This is an email from last year that was held privately for a while.  I have received enough follow-up that I believed it needed to be posted.
As you know [or maybe not] I have just come back from England and the Labor Government is just as shameful as our Democratic one.   The MP’s are currently [...]

An odd combination but they have something remarkable in common… The American People.
Both have served to show, that when it comes down to it;  Democrats, Republicans and Independents, there is a lot we share as Americans.   The media, in pursuit of the every important rating point (dollars but the Liberals don’t like to admit it), [...]

“If you seek to be a perfect minority, you’ll remain a minority,” Gingrich said in a written statement. “That’s not how Reagan built his revolution or how we won back the House in 1994.”
Why is Newt trying to rewrite history, including his own?  Does he believe sucking up to the Liberal Republicans [...]

I was surprised to [...]

For Obama, hipness is what it is
This would not be so bad if this was Entertainment Tonight or even the Today Show, which are “almost- news agencies” already. But this was Politico. They spend about three written pages showcasing his “accomplishments” in being hip. Sighting authors of hip culture. I thought they we somewhat [...]

I was there, I was proud and I was surprised. I had hoped for 5,000 people and a ratio 9 to 1 (90% normal people and 10% nut jobs). I was surprised on both counts.
The counts coming in are north of 10,000 and may be as high as 20,000 people. I could not tell because [...]

The small stock market rally was stopped cold today due to a upward movement in the sale of five year notes. For those that have been warning us about these days, this article is the beginning of the proof points on deficit spending. The market saw this news and dropped almost 250 points from [...]
