Democrats Break Yet Another Promise

Let me get this straight; they were sworn in officially as the Majority Party on January 4th, just 2 short days ago, and they have already broken promises to work in a bipartisan manner and not raise taxes, and now, this (from the Washington Times, h/t KGrendition) House Democrats campaigned on a promise to implement […]

Plan To Send More Troops Blasted

Yes, that is what the headlines states. It is in regard to the letter that Pelosi and Reid sent to the President, without even know what the details of the revised Iraq plans are. I suppose the truth isn't in the details, but in the smear. What is disappointing is Republicans are not out their […]

Raising The Minimum Wage

Let me start off by saying that I am not against raising the minimum wage a bit, as it hasn't been since 1997. I do have an issue with some teenage burger jockey, who I'm not denigrating, as most of us have been in that position while young, getting $7.25 an hour mandated by law. […]

The Queen’s Coronation

I wonder who is paying for all this? Maybe John Kerry dipped into his vast war chest left over from the 2004 elections (snicker) The swearing-in of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (SM-Calif.) as the first female speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives next week will be the focus of four days of concerts, church services […]

Tuesday Linfest: Dems Promise To Restrain Spending :)

Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, spending time with friends and family, giving that perfect gift, reflecting on what the day meant, and, for our Left side buddies, a day of, hopefully, less seething.
