REFLECTIONS

Representative Pete Stark at a townhall meeting asserting that the Constitution places very few limitations on the goverment, and that the feds can do pretty much anything they want to. Click Here

I am sure you have all heard about Obama’s recommendations for the Gulf, and the review panel saying “those aren’t the recommendations we signed off on”. What is being lost here is the implications of one of the biggest of the recommendations. Obama wants to stop all offshore drilling for six months. Sound good? Sound [...]

California Penal Code section 834b reads (in part, there are three more paragraphs I am not quoting here): 834b. (a) Every law enforcement agency in California shall fully cooperate with the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service regarding any person who is arrested if he or she is suspected of being present in the United [...]

Ad for Dale Peterson, candidate for Agriculture Commissioner in Alabama. Now this is the kind of fire we need to see in our candidates!  I hope some of the other Republicans learn from this man. Of course, they need to keep that fire after being elected, and not just produce empty ads and campaign promises.  [...]

In WWII millions of Jews were killed because people just could not believe that such a thing could possibly happen.  This tendancy towards disbelief is one of the most valuable human traits for those who would do such things again. This is a video clip taken at an appearance by David Horowitz at UCSD.  The important part [...]

Ok, I can not seem to embed the clip, so hop on over to Hot Air to see John “Gramnesty” McCain’s new TV ad. Warning: your head will explode upon viewing this … travesty. I feel sorry for the border patrolman in the ad who had to say what he did at the end.  Maybe they [...]

Former President Bill “Bubba” Clinton just weighed in with an opinion so divorced from current reality that it makes my mind boggle.  He says that to reduce the deficit we need more immigrants.  Clinton said that one key to avoiding massive debt is to maintain a good ratio between people paying into the system, and those [...]

Consider this a facepalm moment.  I knew all of these things but I had never put it together quite this way before.  I was listening to a caller on a National Radio Call-in Show.  He was talking about  talking about how we deal with illegal immigrants and he said: It’s “don’t ask don’t tell” when [...]

A recent army excercise at Ft. Knox was held to prepare a defense against terrorist threat adversaries identified as “Local Militia Groups / Anti-Government Protesters / TEA Party”. Ft. Knox command staff reports  The command staff informed me that the alterations were not approved at the command level and that the individual who circulated the [...]

This is one of those things that Is Not Supposed To Happen Here. A man taken from his house in the middle of the night with no warrant, and without benefit of attorney or communication with any outside contact, remanded to the custody of a mental facility for “evaluation” of indefinite duration. His crime: purchasing [...]

Lower Merion School District in Philadelphia is well funded.  Funded well enough in fact that they issued laptops to high-school students.  All well and good so far, eh? Blake J Robbins v. Lower Merion School District paints a picture straight out of 1984.  The Robbin’s child was disciplined by the school for “improper behavior”.  (What’s [...]

It is not industry — the US Government directly responsible!  In order to avoid spoilage I will just post the link … trust me, the proof is worth seeing. http://www.tinyurl.com/postagw  

The EIF (Entertainment Industry Foundation) has just annouced the “I Participate” initiative.  This is an effort by the Foundation to promote volunteerism in America by showing characters on many national TV shows volunteering for this and that. President Obama is noted for also promoting volunteerism.  And the report in the Chicago Tribune, EIF officials say [...]

Passing this one on from some friends at another forum … If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for [...]

Last night I attended the Darrell Issa townhall meeting. They announced attendance at over 3000, at least half of which was outside the auditorium … which was cooler than inside. There were loudspeakers so everyone outside could hear quite well. There was a prepared handout explaining his position on the health care issue, which was [...]

Obama, talking about obamacare: These are all fabrications that have been put out there in order to discourage people from meeting what I consider to be a core ethical and moral obligation. That is that we look out for one other, that I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper. And in the [...]

Last tuesday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that the healthcare protestors were not true grassroots, but “astroturf”. The implication, of course, is that they are artificial and manufactured protestors. The site Looking at the Left has a photo-essay on a visit by Speaker Pelosi to Denver. Here are just a couple of the pictures from that [...]
