Unfortunately it begins with your money and mine, but what do politicians care? If they would understand that a) it ain't their money & b) it is not the "Jones'" job to help the "Smiths" keep up with them - They just might get some place for the good of the country!
FOX News: Senate Vote on Middle Class Tax Cuts Fails as Expected By the way, when I was out of work I didn't look for help keeping up with the Jones I "cowboy-ed up", set my goals, trusted God had a reason/plan & and "pursued MY right" to make MY life better - Depending on the government would have only left me and my family wanting - Ask the Smith!
...pushing until either WE (the US (i.e. The "O")) do something or worse something REAL bad really happens.

They will keep pushing until they are told enough is enough. Not to mention, I am sure we are supposed to keep our eye on this while they are doing something else - Like helping Iran with their nuclear program!
Interesting read, but I thought everyone was going to instantly love the US once Obama was elected - I suppose this to is Bushes fault. Although, after September 2001, while in office over two months less time, Bush took charge and dealt with it without blaming the previous administration.... Will Obama? Be on the look out for some "organized" meeting.
Attempted bombing spotlights al Qaeda growth in YemenCivil war and lawlessness have turned the Arab world's poorest state into an attractive alternative base for al Qaeda, which U.S. officials say has been largely pushed out of Afghanistan and is under growing military pressure from the Pakistani army in bordering tribal areas.
The below is "great news"...we have so much to look forward to! For example, more taxes for "the greater good", go carts with electric mower engines, BS about renewable energies while you are still burning fossil fuels just not "oil"...and nobody will tell you how much these "batteries" will cost to buy, to dispose of, or the cost associated with gearing our emergency personnel up to deal with these "batteries"!
NO, it ain't good news - But hey I am a "global warming denier" and proud of it!
Some Hint at Progress on Climate Deal - NYTimes.comA two-day meeting of officials from countries responsible for the bulk of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions ended Monday in London with hints that rich and developing nations might be able to bridge at least some of their differences on issues hobbling agreement on a new climate treaty.
REMEMBER, when democrats across the country, those in office and "common" citizens, were so out raged at the report the Government was "listening to our phone calls" - "Warrant-less Wiretaps"? Though exaggerated and proven both not to include domestic calls and be legal (by the court during the current administration), they screamed "big brother" and "privacy issues".
Well let's fast forward to ObamaCare - So am I to understand that though we don't want anyone hearing our conversations with Mom and Dad or the wife, that would be an infringement on our rights, but the government knowing everything about our medical history should be common practice? In fact, good that they want to care so much - RIDICULOUS!
ATTENTION "leftwing nuts" - I guess this new request, to turn in your friends and family for speaking out against the state is a good thing too...
White House Draws Fire for Requesting 'Fishy’ Information From Supporters on Health ReformThe White House is under fire for a blog post asking supporters to send "fishy" information received through rumors, chain e-mails and casual conversations to a White House e-mail address, flag@whitehouse.gov.
Oh my, I haven't even hit the "post button" yet and I believe I hear the "thought police" pulling in my driveway!

Well Hugo Chavez, like US democrats, believes in the fairness doctrine. Wonder how long it will be before Obama followed Chavez's lead?
Hugo Chavez Pulls 34 Radio Stations Off the AirChavez said Saturday that he approved the telecommunications agency's decision to shut down radio stations ruled to be operating illegally.
"We're applauding Diosdado for the decision he has made to take back these stations for the people," Chavez said, referring to agency chief Diosdado Cabello.

I am going to have to do some more thinking on the story below - The Medal of Honor, the highest award a military member can receive, is a great honor! I cannot put into words what it "stands for" to an active or past member of our military. Some reasons for the high level of respect is because it is not given easily, or lightly, and politics has relatively been left out of the awards process...
If we just look at WWII, 464 medals were given - a quick look puts the military deaths for WWII around
416,800 (
this is higher or lower depending on source)...meaning the Medal(s) of Honor awarded were just over 1% of the miltiary deaths.
We see there have been 4,000 death and 6 medals awarded...just over 1% - The numbers tell me they need not, should not, change a thing. Whatever is done or not done the honor can/must not be diminished, neither for future recipients or past...and if politics becomes the primary factor I fear this is inevitable. If I had to give an opinion today I would say - LET the process ALONE and RESPECT the traditions of the past!
Some Say Pentagon Not Awarding Enough Medals of Honor for IraqEight years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq. About 4,000 members of the U.S. military killed in action. More than 34,000 wounded. Just six considered worthy of America's highest military award for battlefield valor.
For some veterans and members of Congress, that last number doesn't add up.
They question how so few Medals of Honor -- all awarded posthumously -- could be bestowed for wars of such magnitude and duration

Wasn't the world suppose to love us after "the one" took office - I don't understand, the same rhetoric is coming out of North Korea...Change and hope, right?
N. Korea Vows to Punish U.S., S. Korea 'WarmongersNorth Korea vowed Tuesday to punish U.S. and South Korean "warmongers" after the American military said it would go ahead with annual joint exercises that Pyongyang calls an invasion rehearsal.
Well let's see - The
sultans of smart in our education system already want to teach America's children God couldn't have created the planet, every good child should be totally dependent on the government, there is not failure therefore no success, and now further
brainwashing that they can someone how "save the planet" by what choosing paper instead of plastic... Really GIVE ME A BREAK!
Environmental Lesson Plans Drawing Praise, ConcernCould environmental education be crossing into environmental indoctrination? Some critics say yes, as schools boast that such curricula simply is teaching children ways of caring for the earth.
Being a "good" student at Western Avenue Elementary School in Flossmoor, Ill., means more than just doing reading, writing and arithmetic well. It also means trying to save the planet.
I do not advocate nor participate in total abandonment and do think we should be good stewards of what GOD have given us; however, it is the arrogance of man to believe that simply their action can and will destroy this planet before the time and place of GOD's choosing... So if we cannot destory before God so chooses, how can we, you, save it????
One more question - A
few days last summer we had
record highs giving way to "global warming" rhetoric; however, we broke recodes from 1891 and 1902...what was killing the planet then, did they predict the end in 50 years, and what change????? Want to MAYBE convenience me accurately predict the weather tomorrow and we will talk!!!

Newsvine - Daschle withdraws nominationFaced with problems over back taxes and potential conflicts of interest, Tom Daschle withdrew his nomination on Tuesday to be President Barack Obama's Health and Human Services secretary.
Two in as many weeks...Let's all have an oversight and just apologize when the IRS comes calling. Which begs another question - Where has the IRS been in these two cases? Honest oversight or looking the other way on purpose...hmm!

PELOSI SAYS BIRTH CONTROL WILL HELP ECONOMY
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi boldly defended a move to add birth control funding to the new economic "stimulus" package, claiming "contraception will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government."
Pelosi, the mother of 5 children and 6 grandchildren, who once said, "Nothing in my life will ever, ever compare to being a mom," seemed to imply babies are somehow a burden on the treasury.
How much further a move would it be to say "abortion (selective) is needed to assist in managing the economy - Yep, I can see nothing but good things, in the recent move to make our "free" economy state ran, NOT!
