Young Americans are standing up; “Don’t put it on OUR tab!”

And who can blame them? The Obama/Pelosi/Reid Triad are blowing money that won’t even be printed for years, and it’s all falling to our kids to pay for. Well, now they are getting it, and they don’t like it. They don’t like having been lied to, and many voted for the first time in their lives, only to find they were hustled by a Chicago slickster.

Make it viral.

Every race contested as much as we can – every voter we can muster out to vote. We can do this. We will do this.

Sen. Jim DeMint; “What good are numbers without principles?”

Senator Jim DeMint was on Mark Levin’s radio show today, (okay I distinctly heard swords unsheathed at the mention of Levin’s name) and he was asked about Charles Krauthammer seeming to be upset with DeMint and Palin for their endorsement of Christine O’Donnell. What DeMint had to say is priceless, and I nearly pulled over to jot it down;

Click arrow to play


Words for a party to live by, or die by forgetting.

And speaking of forgetting, that’s really cool, all the animosity blazing over the whole “Rino” Castle vs. “Unelectable” O’Donnell thing going on now. Friggin tomorrow can’t get here soon enough…

Obama won’t let US companies drill for oil, but he backs loans for Mexico to do it? With OUR TAXES?

WTF?

While jobs are drying up in the United States, in no small part due to Obama’s drilling moratorium, looks like no problem for Mexico to keep people employed, thanks to that same Obama;

Despite President Obama’s moratorium on U.S. deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. Export-Import Bank intends to guarantee $1 billion in loans to PEMEX, the Mexican state oil company, to bolster the company’s oil drilling in the region.

The bank, which is the official American export credit agency
, loaned more than $1 billion to PEMEX in 2009 — when the company was the bank’s largest borrower — in support of its drilling activities. That year, the bank also guaranteed two loans totaling $300 million made by a commercial lender.

The latest request comes during a drilling moratorium that was first imposed by Obama in May to find out what was the cause behind the April 20 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion killed 11 workers and led to 206 million gallons of oil spewing from BP’s undersea well.

After a federal court struck down the ban amid complaints that it threatened thousands of jobs in the offshore oil industry, the Obama administration issued a new moratorium in July on most deep-water drilling activities that is in effect until Nov. 30.

So is there a deal for Mexican oil company PEMEX to hire US oil workers? Or is Mexico where all the rigs are being chased off to? Somebody who is a citizen of this country better start

Remembering 9/11, Shock and Anger

Today, anger and sadness

I was driving to Moorpark to work, listening to KFI AM radio (the LA Rush Limbaugh station) when it all went down. I got to work a bit after 6am, and the guys I work with were standing in the crew room staring at the TV in shock.

We all thought in terms of firefighters somehow dragging hoses all the way up and putting the fires out and rescuing those above the fire. Nobody knew, or even had a clue, what was coming….

No, we’re never going to forget this, and stuff like building a mosque less that two blocks away obviously isn’t going to help forgiveness much.
