What’s missing in 2010 elections: humility.

As I sit down to pen this piece I stew about whether or not our nation will be able to survive the latest charge by neomarxist in an effort to not just derail, but gut any semblance of our past. Are we the generation which will allow freedom and liberty to go by the wayside? If so, [...]

 

Warning for November 2010

Ive had it folks. Ive had it up to here (hand gesture passed head).
We need to win this fall in the worst possible way. Not because of pure partisanship, but it is the only thing that will save this nation from falling into a dark state of socialism, if not out right communism.
On the surface [...]

 

CBS David Martin reports on wounded veteran, incredible story.


Watch CBS News Videos Online

I ran across this on the internet today and had to post this. It is an incredible story of a wounded veteran who lost all four limbs in Iraq, but who is thriving. It is an incredibly inspiring must see story.

 

WSJ: Obama immigration plan includes forced IDs for ALL workers.

Just when one believes things cannot get worse, the Obama administration decides to one up its self.
According to the Wallstreet Journal, all workers will be required to carry a biometeric national identification card.
Under the potentially controversial plan still taking shape in the Senate, all legal U.S. workers, including citizens and immigrants, would be issued an [...]

 

So wait. Senator Reid can call President Bush a loser, but…

One of the more interesting (and to be frank irrelevant to policy discussion) topics which popped up over the weekend was a fund raising power point display which skewered Speaker Pelosi, President Obama and Majority Leader Harry Reid.
In the power point presentation, leaked to the Politico, made fun of the three by creating characters of [...]

 

Why earmarks hurt now more than ever.

On the heals of Democrats screaming over a move Senator Bunning of Kentucky (R) made, apparently blocking extra money being spent on extending unemployment benefits, I believe its important to make a couple of points.
From my understanding on the issue, Bunning is asking for Senator Reid of Nevada (D) to find the 15 billion or [...]

 

Time for R-2 to fire up those converters?

Well, if any of my readers are out there I will need to ask for forgiveness. Its been a rough and tumble year for me and this blog has taken a beating because of it.
With 2010 elections taking shape I have fielded several emails asking me why, outside of twitter, have I parted from the [...]

 

Warning RE: switching toon to alliance.

Some of you out there know that my World of Warcraft character (enhancement shaman) was a cow known as Tauren.
I recently took advantage of Blizzard’s factional change option and switched to Alliance.
The transition was fairly smooth.
What I dont like, however, was that I lost quite a number of achievements related to the Argent tournament faction [...]

 

“Jack Webb Schools Barack Obama”

I couldnt help but repost this after seeing it on National Review Online. There are a lot of good quotes in in a monologue scene out of Dragnet regarding our nation. I cant help but wonder how many people dont know how good we have it and are willing to trade our freedom and liberty for a bureaucrat’s reassurance of security.

 

Forty Years later, Reagan’s warning on socialized medicine still rings true

Many times it helps when we look to history when trying to understand the present. This can be applied to the current “health insurance reform” debate.

Democrats and socialist then were trying to pass much of what is being attempted now, but in a more mild form.

The principles and dangers which Reagan espouses in the speech still ring true.

The ultimate question is not how to help reach people who do not have health insurance. It is a question of freedom and whether or not the government can or cannot control our lives.

People know this. The writers of the bill know this.

To that extent the larger question which remains to be seen is whether or not people, without a leader, can withstand whither coordinated counter attacks by Democrats and their allies. Similarly, what how far will the Obama administration and its counter parts in the Senate and House of representatives go to consecrate the law into stone.

Of course, the glimmer of hope is that people engaging themselves in the process and reminding there representatives of their wishes to hold on to freedom. This echo of Reagan’s call for civil involvement during the debate then rings true now.
