I recently found myself in a rather odd situation; that is, actually agreeing with a Democratic Senator. That’s right…..and it felt strange. My world was upside down; I felt as if I was going a little crazy. But no..... I actually agreed with Sen. Robert Byrd, when he said that Obama appointing “czars” of health reform, urban affairs policy, and energy and climate change would amount to a “power grab” by the Executive Branch. Byrd said that such positions...
So the octuplet mom now has 14 kids. or, perhaps I should say, the people of California now have 8 more. Now, I have little doubt that most people would call it just a tad unethical, and in some places illegal, for any doctor to implant that many embryos at one time, in a woman who can't afford the 6 she already has. It's one thing to HAVE 8 kids at one time; that can't be helped, if nature takes that course. But to have 8 embryos IMPLANTED? &nbs...
As a kind of corollary to my last post, Check this out: http://news.aol.com/article/people-igno ... eet/325776 Wow...and here, all this time, I thought that Obama's ascension to the Throne and its accompanying do-gooder vibe was supposed to suddenly make us all care about each other, and help each other, and want to stand around holding hands, singing "Kum ba Yah"...and here, we have this. What went wrong? And gosh! It happened in DC! Right from where the awesome power of O...
From patriotpost.com: PATRIOT PERSPECTIVE Ushering in the error of Obama By Mark Alexander The inauguration-ordination-coronation of Barack Obama on Tuesday was heralded by his fawning media as nothing less than a "messianic" revival, with endless inaugural balls and star-studded celebrations on either end. Strange, but I seem to recall that the Leftmedia skewered George W. Bush for spending almost $40 million on his first inauguration, proclaiming the events to be "grotesque" a...
Well, okay....maybe that subtitle is somewhat premature. Hamas' leadership has declared itself the victor in the recent clash, pointing out that, despite Israel's more successful attacks and the resulting body count, they failed to acheive their goals. They said that historians for generations to come will long be writing of this great victory. Thing is, the same kinds of people who laughed when Nixon declared victory in Vietnam will undoubtedly nod their heads in agreement with this one.

Hey, folks.... I'm planning a flag rally for my area; the target date is Saturday, September 1st, from 10am-1pm. If anyone in this general area might like to attend, the site will be the corner of Colliers Way and Pennsylvania Avenue, in Weirton, WV, in front of the Rite Aid drug store. That's a very, very busy intersection, right off Interstate 22, and perfect for this type of thing. Anyone who doesn't know what a flag rally is....it's kind of a "Honk if you love America" thing. It's simp...
I copied this from a post on the "Gathering of Eagles" website. It's a very thought-provoking story.----RW The following is a must read for every freedom loving American. If you do not believe that our way of life is threatened by radical Islam, or even if you do believe, you must read this: December 7, 2008 By Raymond S. Kraft December 7, 2008, began inauspiciously. At 0753 at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, the attack that had triggered America's entry into World War II, sixty-seven ...
Tim Johnson, Democrat Senator from South Dakota, has been out of action for what, nigh on to 6 months, now? He had his bad stroke shortly after the Democrat victory in November and, despite continuing party assurances that he's fine and dandy and reviewing legislation, no one has seen him since. Whispers have recently surfaced, from the people caring for him, that he's in an unresponsive state. SD has a Republican governor, whose job it is to replace Johnson if he can't fulfill his obligations...
Now that I want them, I can't find these posts, or even the article, which may have been deleted. Sorry... I was on here somewhere a while back, and left a comment about Iranian weapons, fresh out of the factory, having been captured in Iraq, provided by the Iranians to the insurgency. Someone doubted the veracity of my statement, and smugly asked me to provide a link. In the time between my log ons, drmiler kindly provided said link, which took the user to the ABC News site, which had the...
You know…..I used to like E.R.; it was always a quality show, well-written and with good acting and production values. It was never my favorite show by any stretch, but it was the kind of show I could watch with my wife, who loves it, and more or less enjoy. I used to watch it every week, but due to pressures of work and the intrusion of just general life, I slacked off over the years. I watched it, but infrequently. Thursday night, however, I said goodbye to E.R., and couldn’t care less ...
There comes a moment in everyone’s life, often several moments, really, when he or she finally knows, with perfect clarity, where they stand or what they believe in. I guess I was always kind of conservative….I’ve often mentioned how I voted for and supported Reagan even before I was old enough to vote. In 1980, Ohio County Schools held a mock election in grades 7-12 to show the kids how the system works. I voted for Reagan. In 1984, I wore a big Reagan-Bush pin, there on the pocket of ...
The company I work for recently enacted a new Diversity policy. There are posters in the breakroom, restrooms and hallways of happy, smiling people of many and varied races, genders and apparent religions, all just gittin’ along in happy, smiling, productive peace ‘n’ harmony. "Our Strengths Lie In Our Differences", "We’re Different, but Stronger"---mottos like that. Goofy and corny. Let’s face it; are you really gonna get along better with people who are, and see things differently than you,...
Six million Jews and unknown numbers of others died in the Nazi Holocaust. I believe it; I know it's a fact. I know this because I've seen overwhelming and satisfactory evidence, and heard the stories from my great-uncle Arthur, whose division, the Fighting 42nd, liberated a Death Camp. Iran, purposely taking another giant step away from the sanity and order of the rest of modern civilization, sponsored a contest to see who could come up with the best Holocaust cartoon. It was won by a moro...
On Sept. 15, Six Flags Great Adventure theme park in NJ held the "Great Muslim Adventure Day" (see link). 15,000 or more were expected to attend. Sadly, the event was rained out. Well, I'm sure lots of people of all walks of life were disappointed that day, having been so looking forward to a fun day enjoying Six Flags amusement facilities, right? I mean, many groups get a special day of lower rates and/or special treatment among the crowds at such parks. Right? Wrong. The entire park was cl...
I don't know how this got in "Personal Computing", but I moved it to this forum.-----RW If we just took off and abandoned them, Iraq would just fall apart. It would be a hell on Earth. Much worse than it is. Everything we've tried to do in the last 3+ years, along with all the deaths and maimings, would be for absolutely nothing. Iraq, as bad as it is, would be a hundred times worse if we just dropped the ball and took off. Like it or not, we both set in place AND toppled Sadaam's govern...
