John Tyner, of the “you touch my junk and I’ll have you arrested” fame, found out that once you fall into the government web, you don’t have the opportunity to opt out.  After making his statement, now heard round the world, he was met with more TSA agents, and a police officer, faster than they have ever been on picking up illegals at a construction | Read More »

I just watched Wallace’s Sunday morning show. He announced at the very beginning that O’Donnell was supposed to be a guest, but, her campaign canceled on Friday night saying she was exhausted, and was returning home to DE. He said she called him the next morning, and told him she already had prior commitments in her own state that she chose to attend. He announced | Read More »

It is rare that any union speaks out against the “politicking” or “policies” or “agenda”, of Barack Obama, and/or, any of his appointees.  The National Council 118 – Immigration and Customs Enforcement did do just that, with a vote of 259-0, in a Vote of No Confidence, and they were not shy, or even politically correct, with their criticisms. In a letter, dated June 25, | Read More »

Erick Erickson posted a diary back on June 30, “Eric Cantor and John Boehner Don’t really want to Repeal Obamacare.“  Erick had claimed in that diary that “Our leadership is behaving badly.”  They were clearly playing politics with the Discharge Petition, prepared by Republican Steve King,  that was circulating in the House, in order to bring a Repeal of Obamacare to the floor for a | Read More »

I am posting this as a diary, because I don’t want my concern to fall by the wayside in a comment. I use Mozilla Firefox.  I just connected to the internet via my provider, and, got a message that I needed to update my “advertising” opt out, which I did through Firefox.  For the first time, I got a message that I needed to opt | Read More »

Sometime this week, Rush Limbaugh made a comment, and I am parapharsing, “in order to beat back the Obama march to socialize the United States, it is going to take  involvement, at the state level.”  I couldn’t agree more. There are 20 states that have joined together with a lawsuit against Obamacare.   Virginia has filed  a lawsuit separately.  In addition, there have been numerous | Read More »

During the 2008 Presidential Campaign, Michelle Obama said “This is the first time, in my adult life, that I am proud of my country.”  Obviously, Mrs. Obama never believed that American has been truly exceptional, and that America has been the most free country in the world.  She didn’t believe Ronald Reagan when he said that America is the “Shining City on the Hill.” That | Read More »

I am interested in what Governor Palin accomplished/did not accomplish while serving as Governor of Alaska.  I want to decide if she was a tax cutter, or if she cleaned up a culture of corruption within the state Legislature, no matter what party the corruption was taking place in, and, I want to know if she made decisions in a manner that is consistent with | Read More »

As read by little Delaney Ferguson on our local radio show this morning, December 23, 2009.  You can hear her reading it here. ‘Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone, in a one-bedroom house made of plaster and stone. I had come down the chimney with presents to give, and to see just who is this home did live. I looked all about, | Read More »

We’ve had federal funding for healthcare for the poor prior to 1996, however, I will start with legislation that was passed in 1996 entitled “Health Centers Consolidation Act of 1996.”   In 1996, President Clinton was in his second term, and, the Republicans took the majority in the House and the Senate.  Many of the Democrat and Republican Senators today were a part of the 104th | Read More »

Not one more drop of ink needs to be wasted on the NY 23rd District Republican candidate, Dede Scozzafava, the RNC and NRCC choosen one, and the horrendous chaos they created in backing a Liberal Republican.  Any rational being, or organization, normally learns the “rule of holes” when they have gotten their teeth knocked out.  Alas, they seem to have just gone out and bought shovels with longer handles. According | Read More »

On July 9, 2009, Ronald Kessler (Washington Insider) published an artile entitled “CPAC Chairman: Palin Not Ready for Presidential Run.” http://newsmax.com/kessler/sarah_palin_cpac/2009/07/09/233604.html When I read the artile, my first thought was, Here is Keene, President of the ACU, which hosts the CPAC convention each year, calling Palin a “whinner”, and then he goes on to whine alot more than Palin when he said: “She confirmed that | Read More »
