    Obama: Mandatory Service for All?

    Could these be things to anticipate once the Obama administration gets settled in? 1. The Obama Youth 2. Mandatory community service for all 3. Mandatory three or four months of "basic training" type of civil service duty. 4. A National Security Organization equal to the military These...

    A new day In America And I am Proud.

    Personally, I've always thought McCain was and is a jerk. The sacrifices he's made for his country are to be commended, and his military service was honorable. However, he's been a mediocre senator all these years and he was a lousy presidential candidate - that's why he lost, trying to be...

    A new day In America And I am Proud.

    Regardless of the statistics and analyses of scholars, public opinion polls, etc. I have a hunch that one thing the most successful presidents have had in common is the ability to surround themselves with very good advisors and administrators. We don't yet know who BHO will have in his cabinet...

    Industrys failing

    You must be referring to one of the Big 3 plants - Toyota, Nissan, Honda are not like that at all. I waited to unload last year along with about 7 or 8 other drivers at a Ford plant for almost 45 min because the UAW member responsible for processing us in was taking a nap. We were told by one of...

    A new day In America And I am Proud.

    When you mention the ties of "Cheneys business over in Iraq or Georges oil ties" I assume you refer to George Soros, the godfather of today's liberal movement and Barack Hussein Obama's sugar daddy. Perhaps you should check out Soros' investment portfolio - 46% of it is placed in oil and gas...

    A new day In America And I am Proud.

    Interesting stuff - but seeing LBJ ranked ahead of Reagan leaves me a bit skeptical of the validity in some of these rankings which are of course, subjective. Having been a politically active adult during both of these presidencies, I just don't see how that positioning is justified. However...

    Change

    Well, there you have it - that article sums it up perfectly. We should all realize that (1) to say he's going to cut taxes for 95% of income earners is an outright lie, and no one in the mainstream media challenges him on it. (2) Now that he's confident of victory, he begins to lower the...

    Barstool Economics

    Some of you may have already seen this e-mail going around, but I think the illustration of our taxation process is one of the best I've ever seen. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it...

    Obama on the Constitution

    Released on the Drudge Report this morning: This is a YouTube copy of an interview given on a Chicago radio station by then State Senator Barack Hussein Obama in 2001. It removes all doubt regarding his attitudes toward the US Constitution and REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH. While listening to this...

    Why don't people get it?

    If he gave the tip to the homeless guy - great! I'll take him at his word. Regarding Obama's "redistribution of wealth" concept, no one really knows what it is because Obama won't be specific other than to say he's going to reduce taxes for 95% of wage earners in America. Anyone that's done the...

    alaska newspaper ensorses.........

    That same newspaper also endorsed John Kerry on 2004. Could it be they're just another liberal-leaning newspaper that has a history of endorsing liberal candidates?

    palingoing rogue??

    Palin should have "gone rogue" on Day 1. McCain's advisers are woefully inept and have run one of the worst campaigns in modern history. McCain himself is an even weaker candidate than was Bob Dole, but has still managed to stay within single digits of BHO in the polls. If he had a decent team...

    Biden Does It Again

    There's a lot of administrative and non-combat support jobs in the military that could be filled with this type of mandatory service. If these pampered, wasted high school graduates or dropouts were forced into this type of service it would certainly give them some discipline and direction that...

    Biden Does It Again

    Here's a quote from Obama made during a speech in 2007 to an extremely liberal group called "Caucus for Priorities". I've posted this before, but I think it's appropriate to revisit this in context of the subject matter of this thread: "As president, I will end misguided defense policies and...

    Biden Does It Again

    "Definitely worth the read: Political Radar: Biden to Supporters: "Gird Your Loins", For the Next President "It's Like Cleaning Augean Stables" A good article - and I found the comments interesting also. This is an ABC News site, and one would think the readers would be at least 50% moderate...

    Shoulder injury

    I had "frozen shoulder" about four years ago, and it was nothing to joke about. The symptoms were much the same as yours sound like, and the doctor said if I had let it go much longer it would have required surgery. Instead I got off with a cortizone shot and a couple months of physical therapy...

    Biden Does It Again

    Quoting from Joe Biden speaking Sunday to a group of Seattle fundraisers: "Mark my words, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of...

    Colin Powell Endorses......

    In spite of the advantages given his career by Republicans, Powell has always been liberal in his politics; he has always been in favor of abortion and he has always been very supportive of Affirmative Action. His state dept. was always at odds with the Republican congress and the Bush...

    William Ayers - Terrorist

    Examination of his record is by no means "smear tactics". On the other hand, consider John Lewis's comments about McCain and Palin which falsely declare similarities between their campaign and that of George Wallace; there's a good example of smear tactics.

    William Ayers - Terrorist

    At the risk of being redundant, I'll try to give my reasoning why I and others think Barack Hussein Obama can not help the country. Since his resume is a blank page - never had a real job in his life; no executive experience which has required making decisions that have significant consequences...
