Obama Chooses Chief of Staff

Categories: Obama Watch

It is rumored that Obama has chosen his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. Emanuel is currently a congressman from Illinois' 5th District. While Emanuel may be a bright man, he is certainly not known for mild manner behavior. According to a report in the Chicago Tribune in 2006: In a world where congressmen refer to each other as “my distinguished colleague,” Emanuel, 46, is sometimes unable to get through a single sentence without several obscenities. His politics are centrist, ... Read More

A New President

Categories: 2008 Presidential Election, Obama Watch

I did not vote for Obama because I do not like his politics, however, I am somewhat proud of this country for looking beyond race and voting in a man of color. Will this change race relations in this country? It might, but it will be a long time in coming. There will still be those who believe that a black man is not qualified to be President and there will be those who believe that Obama will somehow ... Read More

Would Obama Create More Jobs?

Categories: 2008 Presidential Election

Would Obama create more jobs? Not according to Mitt Romney. Romney blames part of the economic downtown on the Democrats: “What caused this downturn was profligate borrowing in the mortgage market. And who’s been pushing that? Democrats and a lot of Republicans. And then, when it came to regulate that borrowing, Republicans wanted to regulate it and reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Democrats said no, just hand out the money. That’s what caused this downturn.” Of course, I wrote about this ... Read More

Are Women Treated Better by the Left?

Categories: Society

Every time I hear about women's rights I want to scream! Ever since the 1960s and the feminist movement, an elite group of women have been clamoring that women need equality. Now, I am not one to think that women are inferior to men, I just believe that women and men have different strengths and qualities. In my opinion, the left only values certain women. Watch out if you are a stay at home mom, pro-life or even ... Read More

General Welfare?

Categories: Government Rules & Regulations

James Madison, the fourth President of the United States, is often regarded as the Father of the United States Constitution. He also authored, with John Jay and Alexander Hamilton, the Federalist Papers. James Madison opposed the proposal to put Congress in the role of promoting the General Welfare: If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the so called General Welfare they may take the care of religion into their own hands. They may appoint teachers in every state, county and parish ... Read More

Joe The Plumber

Categories: 2008 Presidential Election, Taxes

Are you sick of hearing about Joe The Plumber? I'm not. I think it really drives home an issue. If you make over $250,000 in your business, no matter what your expenses, you will be paying more in taxes under Obama's plan. A business bringing in that amount of money also has plenty of expenses. They need to pay salaries to their workers, buy supplies such as spring plungers, snakes and wrenches, pay for advertising and vehicles. ... Read More

Why I’m Voting for Chuck Baldwin

Categories: 2008 Presidential Election

I think I have made it know that I don't like either of the "two party" candidates, so I am going with a third party this year, The Constitution Party. I am going to vote for a candidate that shares most of my views. I am sad to say that the Republican Party is becoming almost indistinguishable from the Democratic Party on increasing the size of government and pork spending. I have advocated before for the elimination of the Department of ... Read More

SuperFoods

With the talk about health care plans, I thought that maybe both candidates should require people to eat healthier if they want good health care coverage. There has been much talk about “superfoods” and the benefits that can be had by consuming them. Here is a list of superfoods:

Biden’s Gaffes Ingnored by Media?

Categories: 2008 Presidential Election

If Sarah Palin would have said the things that Biden says, she would be hammered by the media. Just another clue that the media is leaning to the left. By the end of the election, I might need more laptop memory to keep up with all the mistakes that he has made. [...]

If Sarah Palin would have said the things that Biden says, she would be hammered by the media. Just another clue that the media is leaning to the left. By the end of the election, I might need more laptop memory to keep up with all the mistakes that he has made. Here are just a few: Biden claims that "Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy." (meaning Obama). ... Read More
