Boycott Progressive Insurance

September 10th, 2010 | No Comments

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, [...]

Flying drones to make sure illegals get paid fairly?

June 24th, 2010 | 1 Comment

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 [...]

Healthcare reform and the Older Americans Act

June 10th, 2010 | No Comments

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.  [...]

February 11th, 2010 | No Comments

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.

Pat Quinn and the SEIU

November 4th, 2009 | No Comments

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.

More change we can believe in

September 10th, 2009 | No Comments

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, [...]

Health Care Reform scare tactics

September 3rd, 2009 | 2 Comments

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 [...]

September 3rd, 2009 | No Comments

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 [...]

Who ya gonna trust, EIA or your local electric company?

August 10th, 2009 | No Comments

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 [...]

How the health care supporters are finally getting organized

August 10th, 2009 | 1 Comment

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 [...]
