Rush Has Gotten it all Wrong

by Unca Jake02.18.2009 Barack Hussein Obama

Normally I stream Rush Limbaugh at my desk, actually I listen to Glenn Beck first then follow it up with Rush. Since the election though, I haven’t been listening to nearly as much as I normally do because the news is just too depressing. Every day there seems to be a new townhall meeting [...]

Too Small to Consider?

by Unca Jake01.30.2009 Congress

I have been hearing a lot over the past several weeks about big corporations and how they are screwing the American People by paying bonuses, salaries, buying corporate jets, etc.  What I haven’t heard much about is integrity, committment, honor, etc.
Companies don’t operate from the seat of their pants normally speaking.  Salaries and bonuses aren’t [...]

Babies Bigtime Budget Busters

by Unca Jake01.29.2009 Congress

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi intimates babies are a drain to our nation.  Contraception is a major piece of the stimulus package because according to Pelosi it will save states money.  Obviously, that makes Nancy Pelosi a poster child for Prophylactics.  It’s something she believes in.  Whoop-te-friggin-do!

Maybe It’s a Good Thing

by Unca Jake01.28.2009 Barack Hussein Obama

Republicans are bummed out that the Democratic party is in control.  If they want to, the Democrats can push through any piece of legislation they desire without anything more than vocal protests.  President Obama has made it clear during his first week in office that it was going to be his way or the highway, [...]

Madam Speaker, your Slip is Showing

by Unca Jake09.29.2008 Economy

Michael Scherer of Swampland quotes House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as saying “…Democrats believe in the free market, which can and does create jobs, wealth, and capital, but left to its own devices it has created chaos. …” Pardon me Madam Speaker, but isn’t that a contradiction in terms? How can the Democrats believe in [...]

Our Great White (headed) Hope

by Unca Jake05.06.2008 Barack Hussein Obama

I was leery of John McCain from the beginning. I was actually looking forward to voting for Duncan Hunter, but he dropped out of the race before I had a chance. I thought about becoming a Fred Head, but alas, he didn’t make it either. I ended up voting for Mitt, just [...]

Health Care: The Looming Crisis

by Unca Jake04.11.2008 Conservatism

I was reminded today of something I read in the London Telegraph a few weeks ago. The Brits, Lord love ‘em, have a law requiring patients going to the emergency room to be seen within, I believe it was 4 hours from the time they entered the ER. That is the government, concerned [...]

Welcome!

by Unca Jake04.11.2008 Conservatism

This won’t be a long post, but I did want to get something up on here so it didn’t look empty. It will take me a bit of time to shake out the cobwebs and get things on here the way I like them, and I will probably run through several themes before I [...]
