Obama Urges Spending Curbs for Somebody, But Not Him

Posted on February 23, 2009. Filed under: Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Associated Press headline, “Obama urges spending curbs, hands out $15 billion.” After not quite a month in office, I’ve begun to change my opinion on the President. I thought at first he was a useful idiot, a tool of the powerful Democrat Spending Machine. I no longer think he’s useful, and “idiot” may be too [...]

One Politician With Conviction

Posted on February 12, 2009. Filed under: Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Image by Getty Images via Daylife Republican Judd Gregg abruptly withdraws his nomination over two irreconcilable differences with Obama. Over meaningful issues, I may add. “However, it has become apparent during this process that this will not work for me as I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the Census [...]

Rejecting the Arrogance

Posted on February 5, 2009. Filed under: Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

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 [...]

Presidential Actions, Week 1

Posted on January 26, 2009. Filed under: Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , |

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. But that doesn’t mean we check our beliefs and feelings at the door and blindly follow our new Dear Leader. In one week – He reestablished federal funding for overseas [...]

Executive Kill Orders

Posted on November 10, 2008. Filed under: News, Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Obama’s first executive orders are about to gives us a hint what the next four years will be like. Presidents long have used executive orders to impose policy and set priorities. One of Bush’s first acts was to reinstate full abortion restrictions on U.S. overseas aid. The restrictions were first ordered by President Reagan and [...]

The Loss of Conservatism

Posted on November 4, 2008. Filed under: News, Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Image by Getty Images via Daylife If the major news media has succeeded today in discouraging conservatives from voting, the trifecta will be complete – Legislative, Executive, and Media. The blame for such a loss can be spread to many people. Let’s start at the top. I like President Bush, and I threw my entire [...]

Targeting Religious Voters

Posted on August 14, 2008. Filed under: Faith, Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

I must be a target, then. U.S. presidential rivals Barack Obama and John McCain target religious voters on Saturday when as guests of one of America’s foremost evangelists they discuss faith in public life, AIDS, the environment and other issues. Neither of the candidates appeal to me from a spiritual conviction. McCain can be downright [...]

Russia Will Get Away With It

Posted on August 11, 2008. Filed under: General | Tags: , , , , , , |

Russia invades Georgia, and we’ll make mewing-like complaints. Russia will conquer our ally Georgia and we will do nothing useful to stop it. Georgia, once part of the Soviet Union, has become a strong ally of the US. Three quarters of their country voted to join Nato. That must gall Russia. So they weighed their [...]

EU Elects Obama President

Posted on July 25, 2008. Filed under: Politics | Tags: , , |

Ok, I admit. I just don’t get it. Why is Obama campaigning in Europe? It’s apparent from yesterday’s new he’s won the German vote, and today he’s going after the French vote. He’s sure to win since McCain isn’t campaigning there. Is he trying to become President of the European Union?

Fruitcake Interpretation of the Bible

Posted on June 24, 2008. Filed under: Faith, News | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Go get’em, James Dobson. Obama had some very liberal interpretations of what the bible says, and simultaneously tried to minimize Christian influence in politics *and* say that all religious discussions are welcome. James is firing back against what he called a “fruitcake interpetation of the bible.” I love that phrase. News sources come from here [...]
