POLK COUNTY FLORIDA SHERIFF GRADY JUDD An illegal alien in Polk County Florida who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop ended up 'executing' the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A state wide manhunt ensued. The murderer was found hiding in a wooded area and as soon as he took a shot at the SWAT team, officers opened fire on him. They hit the guy 68 times. Naturally, the liberal media went (2 comments)

lake arrowhead properties: New Take on You Might Be A Redneck.
- 11/19/09 07:21 AM
We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years. It's time to take a reflective look at the core?beliefs of a culture that values home, family, country and God. If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd choose a half dozen or so rednecks friends to back me up. Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- that's what rednecks are made of. I hope I am one of those. If you feel the same, pass this on to your redneck friends. Ya'll know who ya'll are.
You might be a redneck if: It never occurred to you to be (2 comments)

Andy Rooney said on '60 Minutes' a few weeks back: I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens.Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.Guns do not make you a killer.

Bonds are up this morning after the release of some economic data that indicated less growth than was forecast. Headline Retail Sales beat expectations, but a downward revision to the previous report put the 2 month total in line with forecasts. The ex-autos number was lower than expected and also included a downward (0 comments)
The bond market has re-opened this morning after a day off yesterday. However, there is still very little to give the market direction. Jobless claims came in lower than expected and reached a 10 month low. This really did nothing for bond prices, though. Later today, the Treasury will complete this week's auctions with a 30yr bond issuance. Recent auctions have indicated (0 comments)
The drought of economic data continues today. The only event that should have a serious impact on prices today is the Treasury's 10yr note auction. Yesterday's 3yr auction was well received. The last auction of the longer end of the curve was 2 weeks ago when the 7yr issuance saw lackluster demand and caused Treasuries and mortgages to fall. That result (1 comments)
Mortgage prices are mostly unchanged this morning in spite of some positive economic data being released. Productivity surged in the 3rd quarter which is good news for inflation and earnings, but not so good for people who are out of work. The rate at which people are joining the unemployed ranks slowed last week, though, (0 comments)

Highlights on Nancy Pelosi's new health bill, HR 3962, all 1,990 pages. Think anybody in Congress will be reading it? If you believe a bill that creates over 50 new government agencies and commissions will not raise your taxes and costs, do nothing. If you believe it will cost you, and it will in more ways than just money, call your representatives to stop them from passing it. This is a House bill so call your Congressmen, especially if they are Democrats. I've included a list of some of the effects this bill will have. I can't tell you that the (2 comments)

If you don't care about the path our country is now on, so be it. But if you do care, and care about the America we will leave to our children, you will want to take the time to read the following. Even if you find it a bit alarmist, as do I, it nevertheless contains nuggets of truth which foretell an evil (yes, "evil") outcome, I E., socialism, if America continues on its present course. Remember this, forewarned is forearmed. And remember this as well, paraphrasing Thomas Jefferson, (Remember him?), "A government which has the power to "give" (0 comments)
