…at least been 90 years old, but looked sharp sporting a white dress shirt complemented by dress blue slacks. And despite his advanced age, much of his gray hair was still on duty, partially covered by a soft, Air Force style cap proudly displaying the words “WW II Veteran”. Apparently that distinction was relatively meaningless, because this gentleman and two other octogenarian veterans had been pulled from the scanner line in order …
…he rank and file has got to be fuming. And while labor does a slow burn, the hippies rejoice, claiming total victory. They fervently believe that their guy, so reliable on every issue thus far, from restoring the superfund to Cap and Trade, has killed the project. They claim it’s a victory over global warming, but I’m thinking hey, if we clean up the oil from the northern tar sands, won’t that create pristine beaches on Hudson Bay that we can all…
…his bill is not all bad. There are numerous good things included in the 2000 plus pages of dribble. 1) People may no longer be denied insurance due to pre-existing conditions. 2) There will no longer be a lifetime financial cap on insurance payouts 3) Insurance companies will no longer be allowed to drop policy holders because they get sick 4) Insurance companies will no longer be allowed to arbitrarily raise rates. 5) Children will be able …
… pects!” hands dirty. They learned nothing from Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson “Andrew Jackson’s first experienced war at thirteen, fighting in the Battle of Hanging Rock, South Carolina (6 August 1780). Subsequently captured, he remained uncooperative and was slashed by a British officer, creating an antipathy as permanent as the scar on his face. Jackson’s entire family perished in the Revolutionary War.” To paraphrase Newt Ging…
…ed by my application of those points to The Super Bowl. “[Conservatives] believe in equality of opportunity rather than equality of outcome. And conservatives believe in the virtues, including the moral virtues, of democratic capitalism.” Equal opportunity means the opportunity to compete. The NFL has gone to great lengths to ensure that teams must compete equally. The draft and the salary cap prevent teams in large markets from dominating the le…
…These are two of the things most Americans would be willing to shed their blood to protect. So when the present administration began to erode our “Freedom” and “control” many of us stood up and took notice. Healthcare reform, Cap and Trade, Cyber Security to name a few. At first we were confused, those that were speaking against this legislation must surely be wrong. Obama wouldn’t do this to us. But as the realization of what was really happenin…
…s, high local and state taxes as well bureaucratic mandate. It is the owner of a diner on the corner of 39th and 5th Ave, Brooklyn Sunset Park, or the small café owner entertaining guests’ post-Thanksgiving with a Santa Claus Cap while serving coffee and the Turkish immigrant who started his own little café featuring Turkish food and coffee. Throughout Brooklyn and New York proper, small businesses provide the stability of many neighborhoods. Of…
…epublicans in the history of the Party. She is not pro-life, supports same-sex marriage and has strong ties to Labor, positions which are opposed by the majority of the Party. She does support the Bush tax cuts and is against Cap-And-Trade. It was rumored during the election that she hinted she might caucus with the Democrats if elected. Obviously the nomination of Ms. Scozzafava was a big mistake. By nominating her, the Party allowed a three wa…
…olitical leanings in any way, shape or form. However, one thing I did not know until this week was that Teddy was considered the master of compromise in the Senate. Per an interview with Oren Hatch this morning, he was always capable of finding the one thing in a bill that the other side could clasp onto. If this is true, then where is the next compromiser now that he is gone? I can assure you, he or she is not coming from the far left. The langu…
It has been almost two weeks since I have had a chance to write and a lot of things have happened in that time. Most of them evolve around the health care mess that may be the beginning of Obama’s fall from grace. It seems with each passing day that the “City on a Hill” which has been Obama is beginning to become the slums of Chicago which is where he began his political career. But, to begin with, I have to do something that I never thought I w…
