Reaping what you sow

Postville, Iowa is finding out there are downsides to encouraging and endorsing illegal aliens to come to their town. The town had previously benefited from increased funding from the State and Federal government due to an increased population made up of illegal aliens who were working at a meat packing plant in the town.

Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) could result in Catholic Hospitals Closing their doors

25 November 2008
Filed under: Dems/Neo-Socs/Lefties, Religion, Abortion, Health Care

The Obami has said he’d be very happy to sign this bill if passed by Congress. One of the mandates of this bill would require all hospitals to provide abortion on demand without any limitations. Is this what Obami voting Catholics were looking for in “change and hope”?
Does FOCA mean an end to […]

US Contractors in Iraq will be SOL with new force agreement effective Jan. 1, 2009 (SOFA)

24 November 2008
Filed under: Military, Iraq

Looks like the State Department has sold out the very group of people who protect them. If you have a loved one who is a US contractor working in Iraq they will be subject to Iraqi judges and courts.
From Blackwater Facts:
The US and Iraqi governments reportedly have reached an agreement that would protect uniformed […]

American Civics - take the quiz

24 November 2008
Filed under: Education, History

Out of 33 questions on American Civics how do you think you’d score? Take the Quiz! It’s only 33 questions.
I scored 29 out 33 (88%). The report findings are pathetic and sad but then after this last election it doesn’t surprise me. Most people (including our legislators) are woefully ignorant of American […]

A Class Act

22 November 2008
Filed under: History, GOP

There are many invectives and slurs used to describe President George W Bush but one thing that cannot be denied is that he and his wife Laura are a class act. I have not agreed with many of the President’s political positions or actions and have wished at times that he not take the […]

After almost 140 years of Democrat Control, TN House Shifts to Republicans

21 November 2008
Filed under: Politics, Tennessee Related Topics

The sound of Dhimmicrats gnashing their teeth is like the music of a beautiful symphony to Republicans. It should also be that sound for most Tennesseans. No party should control their legislature for this length of time. Hearing the stories of the meltdown by Dhimmicrat legislators the last couple weeks has been […]

Al Qaeda is Racist! Who knew?

Obviously MSNBC is keeping on this story. They’ve learned so much since Sept. 11, 2001, through two fronts on the GWOT in Afghanistan and Iraq.
This bit of video (of which I heard the audio) is just hysterical. It’s like I posted before, these Leftards are certifiable. MSNBC is calling Al Qaeda racist. […]

Gen. Ann E. Dunwoody

Call it breaking the brass ceiling. Ann E. Dunwoody, after 33 years in the Army, ascended Friday to a peak never before reached by a woman in the U.S. military: four-star general.
At an emotional promotion ceremony, Dunwoody looked back on her years in uniform, said it […]

It is a nationwide BUYcott of ammunition. You buy ammunition. 100 Rounds a person.
The goals of Ammo Day:
The goal of National Ammo Day is to empty the ammunition from the shelves of your local gun store, sporting goods, or hardware store and put that ammunition in the hands of law-abiding […]

How informed were Obama voters?

Just watch this video and this will give you an idea of how filtered the information on Obama as been from the media.

I think it’s a sad day in our country when the media jumped head first into bed with a Presidential candidate. Their attacks and disinformation campaign on […]

E.D. Hill leaving Fox News

17 November 2008
Filed under: Media Bias/Distortion

E.D. Hill was always my favorite on Fox and Friends. I pretty much quit watching after she left F&F. Hopefully E.D. will turn up on another national news show or radio show (maybe satellite?). I think she was too conservative for FNC and that’s why her contract is not being renewed. […]

Liberalism - It’s Madness!

17 November 2008
Filed under: Dems/Neo-Socs/Lefties, Technology/Medical

I like to call it “Leftardism” but political madness is good descriptor too. Dr. Lyle H. Rossiter Jr.,M.D. wrote the book “The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness” (2008).
Ellis Washington teaches American Government at Savannah State University and in this WND article he writes about trying to prevent another generation of black […]

One Little Boy Honoring Our Veterans

When my friend showed me this picture of her grandson I asked if I could post it. This is from the Veteran’s Day Parade in Lawrenceburg, Tn. She said that no one told him to do this but he stood quietly like this through out the parade. Never running for any of […]

Old Guard GOP continue to deride Sarah Palin

16 November 2008
Filed under: GOP

This time it’s Newt Gingrich. Although this headline from “The Hill” is deceptive, Gingrich is joining in the piling on of Sarah Palin by GOP RINOs and the media. I’m thinking they must think she is really a threat to their existence. Sarah Palin has fought corruption in her own state against […]

Obama to endorse Saudi ‘Arab “Peace” Plan’

16 November 2008
Filed under: Dems/Neo-Socs/Lefties, Islam, Israel/PA

Nobody should be surprised least of all those Jewish Americans who voted for the Obami. What does this plan do? It reverts Israel to the pre 1967 Six Day War. What will be the effect of this plan? It will flood Arabs into Israel and thus provide the demise of Israel.

Wishy Washy Moderate GOP Govs Jealous of Gov Sarah Palin

14 November 2008
Filed under: GOP

Typical for moderates. Jack Thompson has a great story over at Human Events of what went down at the Republican Governors Conference. What it boils down to is envy of Sarah Palin. Governors like Pawlenty of MN, Crist of FL and Perry of TX got their noses out of joint because support […]

Sympton of US Auto Company’s Cancer

The root of the cancer is the UAW with an enabling auto management. This story emphasizes the stupidity and ridiculousness of US auto companies. They need to declare bankruptcy and restructure to throw out the union thugs which have been holding a gun to their heads for decades now.
Anyone who knows people who […]

An Experiment in Tolerance (guess who was intolerant?)

Of course it’s the intolerant left. Those Obamabots who are looking for “change and hope” are intolerant. Just don’t tell them, they won’t believe it anyway. Facts? Pish, that’s for stupid people, Obamabots operate purely on emotion and feelings.
A 14 year old girl did a an experiment for school. Before […]

John J Pitney Jr at NRO gives Republicans some advice both general and specific.
My advice:

Virtual Veteran’s Day Parade

Yikes, I forgot to link to this yesterday. I participated in this virtual parade which was put together by CJ at Soldier’s Perspective and VA Mortgage Center. VAMC paid $20 for each participant in the parade to be donated to Soldier’s Angels VALOUR IT. In total we raised $460 for voice-controlled/adaptive laptop […]
