President Obama’s Community Organizer Moment

August 16th, 2010 | 8 Comments

Over the last few days I have been reading a number of posts on the Ground Zero mosque and President Obama’s comments last Friday night when he expressed support for the Ground Zero mosque. By Saturday he realized his comments had ignited a firestorm of criticism and he immediately began to back pedal from his words. For the most part I refrained from writing on this topic until I sat back and pondered the President’s motives. I thought how could he be so careless with his words knowing that this issue has sparked deep-seated emotions in many Americans? I mean is he that determined to reserve a seat in history with the rest of America’s on term Presidents? As I read blog after blog I couldn’t wrap my brain around why he took this … Read entire article »

ACORN’s Bertha Lewis in her own words

April 23rd, 2010 | 2 Comments

I found this on YouTube and let me tell you after watching it I came to the conclusion that if you had any doubts about which side of the political ideological fence ACORN is standing, this should clear things up. This is a video clip of Bertha Lewis, CEO of ACORN, speaking at the winter conference of the young democratic socialists on March 25, 2010. First off, I find it quite disturbing that people like this actually live in a Republic that was founded on the principles of liberty and freedom. I respect their right to spew their garbage, but let’s be fair and call it like it is; ACORN is a radical organization with extreme views. The MSM, with little to no evidence, would have all of us believe … Read entire article »

ACORN Closed for Business…Well Not Really

February 23rd, 2010 | 2 Comments

Say it isn’t so; ACORN is going out of business due to a sharp decline in funds. Well according to a report by Politico that is exactly what’s happening. Politico reported that ACORN is dissolving its national structure with state and local chapters cutting ties with the unfunded national group. The embattled organization had members that were the focus of several state investigations over allegations of voter fraud. Additionally undercover videos produced by James O’ Keefe and college student Hannah Giles in July and August of 2009 exposed ACORN members giving advice on how to set up a brothel with underage girls. This led to public outrage and a freezing of federal funding to the organization. It also removed ACORN from the census process. So I guess honesty prevailed and this … Read entire article »

ENEMIES OF THE STATIST

December 6th, 2009 | 4 Comments

Yesterday I went to my local book store and actually found some excellent bargains. One of the books I purchased was about the Founding Fathers and how they shaped the America we once knew. After reading it, the main thing that caught my attention is just how anti-statist they were. I mean they existed for the longest period self governing their society. It was really a first in modern times. The colonials lived and prospered under an economic “laissez-faire” philosophy. This philosophy was based off of the concept of minimal government interference in economic matters. With loosely assembled governmental entities, the colonials could sell, trade, and barter with little or no taxes and as they saw fit to advance the economic machine of the day. It was a true free market system. Free from governmental regulations, taxes, and … Read entire article »
