Eric Holder Will Decide if You Belong to a Hate Group
That is, if HR2647 passes. This bill originally passed the House without the Hate Crimes legislation included, but it was added as an amendment in the Senate. The text of the legislation gives the Attorney General, currently Eric H. Holder, Jr., the right to determine if a group is “associated with hate-related violence against groups or persons or the United States Government”. From the legislative | Read More »
My Job: Vote For Stuff I Cannot Understand
I don’t really understand those credit card disclosure thingies either. Senator Tom Carper (D, DE) schools us on why we don’t need to read the actual legislative language of the health care bill being proposed in the Senate. A few of my favorite quotes: Reading the legislative language is among the more confusing things I’ve ever read in my life. Quite understated there, I think. | Read More »

School Board Elections
Yeah, they’re important. No, I don’t expect most people at RedState will care much about who’s running for School Board in the Poudre School District in the larger Fort Collins area. It is, however, important to me because I have three kids in school here and a newborn grandson that will probably be going here in a few years. We are blessed to have a | Read More »

Student Response to Obama’s Education Speech
My daughter decided to skip President Obama’s address to students in school today, as expected. She got up to leave just before the speech was to start, and her classmates asked her where she was going.

Visa Waiver Program Tariff
Somehow, I don’t think this is what people had in mind when Obama said he would be creating jobs. According to an article by the Associated Press reported at Yahoo News, the European Union is up in arms about a new proposed fee for tourists to the United States from people in countries who are not required to obtain a visa to enter the country*. | Read More »
AARP Admits Government Programs Don’t Eliminate Poverty for Elderly
The AARP has worked hard recently to deny it’s non-endorsement endorsement of the Health Care Bill HR3200. Behind the scenes they have been working hard to convince their members that this bill is in their best interest, regardless of questions by members and a declining membership. In an obvious attempt to try to reverse the trend, they have finally made mention of the Republican health | Read More »
