There is a problem with the abortion “Debate.” Half the people arguing believe it is only a simple question of “When does life begin?” Well, this is what it really should be. After all, if life has not begun, then the abortion is a simple medical procedure entirely up to the person getting it and her healthcare provider. If life Has begun, then the abortion | Read More »
It’s not kosher. . . . . . . . . . . . . Yeah, I know. And I also know I’m not the only person to think it. Hell, I’m not even the First person to think it. But it had to be said.
I figured it would be a good idea to collect a list of the numbers from each of the Tea Parties, nationwide. Or, at least as many as we can get. Update: Totals also displayed here: 366,535 people counted at 194 Tax Day Tea Parties, thus far. Update: If you know where to get collections of entire States (not national numbers, States), like Jonah Shumate | Read More »
Earlier, Crippy wrote about Texas reaffirming its rights under the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. A few moments after reading this, I learned that Texas is not alone. Delegate Christopher Peace (R-97) of the Virginia State House has sponsored a bill that will put Virginia beside Texas in telling the Feds to kiss off. H.R. 61 reads virtually identically to Texas’s HCR 50. And | Read More »
Yeah, we have all heard it. The horror story where a friend or family member had a serious medical issue and was turned down for care, not by the doctor, but by his insurance, or, worse, Medicare or Medicaid. Or they received treatment but found out afterward that it wasn’t covered. A quick Google search gives us Thousands of links for “healthcare horror stories.” One | Read More »
There has yet again been talk about what Gov Palin did with the oil companies being a so-called “Windfall Profits Tax.” It’s not. However, while the explanations given thus far for why not are accurate, they may not be clear to someone who doesn’t know what, exactly, is going on. Let me try to explain. Let’s assume that you own a piece of land. On | Read More »
I’ve been thinking about the polls that have Obama winning by anything between 1 and 13% tomorrow. Frankly, as many of you know, I don’t believe them. So I started to look at a few things. Namely, I looked at the %s in the polls by which Obama leads and I looked at the historic turnout rates for them. I then turned to the groups | Read More »
McCain-Palin by 5-10 points. Anyone else? Bah. So much for that. Back to listening to people who know better…
I’m confused. There are a few things I don’t get about this election and I hope that someone can explain them to me. 1) John McCain has a former lobbyist working on his campaign. This we know. We also know that this gentleman has done some work for Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac. Obama likes to point this out when confronted with certain persons who | Read More »
I know this isn’t a particularly popular topic right now, what with the election drawing to a close, but it is still pertinent… We have all heard the infamous statement, “I support the troops but not the war.” At some point, many, if not most of us have responded with, “You can’t support the troops if you don’t support their mission.” And someone you are | Read More »
Just got linked to this by my friends over at www.LordsoftheBattlefield.com Figured ya’ll would appreciate it as much as I did and I hope it spreads…
I just want to take this first line by saying that I do not think I am smarter than all the financial geniuses out there and that I am not asking for any credit should my question make real difference. I just have this tendency to ask questions from out of left field that, on the face of them, make no sense. Well, think about | Read More »
A couple of weeks ago, I had to make an emergency trip to Tennessee. My wife’s sister, Lien, was in the ICU due to a life-threatening fever and they didn’t know what was causing it. I went for several reasons. First, and foremost, she’s family. She’s my little sister. But my in-laws called me specifically because Linh was (and still is) in Cali for the | Read More »
I haven’t heard of this anywhere except last night from a radio show caller who apparently has more time on his hands than I do and just cruises the internet for this sort of thing. It’s one of those really late night shows that you have to question how crazy the host is just as much as you do the callers. Kind of like Coast | Read More »
I just watched the re-airing of Hannity and Colmes, and once again, Sean Hannity fumbled the whole Ayers issue. Not Hannity, nor Limbaugh, nor Savage, nor Beck, nor any other Conservative “talker” I have heard or read has been able to explain clearly why Ayers is a problem for Obama. None of them. They all know he’s a problem. They all know it’s because he’s | Read More »
This diary is actually a request for advice. I have a question that seems pretty important to me and the answer(s) given should be helpful for anyone else intending to run for office for the first time. You see, I like to complain. It’s fun. You don’t have to come up with any solutions or work to fix anything. Unfortunately, in my eyes, complaining walks | Read More »
