Notable Quote – Burt Prelutsky

July 30, 2009

"On a more serious front, I sincerely hope that when the president goes in for his annual check-up, the doctors at Bethesda will do a brain scan. Surely something must be terribly wrong with a man who seems to be far more concerned with a Jew building a house in Israel than with Muslims building [ Read more ]

July 28, 2009

Another guest post by Andrew Hemingway (thanks, sir!) Members of Congress take a sworn oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic" and "bear true faith and allegiance to the same."

Local Democrats hold a picnic and a Tea Party breaks out…

July 28, 2009

Shabby sign seems so fitting… On Sunday, July 26, the Belknap County Democrats held their summer picnic. With a sparse turnout and little visible enthusiasm save a few mournful violinists, from the outside looking in it was a pretty lame affair. Hard to believe this is a cog in the vaunted Democratic machine that so [ Read more ]

Obama says you can keep your healthcare if you want…

July 27, 2009

It’s clear that he isn’t reading the bills either. Hopefully, Ed will read this one too as he seemingly is listening to Obama but not reading the actual wording of the bill(s) that the Democrats are manhandling through the process. From Fortune Magazine (who is reading the bills): 5 freedoms you’d lose in health care [ Read more ]

So, a Senior Congressman keeps lighting the match – making fun of the process?

July 27, 2009

Once again, my favorite sign from the 4/15 Manchester, NH TEA Party was: "$787 Billion and they didn’t even read the bill!" This IS one of the most bitter pills of the legislative process that galls most people associated with the TEA Party movement, and now, the average citizen is starting to slow burn.

Gentlemanly sidewalk debate Over the weekend there was a TEA Party micro-demonstration at the Belknap County Democrat picnic in Laconia, NH.

Just too funny….

July 26, 2009

I just saw this and it ties in well with my post about Obama’s falling poll numbers: But when I saw this, I nearly plotzed in laughter: Obama is a victim of his own gaffes where his deep socialist ideology is now coming to the fore and is insulting more and more Americans – just [ Read more ]

Healthcare – It’s about the power (not the $$)

July 26, 2009

That’s really what it IS all about – who gets to control how healthcare is dispersed among the citizenry.
