Divine Providence and the U.S.A.

The last sentence of The Declaration of Independence reads, "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor." — John Hancock

On to November 2

You may have noticed that I added a little countdown clock in Pinar del Rio, our left navigation bar. It's counting down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds left until election day on November 2. It's there as a subtle reminder of what we have at stake in a little over 68 days: nothing less [...]

A lesson in freedom

Happy Independence Day; may God bless America, and may our freedom endure.

About working for the state

There is a basic fact of socialism that seems to be beyond the understanding of the average hope-filled, palms outstretched, delusional Obama loving kool-aide drinker.
The average annual salary for federal employees is over $71,260, while the average annual salary of privately employed Americans  is $46,326 depending on which study you read.  When you factor in benefits, the average federal employee is [...]

Al Gore: A cowardly flim-flan man?

In fact, he is a typical lefty wuss.  A pampered elite who has made a fortune spreading universal alarm about global warning, which as many of us knew all along is a false theory based on junk science. Now that the house that Al built is about to crumble, where is Mr. Global Warming?
Hiding out [...]

Explaining Away Mass Murder

Charles Krauthammer shreds the media's attempt to whitewash the role of Nidal Hasan's Islamic faith in the Fort Hood massacre.
From Real Clear Politics:
Explaining Away Mass Murder
By Charles Krauthammer
WASHINGTON -- What a surprise -- that someone who shouts "Allahu Akbar" (the "God is great" jihadist battle cry) as he is shooting up a room of American soldiers might [...]

Tell them to vote no on the healthcare bill

This could be the most important phone call, email, or fax that you have ever sent. Do not let this vote take place without your input. Tell your representative to vote no on the healthcare Bill.  To make it easy for us, here is a model letter to use,, courtesy of our friend Hugo Byrne:
November 4. 2009

Calculator abuse or inconvenient truth?

Cost of the stimulus according to ABC's Jake Tapper:
The White House argues that the actual job number is actually larger than 640,000 -- closer to 1 million jobs when one factors in stimulus jobs added in October and, more importantly, jobs created indirectly, such as "the waitress who's still on the job," Vice President Biden [...]

Gitmo terrorists are refugees?

Gitmo terrorists are now Guantanamo refugees. How's that for change? As Humberto would say, unreal.
From Human Events:
REPORTER QUESTION: Talk to us a little bit about response and talks and any commitments that you may have gotten from our European and other friends in the international community about taking in Guantanamo detainees as the camp in [...]

Change through indoctrination

Thanks to the Drudge Report, I just came across this video of school children learning to sing the praise of Obama:

Lyrics
========
Song 1:
Mm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!

Obama is inept, narcissistic, and dangerous

Those are a few of the adjectives that come to mind in describing the current leader of what has been the world's number one super-power.  It is my opinion that in today's U.N. speech, Obama put Israel on the chopping block and gave Americans notice that he will throw us all under the bus to further [...]

Why did newspapers ignore the Acorn story?

Here's one explanation, from Austin Statesman Editor Fred Zipp.  It's all about dissing Fox News, and note two sources he quotes: 
"ACORN is a national group dedicated to community organizing. According to its website."
"Wikipedia has a succinct description of the group"
And they wonder why people seek out alternative news sources.

Only the news that’s fit to print…

And that makes it past the Obama censor machine:
ABC's Moran removes tweet with Obama swipe at Kanye
ABC News reporter Terry Moran caused quite a commotion tonight on Twitter after writing the following: "Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a "jackass" for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential."
Although it wasn't long [...]

Power to the people!

While I often disagree with her, Laura Ingraham is on the right side of the debate for America's future. Remembering the ground swell of voter anger that led to a 54-seat Republican sweep back in '94, her thoughts on where we stand now, and on a winning strategy for 2010:
Ten in '10: Winning Washington by [...]

Wallet alert

Congress to America: Shut up and hand over your cash.
In case you missed it because it was released late Friday, House Democrats announced that they will seek a massive $540 billion tax increase to help pay for Obama's healtcare plan.
Despite a still-lagging U.S. economy and rising unemployment rate, House Democrats announced late yesterday that they will [...]

“We The People” – Updated#2

Are determined to take back our country. The government works for us, not the other way around. According to American Spectator and Michelle Malkin, capital police estimate the size of the crowed at 1.2 million, ABC says 2 million. Inspiring.

Update:  How many were there?  Enough to rattle some nerves.
Update #2:

Letter format and suggestion to defend the constitution

In case you've been putting off sending those letters to the White House and your elected representatives in defense of the Constitution, my fellow Californian, the esteemed Hugo Byrne makes it easy for us.
Dear friends:
Pertaining your opposition to the power grab by Washington and the progressive reduction of our God given rights, this is a letter format you [...]

Message to Obama: Hell no, keep your hands off our children

Presenting the teachers classroom activity guide for their students, PreK-6 for Obama's address to students across America. You can read the Department of Education guide here.

The classroom, and we're talking preschool through 6th grade, is no place for politics, period. Young American children do not need to be talked to by any elected representative, and that includes the [...]
