Bookworm has a fantastic post about the redefining the word racist and her definition of a conservative racist.  Some excepts: I’m a racist because I believe that blacks are fully capable human beings who are perpetually demeaned by the liberal theory holding that blacks cannot function without handouts from condescending, rich white people. I’m a… Continue reading

 Via Instapundit, a link to Big Government with a video that shows Rep. Phil Dare (D-IL) talking about the fact that he doesn’t worry about the Constitution.  Link here.  It seems to me that politicians are so used to lying that the oaths that they took upon being sworn into office are meaningless.  It used… Continue reading

Dr. Helen (the InstaWife) has an article today about a woman in Virginia who basically blames porn for her husband leaving her.   My thoughts are this, and I have to admit that they are much different than they might have been even six months ago–some of them are thoughts I’ve always had.  I think that… Continue reading

No wonder the healthcare bill passed if this is an example of our Representatives at work.  Via Mr. B. at In the Middle of the Right, a youtube video of Hank Johnson, the man who defeated Cynthia “Do you know who I am” McKinney in the 4th district race in 2006 in Georgia.  A friend… Continue reading

I’ve lived pretty much all over the place (on the east side of the Mississippi) during my adult years.  This has been both a blessing and a curse.  I’ve been fortunate to have a few close friends with whom I keep in touch from each place I’ve touched ground.  This is the blessing.  I’ve also… Continue reading

I was blithely checking my email this morning and this popped up on the front page.  Seems some of the reconciliation portions won’t fly and have to go back to the House for a vote, gumming up the works and giving some GREAT ammo in the fall elections to opponents of the present Senators.  Let’s… Continue reading

Despite the fact that the Window Wars have begun again (see Mr. B. with his link), that the Republicans are refusing to waive the ‘no meetings in the Senate after 2:00 pm rule‘, and that Attorneys General in 14 states are filing to block the health care reform monster, and two states have already passed… Continue reading

Watched a bunch of the health care farce on Fox last night (thank goodness for Hannity because the folks at CNN were really on a pompous roll last night).  Love Boener’s speech and thought it was spot on.  It’s going to be an interesting rest of the year since the congresscritters will be coming home… Continue reading

My mom is in the hospital and had a really bad reaction to the painkillers so I’m standing watch. I have been listening to the news and heard that the amendments are up for public review on health care. Obama cancelled his trip so he could stay in town and intimidate those undecided Blue Dogs.… Continue reading
