[3.31.12 -- Finally, the U. S. House has stopped pussyfooting around the “elephant in the room” – Common Core Standards and Race to the Top. For more than a year, a number of us have begged the House to cut the funding for Common Core Standards/Race to the Top. Once the national standards, national curriculum, national assessments, national teacher evaluation, and national database are in place in the public schools of our nation, it would be almost impossible to yank them out by the…

3.27.12 – The profile of Trayvon Martin is changing with each new day.

As usual, we Americans are forced to depend upon the DailyMail in the U. K. to uncover the complete information that our own liberal and biased news media will not report.  An entirely different picture is emerging about Trayvon Martin than the one stoked by Obama and the other race baiters who are trying to divide America. 

Please go to the following…

The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was passed into law by Congress in 1996 and says that the federal government cannot recognize state-sanctioned relationships between people of the same gender.

“Romney Is Godfather of ObamaCare”

[I am not quite sure why the media has suddenly decided to dwell upon Romney’s negatives after having pushed him as the Republican candidate for so long, but this weekend two articles allow us to see what the Democrats would say about Romney if he were to win the primaries.  

Heretofore, the media has helped to make Romney look like the inevitable candidate, probably…

Excerpt | "In a speech on the Senate floor last summer, Marco Rubio (R-FL) made clear that the competing worldviews to be settled in the upcoming election will be between those who believe that the government's job is to "deliver economic justice"…

by Cam Vallee 

I belong to a left wing site known as Care 2. Run some groups there and belong too many. Talk to anyone who will talk to me respectfully. Believe me when I say I have the war wounds to show I can take on Alinsky tactics and fight to win. But I have made a lot of friends there as well, on both sides of the aisle. The Obama supporters in 2008 were rabid, to put it nicely. They are pretty quiet right now and a lot of them have jumped off the turnip truck. Turned off the…

That's why, even though Rick is busy campaigning in Louisiana today he wanted me to rush this email out to you regarding his comments yesterday about Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.

Rick's response is here:

"I would never vote for Barack Obama over…

Political Tidbit #1:  This morning on FoxNews, Congressman Louie Gohmert was discussing Obama’s Solyndra statement that Obama made yesterday: “Understand, this was not our program per se.” [The loan for Solyndra was incorporated into the $800 Billion 2009 Stimulus Package, and not a single Republican voted for the Stimulus Package. Therefore, Solyndra was indeed Obama and the Democrats’…

INTRODUCTION

Barack Obama is raising huge amounts of money for his reelection.  His campaign has already received $157 million in contributions,…

        I have said it before, but I believe its worth repeating. How do you take down a Nation as vast and powerfull, as the United States?  It couldnt be done by means of war, that has been tryed, didnt work. The only way to accomplish it, is to embark on a long range plan of utilizing our Nations Freedoms and laws, as protection for almost invisable, subversive manuvers and activities, which over time will enable these forces to gradually, morph our laws into early forms of Socialism. In…
