    Independant Expeditor

    If it was going to a decent area, I'd have taken it. But if you're talking about doing a return deadhead of 750 miles - no way.

    Insurance Companies

    They are probably working through their lobbyists behind the scenes at this point with friendly Senators and Congressmen. Once it becomes evident that the "single payer" concept is dead - and it's pretty close to that now - they will be more apt to make their positions known. However, we can...

    1.4 million companies could go under

    Heard this article on Neal Boortz yesterday: Neal Boortz : Just A Little Company Get-Together - Townhall.com He makes some really good points about the effects of tax policies and their effects on small businesses.

    A doctor responds to Obama's NYT op-ed

    Considering the submission standards for blogs and articles at American Thinker (see link below), I'm inclined to believe the article and its author are the real deal. I'm sure anyone who is skeptical of its authenticity could submit a question to AT expressing their doubts about the author...

    Rules For Radicals Backfiring??

    Maybe the operatives of the political right should take Alinsky's rules one step further by isolating and demonizing Rahm Emanuel and/or David Axelrod the same way the Democrats did Karl Rove. Axelrod makes an especially appealing target considering his establishment of [email protected] and...

    I'd like to see the unemployment rate for heads of households.

    Another Voice Of Reason Is Silenced

    "Consulted with anyone"?? Where did that come from? At any rate, this site is a private enterprise where membership is required to participate. The administrators make the rules and enforce them - they don't have to show us anything. If we don't like the rules we can take our ball and go play in...

    Another Voice Of Reason Is Silenced

    Considering all the verbal wailing, gnashing of teeth and rending of garments over the expulsion the Dougster perhaps his aggreived fan club should consider the following: their sympathy is misplaced because apparently he didn't hold their virtual friendship or membership in this website in the...

    Cash for Clunkers.. hurts the little guy..

    Here are a couple of articles explaining the program: Re: Regarding cash for clunkers - car parts WILL be salvaged Belmont Club Cash for clunkers Even with a car's engine frozen, there are plenty of parts that can be harvested and re-used.

    Cash for Clunkers.. hurts the little guy..

    As I mentioned in an earlier post, it's my understanding these "clunkers" can be parted out. Their engines are rendered unusable and then they can be picked up by a salvage company to have the parts removed. This info comes from a dealership in TN that I'm very familiar with. Might be worth a...

    Oooops...Keep Your Clunker...

    You're right - it's Big Brother no matter how you slice it. Can you imagine the outcry if the mainstream media heard of this kind of intrusivness coming from the Bush administration? And to think people complained about the Patriot Act.

    Oooops...Keep Your Clunker...

    I believe the site Beck is talking about is the one that DEALERS use to process their clunker trades for rebates. That's not the message you'll get when you first go to the site made for general public access, or for www.fueleconomy.gov where you can determine if your clunker qualifies for the deal.

    If You Don't Know Michelle Malkin....

    One last point about Ron Paul, and I'm done with this dead horse. Question: how many Republican primaries or caucuses did he win? If memory serves me correctly, I believe it was NONE. How many did he come close to winning? Once again, I believe it was NONE. The following is a summary of GOP...

    Oooops...Keep Your Clunker...

    There is a provision for light trucks/work trucks - just go to www.cars.gov for details. Fact is, this whole deal is a big mess. Car dealers all over the country started taking deals on Cash for Clunkers ahead of the July 24 launch date but after the July 1 announcement. On or about July 25...

    If You Don't Know Michelle Malkin....

    I suppose I could take the time and effort to parse these multi-chaptered screeds of yours and insert cutsy, smart-a**ed comments along with insults to your intelligence and other personal remarks that lower the level of debate and exchange of ideas in this venue; but that would probably be...

    If You Don't Know Michelle Malkin....

    The content in the LINK certainly puts things in perspective. Too bad about Ron Paul - he had some good positions in his campaign regarding limited government, but some of his other ideas so far around the bend that he just wasn't mainstream enough to be electable. The small groups of highly...

    Very enjoyable watching Matt Laurer get totally outclassed. Here's another bit of wisdom from Ms. Malkin: Michelle Malkin And a related article from Thomas Sowell: Thomas Sowell The inexperience and radical liberalism of the Boy President who only spent about 150 days in the Senate and has...

    USA.. where the S is for Sharia

    Once again "hate" is defined as a viewpoint not in agreement with a liberal position. Forget about the possibility that this viewpoint might show compassion for the student and the teacher that got fired. I'll bet the liberal's viewpoint would be significantly different if it had been his son...

    USA.. where the S is for Sharia

    This Arab Festival is a very public event and has been going on for fourteen years. Arab Detroit - News The particular display that was approached by the Acts 17 group seemed to invite questions, declaring that they had answers. I just don't see the insidious behaviour on the part of the...

    Racial Preferences in barrys healthcare bill

    Check out pp. 425-430. There you will find the provisions for MANDATORY COUNSELING FOR SENIOR CITIZENS, to be administered at least every five years and perhaps more often depending on the individual's circumstances. One can imagine the indoctrination that would take place during these sessions...
