The Media Research Center has put out a number of "Notable Quotables" regarding the push for the Chicago Olympics bid. To read the sycophants' statements is quite amusing and rather amazing to be sure.
Were they taking bets on the Obama success to drag the IOC to Chicago, kicking and screaming all the way? LOL

The National Right to Work Website published the following which I received online today and which may be of interest.

The Obama Department of Labor appears in violation of federal law by refusing to cooperate with disclosure demands, and your National Right to Work is turning up the heat.
Six months ago, National Right to Work Foundation president Mark Mix filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking documents pertaining to the close – and…

Glenn Beck addressed this issue last night (October 1st) quite well, and it certainly bears repeating.
The Democrats have NEVER been friends to the blacks in this country. With the beginning of Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society," a new form of enslavement was born with folks being able to obtain social benefits from the government, and thus a new generation of slaves was born. These folks were ENCOURAGED not to work (why work when you can live on the subsistence the government…

I ran across that quoted below from The Patriot Post Website which I thought all of you would enjoy. It speaks to fiscal responsibility. This was a long article, and I've cut it down some, but you can visit the Website and read it in its entirety (in actuality, I took out only one paragraph!! LOL). Some of us remember Davey Crockett from our youth when television first came into being...but most of us have heard of him. Yet he was a man far, far beyond what we saw on…

Well, I suppose congratulations are to be given to the Congress as Ken Lewis departs from Bank of America. The bozos won and business will suffer. The Pay Czar is almost set to release his "findings" of what corporate pay should be to those firms which accepted TARP....another round of congratulations will be awarded after this comes out. Where will the Pay Czar stop? Like a roulette wheel, no one knows. Once again, folks who continue to work hard and have worked hard with some success will be…

Below is a posting on Forbes.com by Joel Klotkin which very adequately describes California's plight and the coming plight of many other liberal states in the U.S.
If we do not act at the grass roots level, city councils, state legislatures, etc., many other states will find themselves in the same economic condition of California.

My retired police officer pal forwarded me a very interesting piece with respect to a talk given by Charles Krautheimer, a contributor to Fox News. Point 11 is most instructive and is certainly worrisome. The text reads as follows:

Krauthammer is on Fox News. He is an M.D. and a lawyer and is paralyzed from the neck down. A friend went to hear Charles Krauthammer. He listened with 25 others in a closed room. What he says here, is…

A pal of mine, a wonderful retired New York City Policeman, forwarded the following to me via e-mail which is of interest when looking into the Arena of Corruption. Do you remember the small amount of hoopla which erupted over the University of Chicago Medical Center's wage increase for "The One's" significant other? Ohhh...but she's IRREPLACEABLE! She's doing such a FINE job!

A first has been reached.... Chuckie has decided that taxing the flatulence of cows and hogs would NOT be a good idea! YIPPEE! What a guy! What a legislator! What a genius!
The proposed tax? $175 per cow and $87.50 per hog per year. Now, the flatulent emissions would not have to be counted as they entered the atmosphere...we wouldn't want to strain the federal government's burgeoning workforce with such a task. No, each farmer and rancher would have had a tax placed upon their…

Well, the beat goes on. We've seen the displays at the U.N. this week and it's so sickening it makes you want to leave the room to get away from the television. I suspect some of us just want to throw the TV out the window! On the domestic front, we're heading to a mighty bleak future vis-a-vis the safety of this country and the safety net of our retirement, and the safety of our welfare. Obama's lies are so legion, we must have been hearing things!

As time marches on, as TARP fails, as healthcare comes to the fore on the floor of the Congress, as we are told we will NOT be able to see certain bills posted on the Internet, as more and more money is spent by the government on various and sundry projects which make no sense in these economic times, as the voting on Cap & Trade nears, as we see so many of our rights under the Bill of Rights and the Constitution fly away into outer space, I'm feeling not only weary, weepy, and…

Here is a wonderful quote from Rush Limbaugh on his radio program which a pal sent me via e-mail:
"Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head, John Conyers, says he doesn't understand it. It'll be passed by Congress that has not read it, signed by a president who smokes, funded by a Treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese, and financed by a country that's nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?"
This…

There is a succinct, prescient, and informative column in the New York Post today, September 23rd, relative to why doctors are NOT in favor of Obama healthcare, written by Marc K. Siegel. It states:
1. A majority of physicians oppose the proposed healthcare plan, and almost half would consider early retirement. Is this any wonder? Right now, doctors are paid a miniscule amount in reimbursement for the treatment of Medicaid and Medicare patients. This I know because I see what is paid…

HEALTH CARE for all: A new tax on the American public is coming! For those who do not have insurance, they will soon be FORCED to acquire health insurance or else be FINED if they do not. Either way, these folks who have made decisions for themselves vis-a-vis health care will no longer have a choice as they will suffer one way or the other financially. The very poor will receive some assistance at the cost of the rest of the country. For folks making north of $25,000 a year, this will be a…

It has begun. We first learned of the assault on corporate pay when the banks taking TARP would have their pay packages looked at rigorously and "approved" by the Pay Czar or perhaps by "The One" himself. That assault has been broadened to include ALL banks recently.
And now we learn on Fox News that there are some CORPORATIONS which have "voluntarily" said they would take a look at the issue of pay and make some changes. These corporations want to "get ahead" of the curve on the…

A very interesting article in Saturday's New York Post (with all the news that's fit to print...and also some that's not fit, but politically it's a great paper for me!) written by Meghan Clyne put the address of "The One" to the Wall Street Community firmly in perspective.
His "fixing Wall Street" speech was focused primarily on blaming Wall Street for the economic ills the country is now going through. I could not stomach listening to the whole thing but did pick up a bit of it…

I read a very interesting article today put out by Forbes.com called "When Work Doesn't Pay for the Middle Class." This article speaks about a 50-year-old divorcee in Scarsdale, NY, who recently lost her job which paid her $120,000 a year. It notes that she would be better off getting a $60,000 per year job as, since she has a daughter going to college, at a salary of $120,000 annually she would pay $16,500 more in federal and state taxes, would not qualify for the five-year $12,000-a-year cut…

What we can do to show the country as a whole, and to show the mainstream media what is REALLY going on at these townhall meetings and at the president's speeches as he campaigns his way across America to push for his agenda which will bankrupt our glorious nation:
Each of us, when we know of a speech Obama will give and where it will be given, should attend said meeting and take photos -- most specifically and importantly, the parking areas to see if folks are arriving in buses…

Wonderful post about Glenn Beck, and he IS an American hero...many thanks! One thing to remember throughout this is that the Color of Change, the SEIU, ACORN, and other like organizations are molded in the manner of what Jesse Jackson has been doing for many, many years. They EXTORT corporations to do their will. They THREATEN boycotts and all manner of business disruptions to get what they want. They BULLY banks into giving loans to folks who cannot afford them and do not understand the terms…
