Just how bad is the Spendulus Bill?

I was going to launch into a long, detailed explanation about what we can expect now that the spendulus bill has been passed. But, lo and behold I came across a video on YouTube that does an excellent job of doing just that. So without further ado:

So now what?

Well, I knew it would happen sooner or later and to anyone who HAS been paying attention this does NOT come as any surprise. We've just learned that the IAEA has told the UN that Iran has now enriched enough uranium for at least one bomb. They also happened to mention… Read full post »

This is how we treat our heroes?

Jeffrey Maxwell is a veteran of the U.S. Marines and the War in Iraq. After his honorable service to this country he returned from the war and decided that he would go out and make something of himself and get a college degree. That was 3 years ago.

Today, Maxwell… Read full post »

But Obama will be different!

Well, I knew it would happen sooner or later. The newly sworn-in Senator from Illinois, Roland Burris, is in deep trouble and most of us saw this coming. If I was a betting man I would wager that he will not be a Senator 30 days from now. Even the Obama… Read full post »

Evolution? Really?

In the last post I outlined some of the laws of the natural world that Evolution Believers (EB's) must ignore for them to lend credence to evolution as the "scientifically proven" explanation for the origins of life.

In this post I will try to explain to you what it is they DO… Read full post »

There are many who believe that evolution is a proven fact and that to suggest anything else would be foolhardy.  They claim that science has "proven" evolution to be true and that the argument is settled . However, there are those, like me, who believe that God created all things and… Read full post »

Who's really in charge?

It has now become painfully obvious that the Democratically controlled Congress is going to beat up on the fledgling Obama Administration like a rag doll. The Dems are drunk with power and they don't plan to share any of it with the Obamessiah. The stimulus bill is just the beginning. They… Read full post »

Just for one day...

Happy Valentines Day everyone! This is not going to be a long post because it is more of a public service announcement than anything else but I still thinks it's important.

For just this one day let's all do ourselves a favor and TRY to love one another. Let's turn off… Read full post »

Welcome to the USSA

Mark it down and make sure you remember this day. Friday, February 13, 2009, Friday the 13th. You'll want to carve out a little brain space so that you can make sure you recall where you were when you heard.

This is the day that our elected officials, primarily those… Read full post »

Obama, Netanyahu, Hamas and Iran

This is exactly what Obama did NOT want. He probably wasn't actually pulling for Livni but I guarantee that he did NOT want to see Netanyahu end up as the new PM of Israel. Even though the margin is very slight and the vote will not be final until February 18th,… Read full post »

Propagandist in Chief

We just watched The President of the United States get up in front of millions of… Read full post »

"Twilight": A Dad's Perspective.

By now you've either heard about it or you've seen the movie I'm sure. This summer's hottest teen sensation was "Twilight" which was a movie made about a book with the same name. It's basically a teen romance that happens to involve vampires. Not just any vampires though, these are "good"… Read full post »

Will "buyer's remorse" settle in?

Well, it's done. The 800 gazillion dollar spendulus, I mean stimulus bill was passed finally in the Senate. Congratulations to Mr Obama and his new Administration and to the Dems (and two weak Repubs) that made it happen. Now we wait.

The bill contained 43% tax cuts and 57% new spending… Read full post »

The Resurgent Russian Bear

Just what exactly has the Kremlin been up to lately? While we here in America have been enthralled with our latest Presidential Election, the Russians have slowly, quietly been traveling the world reaching out to our enemies and allies alike with the sole intent of strengthening their relationships w… Read full post »

Is there a Plan B?

Now that we are beginning to see that the first bailout plan (TARP) hasn't really done anything and that the additional bailout plan (Obama's Stimulus Bill) is falling apart the longer it is kept under the magnifying glass,my question is: What do we do next? Is there a Plan B? Has… Read full post »

Another Appointment Bows Out

Another day, another Obama Cabinet appointee bows out. In case you haven't heard Tommy D is out as the Secretary of the HHS. He withrew his name after yet another tax related issue. This really has become somewhat of a circus now. What is that three nominees that have withdrawn so… Read full post »

It's payback time!

Payback 

There is still time to stop it but since the House already passed the huge "Obama Bailout Bill" along party lines, I have no doubt that the Senate will do the same. It was inevitable really. I knew that once Obama got in he would make sure that the Dems… Read full post »
