Big Government : Spare Us the Lecture, Mr. President

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 15:32:55 +0000

I've sent several emails to FNC, Sean Hannity and other shows since the 2010 primaries telling them that I will switch channels when Rove is on and now I do exactly that.

The FN Dish : Pioneer Woman's New Home on the Range

The specific reasons don't make any sense when compared to the intensity of those who dislike PW. How do they go from not liking PW's book to a daily hate filled rant? Why not just give the book away and move on? Jealousy is a powerful emotion that can drive behavior. What word would you use to describe the bizarre behavior exhibited here?

I live in Texas and "real" ranch women around here go to New York several times a year to shop. Dallas? Not even close. PW doesn't look rich at all to me and even if she does look rich to you, what is your problem with that?

Since I only recently began reading the PW blog, I decided take a look at "the rest of the story"as you put it. On one site I find a story of a blogger who drove to the ranch without checking a map first. Upon arriving she discovered she could have taken a more direct route and decided to hold this against PW for the rest of her life. Having made this the defining event of her life she is now obsessed with PW to the point of creepiness. Seriously? The "former" sheeple attended a book signing and was so shocked to find lots of other people also go to book signings that she left early and blogged about her disappointment. Not a lot to go on so far.

Big Government : God Bless Our Military? Not At The Houston National Cemetery.

If they are not taking calls then they are not doing the work WE pay them to do. She should not be allowed to make a policy like this and then ignore public opinions about her policy.

Who's surprised by this? She is an appointee and would not have made the decision unless she thought it would be backed up by her boss.

If there were no "incident" then why the need for a court order? Thing were going along just fine for years, so why would the volunteers make up a complaint? Obama is very quick to place blame on everyone else instead of taking responsibility for what happens on his watch. He sets the policy and tone of his administration. The director works for him and would not have made these demands unless she thought is was his policy.

This story literally brings tears to my eyes. As my father who is buried at Houston National Cemetery would say "what is this world coming to?" Many of our family friends have used that chapel for their services. My father and two of my grandparents are buried at there. You can bet we prayed there and will pray there again even under threat of arrest!

This has to be in your top 10 best Cowboy Logic!

Big Government : Activist Who Made Death Threat to Tea Party Leader Committed for a Psychiatric Evaluation

A disability does not have to be combat related to qualify you for disabled veteran status and many disabled veterans have never been in combat. The condition needs only to have been diagnosed while on active duty. So don't automatically assume a disabled veteran was disabled in combat.

Big Government : Grass Roots Starting to Influence State and Local Politics

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 19:51:14 +0000

http://www.newser.com/story/107059/texas-jewish-h... It was inappropriate comments about Joe Straus' Jewish faith from Texas Republican leaders like John Cook that led to claims of anti semitism. Even though I am a conservative and a Christian, you lost me on this one when I heard this statement. There is no place for this type of talk on our side either.

Big Government : Email Reveals ABC News Walked Back 'Bigs' Publisher Participation in Election Night Coverage

Just emailed ABC. Told them that I was planning to watch and now will not because not only did they cancel Breitbart, they lied about it!

Big Journalism : Statement Regarding CNN

Mon, 4 Oct 2010 19:30:58 +0000

The explanation does sound plausible and CNN hasn't been known for getting the story right in the past. Someone with your profile is going to be a target for this stuff. You need to be more clear about what you approve and disapprove of in the future. That still won't keep the media from overhyping this stuff and even ignoring the facts to go after you.

If that's a million, then 8/28 must have been at least 2 million.

Big Government : The Jewish Holidays, Personal Responsibility, and Progressivism

Mon, 6 Sep 2010 18:30:54 +0000

Thanks so much for this article. I have often wondered why Jewish people are so progressive and liberal and if it is part of their religious teachings. This gives more insight into this issue than I have seen anywhere else.

Big Government : The Stunning Decline of Barack Obama

Sat, 14 Aug 2010 19:08:58 +0000

Republicans are blaming Democrats? Bwaahahaha...that's so funny because Republican leadership isn't out there talking about the Obama agenda enough to even register a negative on the scale. You could go with the "Democrats haven't done a good enough job selling the agenda." That can't be it because they and their compliant media hacks have been nonstop selling this stuff and it hasn't worked. Hmmm, that leaves us with one conclusion. The American people aren't buying what the Dems are selling! Could be the jobs that fail to appear or the "Summer of recovery" that wasn't. Whatever. The current policies aren't working and we were told they would work. Simple.

Big Government : How a Creationist Wins Love From the L.A. Times: Trash Breitbart

This gives Breitbart more cred, not less. These attacks don't work.

Big Government : Barbara Boxer: Serving in Uniform Just Like Being a Politician

Sat, 31 Jul 2010 00:39:41 +0000

Why did she bring up her own experiences at all if not to compare them? If she really wanted to reach out to veterans, then talking about herself is not the best way. It's arrogant, self centered view of a typical lib that says "I know what you're going through" when she has no clue.

Big Government : Barbara Boxer: Serving in Uniform Just Like Being a Politician

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:29:50 +0000

Read it again. After talking down to them as if they are children she then compares her experiences as a member of the privileged political class to being wounded in combat. Not even close.

More importantly, she's talking down to veterans as if they are children and need to be exposed to "their own kind" as Shirley Sherrod would say.
