Most people think of the financial “Rich” behind Republicans only. I never understood this logic nor did it jive with say, the money behind the Kennedy’s, Bloombergs, Kerry’s, Jay Rockefellers, and Warner’s-  as well they sure do hang around a lot of glitzy and rich celebrities. Republicans, in the past, like Ronald Reagan, have been behind business that helps the country to thrive and hire people. These days, I think perhaps they are all in cahoots together, and it is going to depend on us regular folk, if we can, to find candidates that support US, not just Wall Street. Ann Coulter on the other hand feels that Wall Street is solidly behind the Democrats. She writes: Wall Street, far from being a stronghold of “rich Republicans” and “laissez-faire capitalists,” is actually dominated … Read entire article »

The title of this post surprised me at first. I don’t recall ever being taught MLK’s party affiliation in school. No doubt they don’t teach it now. To make sure, I checked and re-checked. According to Human Events: In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. It was the Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks. The Democrats fought to prevent the passage of every civil rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860s, and continuing with the civil rights laws of the … Read entire article »

Between millions showing up to tea parties expressing doubt and opposition to Obama’s policies and Wilson’s outburst of  “You lie!”, there is a lot of disapproval of Obama and his policies going on. I personally do not agree with most of Obama’s policies, and it has NOTHING to do with the color of his skin. Unfortunately we have Jimmy Carter saying things like,   “an act “based on racism. … There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president.”   Then he added to NBC,  “I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he’s African-American.” (It was really good of Carter to remind us though, why he … Read entire article »

The latest candy company, Hershey’s. Why is that? Many of them cited high U.S. sugar prices, which have been propped up for decades by government subsidies. Oh, government! Companies with new Mexican operations include: •Brach’s Confections, which … Read entire article »
