Goodbye Arland!

Apr 28, 2009 Posted Under: opinion, politics

  This is a great day for the Republican Party when Arland (sphincter) Specter leaves the party for the Democrats.  For the record he and his buddy John McCain have been stabbing the Republican Party in the back for years.  They are what the conservatives call RINO, or Republican in Name Only.  This is a [...]

This day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus after being crucified.  His death and resurrection was a necessary action to pay for our sins.  To a Christian this is probably the most important day of the year as it reminds us to be grateful for the sacrifice Jesus did for us.  This day has nothing [...]

I was amazed that it was not [...]

Photo ID To Vote

Apr 02, 2009 Posted Under: opinion, politics

There is currently a bill headed to Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry that would require people to show a photo identification (ID) before being allowed to vote.  I have spoken many times about how the Republican party is becoming more liberal by the day  and the Democrats are off the charts.  It is difficult to imagine [...]

Never Go To The Government

Our beloved General Motors has just been made a public example why you should never go to the government for assistance.  I do not care if you are on the verge of homelessness, never EVER go to the government for help.  When you do this, you are forfeiting your freedoms and subjecting yourself to humiliation.  [...]
