President Obama seems to think that throwing money at a problem, solves the problem, even though it hasn't worked before. His "jobs speech" was exactly what I expected. Spend more money or "stimulus". Which hasn't worked any times that it's been implemented, and that includes George Bush's stimulus. So, there will be some in Washington with enough common sense to oppose the jobs bill. They will be accused of not caring about the staggering unemployment in our nation. If you're one of ... Read More

Maryland will soon allow illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition. It’s one of hundreds of bills signed into law by the governor. Governor Martin O’Malley always has the option of doing nothing and allowing a bill to automatically become law. But choosing to sign the Dream Act sends the message that he supports this highly controversial bill. Immigrant students pack the state house to witness the day the state recognizes them as residents to allow them to ... Read More

Well so far, Washington and Obama's administration, can't seem to do anything right unless he owes you for something, then it might be a little different. From the Washington Times: The financial reform bill expected to clear Congress this week is chock-full of provisions that have little to do with the financial crisis but cater to the long-standing agendas of labor unions and other Democratic interest groups. Principal among them is a measure to make it easier for unions, ... Read More

Note: When you elect a radical Marxist subversive who thinks America is the root of all evil, you are going to get bombarded with policies meant to decimate its power and prosperity. ~Baltimore Examiner From the Washington Examiner: More than half a million jobs could be lost by 2015 if Congress approves the cap-and-trade portion of the Kerry-Lieberman anti-global warming bill, according to an independent analysis to be made public tomorrow by the Institute for Energy Research.

If you ever had a doubt that our representatives read the bills they sign into law, spending trillions of dollars, or if they really care about transparency about what is IN the bills they sign, let Pelosi answer this for you. In answer to the Health Care Bill, she says, "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." ... Read More

From the Wall Street Journal Some married couples would pay thousands of dollars more for the same health insurance coverage as unmarried people living together, under the health insurance overhaul plan pending in Congress.The built-in "marriage penalty" in both House and Senate healthcare bills has received scant attention. But for scores of low-income and middle-income couples, it could mean a hike of $2,000 or more in annual insurance premiums the moment they say "I do." For an unmarried couple with income of ... Read More

Believe it or not, with an estimated 10-year cost of $894 billion, that comes out to about $2.24 million per word. Republicans aide said a print-out of the bill weighs more than 19 pounds and stands nearly nine inches tall. If you want to read the bill, be aware, ... Read More

Did you know that Republicans have 30+ bills for Health Care reform that have had no acknowledgment from the Obama Administration? When Rep. Joe Wilson shouted out  "You lie!" during Obama's recent address to Congress, no doubt it's from the frustration of having ideas ignored while Obama stood there, in front of God, the American people and congress and said, ""My door is always open." From the Washington Examiner: "We knew the president would at some point say something like, 'and the ... Read More

First to say, that I found this story on a site that openly supports Obama 100%. The person does however admit that there is something in the Health Care bill that alarmed him and would surely find disapproval among most Americans. (He says 95%) What does "device that is Implantable" in a health care bill mean to you? I found the bill HERE (H.R.3200 - America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009) ‘National Medical Device Registry 1 ‘(g)(1) The Secretary shall establish a national medical ... Read More

In spite of the storms that have hit Maryland and a hurricane off the coast, we have had great weather so far. Today it became obvious that the two fronts, the storms and the hurricane, are soon to descend on us. The sky looking to the east. Storm clouds to the west. The sea was a fury and most stood along the beach watching. Others played around with the new formations that the waves were making in the beach. Around us we were unsure about ... Read More

I got an email from Chuck Norris today explaining a little known fact in the health care bill, hidden on page 838. For some reason, telling parents how to be parents is considered part of the government's idea of health care. Dirty secret No. 1 in Obamacare is about the government's coming into homes and usurping parental rights over child care and development. It's outlined in sections 440 and 1904 of the House bill (Page 838), under the heading "home visitation programs for ... Read More

People have concerns about the Health Care Bill that Obama is so quick to rush through. I hope our lawmakers continue to care about what people want and don't want on this issue: I really liked this lady, she made some great points and her delivery was superb. "I look at this health care plan and I see nothing that is about health or about care. What I see is a bureaucratic nightmare, senator. Medicaid is broke, Medicare is broke, Social Security is ... Read More

Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) inadvertently gives a great reason why they should take longer than 15 hours after finishing a bill in committee before voting on it on the floor. This man is the: Committee on the Judiciary (Chair) Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties If he needs two lawyers to read and interpret the bills, then we can conclude no one understands these laws as they are written! ... Read More

Obama wants fine-print police for consumer products - and that's good, I guess. “Those ridiculous contracts with pages of fine print that no one can figure out — those things will be a thing of the past,” the president said in a statement accompanying the 152-page draft bill. “And enforcement will be the rule, not the exception.” Let's face it, credit card companies have used complicated lawyer speak on their policies and statements for years. I have to wonder though, if Obama is ... Read More

The so called reason for this large tax increase? In all it sounds good, limit pollution and usher in an era of cleaner energy. Critics of the legislation have said it will cost too much to our already weak economy, so they wanted safeguards in place. Even as Democrats have promised that this cap-and-trade legislation won't pinch wallets, behind the scenes they've acknowledged the energy price tsunami that is coming. During the brief few days in which the bill was debated ... Read More

Found on FreeRepublic.com: It happened last night. There was debate on the floor of the House over some amendments to a spending bill. The amendments were offered by Republicans and concerned funding for ACORN and an investigation into Nancy Pelosi's problems with the CIA. As I understand the story, the Democrats announced that there would be no more votes that evening, and Republicans started heading home. When enough Republicans were gone the Democrats headed back to the House floor and ... Read More

$819 billion "Stimulus" package? Hang on, there's more, The Senate version backed by Majority Leader Harry Reid is even worse — it calls for an additional $71 billion in spending — totaling $890 billion. Obama and his Democratic allies are simply wasting hundreds of billions of our money in a clear “payoff” to Democratic Party interest groups and unions that backed him and the Democrats in Congress during the last election. Under Senate rules, the Democrats, led by ... Read More

While we consider big Oil and the price of gas (petrol)... Oh by the way, did you know that big oil companies DON'T control the majority of the oil, about 70 - 90% is owned by, guess what. GOVERNMENTS, depending how you count it. Now it all starts to make sense: Yet Big Oil is pretty small next to the industry's true giants: the national oil companies (NOCs) owned or controlled by the governments of oil-rich countries, which manage over 90% of the world's ... Read More

  At first I didn't want to believe it. Surely Bill Clinton didn't fall asleep during a Martin Luther King Speech! Surely the photo lies, and depicts a moment only where he closed his eyes. However, I watched the video, and sure enough, he does nod off, he does anxiously look at his watch, he is just downright rude.   As the article suggests, it gives MLK's "I've Got a Dream" a whole new meaning.   Article HERE         ... Read More

  Apparently my sister and her husband are sending me a few good things of late. In my Inbox came "The Bill of No Rights" and although it took me some time to locate the actual writer, I finally found it. Often credited to Mitchell Kaye, a Georgia state representative, it was really written in 1993 by Lewis Napper, who ran for U.S. Senate in 2000 as a Libertarian. Got to love those Libertarians. For that matter, got to love any party that isn't the ... Read More

    June 1st, 2007 is not a happy day for Marylanders on the grid. Today, our utility bills will begin to rise 50% in spite of our newly elected governor's campaign promise not to allow this rate hike . (I didn't vote for him). On his campaign website , he blames our former governor, even President Bush, and vows not to let this increase happen. Add that increase to the 23.5% tax we in Maryland pay for gas , along with rising ... Read More

Do you provide a service or do work that demands that you accept money that is not in the way of direct deposit or a personal check? I seem to have far reaching clients, all the way to Australia, that I either do web or graphic design for that seems to necesitate an easy way to allow others to provide payment to me. I am really enjoying how PayPal allows this. PayPal accept credit cards, bank transfers, PayPal, and more. You ... Read More
