Do Not Be Alarmed!

Like you, I've been mainly focused on the Holiday's recently, but I have still been paying attention to current events...I just haven't felt motivated enough to write about it. So, if you have been following the news, I want to assure you that there is NO need to be alarmed. We are in good hands.

For example, after much wrangling, arm-twisting and minimal debate in the Senate, Harry Reed has finally managed to cobble together a fragile coalition in order to pass health care. But there are many reasons not to be alarmed: 1) No one has seen the actual bill yet. 2) All of the taxpayers in the U.S. will be paying an extra $10 million to the state of Nebraska in return for the Honorable Sen. Ben Nelson's vote. 3) That goes along with the $30 million, we will be sending to Louisiana for Sen. Mary Landrieu's vote. 4) Oh, and let's not forget that the White House and Democrat leadership threatened to shut down Offutt Air Force Base. "According to a Senate aide, the White House is now threatening to put Nebraska's Offutt Air Force Base in the BRAC list if Nelson doesn't fall in line. The base employes some 10,000 military and federal employees in Southeastern Nebraska." (The Weekly Standard, Michael Goldfarb, Dec. 15, 2009) 5) It is obviously more important to extort a vote out of Ben Nelson than it is to concern ourselves with national security and jobs.

I just want to reassure all of you that this is exactly the kind of business-as-usual that we as citizens want out of Washington DC. We should not be alarmed in the slightest in regards to their morals, ethics and the desire to do what's is best for the entire country. Our representatives can not be bought. They would never do anything outside of the rules of the Senate or beyond the purview of the Constitution. Do NOT be alarmed; we are in good hands. I can't think of a better group of people to determine my future and my children's future. It almost brings a tear to me eye...

If only that were the reason for my tears.

In Defense of the Stay-at-home-Mom

"Democratic pundit Hilary Rosen, a political consultant who advises the Democratic National Committee, said on CNN Wednesday night that Ann Romney 'never worked a day in her life.'" (Washington Post, 4/12/12, Michael Katz) Ann Romney who has raised five boys who are all college graduates, gainfully employed, married fathers, "has never worked a day in her life." Wow, where to begin. Hilary Rosen has visited the White House over 30 times and works for the DNC. She has close ties to the Democratic party but was not speaking for the DNC. To their credit, many Democrats have distanced themselves from her comments. But her attitude towards stay-at-home mothers is indicative of how many liberals view us. It is one more glaring indication of their hypocrisy and general hatred towards the principles of conservatism, especially in the realm of women. Let us remember how Sarah Palin was treated by liberal women for NOT being a stay-at-home mom. Just one small exampl...

The American Death Cult

Cults are known for some typical but disturbing behavior. Most obvious, is the brainwashing of their members. They also specialize in controllling the flow of information; keeping vital facts from followers. They viciously attack anyone who might question their dogma or dare to leave the cult. Thinking or thoughtful discussion with others and the search for unadulterated truth are the things cults fear the most. The extreme left in this country has embraced these tactics and become a cult of death: t heir god is hedonism,  militant feminists the high priestesses, Planned Parenthood the holy temples and killing the unborn their most sacred ritual.  They are adamantly opposed to any kind of open discussion about the pluses, minuses and causes that lead women to feel they must get an abortion. They work hand-in-hand with the mainstream media to spread their orthodoxy while painting anyone who disagrees with them as the women from the Handmaid's Tale. They are currently, illegally...

The Postal Service, Ballots and Trump

My older brother and I are thirteen months apart. His favorite pastime when we were young was pushing my buttons; I always reacted exactly the way he wanted me to. I cannot count the number of times my mom told me, "If you will stop reacting the way he wants you to, it won't be fun any more and he'll stop doing it." I never could make myself stop reacting and thankfully, we both grew up. Watching the Democrats react to Trump would be hysterically funny if it weren't so blooming dangerous to the future of our country. Trump plays the mainstream media/"moderates"/Democrats/Never-Trumpers like a Stradivarius and they always give him the satisfying hissy fit he wants. Case in point, the postal service and mail-in ballots. Let's talk about the Postal Service and then we'll talk about voting by mail. A) The Postal Service has been losing money like a sieve for decades. Because they are a government-run entity, not a private entity, they lose money with...
