I wonder if he will agree with me.
Liberal = pursuit of happiness, group over individuals
Republican = life, individual choice

Praying Causes Irreparable Harm

Suzi — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 03:30:43 +0000

A federal judge has ordered a Texas school district to prohibit public prayer at a high school graduation ceremony.
…
The ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed by Christa and Danny Schultz. Their son is among those scheduled to participate in Saturday’s graduation ceremony. The judge declared that the Schultz family and their son would “suffer irreparable harm” if anyone prayed at the ceremony.

Political Calculations asks if the US has become a banana republic. It looks like the answer is yes.

Integrity

Apparently the president has a lack of integrity. He agreed to the budget cuts that defunded four of his “czars.” Then after the budget was signed, he said he was going to ignore that part.

I know it’s Fox News, but they are a news source. And they are at least as reliable as anyone else.

Conference Politics

I forgot how uncomfortable the presentation of Republicans and half the nation as anti-intellectuals who were evil becomes when you are at a conference.

The speakers assume that everyone is a strongly left liberal. They use “we” and “our” in response to hate of Gingrich and Palin. All about how stupid the people are who believe these things, also including the mainstream media (what are they reading?), it is very frustrating.

It really frustrates me when I am trying to listen to something that has nothing to do with politics.

Blackfive has an article on DADT.

It’s worth a read for one military perspective–and some numbers you won’t find in the mainstream media.

Other People’s Money

Margaret Thatcher said:

“…and Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They [socialists] always run out of other people’s money. It’s quite a characteristic of them.”
