WSJ: FCC Gives Government Power to Regulate Web Traffic

Obama has wanted this from the start.  If he can control the opposition, he can feed the information out he wants and allow no one who dislikes the lies to be heard.  Sad and hopefully, the new congress will hobble these folks and cut their budget to the point they can't even do what they were supposed to do.  Better still let's just shut them down; what good are they to start with?…

Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Fellow Patriots,

 

Don't Ask, Don't Tell was working.  It's repeal may not.

 

My concern about the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is how the repeal actually plays out in practice.

 

Let's assume an openly gay soldier is posted to service in a combat theater where the host government is a theocracy that does not tolerate gays.  Is that gay person now exempt from combat service in that theater?

 

If so,

(1)  A disproportionate…

Times Union: Peyton: Next Jacksonville mayor will face tough choices

Most of the things Peyton mentions are not a function of city government, so perhaps the next mayor will not have quite the struggle Peyton expects.  The private sector should be addressing some of his ideas of "big" issues for the city.
He expects replacement to struggle with pet projects.

Mom & Dad, Grandma & Grandpa: Mr. Grinch is Stealing Christmas and he is in Congress - ACTION ALERT

This time of year is for the children and for family traditions. In my lifetime I could not imagine that the week of Christmas would bring us a Congress who is putting our children and grandchildren in harm’s way for POLITICAL purposes.  I do believe the Grinch is in the Senate and his name is Harry Reid! 



The START Treaty is a treaty between the United States…

WSJ: The FCC's Threat to Internet Freedom

'Net neutrality' sounds nice, but the Web is working fine now. The new rules will inhibit investment, deter innovation and create a billable-hours bonanza for lawyers.

Newsmax: Judge in Obamacare Case: Mandate Broccoli?

If the government can order health care coverage, can it also order people to buy broccoli, a federal judge in Florida asked during oral arguments in a case challenging Obamacare. Politico reports that Judge Roger Vinson…

I'm saying "Merry Christmas" ... Will you join me?

 

In between writing, calling and emailing our Congressmen about the Lame Duck bills, I hit the stores running to purchase a new Nativity scene for our front yard.  Ours had grown old and aged and I felt it needed to shine for all its glory.

 

If you are shopping for a blow up penguin, Santa in a snow globe or one with him flying an airplane, you…

Call Your Congressman!

This is no time for the sunshine soldier and summer patriot.  We all knew that the election was the easy part, and now we know, and our elected leaders know, that governing is hard.

 

The tax bill can still be defeated in the House.  Obama is telling Democrats that if this fails his presidency will fail.  So let's help him.  Call your Congressman and urge them to vote NO.  Tell them to wait until conservative reinforcements arrive in January.

 

Peace.

Action Alert: Call US Senator Bill Nelson’s Office

How can Congress pass a nearly 2,000 page bill with out time to read it again?



Senator Bill Nelson voted for the Coburn-McCaskill earmark ban but could be a critical vote for the impending pork stuffed omnibus bill.  Please take a moment to call Senator Nelson’s office and tell him to stick to his prior ban and vote NO on this bill.

AFP Policy Director Phil Kerpen explained it best saying “The bottom line is…

CALL TO ACTION: LAME DUCK IS MORE LAME THAN EVER!

 

We apologize for two emails in one day but this is very important.  We need you to call Congress today and we have made it easy for you to do so. 

 

Why?

 

Harry Reid has promised no one will go home until they get the “work of the people” done.  Who is Harry kidding?  We don’t want them to do any of the bills they are trying to pass through.  None of them!

 

First:  The Tax Hike Bill.  This bill was supposed to keep our taxes at the same…

Celebrating the Original Boston Tea Party: December 16, 1773

On December 16, 1773, We the People were not happy. 

 

On December 16, 2010, We the People are not happy.

 

In 1773 an aggressive effort by the British government kept the British East India Company, a large commercial entity in Great Britain, afloat with a “bailout” by cutting taxes and regulations through the Tea Act of 1773. 

 

In 2008, an aggressive effort by the American government kept the banks and our financial institutions afloat with a…

May God Save the Republic!

Can we still say God? I just did, so deal with it.

 

Either way, Merry Christmas to all! To my Jewish friends, Happy Chanukah!

 

Now to the business at hand.

 

The government will not shut down. The military still works (this is not the Netherlands, yet). All non-essential government workers stay home, and eventually a spending bill gets passed. Then, the government workers that got to stay home and watch Oprah go back to work and get back pay for…

We need a Rick Santelli Rant again!

WARNING: ANGRY TEA PARTY MEMBER WRITING THIS...

They are at it again. The Lame (Duck) Congress is standing in front of us, pulling out the country’s credit card and defying us to say anything as they ring up more debt right before our eyes.

As a parent, this type of defiance would have them sitting in time out and if that didn’t stop them, then a big whack on the butt would be in order. Since I would be considered a terrorist if I attempted to smack…

Merry Christmas, Yes; Happy Holidays. . .I think not! What do you think?

Across the nation both the concept of Christmas and the greeting of “Merry Christmas” is being attacked by the ACLU. I will not be politically correct or sensitive to those that feel offended by the “true” meaning of Christmas. Today I sent my annual “Christmas Card” to the ACLU Headquarters in New York. As donations are accepted by mail, each card is guaranteed to be opened. For less than $0.50 I will make a statement to this anti-American group; priceless.…

Sweden: Suicide Bomb Against Free Speech

Sweden: Suicide Bomb Against Free Speech

by Robert Spencer

12/14/2010







It was only a matter of time before jihad suicide bombers started operating in Europe. And now they have begun – in yet another salvo in the war against the freedom of speech that the West has barely noticed.



“Now the Islamic state has been created. We now exist here in Europe and in Sweden. We are a reality.” So said an audio file in Arabic and Swedish sent to TT, the Swedish…

Illegals have a toll free number 1-866-996-5161 to call congress about the Dream Act, set up by democrats

The question that begs to be asked is: Are the taxpayers paying for this toll free line either directly or indirectly? A friend sent this my way, and I wanted to share it just in case anyone was a brave sole and wanted to call using the toll free number to try to stop the Dream Act (yet again). I feel quite…

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
