Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process. "Every American is indebted to our troops for their bravery, their patriotism, and the sacrifice they are willing to make for our country. Just as our soldiers pledge to leave no one behind on the battlefield, we must leave no veteran … (9 comments)

Ok folks, I have tried to stay away from politics this week, posting just a few quotes from other folks. I almost made it a whole week. Now we have Nancy Pelosi playing the fear card. I can't keep quite any longer this week folks. So here goes! Nancy Pelosi is a two faced coward! Here behavior is deplorable. How the hell can she be afraid of anything when she hides from the issues when she goes home for summer break! If there is trouble it is because of her and her unwillingness to listen to any and I do mean … (10 comments)

By 1962 Norman Thomas summed up the whole situation as follows: "The difference between Democrats and Republicans is: Democrats have accepted some ideas of Socialism cheerfully, while Republicans have accepted them reluctantly." (as quoted in The Naked Capitalist, page 130)
Excerpts from the Democratic Platform of 1932 "The Democratic Party solemnly promises by appropriate action to put into effect the principles, policies and reforms herein advocated and to eradicate the political methods and practices herein condemned.. "We advocate immediate and drastic reduction of governmental expenditures by abolishing useless commissions and offices, consolidating departments and bureaus, and eliminating extravagance to … (3 comments)
Summary: Lawsuits are causing doctors to face skyrocketing insurance rates. The threat of litigation causes many physicians to practice "defensive medicine," recommending tests and procedures in order to limit future liability rather than focusing on the needs of their patients. The HEALTH Act, modeled after California's 30-year-old and highly successful health care litigation reforms, addresses the current crisis and will make health care delivery more accessible and cost-effective in the United States.
Under the HEALTH Act's … (7 comments)

Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel, a top advisor to the Obama Administration's health reform efforts, wrote in the Feb. 27, 2008, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA): "Vague promises of savings from cutting waste, enhancing prevention and wellness, installing electronic medical records and improving quality of care are merely 'lipstick' cost control, more for show and public relations than for true change." The change the president asked Americans to believe in when he campaigned last fall somehow didn't include the $3.6 tn in new spending, the $787 bn stimulus plan, or a nearly $1 tn overhaul of health care. … (6 comments)
House Democrats seized on House rules Thursday to demand South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson offer a high-profile apology to President Obama for shouting, "You lie," during the president's health care address. Democrats have threatened to censure Wilson absent such an apology. With a leadership meeting set for Thursday afternoon, it is possible they will discuss it and introduce such a measure next week even though House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had said that was not being talked about. Wilson called the White House … (10 comments)

"White House economists said Thursday that the Obama administration's recovery efforts have saved or created more than one million jobs so far, an optimistic report that economists cautioned was preliminary and uncertain." Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth fairy and I, discussed this at lunch today and really could not find any proof of it. Unemployment did go up though. … (8 comments)

Well folks it's happened! We are no longer the "UNITED" States of America, last night made sure of that. I was afraid that this would happen and it did. Blame, blame and more blame. Lie, lie and more lies. I do wish the South Carolina gentleman would have kept his mouth shut, knowing how VINDICTIVE this group of socialists are. Yes he was right, but you just don't poke the bear folks! As a Texan, I no longer wish to be apart of the "States of America". I think our sovereignty is more important than the ego's in D.C. and their … (10 comments)
"President tells Congress he wants a health reform bill that will require people to have insurance, similar to state-based car insurance mandates." Wow, how do we mandate the people who are here illegally?
Amazing when he was running for president, healthcare reform was not even on the radar and a few short months later it's at the "breaking Point?"
So now we force people to buy health insurance for thousands of dollars. It is unbelievable that forced expenditures … (11 comments)

Major news outlets, like The New York Times, The Washington Post and CBS ignored the mess surrounding former White House environmental Czar Van Jones and the videos surfacing of his controversial statements. Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said Jones continued to work in the administration and asserted that the president didn't agree with his controversial statements. Yet most of the media still didn't pay attention even after Gibbs' comment. CBS News became the first of the three broadcast networks on Friday to note the controversy, but ABC's "World News" and "NBC Nightly News" again failed to report the story. After Jones' midnight … (21 comments)

WASHINGTON - The European Union is strongly criticizing a congressional proposal to charge a $10 fee to some visitors to the United States and suggesting it may carry a price for U.S. travelers. If it passes, the EU says, some U.S. travelers to Europe could face retaliation. The fee now under consideration in Congress would finance a new U.S. program to promote travel, a burden that the EU believes Americans should bear. "Only in `Alice in Wonderland' could a penalty be seen as promoting the activity on which it is imposed," the European Commission's Ambassador to Washington, John Bruton, said in … (7 comments)

White House green jobs adviser Van Jones resigned in the middle of the Labor Day weekend following persistent controversy over his past remarks and associations. He issued back-to-back apologies -- first, for calling Republicans "assholes" during a videotaped address earlier in the year, and second for signing a petition in 2004 supporting the "9/11 truther" movement, which believes the Bush administration may have been involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
If either bush had appointed anyone as contraversial as this guy as a dog catcher, there would have been calls of racisum, hate mongering and so much more. … (7 comments)

This is private enterprise at work: A brand new 747-400 runs about $260,000,000 (260 million). Some of the newer freighters are going for more than $300 million. This is our Government at work: A brand new F-22 Raptor costs 339 million without ammunition. A B-2 bomber costs 2.2 BILLION each.
