• ‘Whatever’: Greta Confronts Santorum Over ‘Crazy’ Supporter & His Sex Joke

  February 17, 2012 at 11:18am

  Mr. Friess was teaching ABSTINENCE! Back in his day, single women (most) didn’t have a need for birth control, they abstained. It meant there wasn’t a need for FREE contraceptives. This issue is not about married couples making a responsible and conscious decision to plan their families. Free birth control is for those that are living loosely and want to make certain they don’t get in a “difficult situation” like the President suggests, then needing an abortion. I like what Friess is suggesting. Singles abstain.

• Reports: Obama Set to Take Action on Housing, Student Loans Without Congress

  October 25, 2011 at 10:18am

  Obama’s new “West Coast” slogan…”We can’t wait”, he’s got that right, sort of, this should be the rest of the bumper sticker…”WE CAN’T WAIT TILL 2012″ Show him the door!

  He’s beginning to sound alot like the tyrannical King of Great Britain. America kicked his ideas to the door with the Declaration of Independence. Read up Americans! Our rights are being trampled by the very people we put in office to REPRESENT us, Although, I didn’t vote for any of my representatives or this President. No president should take the authority (not given him) and go around the backs of WE THE PEOPLE. This has to stop…WE CAN’T WAIT TILL 2012.

• Obama Wants to ‘Put Party Ahead of Country’: White House Spokesman Misspeak or Freudian Slip?

  September 9, 2011 at 10:56am

  Out of the mouth speaks the heart…”The heart is desperately wicked, who can know it…”

  He probably wishes he could be shoving the toothpaste back into the tube right about now. For those of you that don’t understand my analogy. It’s a great teachable moment. I used it with my son about the words we speak and how they can encourage or cause pain once we speak them. Just like squeezing all the toothpaste out of a tube, you can’t put it back in. Once our words are out, they’re out of the mouth (tube of toothpaste) you can’t put them back in. Words hurt, in this case the truth is out. Thanks, Mr. Carney!

  The truth shall set you free.

• Carney Tells White House Side of ‘Speechgate’: Boehner Didn’t Object at First

  September 1, 2011 at 5:16pm

  In answer to the question “How much does he make” I believe Carney makes around $175,000 a year plus benefits. Yikes!

  All that aside, if Obama’s jobs plan is all about creating more GOVERNMENT jobs, we’re in BIG trouble. Here’s a for instance: If Obama’s jobs plan creates 200,000 “shovel ready” :o) government jobs (which is their goal I guarantee) and each one of those has a salary of $50,000 annually (not including health care or other benefits). That is over $10,000,000,000.00 dollars, that’s billions. Where does that money come from? THE TAX PAYERS.

  Remember, the government doesn’t make money, they TAKE money. For any job creation to begin, Obama needs to start doing away with regulations that keep American businesses from producing goods and service in our own country.

• Have Race Relations Improved Under Obama?

  August 24, 2011 at 10:52am

  the problem as I see it has less to do with race and more to do with character. Had the media and the people who elected Obama had the fortitude to VET him properly, we would not be in the position we are in today. It’s unfortunate, that the first black president will go down in history as one of the worst.

  For those that believe that race is the issue, I have a black pastor and I am white. We have over 15,000 people in our church, black, white, asian, hispanic, you name it. I am blessed to have known my pastor for over fifteen years and I can honestly say the color of his skin has nothing to do with my impression of him. He is a godly man with character, integrity, morality, and an enthusiasm to lead people to Christ, our only HOPE. It is these qualities that I sought in my pastor. He lives what he teaches. He teaches love, hope, truth, integrity, perseverance, patience, kindness….

  One last thing, my opinion (worth nothing as my pastor would say) could it be that with all the Tea party criticism coming from the black left, Maxine Waters and Fredericka, to name a couple…that they are more fearful that We the People are awakening a sleeping giant? That race has less to do with it than the fact that we have the ability to reason with people of all races and we could potentially wake up those sleeping and reveal to them the true America? Let’s stop looking at the color of the skin and begin vetting (not attacking) the character of the person. Our Hope – P

• Obama Flashback: My Presidency Will Be ‘A One-Term Proposition‘ if Economy Doesn’t Turn Around in ‘3 Years’

  August 5, 2011 at 10:20pm

  We need to not only vote, but more importantly we need to educate the mass of fools that elected him. Did anyone in the media ever explain to the ship of fools exactly what it means to be “deficit spending”?

  There are so many people out there, that I believe, think the government makes money, meaning they are a business with a product they sell and that’s where all the money comes from to pay for all the entitlement programs, government employees, congressmen, senators, even the president. That’s not the way it works folks. It’s our money! We work hard for it and the government is overstepping it’s constitutional authority and stealing us blind. They work for US!

  Wake up America.

• Matt Damon Calls for 50% Tax Rate & Says Nobody Who Earns Over $250,000 Starts Businesses if They Keep More of Their Own Money

  August 3, 2011 at 2:54pm

  According to celebritynetworth.com Matt Damon is worth about $65 million. He reportedly makes approximately $24 million a year. Maybe he should write that check to the IRS. Let’s see, I think I can do the math…half of 24 equals 12. So I guess if he sent half of what he makes, that would be $12 million a year (+ or -) . Sounds good to me, Matt! Let’s get the snowball rolling! You start!

  Then with the balance, maybe you should invest in economics classes. By the way, there are plenty of us that start businesses every day. From the ground up. You just happen to get lucky in acting. Sure you work hard, but I don’t think you work as hard as someone trying to start a business from the ground up. Balancing a budget is hard stuff, maybe you should try it sometime.

  Then maybe you can lobby the Multi-Millionaires in Congress to STOP taking a pay check. Over 50 members of Congress fit this category. Making millions while destroying every fiber of our country and our economy. I don’t fault them for making money. My question is how are they making it while the rest of us are losing half of our 401k value, losing half of our home values, losing our homes, paying more for everything else, how are they doing it? Is it legal?

• Obama Immediately Calls For Tax Code Reform: Wealthy & Corporations Must Pay ‘Fair Share’

  August 2, 2011 at 5:21pm

  In reply to Centralsville.

  This coming from a man who is in the top 80 of the Congressional Net Worth Club. Funny how there are current politicians that are extreme millionaires yet they still take a salary. Why, if they love this country so dang much aren’t they working for FREE? They might do a better job if their service was volunteered. Think about our Military, fighting the good fight to keep America FREE, doing it for pennies and these people in Government get the big bucks. Something is definitely wrong here.

• Senate Passes Debt Deal

  August 2, 2011 at 1:53pm

  Members of Congress have increase in Net Worth while the rest of us take substaintial hits in our net worth over the past few years. Could it be that they have figured out how to exempt themselves from the rules and regulations they place on us?

• Senate Passes Debt Deal

  August 2, 2011 at 1:35pm

  NEW YORK—U.S. stocks traded near their lows for the session Tuesday afternoon, adding to the longest losing streak of the year, as worries about consumer spending and economic growth trumped any enthusiasm after the Senate approved an increase in the federal borrowing limit.

  The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 160 points, or 1.3%, to 11973, falling below the psychologically significant 12000 level. All of the 30 Dow components traded in the red. The blue-chip index is on pace for its eighth straight decline, which would be its longest since October 2008. It has lost more than 700 points during the …
