With the recent repeal of the U.S. military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, the culture wars appear to be entering a new phase. In this country, the gay marriage issue has become passé. The discussion has moved on to other fronts, such as 46-year-old Columbia University Professor David Epstein’s alleged sexual relationship with his 24-year-old daughter. Both were consenting adults, so what’s the problem? In | Read More »
Of all the potential 2012 Republican Presidential candidates, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin provides the starkest contrast to President Obama. With the debut of the TLC series ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’, America is getting an in-depth look at the former First Family of Alaska. This includes the newest additions, son Trig Palin and grandson Tripp Johnston—and therein lies the rub. Trig Palin has Down syndrome, and | Read More »
If you are going to call yourself a journalist and you get an interview with the President of the United States, why not ask the tough questions. That’s what Fox News anchor Bret Baier did Wednesday evening when he sat down for his first “exclusive” interview with President Barrack Obama to discuss the current health care reform bill. Baier came prepared to ask the tough | Read More »
On October 28th President Obama flew to Delaware’s Dover Air Force Base to honor the return of 18 servicemen killed in Afghanistan. Again on November 10th the President flew to Fort Hood, Texas to honor the soldiers and civilians killed in the first terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11. What was missing at both of these events was any emotional connection by the President | Read More »
When it comes to the healthcare industry, the banking industry, the insurance industry, the oil industry and other sectors of the economy, President Obama and his Ivy League cohorts seem to have declared war on profits and the profit motive. According to President Obama, profits are evil. Profits don’t create jobs or grow the economy; they only serve to enrich the wealthy investor class. Only | Read More »
The winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize by unanimous vote is President Barrack Obama. Other winners of this year’s award include Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Syria, nuclear proliferation, the Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Neville Chamberlain wing of the Democratic Party. The losers and those given no consideration by the committee include Israel, American service men and women fighting in Iraq and | Read More »
According to activist filmmaker James O’Keefe’s recently released video tapes, taxpayer supported ACORN offices in Baltimore, MD and Washington D.C. were more than willing to accommodate a pimp and his prostitute in their plans for business expansion. Their plans included the purchase of housing and the importation of under aged illegal immigrant girls from El Salvador, all for the expressed purpose of establishing a criminal | Read More »
Since the beginning of July, the top news headlines have been all Michael Jackson. In second place is Governor Sarah Palin. On July 3rd, Governor Palin announced she will be stepping down as Governor of Alaska effective the end of July. Speculation has been rampant, with most news media outlets and political pundits jumping on the band wagon to quickly criticize her decision and spin | Read More »
Since becoming President, Barrack Obama has angered a lot of Americans. I’m angry that terrorists in Afghanistan now have the right to remain silent and the right to a court appointed attorney. I’m also angry that the Obama administration is spending trillions of dollars we don’t have. This summer I’ve noticed a large and growing number of Americans are angry about something. For Americans looking | Read More »
For all you people who criticized George W. Bush for invading Iraq because of concerns about WMD’s, what would you now advise the Israeli government do about Iran? As with Iraq in 2003, the world can only speculate as to whether Iran has a nuclear weapons program. My guess is they do. What makes Israel more vulnerable then the United States to a nuclear strike | Read More »
As a junior in high school in 1970 I bought my first car, a 64’ Pontiac GTO. It will always be my favorite. Since then I’ve owned many General Motors vehicles, including a 1975 Chevy Camaro, a 1985 Chevy 1/2 ton Scottsdale, a 1990 GMC 4-wheel drive Sierra, a 2003 GMC 4-wheel drive Canyon, and most recently a 2008 GMC 4-wheel drive crew cab Sierra. | Read More »
Former Vice President Dick Cheney is smart, articulate, and knows his stuff. I still remember the two Vice Presidential debates in which he participated. With his straight forward, quick witted, no-nonsense debating style he easily won these debates with opponents Joe Lieberman and John Edwards. The fact that the Main Stream Media scored it different is proof of their bias, and their fears. And | Read More »
The ‘leftie’ blogs and the ‘Main Stream Media’ are currently saturated, indeed wringing wet, with articles and commentaries pointing out the recent turn of events (Arlen Spector, Colin Powell, etc…) as proof the Republican Party is in disarray and on the decline. As for me, I respectfully disagree. I say to those RINO’s contemplating similar moves, “So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, goodbye!”, and, “don’t let | Read More »
Update – Look Who Else is Snooping on My Website. More Government Snoops!!! On April 26th I posted an article on Redstate.com about the Department of Homeland Security crawling all over my web site after I attended a local Council Bluffs, IA Tea Party. Since then I’ve had more snoops. I just thought I’d update you all on the latest—just incase I should unexpectedly | Read More »
The Department of Homeland Security has a corporate IP address of 216.81.80.134 and is located in Springfield, Virginia—area code 703. The coordinates of this location are latitude 38.7438, longitude -77.2333. How do I know this? Well, let me give you a little background information and then we’ll connect the dots. I have a web site I use to sell a product that I invented | Read More »
This is in response to the April 20th rebuttal to my April 15th letter to the Omaha World-Herald’s Public Pulse railing against gay marriage in Iowa. Dear Sir: I don’t care what two or more people do behind closed doors. It does not concern me. What I am tired of, though, is gay activists continually shoving the gay agenda down my throat. | Read More »
What is it about Iowa Democrats that they tend toward ultra-liberalism? I recently ran into an old high school classmate of mine, a staunch Democrat whose uncle was a very prominent Democratic state senator. The talk quickly turned to politics and the current State Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage. I told her I thought homosexuality was deviant, perverted sexual behavior. I also said | Read More »
The first one-hundred days of the Obama Presidency is proving to be a very raucous, anxiety driven affair. As we struggle with events in the market and on the world stage, I’m reminded of another anxious time in our nation’s history and another charismatic first term President—Ronald Reagan. Governor Reagan rose to national prominence in 1976, after challenging then President Gerald Ford for the | Read More »
Stimulus money already appears to be working its way down to the local level in Iowa. How do I know this? A friend of mine, a soil conservationist with the USDA, had four days to come up with a plan to spend 1.6 million dollars, and spend it fast. His plan—trimming trees. Yes, the stimulus we are all counting on to lift our economy out | Read More »
As spiritual beings, we all have the ability to peer into the future. We get that sense of future events not by contemplating the secular outcome of current world events, but by envisioning the outcome of world events as they are revealed to us in our spiritual quest. As spiritual beings, God has allowed us entry into the higher plane of “spiritual” reality, a place | Read More »
In regards to George’s interview with Michael Steele on Sunday’s “This Week with George Stenphanopoulos”, I can’t believe George does not know the difference between make-work jobs and REAL jobs. He seems to think a job is a job—as long as it pays. “HEY! George, your liberal credentials are showing.” Now I’m not as smart as George, but I do know the difference. “So George, | Read More »
HILLARY!!! But you new that already, didn’t you? The way things are going now, 2012 could be another historic presidential election year—the year of the all women presidential contenders. Jeff Jorgensen jorgie714@frontiernet.net
What was vaguely referenced during the presidential campaign, took only two weeks to fully emerge. America is witnessing the total Carter-esk transformation of Barrack Obama. One need only glance over the recent headlines to realize the extent of Obama’s, arrogance, hypocrisy and inexperience. Obama’s missteps are glaring, and they are dangerous. With Obama at the helm, America appears to be heading for the cliff. | Read More »
When your ideological opponent is Obama and the liberal body politic, it isn’t hard to predict the next move on the Chess board. With passage of the House Stimulus Bill, the Senate will be next to vote on the measure. And vote they will, leaving the house bill largely in tact, and the Obama/Pelosi/Reid Stimulus Bill becoming law. Soon after, more spending bills will be | Read More »
If BIG government wants to become BIG oil, BIG banking, BIG mortgage, BIG insurance, BIG healthcare, and the BIG three, let’s require them to make BIG PROFITS. A “profitable” BIG government is more efficient. A “profitable” BIG government doesn’t need to borrow capital—i.e. tax revenue. A “profitable” BIG government increases shareholder equity; and aren’t we the shareholders of BIG government? Stimulus—Schmimulus!!! Let’s eliminate | Read More »
