Joseph Andrew Stack flew a small plane today into an office building in Austin, Texas that housed an IRS office in it. I, as I am sure many Americans watched the events unfold on the news with hope that no one was killed or seriously injured. Initially the reports where 2 hospitalized one missing. Now it appears they have found 2 bodies in the wreckage.
As the investigators unraveled the puzzle certain things came to be seen. The alleged pilot set his house on fire and before he undertaking this act he left behind a six page diatribe on the internet attacking everything from organized religion to the IRS. From President Bush to President Obama. Complaining of the GM Bailout, politicians, and “the joke we call the American medical system”.
As I read his “manifesto” it dawned on me that this dude had some serious issues. Not just that but reading his rant in its entirety I could not place where he stood politically. Some of the rant sounded like a Conservative while others hit me as being quite Liberal. So as any reasonable person would have done I decided to let the investigators do there jobs and not try point the partisan [Continue...]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is pinning the blame on Republicans for a lack of bipartisanship in Congress and plans to bypass them if they continue to oppose efforts to enact near-universal health care.
“A constitutional majority is 51 votes,” Pelosi said in an interview Tuesday with Roll Call. “If in fact the Republicans are going to say nothing can be done except by 60 percent, then maybe we all should be elected with 60 percent. It isn’t legitimate in terms of passing legislation.”

First and foremost I do not condone the actions of Tiger Woods. That said I do feel the media as well as many people are over reacting about something that should be between him and his wife. For the past month all I have been hearing about is Woods and the many affairs he had. Hell, it seems it took a kook with a bomb in his panties to get people focused on something other than Woods and his affairs. Is it me or does it appear the liberal media has made a bigger deal about Tigers many affairs than it really was?
Thinking back it appear this is all the media. Whenever the media has a chance to sling mud on anyone who at one time could be construed as a decent person they attack as a shark attacks when blood is in the water. Circling the carcass until there is little left. That coupled with the fact that the whole Tiger affair took our eyes off the real story which is the Democrats pushing a sub par health care bill down our proverbial gullets. Most Americans it seems are easily distracted, and when a star the caliber of Tiger Woods is set for [Continue...]

Former 9/11 Commission official Lee H. Hamilton said Wednesday the United States has made progress in uncovering and foiling terrorist plots since 2001 but that President Obama and Congress are too impassive in their efforts.
“It takes political leadership to change that,” said Mr. Hamilton, a former congressman and member of the president’s Homeland Security Advisory Council. “Homeland security and the whole process has to rise to the level of priority that has not yet been achieved.”

On August 31, I headed to the health care town hall meeting of my congressional representative, Jan Schakowsky (D-IL). I suspected that she planned to stack the meeting with paid organizers, after she vowed on Real Time with Bill Maher to bring “millions” of people into the streets to support the so-called “public option.” So I brought a video camera.

President Barack Obama recently called Rep. John Conyers Jr. to express his frustrations with the Judiciary Committee chairman’s criticism.
In an interview with The Hill, Conyers said his opinions of Obama’s policies on healthcare reform and the war in Afghanistan have not sat well with the president.
According to the lawmaker, the president picked up the phone several weeks ago to find out why Conyers was “demeaning” him.

Last night after dinner I decided to take a peek at Fox News to get a little news. And while watching the Bill O’Reilly show I watched as guest after guest talked about Sarah Palin and her new book/media blitz. Soon Bernie Goldberg came on for his segment and when Mr. O’Reilly asked him about the media and their contempt for Sarah Palin Mr. Goldberg I believe hit the ball out of the park with his answer. He answered Liberals do not hate Palin because she is a Conservative woman they hate her because she is like Middle America and liberals detest Middle America.
Is it fair to assume Liberals do in fact detest Middle America? Not sure, but I will be the first to tell you their are many other groups liberals detest. Here is a short list of a few groups many Liberals detest and why I feel they hate these groups.
The Military— Many Liberals share a firm dislike for the military more or less because how much it cost to keep our country safe. Many Liberals would be happier using the money spent on the greatest military on the planet instead on more failed social policies or agencies. [Continue...]
