
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis) is absolutely correct. If Medicare and Medicaid are not revamped for those presently age 55 and under, both plans face future bankruptcy. His proposal recommends no mandatory changes for those 55 or older and keeps their safety net intact in spite of a concerted Democrat campaign of distortion, misinformation and smear. The Ryan Plan is in stark contrast to onerous rules | Read More »
