Since the 2008 Presidential election is already in motion the democrats have started their usual pandering to poor people in this country to rack up some votes.  I started thinking about the types of handouts and entitlements that the liberals and democrats have been complaining we need and need more of and realized it's quite a list. Welfare Food Stamps Medicine should be provided Health care should be provided Housing should be discounted or free Houses should be rebuilt if dest...

Welfare programs have been one of the biggest problems in todays society, and it keeps growing. Welfare programs do not help people, they make people rely on the government and that mindset is one of the biggest problems going today. I would like to see most welfare programs eliminated or severely cut. Now as the '08 election heats up democrats will no doubt use welfare/entitlement programs to pander to their base, which is what they typically do during every election cycle. Unfortunatel...

Good news. WASHINGTON - The Labor Department reported Thursday that consumer prices rose by 2.5 percent in 2006, the best showing since prices had increased by just 1.9 percent in 2003. The improvement came in spite of the fact that consumer prices jumped 0.5 percent in December, as gasoline prices staged a momentary rebound. The slowdown in inflation translated into more spending power for Americans. The government said average weekly earnings for non-supervisory workers rose by 2.1...

Don't listen to the gloom and doom crowd who cheer for democrats to raise taxes.  Worst economy since Hoover, poorer getting poorer, blah...blah...blah. WASHINGTON - The economy entered the new year in pretty good shape, with most parts of the country enjoying moderate growth, businesses boosting hiring and workers getting bigger paychecks. That mostly positive snapshot of business conditions around the country, released by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday, comes as the Uni...

Despite the obsessive rhetoric of people who desire nothing more than to blame Bush for everything, U.S. along with Afghan forces are making progress in the fight against jihadist coming in from Pakistan.There is still work to do, and there are some problems, but it is not out of control like propagandists want you to think. In spring and summer of 2006, Taliban fighters reasserted themselves in isolated communities in the country. However, U.S. and NATO forces pushed the Taliban fighters ...

Well it looks like Sen. Obama is tossing his hat in the ring also. I wonder what Hillary was doing this morning?

The rich are getting richer, nobody can find a job, worst economy since Hoover.  Blah, Blah, Blah. The gap between rich and poor -- a rallying cry for some congressional Democrats wanting to increase mandates on business -- isn't really growing that much, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. From 2001 to 2005 -- the last year data was available -- there was virtually no statistical change in income inequality, based on a statistical test by the Census Bureau, requested a...

You will constantly find the left referring to "polls" which they try to use to make people believe they are right.  However, polls have been shown to be media-driven, biased, and oversampled usually in favor of democrats.  So our liberal friends here seem to proclaim that since a poll shows a majority it should somehow become the way of law. How about we take a poll  and ask 1000 people if they prefer to live under sharia law?  In true media fashion we would obviousl...

Now here is a real waste of taxpayers dollars.  The brilliant TSA has decided to give "sensitivity" training to its workers on how not to offend muslims.  Whats even better is they invited CAIR, which has been implicated with terrrorist organizations a "walk through" of security procedures.  Doesn't that make you feel safer? The Transportation Security Administration – created after 9/11 to safeguard America's airports – is providing Islamic sensitivity training to 45,000 airp...

Now in the next several days you will hear the conspiracy theories coming from the left, and their strange reactions to the execution of this brutal dictator.  The left wing sites are already mourning the passing of Saddam, so lets take a look at some of their more "memorable" quotes. ""Saddam Hussein is dead. He was murdered today by the Iraqi government with the assistance of the United States government." "They say the greats always go in threes. James Brown, Gerald Ford, and Sadda...

Now anybody with any sense realizes that polls are media driven and biased to say the least.  However, our resident leftist proclaims polls are always right, so lets take a look at the latest poll being used as liberal talking points and assume it's accurate. Bush won the villain sweepstakes by a landslide , with one in four respondents putting him at the top of that bad-guy list. When people were asked to name the candidate for villain that first came to mind, Bush far outdistanced e...

More good news from the economy. Retail sales in the U.S. rose for the first time since July as shoppers took advantage of early holiday discounts, increasing the odds the economy will withstand the slump in housing. Sales jumped 1.0 percent last month, more than forecast, after a revised 0.1 percent drop in October that was less than previously estimated, the Commerce Department said today in Washington. Purchases excluding motor vehicles rose 1.1 percent, the most since January. C...

You just have wonder what goes through the minds of these liberal students and the professors who teach them. NEW YORK —  New York City college students who share a community room named for an escaped cop killer called the fugitive their hero Tuesday as the school's officials demanded the removal of the honor. A handful of campus groups at the City College of New York commended the school for allowing them to work in the name of domestic "terrorist" Assata Shakur ...

At a recent speech held at Columbia University, the Iranian Ambassador Javad Zarif , started in with the rhetoric that you will find on any liberal website. "Nobody in Lebanon wants a religious government," he said. "Don't consume whatever is fed by FOX News." Now when you first read this it sounds like typical rhetoric from Howard Dean, or any other person who leans that way, but this is coming from a fanatic from Iran.  I wonder where he learned about the Fox News rhetori...

Now democrats are declaring this is not true, but would it surprise anyone if it were true? Hamas met with a delegation of "important Democrats" who expressed interest in relations with the Palestinian terror group even if it doesn't recognize the right of Israel to exist, a Palestinian news website claimed today. Maannews quoted a source in the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority stating the terror group felt it important to meet with members of the Democratic Party since, the Hamas sour...
