Merry Christmas To You »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Dec 25, 2011 in Current Affairs | View Comments

And so it is, another Christmas Day is upon us. This is such a special time, spending time with family, stressing out over gifts, or food preparation for family gathering, or the inability to afford either…It is a time of reflection, a time of sharing. It is a time of remembering what is important, of [...]

Hanukkah begins at Sundown on December 20th, and the Solstice is the night of the 21st. And light is an important component to both. And just in case you need a refresher about Hanukkah, this article is a good source of information: The eight-day Jewish celebration known as Hanukkah or Chanukah commemorates the rededication during [...]

And I do not mean just for Gitmo. I mean for AMERICANS. Yes, you read that right, Obama is going to sign into law INDEFINITE DETENTION for AMERICAN CITIZENS. Moreover, this applies not just to US Citizens abroad, but right here at home. Constitution, Schmonstitution, who needs that crappy old piece of paper? Apparently not [...]

The Numbers Just Don’t Add Up »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Dec 16, 2011 in Bamboozling, Corruption, Current Affairs, Economic Stimulus, Hoodwinking, Housing & Housing Crisis, Joe Biden, President Barack Obama, Real Estate | View Comments

Or rather, they continue to not add up. First it was the massive Stimulus money hole, Solyndra, courtesy of Obama paying off his big donors, a recurring theme with him; then it was the bogus Unemployment Numbers pushed by the President and the Democrats; can’t forget about the missing $1.2 Billion Obama’s and Biden’s good [...]

Lose Your Way Recently? Blame It On Lightsquared »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Dec 12, 2011 in Bamboozling, Corruption, Current Affairs, Obama Comrades, President Barack Obama | View Comments

I know, I should be used to this by now, but it is still striking to see the ways in which Obama helps his buddies, not to mention the lengths to which he goes to help them. It is shocking, especially since we end up paying for all of these bozos and their companies. But [...]

Thursday brought two major hearings to Capitol Hill. The first was Attorney General Eric Holder on the whole “Fast and Furious” issue. After many half responses, non-responses, and dissembling left and right, came this little interaction between Eric Holder and Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) in the video below:

“Workplace Violence”? That’s What They Are Calling It These Days? »

That would be the umbrella term the Department of Defense is using to describe Major Hasan gunning down a number of his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood. “Workplace violence.” Good grief. Thanks heavens some US Senators are speaking out about this incredibly sanitized, downright false characterization of Major Hasan’s intentions when he began to shoot [...]

Following The Money, All Washed And Clean »

That money would be Mexican drug cartel money all sparkly clean thanks to – wait for it – the DEA. Yes, the DEA, under Holder, has laundered millions – MILLIONS – of dollars for the Mexican drug cartels. How in the hell is Holder, and every single one of the administrators who went along with [...]

Or at least that was the impression this headline from The Hill wanted us to believe, “Signs Of Turning Tide On Economy Lift Democrats, Obama’s Hopes.” Oh, Happy Day! Woohoo! The tide has turned, the economy is recovering, people are going back to work, Obama has parted the waters and slowed their rising, oh Hallelujah… [...]

There are any number of intense stories out and about today, unusual for a weekend that so much is coming to light. Unfortunately, many of them are not good. For instance, there’s the story about the 85 year old grandmother who claims she was strip searched by the TSA. Now, many of you know that [...]

Yes, it is that time of year again, when Obama and Family head off to Hawaii for a bit of R&R. Obama’s SEVENTEEN day vacation is set to start on December 17th. His office said he had no public events planned. In other words, this is a total vacation from all of his hard work. [...]

Yes, now that Barney Frank has decided not to run for re-election, he has decided to actually do the work of the people. No, seriously – he is. But it took him saying he was leaving to do it, and this is a BIG issue. And that would be Obamacare. Specifically, the Independent Payment Advisory [...]

So we are back from our excursion to Grand Cayman for some snorkeling, good food, and a look at a possible vacation investment. There is a reason why I am mentioning this. I just have to share what one of the owners of the development said while we were chatting. She said she didn’t know [...]
