This email has been making the rounds according to snopes: This is a heads up regarding Progressive Auto Insurance. You know who they are. They’re the ones with the clever television ads featuring the perky brunette actress all dressed in white. What you might not know is that the chairman of Progressive is Peter Lewis, [...]

This is indicative of the complete chaos coming out of the Obama administration at this time. And, given liberal philosophy, it won’t stop. The Obama Department of Labor just spent your money to put together an advertising campaign letting illegal workers know they have rights to minimum wage standards. In Spanish. They don’t have one [...]

Barack Obama threw the entire country under the bus with his health care “reform”. People I know immediately made decisions affecting their very lives based on assumptions Obama said would occur, fully knowing they never would. How many people made the argument that it would require everyone to have insurance? Go ahead, raise your hands. [...]

Well, not exactly. Two headlines did catch my eye tonight tho: Hundreds Forced Into Ohio Sex Trade, Report Says and Private Entrepreneurs Forced Into Unions Which is worse? After you’ve leaped to your conclusion, read both stories. In one story, the government is trying to stop something. In the other, it’s the one doing it.

Rod Blagojevich, among other things, was accused of pay to play with SEIU. He got ran out of the governor’s office. On September 14, 2009, Pat Quinn released this video: Quinn immediately signed an executive order allowing collective bargaining for in-home workers. Most of these workers are family who live in the home in the [...]

Prostitution used to be illegal in most of the country. Now it’s “performance art”. Child prostitution used to be a crime, now it’s a deduction. Social activism at its best! We must not let one bad ACORN ruin it for all the others though. My problem is figuring which ACORN is the worst. This one, [...]

Barack Obama is concerned about scare tactics in regards to the health care debate: President Barack Obama, whose effort to revamp U.S. health insurance has run into angry protests and slumping public approval, urged Americans to ignore opposition “scare tactics” fanning baseless fears about Democratic health-care plans. Nancy Pelosi is too: “People should not be [...]

Here’s the story: The AFL-CIO labor union has a new tax in mind. Specifically, the union wants to apply a small tax — a tenth of 1 percent — on every stock transaction. The tax would especially target firms that use so-called high-frequency trading, which uses technology to oversee many transactions in the blink of [...]

The Energy Information Administration, who touts themselves as “Official Energy Statistics from the US Government”, released a rather astounding conclusion. While most people have been scare-mongering by saying Waxman-Markey will practically bankrupt most lower income people through much higher energy prices, EIA says this is not true at all: ACESA increases energy prices, but effects [...]

They’re calling in the SEIU of course. The advantages of this of course are obvious: They’re already organized and staffed. You don’t have to worry about paying them since they’re on salary. If you’re a Democrat, you don’t have to question their loyalty. You don’t have to worry about explaining what the issue is. You [...]
