Obama’s first year nearly bankrupts the treasury
October 17, 2009No matter what side of the political fence you are on, if this doesn’t make you angry at our elected officials, nothing will.


WASHINGTON — The Treasury said the U.S. ran its biggest budget deficit since World War II, a record that promises to complicate Democrats’ efforts to enact their agenda.
The Treasury Department reported that the deficit for the 2009 fiscal year ended Sept. 30 came in at about $1.4 trillion, or about 10% of the U.S.’s gross domestic product. Read the rest of this entry »
Democratic Representive Alan Grayson on the GOP Health Care Plan: “Don’t Get Sick! And if You Do Get Sick, Die Quickly!”‘
September 30, 2009These are the sort of childish tactics being employed these days in the House of Representatives. Is it any wonder American have lost faith in Congress? Of course what Grayson says is not only a lie, but absurd and beyond reason and even the worst rhetoric.
This idiotic display of labeling is reminiscent of something similarly stupid uttered by our local planning commissioner John Luvaas who made a remark in a public hearing about the Enloe hospital expansion that the city had to consider other things besides saving “82 1/2-year-old people that are going to die in a year-and-a-half anyway.”
A move to oust Luvaas over that statement failed before the City Council. Apparently when Democrats do things like this it isn’t as “wrong” as when Republicans do. Will Representative Grayson lose his seat over this lie or even get a sanction like Joe Wilson? Doubtful, but one can always hope.
Obama gets weed whacked
August 29, 2009Kudos to farmer Sam Bates, who is excercising his constituitional first amendment right. This story comes to us courtesy of KCBD-TV, a television station not yet a victim of the “fairness doctrine” in Lubbock, Texas.
An unusual sign of protest has sprung up in Lubbock County, but you’ll have to take to the sky to see it. Once a year, Sam Bates plows over the weeds in a playa lake on his property, but this year, he left a little something behind. “I just had some free time,” Bates said.

“This is a sign of frustration,” Bates said. He tells NewsChannel 11 the reason behind the message is what’s going on in Washington.
Farmer Bates sets a great example for anyone willing to use free speech rights to resist what’s being done to our country. Be creative, get the message out any way you can.
Obama’s approval rating sinks to new low
August 24, 2009If ObamaCo was a stock, traders would be yelling SELL!
Maybe it’s the record unemployment, or his record spending, or his failed planning, or the climbing misery index, or his failed policies, or his record deficit, or his constant apologizing, or his trashing the cops, or his radical plans to takeover the health care industry…
Whatever the reason Dear Leader’s popularity has tanked. The radical leftist has seen his presidential index number drop an amazing 44 points since he took office!

Conservatives Now Outnumber Liberals in All 50 States, Says Gallup Poll
Monday, August 17, 2009
By Terence P. Jeffrey, Editor-in-Chief
(CNSNews.com) – Self-identified conservatives outnumber self-identified liberals in all 50 states of the union, according to the Gallup Poll.
At the same time, more Americans nationwide are saying this year that they are conservative than have made that claim in any of the last four years.
In 2009, 40% percent of respondents in Gallup surveys that have interviewed more than 160,000 Americans have said that they are either “conservative” (31%) or “very conservative” (9%). That is the highest percentage in any year since 2004.
Only 21% have told Gallup they are liberal, including 16% who say they are “liberal” and 5% who say they are “very liberal.”
Thirty-five percent of Americans say they are moderate.
During Republican President George W. Bush’s second term, the number of self-identified conservatives as measured by Gallup dropped, riding at a low of 37% as recently as last year.
