Well, SOMEBODY Caved

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen on April 9, 2011

In the dark of the night with but an hour to go before a shutdown, a deal was struck to keep our government open for business. Boehner made a brief announcement followed by the president’s campaign style announcement followed by a bland and often repetitive oratory by Harry Reid on the floor of the senate.

Now, as the sun rises on the day after, social media is abuzz as conservatives, republicans and Tea Party faithful clamor about being sold out. How could Boehner cave like this? Boehner has to go. The cuts are too small. We lost. It’s all there floating in cyberspace for all to see.

Rules Change for Paying Military During Shutdown

Posted on by

By Margaret Smith on April 8, 2011

Military Momma Grizzly reporting

Tell the truth to all your friends, spread the word to all your Military families, the Commander In Chief, Pres Obama, changed the way Military is paid during a government shutdown. In 1995 during the shutdown the Military was paid they were considered Essential Personnel as they should be. But last year then Speaker Pelosi and Senator Harry Reid along with approval from Pres Obama, they made the decision to not pass the 2011 fiscal budget. It became political for them; this was an opportunity to use this against the Republicans as a majority of military do vote Republican. So the Commander in Chief stabbed his men and women in the back for political gain… Then in 2010 Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi failed to produce a budget, she let the process go into continuing resolutions during the election time frame. Once again this action was all for politics.

Troops$ or Abortion$

Right now, Harry Reid in the senate, argues that the hold up on a stop gap spending bill that would fund the military through the end of the fiscal year and the rest of government for another week, is not valid and should not be considered because of a lack of funding for title 10.

Call it what it REALLY is Harry Reid. Title 10 does NOT receive tax payer funding. Planned Parenthood Does. You are NOT holding this up over title 10 your ARE holding it up over the defunding of Planned Parenthood.

To claim otherwise is, at best, disingenuous and more accurately, a transparent deception of the American people.

Are Unions Obsolete?

Are Unions Obsolete? I Asked Around to Find the Answer

By Patty Ewing Robichaud, April 8, 2011

My feelings have been made clear about unions all throughout March 2011 – I am no fan, and the shenanigans in Wisconsin have brought my blood to a boil as I watch unions trying to strong arm businesses like a Mafia protection racket.

And the first thing I hear from liberals when I express my outrage is that I must hate teachers. Huh? No, it is the unions I dislike – not their individual members (unless, of course, they are thugs).

But no need for me to rehash my data here.

Of Race and Gender in Politics

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen on April 7, 2011

Certainly there ARE those who allow race and gender to influence their political decisions as well as their votes. I suspect they are also people who allow such things to influence their daily lives. Both, I believe, men and women, fall into this demographic.

Such are people who believe a woman is not as competent, not as strong, not as qualified as would be a man in the workplace, on the battlefield or in elected office. Such people, I suspect would also base their friendships on race. Oh yes, they would outwardly claim they have friends of different ethnicities, or claim they believed in a much more equal standard between men and women but a close look at their behavior would tell a different story.

What IF????

Posted on by

By Emmanuel Etchells-Ayre – United Kingdom on April 7, 2011

Just a thought here now: What if ? What IF we also took the Holy Writ and corrupted it to say the following (please bear with me here!), in this scenario: Preacher man stands up and says the following:  “The Lord Almighty declares that all unbelievers shall die, regardless of whether they are men women or children, for all are guilty of sinfulness, the sin of disbelief being the chief of their sins!” and he then reads from Deuteronomy chapter seven ….

Deu 7:1  When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; Deu 7:2  And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: Deu 7:3  Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. Deu 7:4  For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.

Nonessential Panic

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen on April 6, 2011

If the government shuts down on Friday night, perhaps more accurately, WHEN the government shuts down, there will be some impact on some citizens but, it won’t be the Armageddon predicted by liberals.

If you were waiting for a passport…you’ll have to keep waiting. Seriously, there aren’t that many countries worth visiting right now anyway.

If you are about to get a home or small business loan…you’re not going to until all the NON essential government workers get back to process your NON essential loan. You’ve waited this long…just hang on a little longer. If you were to get your loan you might actually be accused of helping to grow the economy and we can’t have THAT.

Concrete vs. Foundationless Answers

Conservative Answers “Concrete”; Liberals Answers “Foundationless”

By Margaret Smith on April 6, 2011

In the past 30 years of politics, liberals have had the bullhorn of the Media; whether it is local or national television, liberal political headlines have been favorable for all Democrat politicians. I know many people today have taken the blinders off seeing for the first time the media bias against Conservative values. I am amongst those fellow Americans.

Can Barak Trump Donald?

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen on April 4, 2011

From the time of his election, and yes, in fact, since his nomination, there have been questions regarding Barak Obama’s citizenship. The constitution is clear, “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

 

If one thing is clear regarding Obama and the liberal/socialist machine which protects him it is that they have established a pattern with their tactics. To see this tactic, one needs to step back and look at individual issues.

Failing Liberal Re-Education Camp

Posted on by

By Patty Ewing Robichaud, April 1, 2011

It finally happened – one of my irreverent posts caught the eye of the administration. I wonder, could it have been this one, Proof of the Evolution of the Liberal Gene?

Well, it doesn’t matter which one did it – the black van with no windows pulled into my driveway and a bunch of guys in black suits and dark sunglasses piled out. Of course, thinking they were probably Mormons or Avon, I opened the door willingly.

Then everything suddenly went dark.

Upon awakening and checking out my surroundings, I appeared to be in a holding cell – perhaps under the bowling alley in the White House? Or it could have been Gitmo. It was dark, dank, and the stuff you see in the movies.
