What’s Your Problem with Free Recreational Sex?
As the Democrats bid a tearful farewell to using abortion as a winning campaign issue, they need to manufacture a replacement. So they have come up with contraceptives and how those mean Republicans want to restrict a women’s access to them. It’s a lie and they know it, but hey, elections are at stake. Some say it began with George Stephanopoulos’ bizarre questioning of Mitt Romney on a state’s right to ban contraceptives during one of the presidential debates. Some say it goes back further to a Virginia Senate race between Tim Kaine and George Allen. The problem for Democrats is that they used to run on an abortion platform and public opinion gave them a ten point edge on that subject. The polls have shifted and now it is a … Read entire article »

Obituary for the most interesting man in the world!
Not sure about Dos Equis but then it doesn’t really matter! From the New York Times, the obituary of John Fairfax: “… At 9, he settled a dispute with a pistol. At 13, he lit out for the Amazon jungle. At 20, he attempted suicide-by-jaguar. Afterward he was apprenticed to a pirate. To please his mother, who did not take kindly to his being a pirate, he briefly managed a mink farm, one of the few truly dull entries on his otherwise crackling résumé, which lately included a career as a professional gambler…” (Full obituary at the New York Times here) Follow @Halthouse1// Related articles John Fairfax: an ocean-defying wild man with an obituary to die for (onthewaterfrontblog.wordpress.com) Authored By Michael Haltman The Political Commentator Authored By … Read entire article »

Outrageous Fortune
To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether ’tis Nobler in the mind to suffer The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune, Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles, And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep … Periodically, I get so busy working, and trying to stay on top of what I need to do to fend for my family, that I forget that Obama and the American Left have declared war on me. I have to be reminded from time to time by a mortar round to my front door in the form of, say, his new budget and tax policy. These are like delayed explosives. They don’t explode right away; they quietly tick away until “taking effect” in say 2013 or 2015. … Read entire article »

Slip of the Tongue-Depends on Whose Tongue Slips
Liberal media outlets Politico and the Washington Post [and I'm sure soon the rest of the main stream media] are talking about the slip of the tongue Santorum spokesman Alice Stewart made on Mondy February 20, before Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC [as a side note, what kind of judgement does that show about the Santorum campaign for him and his representatives to appear on any MSNBC program?]The misspoken quote from Politico: “There is a type of theological secularism when it comes to the global warmists in this country. That’s what he was referring to. He was referring to the president’s policies in terms of the radical Islamic policies the president has,” Stewart said on “Andrea Mitchell Reports.” “She had repeatedly said during that same interview ‘radical environmental policies’ and she said she slipped when … Read entire article »

The Regulated Society
Over the past years, even under more benevolent administrations, we have seen increases in regulations tampering with ever growing areas of our lives. We have just recently felt the heat and aggravation as they have been coming at an ever increasing rate in recent years. We have more to blame for this than a renegade president and his henchmen. We have found ourselves in a situation where there is a lawyer behind every business conversation, from employment interview to water cooler. Our food is relentlessly controlled, tested and “approved”. Our cars are in the process of becoming miniscule, underperforming death traps – and that is just the tip of the iceberg. What brought us to this enslaved condition? Why are we permitting this continue? The fact is, at this point we have … Read entire article »

Why Weren’t the 2010 Elections a Game Changer?
There are rumors that after Congress spent an additional 100 billion dollars (they don’t have), to extend the payroll tax cut thru the end of the year, they don’t plan to take any other major Congressional actions. We’ll see. Meanwhile, this is a good time to take stock of where our country is headed. Some of our grassroots citizens are deeply disappointed that the newly elected members of Congress failed to change the status quo in Washington. Perhaps some were overly optimistic regarding what could actually be accomplished. Winning a net gain of 7 seats in the US Senate took the Democrats from a filibuster-proof majority of 60 to 53. They still hold the majority in the Senate, however, and the minority has little … Read entire article »

Santorum’s ‘My Way’ encores best Obama’s original ‘Happy Days are Here Again’
Republicans say “x”; the media reports they meant “y”; and the best way to be sued for defamation is to accurately quote a Democrat President Barack Obama has faced the nation the past three years declaring his debt-exploding policies to be Biblically-based, in the national interest and necessary to remedy the economic crisis he inherited from his GOP predecessor. When addressing the persistence of continuing economic ills in the fourth year of his presidency he asserts that Republicans impede solutions to the nations ills because they put party politics above what’s best for the country or that he didn’t realize just how bad the crisis was. Finally, when addressing follow up questions from the media reminding him of his original contradictory claims and suggesting that he is attributing nefarious non-Christian motives … Read entire article »

I went to a union pep fest and a townhall meeting broke out
When John Pederson, Steve Gottwalt and King Banaian scheduled Friday night’s town hall meeting at St. Cloud’s Public Library, they had no way of knowing that public employee unions were planning on disrupting it. Things didn’t get ugly immediately but it didn’t take long before things got out of control. The first question of the night was directed at Dr. Banaian, the economist, not Rep. Banaian, the Minnesota House member. Here’s the statement and question: “Study after study has shown that right-to-work lowers wages for all workers. Is this true?” Banaian said that there are many studies on the subject but no conclusive evidence in either direction, in the minds of labor economists. After that, the meeting went downhill fast. When Rep. Gottwalt attempted to respond to a different question posed by … Read entire article »
