There Is Something SERIOUSLY Wrong With One State, And Something Very Right About Another One *Open Thread* »

I saw the following article at Facebook, posted by The New Agenda. I have to say, it just made me sick to my stomach, and furious, all at the same time. I think the headline really says it all: Victim Ordered to Pay Attacker Spousal Support. Yes, you read that right. The victim of many [...]

Obama: Words vs. Deeds »

President Barack “I’m a warrior for the middle class” Obama may talk the talk, but his lifestyle is rather atypical of how 99.9% of the middle class lives. There are the swelling numbers of unemployed now homeless, including military veterans. Now students are joining the ranks of the homeless. There is no government funding for [...]

What A Bunch Of Southernist BS About Boeing And SC »

As some of you know, here in South Carolina, we have been under siege by the NLRB, which is attacking Boeing for moving its DreamLiner series to North Charleston. Since we already had the DreamLifter here, it wasn’t exactly an “out of the clear blue sky” kind of move. That hasn’t had an impact on [...]

If You Can Read This… »

Chances are 50-50 you probably aren’t from Detroit. As it turns out, about half of the adult population in Detroit is functionally illiterate. Almost HALF. That is a staggering number. How in the sam hill can that possibly be? I am serious – how in the world, in the United States of America, can this [...]

Sounds Like Obama Meeting With Big Pharma Was Just The Beginning… »

Of the duplicity that is Obamacare. Some time ago, August 12, 2009, to be exact, Obama-phile Greg Palast wrote about Obama meeting with Big Pharma from the get-go. He was not amused that Obama would do this, though others of us are not surprised one bit that Obamacare was a giveaway to Big Pharma. But [...]

A Clinton/Obama Trip Down Memory Lane With WalMart »

* Bumped Up * You may recall during the 2008 Democratic Primary Campaign, Hillary Clinton was attacked by Barack Obama about her connections to Wal-Mart while First Lady of Arkansas. Oh, yes, he got just a tad testy as she was highlighting his constant “WORM”-ing (What Obama Really Meant). So he lashed out at her. [...]

Friday Is A Very Good Day »

Today, Friday, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was transported this morning to a rehab facility, TIRR Memorial Hermann Rehabilitation Hospital, in Houston. This follows her standing on her own, going outside (on the roof of the hospital) for some fresh air, stroking her husband’s face, and generally making remarkable, truly remarkable, progress. What a blessing. This is [...]

Rioters Hijack Middle Class March – ACORN? »

The riot organizers in London on Wednesday were NOT students. If you see the name ACORN International surface as the force behind this “community organized” hijacking, you should not be surprised. First. In Great Britain the phrase Middle Class is near equivalent to the phrase Upper Class in the U.S. A spokeswoman for the student [...]

The Conversation Continues…**Update** »

**update – “Amy’s surgery went well and she now has a brand new titanium right knee!  Thanks to all for your good thoughts and prayers today.”** Well, this will be my last post for a while. Again, I want to thank everyone for their warm support and encouragement of me as I prepare to have [...]

A Bit Of A Follow Up To Trumka And Palin *Open Thread* »

To my recent post about Palin and the new McCarthyism. Michelle Malkin had this post about how President Obama will be spending his Labor day, “Obama spending Labor Day with real thugs.” Wanna guess who? That’s right, Richard Trumka. And why would Malkin say such a thing in her post? This is why: [snip] Trumka [...]

“Palinism” Is The New McCarthism? »

Could be, according to the AFL-CIO president, Richard Trumka, if she doesn’t watch her words. Okay – I have to stop right there. Can I just tell you how much I resent it when men tell women how they should talk? That would be a big pet peeve of mine. So, from the get-go, I [...]

Oh, Who Really Needs Food Stamps In This Economy? »

UPDATE to post originally published here on July 18. 2010: When I wrote this a few weeks ago, I thought, surely, there is no way the Democrats will go through with this. How wrong I was. Not only did Speaker Pelosi go through with it, but she demanded everyone return from their summer break, when [...]

Obama’s Adminstration Employs Forgetful Tax Payer For SEIU Funds »

How is it there are so many people in government who forget to pay their taxes? As it is, federal employees owe the US Government over $3 BILLION in unpaid taxes. But how is it that Obama keeps picking people to be in his Administration who “forget” to pay their taxes? I don’t get it. [...]

Obama Playing Politics With Borders, Gulf Spill, and KSM »

Recently, Sec. Hillary Clinton made news by telling an Ecuadorean reporter that, sure enough, Obama plans to sue Arizona over its new law. Huh. That was news to Gov. Brewer. Nice way for her to find out for sure. But it begs the question, why. Why is Obama suing Arizona over its new law for [...]

While We Are Distracted… »

By the BP oil spill crisis, and it is certainly worthy of our attention, don’t think things have stopped going on in Washington, DC. Actually, come to think of it, there is a connection between the BP oil crisis and one major issue in DC, the Obamacare program. That connection is – wait for it [...]
