Condom Conundrum

Posted on March 23, 2009. Filed under: News | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , |

Liberal conundrum: US Agency for International Development has distributed 10 billion US-made condoms around the world. To save money, they can switch to Chinese-made condoms. They’re less than half the price. But that will eliminate jobs in Alabama. Should the US government insert a “buy American” provision back into the stimulus bill, even though it’s [...]

Cripple America

Posted on March 3, 2009. Filed under: General | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

My opinion: Obama and his team are in waaaaay over their collective heads. They believe the world is basically good, and because Obama is in control of the White House, the world will warm to them and we will all live together in harmony. Except that’s not the world. Putin will outmaneuver the clueless Obama. [...]

Nero Fiddled. Obama Does the Congo.

Posted on March 2, 2009. Filed under: General | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Image by Getty Images via Daylife And the stock market burned. The Dow was down almost 300 more points today, probably on it’s way to zero. And Obama dances the congo. I suspect they served appletinis. A week before that, the foot-stomping sounds of Sweet Honey in the Rock, a female a cappella group, filled [...]

Tea Party

And so the veil of deceit lifts. The news media, so eager to proclaim Obama as the messiah during the election cycle, now turns on him and begins to devour him. What changed? In one sense, nothing. Obama’s promises of socialist changes are progressing. Universal health care, nationalization of manufacturers and banking, imposition of union [...]

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 [...]

Congress is expected to do a blind vote today. “Don’t read it, just vote [...]

Ok, so that’s a scare title. But not by much.Buried deep in the so-called Stimulus Plan are new government-mandated health-care restrictions. Here are some snippets – The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system. One new bureaucracy, [...]

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 [...]

Executive Kill Orders

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 [...]
