And still many of those State and local governments are trying to raise taxes, and only cutting the very things they are mandated by law to fund. Layoff police and firefighters, but keep funding improvements in a park; start or increase kids' programs, but cut road and bridge maintenance. Foolish people doing the same suicidal things they always have. Insane!
Q: What Is A Proven Way to Destroy a Successful Industry?
A: Unionize it. Let's look at recent American history. Unions destroyed the U.S. steel industry. They have destroyed the U.S. textile and garment industry. They have almost completed their destruction of the U.S. auto industry. Which probably explains why Most U.S. Union Members Are Working for...
When it comes to "Barry and the Dems" - A great sound, but the lyrics are always empty fluff - the nil-er the better!
Disaster Watch: Wheels Falling Off Obama's Presidency
Obama's failures have become too deep and numerous for even the most partisan leftist to ignore. The U.S. economy. Jobs. Health care. Cap and trade. Guanatanomo. The terror threat to air travel. And now Obama's latest attempt to cripple the American financial sector with new taxes and regulati...
Hoist that petard real high, and shake it for a while! Make Buffett squeal!
Leftists can never be trusted, and Buffett should have known better.
Obama Admin Steps on Toes of Obama Backer Warren Buffett
Buffett Says He Can’t See Rationale for Bank Levy Obama's soak-the-rich policies are finally getting to the point of annoying Obama's own backer, the otherwise-sensible Obama supporter Warren Buffett. And Buffett is finally annoyed enough to elbow back -- not directly at Obama, of course, bu...
A lying Leftist government? Whoda thunk it?
Eventually the American people might see the truth and toss the idjits out. If we have enough time left.
Obama's Labor Department Is Adding Thousands of Made-Up Jobs to Its Monthly Totals
John Crudele writes at the New York Post blowing the whistle on the Labor Department: [T]he Labor Department uses something called the birth/death model, which assumes that no matter how bad the economy is, there are itty-bitty, newly-formed companies -- which can't be reached by government sur...
He's "The One". What more do you need? He brings Peace by simply speaking, and he speaks often.
Right?
Huh?
Heheheee!
A Nobel for the Do-Nothing President?
This clinches the reputation of the Nobel Peace Prize as a leftist political joke. What has Obama done for peace? He has encouraged America's dangerous, tyrannical and violent enemies like the Palestinians and Hugo Chavez. He has snubbed America's allies like Britain and Israel. He has reduc...
Yes to gun ownership.
The Constitution restricts the Government, not the People. It's our Constitution, not theirs.
No to weiner payments.
I wish the lawyers who file these idiotic suits would get smacked on the heads with the gavel once they reach court. A very big gavel, too. Then fined $100,000 immediately, for aggravated stupidity.
Supremes Take On Real Issues
They're going to take a look at some really interesting cases, this year; among the more important being the Chicago gun ban. This will revisit their decision which overturned the Washington D.C. gun ban in favor of upholding the 2nd Amendment. The main difference, here, is that while D.C. is ...
The McCain campaign used Palin as a stalking horse for the Leftist Loons. She responded admirably. The McCainites were the losers, and acted like it from start to finish. Where they should have supported Palin they left her swinging in the breeze. A**holes.
I wonder if another shot at a VP nomination will be enough for her, or will she go for a top spot?
McCain: The GOP's Jimmuh Cahtah
Many today are opining that the nomination of Sarah Palin is what killed the Republicans in the last election, but they're wrong. What killed the Republicans in the last election was allowing the media to essentially secure the nomination of John McCain. Going with McCain was a disaster becaus...
The Silent Majority has been riled. Silent no longer.
The Picture the Left Can't Quite Believe: Washington, D.C., September 12, 2009
The left is still rubbing its eyes over this one. Crowd estimates range from tens of thousands to two million. How could so many people be so dissatisfied with the big government policies of Obama and Democrats in Congress? It's just the tip of the iceberg, baby.
The Lefties may wish us to forget, or just 'move on,' but we won't.
Will We Still Fight for the Men, Women and Children Murdered by Islamic Terrorists on September 11, 2001?
Murdered by Islamic Terrorists on September 11, 2001 On the eighth anniversary of the attack of September 11, 2001, we will never forget the innocent men, women and children whose lives were cut short on American soil by vicious Islamic terrorists. We must never forget that Islamic terroris...
Obama's fall(s) are a good thing for the country. May he continue to drop. Right on his thick head.
Why Obama Fell to Earth
As explained by Charles Krauthammer: . . . Obama unveiled his plans for a grand makeover of the American system, animating that vision by enacting measure after measure that greatly enlarged state power, government spending and national debt. Not surprisingly, these measures engendered powerf...
"There will be a concerted effort on the left to turn Kennedy's death into a "win one for the Gipper" cry on health care. Of course they will try it. It's all they've got." - Yeah, that's what I figure, too. Another 'Wellstone Memorial Political Rally' moment for the 'loving' Libs. I said something similar on my blog.
Ted Kennedy Is Dead. Can Big-Government Liberalism Be Far Behind?
Ted Kennedy is dead at 77. The broadcast media are all over it. We may see wall-to-wall coverage. Of course, Kennedy's death after a battle with brain cancer was not unexpected. There's been plenty of time to polish the obituaries. There will be a concerted effort on the left to turn Kenne...
My folks belong to a Presbyterian church in Tarpon Springs. They serve as Deacons. Both went through a period of training to serve. The pastor makes sure that all who serve in a position are trained. I think that's a good thing. I have problems with the Presbyterians - I consider myself an Evangelical, I suppose - but this pastor is doing the right thing in ensuring the 'officers' of the church are prepared for service.
:)
Called to Serve = Called to Prepare
Have you noticed the trend…persons serving on church staffs with little training? How often have you seen churches placing persons in paid leadership positions that do not have any experience or formal training? Are they being set up for failure? Okay, I am digging a deep hole here and I want t...
Excellent news! And it works on animals, too. Which means if the medication is cheap enough livestock and pets can be saved. Wildlife - you'd have to send out teams to rescue them - would be treatable, too.
I scrolled down the comments to find the usual, dim-witted comments from PETA-type idiots. Amazing that these fools can continue to breath. You'd think they'd be too stupid to remember how.
Yeesh!
Astonishing News: A Cure for Radiation Sickness Found
An astonishing advance from an Israeli researcher, with a funding assist from the United States: Medication that can protect humans against nuclear radiation has been developed by Jewish-American scientists in cooperation with a researcher and investors from Israel. . . . . The ground-b...
A good memoir. As Brooke said, "succinct."
Tag, I'm It
Loma Alta of the excellent LinknZona blog has tagged me. The Rules: 1. Write your own six word memoir. 2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you want. 3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to the original post if possible so we can track it as travels acro...
Mommy needs to go to work, or they need to move. It's not a crime to think you can pay for more than you actually can. But it's a crime to stay and then demand handouts because you can't pay for the things you should. I wonder what kind of vehicles they have, and how many, how many TVs or computers, and I wonder if Daddy commutes a long way to this job that doesn't pay enough.
Sounds like they bit off way more than they can chew. And it's not the taxpayers' responsibility to help them "keep up".
A Middle Class Squeeze
There's a family of five who cannot afford healthcare insurance. Who cares? Here are the details. Dad works. Mom stays at home. Dad pulls 70k per year. Healthcare insurance costs $500 a month. They have a negative amortization loan on a half-million dollar house in Orange County California, one ...
