U.S. Military Personnel, Veterans Give Obama Lower Marks

U.S. Military Personnel, Veterans Give Obama Lower Marks

PRINCETON, NJ -- U.S. military veterans and those currently on active military duty are less likely to approve of President Obama's job performance than are Americans of comparable ages who are not in the military.

Barack Obama Job Approval, by Veteran/Active-Duty Status and Age, January 2010-April 2011

These results are based on an analysis of more than 238,000 interviews conducted as part of Gallup Daily tracking from January 2010 through April 2011. Respondents were classified as veterans/active-duty military based on responses to a series of questions probing whether any member of the household had served in the U.S. military, and whether the respondent himself or herself had served and, if so, whether the respondent was currently on active duty.

The Law of Lower Class Values

The Law of Lower Class Values « Freedoms Journal
"There is an absolute lower class culture. The victimization values of this culture create behavior that makes these people stay poor. It is not bigotry or prejudiced, nor is it condescending to call them lower class. They have a culture that is antithetical to creating wealth and accomplishment. This culture blames problems on others as opposed to making accountability a priority, and as a result, the victims are discouraged from improving themselves; they are discouraged from working hard for the “man.” It promotes a zero-sum mentality leading to crime, especially theft, and welfare dependence. It disparages educational excellence. It encourages misogyny which leads to the breakdown of the their family structure and contributes to the lack of traditionally successful male role models. I can go on and on. The vast majority of positive accomplishments from this culture revolve around sports and entertainment, especially popular music. Unfortunately even the popular music tends to extol the negative aspects of this culture."  (From Armstrong Williams)

My grandparents were immigrants from Sicily. They valued their family, God, and made sure their kids knew how important it was to work, follow the law, and save your money. They passed that on to your kids and my parents passed those values on to me--and I have done the same for my offspring. I married a man with similar values.

Moral of the story--I have never seen myself as a victim--I believe in hard work and accomplishment. Living your life that way will lead you to happiness and wealth.

Here's why we're screwed

"In the past few weeks, members of both political parties have finally introduced plans to save America. And it's about time.
Because the country's finances are a horrowshow.
Unfortunately, because our leaders are still pretending that we can have it all, Americans haven't yet clued into the fact that the only answer is BOTH higher taxes AND less spending.
In other words, kicking our debt and deficit problem is going to be painful. And everyone's going to pay."

This sure doesn't make me feel good about my Illinois pension

    For the second year in a row, Illinois ranks dead last when it comes to saving money to pay promised worker pensions -- and the hole is getting worse. According to a new report being issued this morning by the Pew Center on the States, Illinois through fiscal 2009 had set aside just 51% of the $126 billion it will need to pay retired workers their pensions.

'effing moron......

Obama: new task force will examine gas prices


There's war in the mideast, debt throughout the world and DISTURBING reluctance on no-bama's part (and the demon-crats) to deal with the SPENDING problem we have here. Our dollar is tumbling--no wonder the price of a gallon of gas is so damned high. 'Effing morons in charge in the White House.

Thankfully there IS a death penalty in Florida--and they USE IT

Searching for evidence in gruesome murder

This kid is lured to his death by his ex-girlfriend.  Disturbing, disgusting, awful. They should be tried and put to THEIR death when they are convicted. 

"When the unsuspecting Jackson arrived Sunday at the Summerfield home of one of Wright's friends, he was ambushed by several other teens, including Wright's current boyfriend, Michael Bargo, 18, police said.
Bargo allegedly shot Jackson several times with a .22-caliber revolver. When Jackson tried to escape, he was struck with an ax handle and restrained. Jackson was then placed in a bathtub, where Bargo broke his knees so his body would fit in a sleeping bag. But Jackson was still alive, so Bargo shot him again, police said.
Then the gang allegedly crammed Jackson's body inside a blue sleeping bag and hauled it to a backyard fire pit, where they used wood to start a fire that burned for hours."

Abortion makes Planned Parenthood money

ADF - Alliance Defense Fund

"Abortion is big business for Planned Parenthood.

In 2009, America’s largest abortion provider received nearly $350 million in taxpayer funding – and aborted more than 332,000 preborn children. The University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics was secretly planning to transfer Planned Parenthood’s late-term abortion services to one of its medical facilities. Not only could this abortion program lead to the deaths of nearly 100 developed, 19- to 22-week-old preborn babies each year, but pro-life staff – like Anesthesiologist Nancy Fredericks – would be forced against their conscience to participate in the killing of innocent lives.

By God’s grace, ADF and our allies uncovered its covert scheme, fired off letters to university hospital officials, and helped coordinate a public response. As a result, the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics has abandoned its late-term abortion plans."

Liberal women ARE hypocrites

The Hypocrisy of the Feminist Left

"We all know most extreme leftists are undoubtedly hypocritical.  There are those who claim Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) budget plan will kill, starve and abandon disabled children and the elderly but they support Obamacare while denying the inevitable rationing that will occur under socialized health care when the money runs out.  There are those who praise the President for intervening in Libya for “humanitarian purposes” but criticize the war in Iraq.  A country with a sadistic dictator who killed more Muslims than anyone in history."


WAY BACK WHEN (I was in my early 20's) I was a member of NOW, but as soon as abortion became their #1 issue I told them to take a hike. If NOW is an organization that was designed to promote women's rights, protect and defend women, WHY do they praise and push support for abortion that (probably if statistics are correct) kills 50% of the babies that are aborted in this country? Why don't they protect and defend CONSERVATIVE women who are attacked (and viciously) by creeps in the press and on the internet? HYPOCRITES. They should be ashamed!

From Senator Jim DeMint

Republicans must not be so afraid of Democrats' threats of a shutdown that they fail to unite behind the broad, sweeping reforms necessary to save our country. There will be a short window to pass the balanced budget amendment before a vote to increase the debt ceiling and the GOP must take advantage of it.

This guy ought to know

I ought to know. I was Mr. Obama’s college classmate at Columbia University Class of ‘83. Our college was dominated by socialists and Marxists who hated capitalism and America. Let’s look at the facts up close and personal - Jeff Foxworthy style. Mr. Foxworthy leaves no doubt as to “who might be a redneck.” Let me leave no doubt that “Obama might be a socialist.”"

Paul Ryan explains the deficit and GOP plans

First strike on the unconstitutional no-bama care law

"Congress on Tuesday passed the first major changes to last year’s health care law, undoing both a burdensome paperwork requirement for small businesses and rewriting part of the way the health exchange subsidies are paid for.

The measure has become known as the “1099 repeal” because it would relieve businesses of having to file 1099 tax forms for any person or company to which they pay at least $600 in a year."

Demon-crats ='s HYPOCRITES

Michelle Malkin

The Littlest Victims of Obamacare

The best of intentions (and in the spirit of the Christmas season I will say they had good intentions) have proven to be absolutely destructive of our insurance system, our medical care, and the financial soundness of this country. Demon-crats are hypocrites--they say one thing but when it comes right down to it they do all they can to defile our basic structure and what America is all about. No wonder America voted them out. Republicans--be the party of the people--not the country club set. Stand up to the socialist occupying the White House. It's time to be serious about protecting our country and doing what's right!

A lingering depression

So Tuesday was a WONDERFUL day across America for Republicans, and yes, here in Illinois it was pretty darned good to get rid of Bill "I'M A LIBERAL AND I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT THE VOTERS IN MY DISTRICT WANT" Foster and Alexi "I LOVE MY MOB BUDDIES" G. BUT unfortunately the voters in this state allowed Pat Quinn to retain his death grip on Illinois. For the life of me I can't understand how anyone could vote for that boob, but of course the teachers' unions pushed him in spite of the fact that schools aren't getting the state money they're supposed to get, that Quinn uses them as a political tool, and that kids are not doing very well in state testing. Unions support slackers, and it's a damned shame they do not get it. They pushed lies about Bill Brady, allowed their members to believe the lies, and hide behind their lies.

So ya, the future of Illinois is bleak. Of course we'll get a tax increase. We'll suffer further deterioration of our credit rating, and the idiot known as Quinn will keep borrowing money (in concert with Madigan) and further putting our state in the red. It's so sad. So you can understand the lingering depression I'm feeling. I grieve for my state.

Finally someone who dispels some of the liberal lies

Pajamas Media » After Historic Election Wins … Setting the Record Straight

The final part of this article says it all: "If he persists in trying to transform America into a European-style socialist state, he will be a one-term president. That will be a change that Americans can truly believe in and change we richly deserve." LET'S HOPE no-bama IS ONLY A ONE TERM PRESIDENT. We can't survive another four years of this economic/social/legal terror on America.

Obama Doesn’t Get It

Obama Doesn’t Get It - By Victor Davis Hanson - The Corner - National Review Online

"He seems bewildered (for the first time?) that his popularity as a campaign rhetorician did not last when he became responsible for actual governance. For most of the press conference, a humbled but deer-in-the-headlights Obama half-heartedly argued that the populist outrage against his own massive debt, huge wasteful government, and elitism was really outrage against the economy he inherited, an outrage that he shares. We don’t know it, the president hints, but we are still angry at the Bush years, and yesterday mistakenly took our wrath out on Obama’s methodical, albeit too slow, efforts at recovery. In short, there was little admission whatsoever that Obama’s message and the way he pushed it turned off millions — there was no repentant Clinton, circa autumn 1994, here; instead, a shocked Obama who seems hurt that we do not appreciate him."

EGOMANIAC who can't figure out that we just don't like the crap he's been pushing. Geez, the hubris of the putz continues to astound.

"No more compromising deals behind closed doors. No more compromising bailouts in times of manufactured crisis. No more compromising conservative principles for D.C. party elites. No more compromising the American economy for left-wing special interests. No more compromising transparency and ethics for bureaucratic self-preservation.
Let us be clear, in case it hasn't fully sunk into the minds of Obama and the trash-talking Democrats yet: You can take your faux olive branch and shove it. Thank you."

It's morning in America

WONDERFUL election day for Republicans. Thank you so much to all the people who voted the demon-crat bums out. And SHAME ON EVERY TEACHER/UNION MEMBER who voted for Pat Quinn because they bought the union LIES about Bill Brady. SHAME ON YOU--you have continued the budget busting crap of Quinn and demon-crats in Springfield. Our state will sink in debt because you were stupid.

Obama's economists missed what voters plainly saw | Washington Examiner

Obama's economists missed what voters plainly saw | Washington Examiner

"Heading into what appears to be a disastrous midterm election, the Obama Democrats profess to be puzzled. The president's record, they insist, is moderate, accommodating, if anything overcautious. So why do most American voters seem to be angrily rejecting it?

That's one way of looking at it. Another way is to say that the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress have increased government's share of gross domestic product from 21 percent, where it's hovered for the last several decades, to about 25 percent and have put the national debt on a trajectory to increase from 40 percent to 90 percent of GDP.

Voters have noticed -- and don't like it."

The Failure of the Liberal Economic Experiment?

A majority of Americans believe that President Obama's economic policies have run up a record federal deficit while failing to end the recession or slow job losses.

Read it--it's interesting. 

 

Let's TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK

We Need More Skilled Workers

We Need More Skilled Workers

"Equally important, we will promote the concept that essential skilled work is noble, is useful and creates the independent mindset and self-confidence in the individual that has resonated throughout our nation’s history — and can rebuild America with a solid foundation once again."

Take it from a retired college teacher--not everyone should go to college. This notion that each and every kid who goes to school should focus on college is BALONEY. We need MORE SKILLED WORKERS. We need people who know how to build things, fix things, and people who have ideas on how to design things. Those people are crucial. We've become a nation of whiners--too lazy to take jobs that some people think are beneath them. BUNK. I worked in a big box store selling tools and met a lot of different people--some contractors who were amazing folks who knew how to take the rawest material and build wonderful things and some who either knew how to fix stuff or could figure it out. I met just regular people who came in and had no clue how to use a tool or what was the right tool to select for a project. They knew they either took pride in doing something themselves or they just didn't have the money to hire someone to do the job--so they needed stuff to do the job right. Thankfully I am the child of self-made parents--who taught themselves how to do just about everything and worked hard. My dad in particular taught me how to do stuff--I remember him changing an engine in our garage. I learned at an early age that changing the oil in your car wasn't hard and it was a pretty cheap thing to do. My spouse is the product of working class folks too--and today we're both doing pretty well--because we scrimped and saved and knew that if we did stuff "on the cheap" we'd do ok.

More skilled workers--don't ship your kid to college if they're not suited for it. Send them to technical school--teach them how to DO STUFF, not just whine about their lack of talent. Workers have made our country great. We can do it again!

Pajamas Media » Suggestions on How We Should Treat Our Congressmen

Pajamas Media » Suggestions on How We Should Treat Our Congressmen

"Right now, we have all our legislators throwing around trillions of dollars and coming up with new laws to inflict on us (it’s going to be illegal now not to own health insurance; did they even have health insurance when the Founding Fathers were around?). And as we see with people like Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters, these legislators just do whatever they want and act like they own the country. So basically we traded having one big, petty tyrant pushing us around for a bunch of little, even pettier tyrants all competing to push us around."

"It’s pretty simple: We treat all legislators like lying crooks, because they self-identified as such by running for office; normal people don’t desire to spend other people’s money. Right now, being a representative or a senator is a high-paying, prestigious job that any idiot could do (and some exceptional idiots have done it for years), but if there were a few more drawbacks to being a legislator, maybe the worst of them would stay away. And if they don’t, at least maybe they’ll stay in line more if we let them know we consider them to be the worst of the worst and are keeping an eye on them. Then perhaps they’ll listen to those of us who really are supposed to be in charge in this country, the ones who actually work for a living.

This is America: We don’t let tyrants push us around; we push them around. It’s time we remember that."

Treat them like the liars they are and FIRE THEM in November.

Put me (and a lot of people I know) in the "bitter clingers" category.

And he's going on his 6th vacation of the year.....oh ya, he really relates to the folks in this country. MORON.

"New U.S. claims for unemployment benefits unexpectedly climbed to a nine-month high last week, government data showed on Thursday, yet another setback to the frail economic recovery.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 500,000 in the week ended Aug. 14, the highest since mid-November, the Labor Department said."

One way to judge the economic scene is to drive down a major road. Yesterday I drove east on Rt. 64 here in the western suburbs. Time after time I saw empty stores in mini-malls--Charlestown Mall in St. Charles is a ghost town--lots of empty former "big box" locations--big commercial buildings that used to hold thriving businesses are empty.

FBI: Bank robber leaves debit card behind - Chicago Breaking News

FBI: Bank robber leaves debit card behind
August 17, 2010 12:15 PM | No Comments
A woman charged with robbing more than $11,000 from a Waukegan bank Monday was captured less than 40 minutes later after leaving, among other clues, her personal debit card on the teller's counter.

Kimberly Ramirez not only left her debit card, charging documents say, she wrote her demand note -- which read "give me what you got" -- on the back of a prescription made out in her name and left it at the Consumers Credit Union, 2750 Washington St., around 12:57 p.m.

When Waukegan police arrived at her apartment building at about 1:30 p.m., Ramirez was outside her unit and told police she'd locked herself out. Inside the apartment, police found almost $10,000 as well as a black hat, sunglasses and black purse identical to the ones worn by the bank robber, according to a criminal complaint.
Waukegan police also spotted a red vehicle that matched the description of Ramirez's getaway car and pulled it over. The driver told police he had picked up a woman at the credit union and had been paid $1,235 to drive her around, cash the police then recovered, according to the complaint.

Ramirez is not the first bank robber to leave her name behind. In Decemberf 2008, a man charged with robbing a Chicago bank wrote his demand note on the back of his own pay stub.

"One of the many disservices done to young people by our schools and colleges is giving them the puffed up notion that they are in a position to pass sweeping judgments on a world that they have barely begun to experience. A standing ovation for childish remarks may produce "self-esteem" but promoting presumptuousness is unlikely to benefit either this student or society."

What are they smoking?

Thinking that spending more will solve the problems is CRAZY TALK

Stimulus spending has killed the ‘reality based community’ | Washington Examiner
"The various economic “stimulus” proposals have, by all accounts, failed to pull the U.S. economy out of recession. Regardless of whether they’ve had a positive effect on jobs or the economy at large, at least one sector of America has been irrevocably damaged by the stimuli: the “reality based community.”

John Kasich is running for governor in Ohio--We need to help get him elected!

Important Message from the White House on Racism

Yes, this is how no-bama views us and what we believe in.


Another gem from Karen (thanks!)

EIGHT THINGS GOD WON'T ASK WHEN YOU MEET HIM FACE TO FACE:
1. God won't ask what kind of car you drove. He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.
2. God won't ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.
3. God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He'll ask how many you helped to clothe.
4. God won't ask what your highest salary was. He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.
5. God won't ask what your job title was. He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.
6. God won't ask how many friends you had. He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.
7. God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.
8. God won't ask about the color of your skin, He'll ask about the content of your character.

The number of Illinois families receiving food stamps has reached its highest level ever.

More than 780,000 Illinois families got food stamps in June. The Illinois Department of Human Services says that is up 11.9 percent from a year earlier.
Applications for the program jumped even more -- 27 percent.

The food stamp program is formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

A family of three can be get up to $526 in monthly benefits, depending on their income and expenses. The average in Illinois is $296 a month.

Check out this map to see what the "per capita" debt is in your state

Here in Illinois it's $1856. So if I send them a check for that amount they'll stop taxing me? YA SURE--this demon-crat run state will tax you if you stand, sit, die, live, run, walk, drive, skip, jump----get the point? They'll tax you for THINKING ABOUT TAXING. So what's the answer? STOP SPENDING MONEY ON STUPID STUFF like they do here and also on the federal level. Stop trying to pay for stuff that government should have no business being involved in.

So go to this link:  Your share of the state debt

So one day last week I came home from running errands and my neighbor had kids in their backyard pool (again--it's been fairly much of a daily occurrence, and they love to be rather loud and boisterous). Well the little urchins started doing the MARCO/POLO thing (one weekend they did it for over an hour and it's maddening!) and I said, in a conversational voice (and this is a DIRECT QUOTE), "Hey guys, give it a break. You have no idea how annoying it is to hear marco/polo every 2 seconds." And then I went inside. Well the mom comes screaming over to my house, rang the door bell and went into a tirade about how I yelled at the kids (which I didn't) and how I owe them an apology (which I don't). Well she went into a further tirade about how wonderful her kids were and that I had no right to talk to them. I was stunned--told her I was sorry she felt that way. Finally couldn't take anymore (she went on and on about how respectful they are, they don't come home at 11:30pm playing music (don't know what that is about),  yada yada yada and said "whatever" and closed the door. So her little urchin lied to her. Well the bonus is they haven't been in the pool since then and it's been peaceful around here. Next time I hear them out there with their friends I'll just run the lawnmower next to the fence to have my own friendly noise! Oh ya, and I guess (according to the mom) I'm not supposed to EVER (even if in my own yard) say a word to her kids.

No, I'm not being nasty about it--it is their house and they have the right to have whomever over they want, but PLEASE at a certain point it's annoying and pretty un-neighborly. I'd love to have a 10 foot fence on that side of the yard blocking their trashy above ground pool (no deck and kind of looks like it belongs in a trailer park), but that's obviously not going to happen. But good God people, try behaving like adults and perhaps thinking that your snotty little urchin might have exaggerated a bit! This woman went from zero to 90 is a second without considering that we are pretty darned good neighbors who DON'T make noise and take nice care of our house and yard. Get over yourselves.

Now that's some funny stuff!

Illinois Review

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The Devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.

Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she is finished the devil informs her that the cost is 6 million dollars. She writes him a check.

Finally, George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he Is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00.

When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Bush got to call the USA so cheaply. The devil smiles and replies: "Since Obama took over, the country has gone to hell, so it's a local call."

Don't believe this crap

Blago Defense Lawyer Says Client ‘Just Yakking’ as Case Goes to Jury

OH COME ON

So the defense's explanation for Blago is (basically) that he was "accidentally" corrupt. Geez, that certainly doesn't pass the smell test.

CONVICT THIS GUY - SEND HIM TO JAIL - RID THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OF THIS CORRUPT/CREEPY  AND  DISGUSTING PERSON.

Blago is the perfect example of what is wrong with demon-crats and their duped voters. It's time for people to wake up - and I think he provided the caffeine to jog them from their dozing.

Read the stories in the Chicago papers by going to these links:
1. Is Blagojevich a 'silly' victim or a scheming crook?

2. Blagojevich defense gives theatrical closing argument

The DeKalb Chronicle gets it right

Read this editorial--it provides another reason why Quinn has to go. Adios Pat Quinn--time to go.

Dittos Katie--I want to see Bill Brady as the next governor also

I love Illinois--really. I'd like to stay here and someday (I wish, I wish, I wish) I'd like to see my wonderful smart offspring staying here also, working here, serving the people of this State and raising a family here. I really don't want to leave--in spite of hating Chicago winters! But Illinois has become a burdensome tax-crazy state. Between real estate taxes and income taxes, and sales taxes I don't know if we'll be able to afford to stay here as residents when we retire. We're no different than other people--we know what's happened to Illinois--we've become a joke throughout the country. So if you want the joke to end, if you want to be proud of Illinois again, VOTE FOR BILL BRADY and every other Republican on November 2nd. Please help us rid ourselves of the crooks (also known as demon-crats) who have turned our state into a financial cess-pool.

And here's a nice change from the usual political bullsh*t

When Blagojevich saw himself destined to be president

You HAVE to read this story by Chuck Goudie about our former governor Blago. WHY would anyone EVER have voted for that gas bag egotistic first class jerk????? ANYONE who voted for him should seriously sit down, have a drink and then question their sanity--or at least admit their judgment has been WRONG and if they ever vote for a demon-crat again they are STILL impaired.

Proof positive Giannoulias is a scum sucker

And where has Giannoulias been? Well, how about out of the country: "The Giannoulias Democratic Illinois Senate campaign confirmed Monday--after prodding from the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee--that Alexi Giannoulias was in Canada on Sunday attending a fund-raiser at a trial lawyer convention in Vancouver that would benefit his Senate campaign."

If that's not a good reason NOT to vote for him, well there are GAZILLIONS of reasons not to vote for him.

New Report, More Bad News On Illinois Finances

July 7, 2010
By Bengamin Yount
 
SPRINGFIELD  –  It's pretty much common knowledge that Illinois is broke.  But a new report gives new insight into just how little money the state actually has and how many unpaid bills continue to pile up.

 The July report from Illinois Comptroller Dan Hynes' office details the state's fiscal woes.  Too many bills, too little cash, and a new state budget that ignores serious gaps in revenue.

Illegal Immigration Costs U.S. $113 Billion a Year, Study Finds

"The cost of harboring illegal immigrants in the United States is a staggering $113 billion a year -- an average of $1,117 for every “native-headed” household in America -- according to a study conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)."

I'm not willing to pay the tab on that bill. What part of ILLEGAL doesn't no-bama and his thugs understand? And to add insult to the already outrageous bill no-bama and his thugs have filed suit against Arizona today. Shameful.

Thank God for Justice Kennedy

Elections have consequences. Justice Kennedy of the US Supreme Court understands that (even if the dummies who voted for no-bama don't). He said he'll wait for no-bama to be out of office to retire. THANK GOD FOR JUSTICE KENNEDY.

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: Barack Obama: The great jobs killer

"It's time to call Obama what he is: The Great Jobs Killer. With his massive spending and tax hikes -- rewarding big government and big unions, while punishing taxpayers and business owners -- Obama has killed jobs, he has killed motivation to create new jobs, he has killed the motivation to invest in new businesses, or expand old ones."

Oh Pat Quinn, you are such an idiot....

Amid budget woes, state police get hundreds of new cars

"The replacement of some of the state's more than 2,400 cars comes as Gov. Pat Quinn is considering a plan to shutter state police district headquarters and lay off 460 state police employees as part of his bid to close a $13 billion budget gap."

So Mr. Quinn: are you buying those new cars so the troopers can leave them in their driveways or are you going to park them at the closed State Police districts? Geez, what an idiot.

Cardinals' LaRussa supports Arizona immigration law

My husband is a Cardinals fan (he grew up in central Illinois and went to Cardinals games through his life down there). As a Cubs fan it's been "interesting" having a "house divided" in our sports fan-dom, but go to the link and see why we should all support Tony LaRussa. What a good guy!

Our country loses another good military man because of political correctness

Gen. Stanley McChrystal retires - Andy Barr - POLITICO.com

This sucks. This guy has served his country honorably and well for many years. It's sad to lose him.

General, thank you for your service and enjoy your retirement. Hopefully in a couple years we'll get rid of the joke we have as president and someone who appreciates a good man like you is the commander in chief. Maybe you'll consider coming back to government service then.

I LOVE THIS GUY--this is what REAL law enforcement is like!!!!!

Video: I Thought We Were Broke?

If anyone votes for Pat Quinn they are voting for Rod Blo. Make no mistake, their politics are one and the same.

Horrible, horrible, horrible

Years ago my parents had a condo in Destin, Florida and we used to go there and walk the beaches and enjoy wonderful seafood. We often went up to Pensacola and loved going to the naval base museum and enjoyed the drive down the coast and the pristine white beaches. Watch this video. It saddens me greatly.


Friday, June 18, 2010

I still love this guy!

How come we don't have any politicians with this much grit in Illinois? Geez, wouldn't it be nice to have someone with this much backbone running for something in Illinois?
