Respect Lost

I missed all the action. The ironic thing is that I only had one kid at home at the time, and it all happened within blocks of my house! Too bad I don’t have any pictures to go along with this post. Oh well. By the time I found out the happenings of the day, [...]
MONEYBOMB!

As I’m sure you know, U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy died last year and there is now a special election being held in Massachusetts to replace him. Although Massachusetts is a BIG BLUE state (John Kerry is the other senator who hails from there), there is a realistic possibility that it will elect Republican Scott Brown [...]

WASHINGTON, D.C. Here are some pictures I took at the tea party in D.C. Ma’am, I have to agree… And my personal favorite… LET’S HOPE FOR RECOVERY! PHOENIX, ARIZONA Lindsey kindly provided these pictures from a tea party in Phoenix.
Celebrate Freedom By Defending Freedom

I am looking forward to a long INDEPENDENCE DAY weekend in our great Nation’s capital. I probably won’t have a chance to update the ‘ol blog during this time, but I am going to try my darnedest to make it to another Tea Party, this time in Washington, D.C. What better way to celebrate our [...]
With Morality Comes Hyprocrisy

Uncomfortable topic though it is, my mind keeps coming back to the recent sad and disturbing confessions to extramarital affairs by Senator John Ensign (NV) and Governor Mark Sanford (SC), both Republicans. Much has been made of the serious damage to the Party these two rising stars have inflicted, but that is actually not what [...]
Nice Euphemism, AP…

From the AP: “General Motors…will file for bankruptcy protection on Monday in a deal that will give taxpayers a 60 percent ownership stake and expand the government’s reach into big business.” Nice euphemism. I think they mean…in a deal that will give the federal government (aka the Obama Administration) a 60 percent ownership stake…. The [...]
Obama Adds Insult to Injury…Snubs Nevada Governor

President Obama has injured Las Vegas, there’s no doubt about it. Reports the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority: “…over 400 conventions and business meetings scheduled to take place in Las Vegas recently have canceled. These canceled events translate into 111,800 guest in Las Vegas and over 250,000 “room-nights.” The canceled conventions and meetins [...]
This Is Why I Don’t Watch CNN

So I asked the question in my previous Tea Party post, “I wonder how these tea parties will be covered in the news?” Well, lets take a look… [Youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G3fvNhdoc0&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Face.mu.nu%2F&feature=player_embedded] Ace poses some fitting questions: “Is she there as a representative of CNN or of the Obama Administration? And is there a meaningful distinction between the [...]
A Tea Party To Remember

In the car, on the way to our local Tea Party, my kindergartner received a lesson in civics and our nation’s history. It was a follow up conversation on the one we had on Inauguration Day, about what it means to respect the office of president. Our country has always valued differing opinions and viewpoints, [...]
