I am not anti-union. I am for local autonomy and free political choice. Please understand my motivation for this post.
The Service Employees International Union has decided to spend 150 million dollars in this fall’s election. That is their right and I don’t question it. The problem is that they apparently don’t have 150 million dollars. […]

Beating Plowshares into Swords: Where does Obama’s foreign policy take us?
That’s the title of an article by Kory Bardash and Abraham Katsman in today’s Jerusalem Post. The article basically is stating that Obama is “refusing to hold the Palestinian leadership’s feet to the fire,” but yet he “already has Israeli concessions all mapped out.”
The authors […]

…At least we stopped paying for this year. Cost of Government day came this week. “Cost of Government Day (COGD) is the date of the calendar year on which the average American worker has earned enough gross income to pay off his or her share of spending and regulatory burdens imposed by government on the […]

With all of the craziness going on this year and all the talk both for and against Obama, one thing has become clear in this election. It’s not about John McCain.
McCain’s best shot at winning the presidential election may actually rest on his ability to stay out of the limelight.
It is immediately clear to anyone […]

A Michigan man found some passages in some Bible translations “emotionally distressing because they did not endorse homosexually. Once upon a time Americans believed the cure for speech they didn’t like was more speech that they did like. This is why I am skeptical of the expansion of hate crimes laws. They can be used […]

Tuesday’s L.A. Times has an article by Peter Nicholas titled: “Adding up the cost of Obama’s agenda.”
Here’s a quote from the article:
Among other proposals during the course of the campaign, Obama has said he would strengthen the nation’s bridges and dams ($6 billion a year), help make men better fathers ($50 million a year) and […]

In case you missed it, I must inform you that news has broken that we don’t have an immigration problem. We have a language problem. Senator Barack Obama said yesterday that “instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English,” Americans “need to make sure your child can speak Spanish”. 83% of Americans don’t quite […]

The Liberal controlled Congress is at 9% approval, but the NRA is at 56% approval. No wonder we will be more likely to see Senator Obama with a rifle than Harry Reid.

In yet another big flip-flop, Obama recently told the Military Times he has decided he actually would listen to the military commanders on the ground in Iraq, and not just pull out of Iraq immediately.
This is huge.
The central pillar of Obama’s platform has always been his pledge to immediately withdraw troops from Iraq. In fact, Obama has […]

Basically this quote about sums it up: “two Muslim women at Obama’s rally in Detroit were barred from sitting behind the podium by campaign volunteers seeking to prevent the women’s headscarves from appearing in photographs or on television with the candidate.”
“I was coming to support him, and I felt like I was discriminated against by […]
