O, America, Where Art Thou?

In watching recent events, I’ve come to believe more and more that this country is rapidly sliding towards Socialism, Marxism, and eventually Communism.  Extreme?  No, I truly don’t believe so.  The liberties and freedoms that have been taken from us are growing, and more and more are at risk.  So many people can’t see what [...]

Taking Out the Trash

I know it happened earlier this week, but I’m just now getting to my blog, and I wanted to comment about Arlin Specter.  So, after almost 30 years in Washington, he’s decided to officially change his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat.  There are a lot of people out there that are really worked up [...]

Change and Hope and a “Stimulus” That Will Be the End of Us

Those around me know that I am deeply opposed to this stimulus plan that Obama wants passed.  One must ask why he feels the need to bankrupt the country even more?  And why send us even further down the Socialist and Marxist path?  The answer is easy – power.  When you make people dependent on [...]

Yucca Mountain

So, I was tickled pink Friday night when I heard on Casey Hendrickson’s show, on KXNT, that economists are now recommending that Yucca Mountain be used to store nuclear waste!  They are calling on Harry Reid to stop opposing it and admit that the science behind it is sound, which it is.  There is just [...]

My Personal Presidential Battle

OK, I was on board with McCain for a bit, after he picked Palin.  But, now she is becoming more and more like him.  While I still have hope that she would be good for the country, I don’t believe that I can support that ticket.  McCain just stands for too much that I disagree [...]

Today’s Proceedings

There were some great quotes from the floor of the House today, and I wanted to pass them along. 
Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA):
“Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats said they had a commonsense energy plan when gas was $2.10 a gallon.  And then last year they voted on an energy bill that did not mention exploration, but did [...]

Could This Really Be Working?

Last night on CNN, Nancy Pelosi said she would allow a vote on offshore drilling.  (Read the full story.)
In response to her comments, House Minority Leader John Boehner said the following: 

“If Speaker Pelosi is truly sincere about having a vote on deep ocean oil and gas drilling to help bring down fuel costs, she should [...]

More on the Energy Revolt

A great quote from today: 
Rep. Tom Davis (R-VA)
“We’ve come here to talk about $4 gas…we’re dependent on dysfunctional countries like Venezuela  for our energy.  We need energy independence.  This also means increasing research for renewable fuels, nuclear energy, and more conservation.”
This is very true!  He hit the nail on the head!
This was also on House Minority [...]

Republican Energy Uprising – Day 6

More members of the House took to the floor today to talk to the American people about their energy bill.  While the hope is that Nancy Pelosi would be listening, I’m sure she’s turing a deaf ear to it all, too wrapped up in her book tour to worry about the energy crisis.  I was [...]
