Vote No on Issue 3

I’m against gambling on the whole, and changing the constitution to allow gambling, and inviting casino gambling interests to Ohio in particular. They just have the “Ohio jobs” carrot to pull the wool over people’s eyes. Don’t buy what they have to sell… don’t sell out...

Racial Politics

Racial Politics Today’s world is trying to walk a fine balance. We are trying to keep our civilized noses above water in the inundations of clashes between cultures, religions, and races. What is at stake is the hard won tolerance, true tolerance of diverse heritages and backgrounds, as well as appreciation of the human race as a whole. Evil takes its advantages wherever it can find them, however. Once we came to a...

Health Care

While the Health care debate has been coalescing into something along the lines of a question of our patriotism, our compassion as humans, our survival as a nation even…. it bears some thought as to whether our ideals of morality ought always to be our guiding light as to our consensus on what is legal. For a long time we have devolved into a morality and legality ruled by majority. We intervene in...

States Rights, Tea Parties…What Do You Think?

Mostly we center on the economy anymore (in the news, personal conversations, blogs, etc)…. I know that gets the lion’s share of my own interest in reading news, etc. But what about the rumblings on States rights, what about the tea parties protesting our taxes and national debt? Are they hot air, just letting off pressure, or genuine attempts by informed citizens… or something else?...

Homeland Security Expansion

You may or may not be aware of these developments: “A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines “rightwing extremism in the United States” as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority, reports the Washington Times today. “It may include...

Unfair and Self Destructive

I didn’t vote for Obama- I’m going to be upfront on that, but this trend:“The populist anger at the executives who ran their firms into the ground is increasingly blowing back on Obama” is not just politics. It is about preservation of the USA. All of us. Our economic health is not partisan and it isn’t even a divide between immigrant and citizen. We ought to hold the fire...

Stuff in the News

Things that my husband and I are talking about: Just a token article about a growing phenomenon, Growing gun buying, widening ammo shortage, there is huge backlog of demand for ammunition right now. This is another one of those background areas that thinking people need to pay attention to. I don’t believe this is just a ‘fringe’ or fly-by-night situation. There seems to be a growing...

Rant of the Year?

Ok, I’m not going to say a lot here, mainly because I tend to a moderate view on some of the proposed fiscal policy. That said, though, I do think we are hearing the voice of many people in our nation, when hearing the opinions voiced here. What it means to me is that if there are bailouts and buyouts and stimulus packages, they need to be wisely and carefully implemented. And because of it being...

Go, New Hampshire!!!

New Hampshire and a few other states are resolving to draw a line for states rights. Telling the Federal government: “It states that New Hampshire people “have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent State; and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right, pertaining thereto, which is not, or may not...

Agree with Peter Schiff?

Marc Faber yields even more bad predictions. I think there is only one cure, but will we take it? I’m not talking about biting the bullet, or such things… I’m talking about something which requires much more faith. Prayer. Prayer changes the course of nations, including our own. And this is what we need the most: to get on our knees and ask for mercy. Some people wallow in schadenfreude,...

Civilian Corps: Your Friendly Neighborhood Gestapo

That may be what we are headed for in realizing Obama’s promised Dream State. I have had a discussion going with Hootsbuddy about the idea of a civilian corps as put forth by Rahm Emanuel, that we took into private email for a few exchanges. All friendly, while in disagreement- the way good civil conversations should go. But I think it is time we took off the rosey colored glasses that give us the...

Tax Dollars At Work

A Minnesotan suicide bomber (now there’s a phrase) originally from Somalia returned to the old country and blew up himself and 29 other people last October. His family prevailed upon your government to have his parts (or as many of them as could be sifted from the debris) returned to the United States at taxpayer expense and buried in Burnsville Cemetery. Well, hey, in the current climate,...

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Jewish Center…

I beg to differ… things have changed

Been reading over the reactions of my fellow conservatives in the wake of the election of a Left Democratic President. A few things struck me. One comment:”The Clinton’s entertained us for eight years with their hijinks and I’m sure Barry & the Clowns will do the same. And, in the end little to nothing will change.” That was appended to a post by Slublog,”He is...
