The Disrespect of Senator Kamala Harris
The disrespect of Senator Kamala Harris during hearings in recent days reminds us that we are not as civilized a society as some would like to believe. This type of disrespect, especially to someone with such an impressive background, simply wreaks of prejudice and entitlement. If that were not the case, then you would see […]
MoreTHE RESISTANCE
I listened as they called my President a Muslim. I listened as they called him and his family a pack of monkeys. I listened as they said he wasn’t born here. I watched as they blocked every single path to progress that they could. I saw the pictures of him as Hitler. I watched them […]
MoreMcChrystal’s Ego
Is it just me, or does anyone else have concern over a General who thinks of himself so highly that he is offended when the Commander in Chief does not acknowledge his presence? This is not the type of ego that will serve us well as a nation, regardless of which party you “cling” to. […]
MoreChances are You Still Can’t Afford Insurance – until 2014

Apparently, 5 justices of our Supreme Court believe that it should include groups and not just individuals. However, how can they justify the fact that many of “we […]
MoreFirst time home buyers tax credit
There’s so much information and mis-information going around about the first time buyer’s house tax credit, that I thought I would list the facts, as they stand right now. Currently, the tax credit is for first time home buyers. The purchased home must be closed on between January 1, 2009 and December 1, 2009. (A […]
MoreRights in America
Every time they start to take away one of our rights here in America… they start with what seems to be a “small” thing. This “small” thing promises to make life better for everyone. Example 1 : Car insurance – We are forced to buy car insurance to take care of our car and anyone […]
MoreHealth Reform Facts
The health reform plan that the senate panel has approved for presentation to the full house and senate is not as bad as many people would have us believe. In fact, I think it’s the best plan so far. I am tired of so many people telling me what it’s going to do, which is […]
MoreFDA Publishes Problem Drugs on Web
As of yesterday, September 5th, the FDA has finally posted a page at their website listing the top 20 potentially harmful drugs in compliance with a bill passed by Congress last year forcing them to report potentially unsafe drugs to consumers.
