What is the Women's Media Center so afraid of.......... Tim Tebow of all people.... Really! - 01/27/10 10:02 AM
I find it interesting that a group of women are so adamant on shutting down a commercial that is set to air during the Superbowl this year. The commercial which is being paid for by Focus on the Family tells the story of Tim Tebow's mother Pam who went against a doctor's advice and decided to keep Tim despite medical risks. 
This is a subject near and dear to my heart because I was told the same thing from doctors and had I listened my husband and I would not have our son Cody.
 

 
The Women's Media Center is the group that is trying so hard to have … (14 comments)

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IMPACTING FHA LOANS - 01/25/10 08:31 PM
I wanted to pass along the below information that I received from one of my key Mortgage Brokers.
Laurie George is the best of the best when it comes to Mortgage Brokers. My husband and I have personally used her on our last three home purchases.
 

Announced FHA Policy Changes:
Mortgage insurance premium (MIP) will be increased to build up capital reserves and bring back private lending
 
The first step will be to raise the up-front MIP by 50 bps to 2.25% and request legislative authority to increase the maximum annual MIP that the FHA can charge. If … (6 comments)

"Leader in Texas"!!
 You can also learn the difference between a Man in Cuba vs a Man in America.

I have a couple of questions about my views as a Conservative vs Progressive Liberal thought. - 01/17/10 10:11 AM
How far have we slipped down the road.....
When a liberal will not even stop to think about your opinion they just hate you for it and call you a racist instead. I believe it says a lot about the value of their opinion.
I have a question for you. Am I a racist or am I just a Conservtive??

Super Bowl Ads For Political Candidates - 01/14/10 11:16 AM
Here is another important issue to watch!!


 

Via Bonnie Vaughan, CNE (Century 21 Sherlock Homes,Inc):
The Associated Press reported that the Supreme Court is considering lifting the ban on Corporations, Unions and wealthy individuals from funding campaign ads.  The ruling could affect the upcoming 2010 elections and the 2012 Presidential election. 
 
A ruling is expected as early as Tuesday. Lifting the ban would change the entire advertising strategy used by candidates.  It could become the sky is the limit with TV ads presented during prime time.  Super Bowl style ads costing millions could bombard the … (4 comments)

The Progressive Liberal Left has gone to a new low and in my opinion crossed the line.
You decide and let me know what you think. I came across this public blog on AR. Front Page of Todays Al Jezeera. Now the original poster has taken this down due to public outcry over such a post and her source of information being Al Jezeera TV. So now she has a new post I guess thinking a US based NPR broadcast is nicer sounding than Al Jezeera. Here is her new post.

Via Bonnie Vaughan, CNE (Century 21 Sherlock Homes,Inc):
Tonight I received this email from my broker.  I thought the issue was extremely important to all Realtors and wanted to pass it along.
 
I've heard that Cap and Trade contained a provision which could cause homeowners to retrofit their homes prior to selling them. 
 
We know that would be a huge financial undertaking for owners prior to selling a home.  Potentially it could deal a terrible blow to an already … (2 comments)

Just how much more will Parents allow before we stop what we are doing and speak out!! - 01/12/10 01:28 PM

OK Parents if you are not Outraged, You are not Paying Attention. "UPDATED"
"Freedom incurs responsibility, that is why so many men fear it." My children are my responsibility!
My question is when will the time come for us to decide enough is enough, we must stop what we are doing in our busy lives and take action to protect our children! The people who are influening our children are not good people.
Here is just another example as to how your children are being indoctrinated. … (20 comments)

The Progressive Liberal Left is Desperate... Create a Crisis to get rid of the opposition.....or they use the Victicrat!!
I believe we have even seen this here on AR.
What is becoming more and more apparent is that the progressive liberal left is so desperate they will even stoop to unethical lows in their own professions to get rid of the opposition. This is their strategy.

Obama's Next Move to Sell out the United States - 01/05/10 02:01 PM
Please read an important post from my friend Larry Bettag!!

Via Larry Bettag - Cherry Creek Mortgage:
Wow...check this out.  Obama, once again, sells the United States out in his most recent stance to rid the United States of any ability to self govern.  I am trying to be positive this year, but this stuff just really irritates me.  I'm not sure why Obama would just say, "here....have carte blanche foreign organization and operate how you like with very little impunity. 
Can you say wow????
