All the More Reason to Boycott Citgo

Tin horn dictator Chavez threatens to cut off oil to the U.S.

Because?

Speaking at a political rally, Chavez warned of a military attack from Colombia, and accused the United States of being behind such an attack.

“The Yankee empire has no limit to its manipulation,” Chavez said.

Gee, I thought he and our POTUS were friends.

Guess not.

Dean Accuses But Won’t Answer Question

Imagine that. Former DNC Chair Howard Dean spinning a story to make FOXNews a villian.

Too bad that Chris Wallace called him on it.

Why is it that Dean, and others like him, insist on being idiots and lie to us?

1st Amendment Is In Danger

And we thought the Disclose Act was perhaps done with.

It may not be.

Flood the phones folks.

Minimum Wage Hurts Teen Employment

And how is that you may ask? It has been one year since the minimum wage was increased to $7.25. That’s 41% more than it was.

Here’s a blog referencing the Wall Street Journal article. Unfortunately, by going to WSJ you have to have an account to read the entire article. But the important part is shown within that blog.

Here’s my concern. Thinking about how companies don’t have control over a “minimum wage” is it any wonder that some of these companies are willing to risk hiring illegal aliens and paying less? You know, for doing the work “no American wants to do?”

Kinda flies in the face of reality, I’d say. Cause and effect, that is all this is.

Government mandates a minimum wage increase.
Small business companies can’t afford to pay.
Willing to pay less by hiring cheaper, illegal aliens.
Our people can’t get jobs because of that.

Future For AZ SB1070?

Not if the POTUS gets his way.

Some insightful comments about what may be the future of SB 1070 after court proceedings by Professor Jacobson. Smart guy.

Still, from what I read from this, it doesn’t solve the financial hit(s) we suffer from this situation.

Some Kids Without Healthcare

It seems the law of unintended consequences has hit yet again.

The major types of coverage for children — employer plans and government programs — are not be affected by the disruption. But a subset of policies — those that cover children as individuals — may run into problems. Even so, insurers are not canceling children’s coverage already issued, but refusing to write new policies.

Why can’t our legislators learn? Haven’t they any grey matter at all?
(Sorry. I knew the answer yet posed the questions anyway.)

Preempting the DOJ

“How is there a preemption issue?” the judge asked. “I understand there may be other issues, but you’re arguing preemption. Where is the preemption if everybody who is arrested for some [edit:other] crime has their immigration status checked?

I couldn’t agree more.

“Why can’t Arizona be as inhospitable as they wish to people who have entered or remained in the United States?” U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton asked in a pointed exchange with Deputy Solicitor General Edwin S. Kneedler. Her comment came during a rare federal court hearing in the Justice Department’s lawsuit against Arizona and Gov. Jan Brewer (R).

Timing Is Everything

To comedians, to actors, to watchmakers, to …. ACORN????

At the exact time of President Obama signing the financial regulations bill into law today, leftist radicals from (former? Missouri) ACORN assaulted a Chase Bank sales branch in a suburb of St Louis.

Is that collusion in the air I smell? Well, it isn’t perfume. Waaaaaaay too many flies here.

Louisiana Gov Jindal Gets It

What the real story is, however, is that our federal government (aka, POTUS) most certainly does not get it about the gulf drilling moratorium.

Incomprehensible. Unbelievable. Playing dice with our future this way.
