Defeat for Obamacare
At last, great news. The nationalization of healthcare with it’s outlawing of private insurance and forced coverage for abortions and exemption for Congress looks like it is on the way to defeat. And that’s great news. I hope that drives a spike into Obama’s plans to socialize our great country. Once defeated, he’ll appear vulnerable, [...]

My favorite entry in the Recovery.org “stimulous” spending so far: $16,784,272 for canned pork. $16 million dollars is a lot of money for pork, but what do you expect from Congress? Please, Congress, you can stop helping now.

Image via Wikipedia Congress took the Stimulus package behind closed doors to prepare the final version. They’ve set it for a vote today.What happened to the promise of “transparency?” Why aren’t we allowed to see what is in this revised package? Congress is expected to do a blind vote today. “Don’t read it, just vote [...]

In this morning’s Washington Post, Obama wrote that the Stimulus Package (which is horrendously misleading as there is far more liberal pet socialist programs than stimulus in the package) must be passed immediately or puppies will die. No time to read it, just sign it. But then he includes this phrase – “I reject these [...]

By taking such a whopping amount from the American people, the US government is stifling productivity of the [...]

I’m going to keep saying this so that I remember; “Obama is my President.” It’s important to remember we are called to be good citizens.

Image via Wikipedia It’s National Bailout Day, seeing as how our illustrious US Congress has allocated $700 billion for Wall Street bankers. As Christians, I think we probably could put $700 billion to better use, don’t you? But I got to thinking that our lives are not ours, we have been purchased at a cost. [...]

As we all know by now, Congress failed to pass the Bailout Bill on Monday for $700 billion (a number, apparently, the US Treasury just made up). If they pass it, they saddle taxpayers with the debt and socialize the banking system. If they don’t pass it, they tell us civilization will end as we [...]
