Gays Attack Grandmother At California Rally

Not sure the gay community is helping itself here.  Watch toward the end.

Thank you Veterans!

Dear Veterans and newly-minted soldiers.  Please note that despite the election of Barack Obama, good, honest, God loving Americans deeply appreciate your determination and sacrifice and are eternally grateful to you for it.  We could not be the great nation we are, albeit one where dolts are allowed to vote and elect the inept, without your continued determination and sacrifice.  

We will work hard to ensure that Congress and our new president see the wisdom in continuing to provide the funding and support you need.

We are forever indebted to you, and pray for your health and safety every single day.  My flag flies today, and everyday, in honor of you.  Thank you!

Arizona Supreme Court Responds

I received the following email from the Communications Director of the Arizona Supreme Court, Cari Gerchick.  In the interest of fairness, I thought I'd print her rebuttal to the news that the Arizona Supreme Court is banning certain language in order to protect the sensitivities of illegal aliens.  Read original post here.  Read my response to her below her email.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Your website currently has on it a story stating that words were banned from Arizona courtrooms. Please know that despite internet and media information to the contrary, the Chief Justice has not banned the use of any words in the court system. Arizona's Code of Judicial Conduct requires that judges be "patient, dignified and courteous" to all who appear in the courts. In accord with that direction, our judges make every attempt to be respectful and courteous in court proceedings.

If I may be of any other assistance, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Cari Gerchick, Esq.

Communications Director

Arizona Supreme Court

Ms. Gerchick,

Your email seems to indicate that while no words are "banned," certain words may no longer be used because of the potential that they may be found to be offensive to people who have allegedly committed crimes.   This, to me, is political correctness way out of control.   Soon we will be calling rapes "inadvertent sexual opportunities," to soften their meaning.

Until such time as I receive clarification from the court that no language will be banned OR discouraged on the grounds that it may be insensitive, I will stick with my story.

Respectfully,

Lighthouse Keeper

Obama Refuses to Call On Fox News & Washington Times Reporters

During today's press conference, President-Elect Barack Obama refused to answer questions from reporters representing Fox News and The Washington Times - two media outlets known for fairness and objectivity. Instead, Obama fielded softball questions from friendly leftist media outlets.

On another note, Obama said today that he had spoken to all of the previous "living" presidents. Then, in an effort to cover that idiotic remark, he slammed Nancy Reagan's use of astrology.

Obama's attack on a former first lady is the first of its kind on a non-political presidential spouse in historic memory. How classless.

AZ Judge Bans Use Of “Illegal” and “Aliens”

Arizona’s Supreme Court chief justice Ruth McGregor has agreed to enforce the Hispanic Bar Association’s demands of banning the terms “illegal” and “aliens” in all of the state’s courtrooms.  Read story...

This is hilarious in that its so damn stupid, but even funnier because no crimes can be called "illegal in court," and thus, everything must be legal!!!!!  Feel free to commit crimes at will!

Byrd, Former Klan Leader & Democrat Senator Steps Down

Robert Byrd, former Ku Klux Klan leader and long standing US Senator from West Virginia is stepping down from the leadership of the Senate Appropriations Committee, reportedly so he can spend time burning crosses on the White House lawn, starting in January.  Byrd, the oldest serving senator, probably should have stepped down 40 years ago when he was 80.  Read story...

Napolitano Named to Obama's Transgender Team

Make that the Transition Team, sorry.  In any case, the faster we get General Napolitano out of the state the faster we can clean up her mess.    Read Story...

Obama/Democrat Stimulus A Payback To Unions

Debate for a second stimulus package has begun in earnest in Washington, but what's interesting is the reason for it.  With plenty of money already allocated but not doled out for highway construction and repairs, and loan packages approved but not yet delivered to automakers, it's curious why Democrats are considering a second stimulus package when the already approved funds sit in accounts.

One need not look far to sort out the reason for the additional stimulus.  The new stimulus dollars, according to most reports, would not go to individual taxpayers as was the case with the Bush stimulus, but to companies employing huge numbers of union workers. 

Why?  

Democrats owe unions for the Obama win.   Union leaders overwhelmingly support Democrat candidates, and often force workers to work on behalf of candidates.  Thus, in an effort to payback the unions, Democrats are going to steer dollars their way as a thank you.

And it doesn't stop there.  Democrats are also poised to virtually guarantee forced union membership by revoking the American right to a secret ballot.  Thus, if a union member doesn't vote the way the union boss wants, the member will end up next to Jimmy Hoffa.

This is only the beginning of the unethical onslaught we will witness with Democrats controlling both houses of congress and the White House.

Pro Women? Woman in labor forced to walk a mile to hospital from Obama rally

If it were a Palin rally, there would have been thousands of people around willing to help her deliver, find an ambulance or drive her to the hospital.  That said, I must give credit to any woman who supports Obama and who is willing to walk a mile to have a baby.  Read Story...
