My Personal Rants, Raves, and Ramblings

Great video by Tom Price and the RSC

Very interesting show... he goes through a lot of the history of the "Right" in America - from McCarthy to the Tea Party movement. However his analysis and commentary on it is incredibly ignorant.

He also addresses the AZ immigration law. He does an incredible job on both issues, and even throws in a great Teddy Roosevelt quote.

And to think that California could have had this man as their Governor, instead of the Governator! But alas folks like Hannity didn't have the guts to stand up Arnold and support the real conservative, Tom McClintock.

Impressive video from Senator Chapman.

This is a letter to the Mississippi Clarion Ledger, published on August 23rd, 2009 by Dr. Roger Starner Jones. Very good and short summary of the main issue we have with health care in this country, and the world.

During my last shift in the ER, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient with a shiny new gold tooth, multiple elaborate tattoos, and a new cellular telephone equipped with her favorite R&B tune for a ring tone.

Glancing over the chart, one could not help noticing her payer status: Medicaid.

She smokes a costly pack of cigarettes every day and, somehow, still has money to buy beer.

And our president expects me to pay for this woman's health care?

Our nation's health care crisis is not a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. It is a crisis of culture - a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance.

Life is really not that hard. Most of us reap what we sow.

And people have the nerve to get upset when I suggest that people start being responsible for their own children's education!? If we truly believed (Republicans and "Conservatives") in the free market, capitalism, and limited government then parents would be responsible for the education of their own children and this INCREDIBLE waste of money would be eliminated. I can assure you that Private and Christian schools do NOT have these "hidden" costs! Whatever it cost for the school is what the parents pay - like it should be. Instead we are spending billions of dollars for Public schools, when we could get a higher quality education for less money by privatizing the whole system. Yet who are the chief opponents? Republicans and "Conservatives".

We can only hope that men like this will win in 2010.

And thankfully Crist's opponent, Marco Rubio, decided to take on that false statement.

And the latest poll shows that Hoffman is in first place!

A poll released today by the Club for Growth shows Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman surging into the lead in the special election in New York’s 23rd congressional district to replace John McHugh, the former congressman who recently became Secretary of the Army.

The poll of 300 likely voters, conducted October 24-25, 2009, shows Conservative Doug Hoffman at 31.3%, Democrat Bill Owens at 27.0%, Republican Dede Scozzafava at 19.7%, and 22% undecided. The poll’s margin of error is +/- 5.66%. No information was provided about any of the candidates prior to the ballot question.

This is the third poll done for the Club for Growth in the NY-23 special election, and Doug Hoffman is the only candidate to show an increase in his support levels in each successive poll. The momentum in the race is clearly with Hoffman.

“Hoffman now has a wide lead among both Republicans and Independents, while Owens has a wide lead among Democrats. Dede Scozzafava’s support continues to collapse, making this essentially a two-candidate race between Hoffman and Owens in the final week,” concluded Basswood Research’s pollster Jon Lerner, who conducted the poll for the Club.

Why would he apologize for "speaking out"? I don't understand, he says Obama was wrong, but that he shouldn't have spoken out?

Goes to show, people want a leader. A  leader that will stand up and call liars for what they are, liars.

With a political arms race in full force, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) has raised almost $750,000 in less than 48 hours since his shout of "You lie!" to President Obama during the Wednesday address to Congress, almost matching the Internet-fueled haul of his likely Democratic opponent.

Once again my Rep is calling Obama out on his Socialistic/Communistic/Authoritarian policies, etc...

Way to go Rep Broun!
