In a movement to protect traditional marriage, John Marcotte is attempting to ban divorce in California.
He has received the okay from the Secretary of State and needs to collect 694,354 signatures by March 22, 2010. If he accomplishes this feat, the issue would be on the ballot next year.
Marcotte [...]
Update: Additional parts of the strategy are now available (or I have become aware of them). The troop drawdown will begin in three years, some troops will remain for years, troops’ goals are to reverse Taliban gains and secure population centers, there will be an emphasis on the quality of [...]
Russia and China have always been hesitant to side with the West when dealing with countries like Iran, but they both sided with an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) decision to censure Iran.
The fact that China and Russia are on board with the censure is bad news for Iran [...]
In the battle for Congress, 41 is the crucial number.
The story is mostly about what the republicans need to do to take back the House in the 2010 Mid-Term Elections. But going back to an earlier post where I said that Herseth-Sandlin’s vote was a political ploy to show [...]
Possible GOP Nominees. Will it be Lou Dobbs (who says it isn’t crazy)? Will it be Palin (which I know is crazy? Or will it be Palin/Beck (which she won’t rule out)?
Any of these possibilities is enough to make me think that there might be something to that [...]
In just one week, President Obama will unveil his decision regarding what to do in Afghanistan.
No doubt moderate liberals will love it, all conservatives will hate it, and liberal liberals will hate it. (It would be a nice change of pace for this trend to differ somehow.)
Enjoy the anticipation.
Adam [...]
Fox News will now be seriously attempting to stop making errors. Stewart busted Hannity for footage that made a protest look much bigger than it was, and they made a similar mistake later in the week. It appears the final straw was using the wrong Palin cover, instead showing [...]
Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Psalm 109:8-9
An imprecatory prayer is one that wishes a curse upon someone. I never really associated it with Christianity because it seemed like Jesus wasn’t about revenge or anything like [...]
“How could you say that?” you ask. Then you obviously haven’t been watching the news. Let me give you the dirty details: our president bowed to Japan’s emperor.
That’s right. On his recent trip, Barack Obama had the audacity to bow to another world leader.
How weak are we? How dare we [...]
I do not understand why people are upset that the United States is living up to the rule of law and its ideals. What better way to show the terrorists that they cannot destroy our ideals than convicting one of their own according to said ideals? It just makes sense [...]
You may have noticed I haven’t been writing as much as usual lately (though the prosperity gospel piece was pretty long – also, where are the comments on that?), and it’s because I just haven’t seen much I want to write about. That being the case, I’m going to write [...]
I have argued that the Republican Party is fractured, and much of that evidence is the more extreme portion of the tea party protesters. They have the Obama as Hitler stuff and the birther people, and some politicians support some aspects of it. At any rate, this made (makes) me [...]
The Atlantic has an interesting article about prosperity gospel. It has the provocative title “Did Christianity Cause the Crash?”, but that’s not exactly what it is about. It is about a specific form (some would say incorrect form) of Christianity that leads believers to put their faith in Jesus [...]
Palin spoke in Wisconsin recently and her paranoia seeped out. There were no cameras, cell phones, laptops, press, etc. allowed, but politico did get in. Palin discussed some changes that have been occurring, such as moving the phrase “In God We Trust” from the center of new coins [...]
Senator Linsdsey Graham (R-SC) has been censured for working with Democrats on a climate change bill. Apparently he has ruined the party brand or something. I guess he can’t have his own opinions, he must blindly toe the party line.
Don’t we want our politicians to make decisions based on [...]
To those who have served, and to those are currently serving this great country, I offer you my thanks!
[...]First and foremost, Adam our left winged blogger is going to an uncle as his sister is expecting their first child in March. Congrats to them…
She is blogging on another American News blog about parenting and raising children and going through pregnancy.
Right now she is asking for help on names [...]
Read what Gov. Mike Rounds-R, SD says the health care bill passed by the house would do to the South Dakota Budget
Gov. says House health bill would bust SD budget
Just think, If South Dakota is having problems, I can’t imagine what it will do to states like California and [...]
For you Republicans out there thinking that Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin, D-SD is not so bad after all you might want to think again. Before any big vote in the house or senate, the leading party sits down and talks about what votes they can give away. Herseth-Sandlin was one of them.
Before [...]
Update: It appears there were three shooters. One has been shot and killed and two are in custody. They were apparently soldiers. Let’s hope there were no others involved. Of the shooting victims 12 were killed and 31 wounded.
Barack Obama names Alan Moore Official White House Biographer.
This would be awesome. Moore has written such masterpieces as Watchmen, V, and From Hell. We’ve already seen Obama in a Spiderman comic, and Moore could really do some work with this administration. I picture the theme of the graphic novel [...]
RNC Chair Michael Steele claims the GOP has no ideological divisions. I am not sure I agree. The GOP has seemed fractured for some time.
The whole thing was brought up by a congressional race in New York’s 23rd Distrcit. Dede Scozzafava, the Republican nominee, eventually dropped out after Doug [...]
If you read this in real time (as I know the millions of you do), hurry up and flip it to ESPN. The Wizards are playing the Heat. That means South Dakota’s own Mike Miller is going to light Dwayne Wade up on national TV. Give it to him [...]
That’s the only explanation I can come up with. Why else would they endorse the House’s health care bill? That’s right. The American Association of Retired Persons is behind the bill put together by noted grandmother killers like Nancy Pelosi.
What is this world coming to? Either seniors won’t [...]
I would like to congratulate Gov-elect Chris Christie and Bob McDonnell for taking back the Governor’s chair in New Jersey and Virginia respectively.
I hope this is a sign of things to come for the GOP

I didn’t think I could rob you of these great Halloween photos.
Adam and Amanda
Amanda is dressed as me and I am dressed as her. If you haven’t been to Nebraska on a game day, you may not realize that Amanda is in my classic game-day [...]
It was a universe filled with contradictions. My captors assailed the West for killing civilians, but they celebrated suicide attacks orchestrated by the Taliban that killed scores of Muslim bystanders. They bitterly denounced missionaries, but they pressed me to convert to their faith. They complained about innocent Muslims being imprisoned [...]
State the obvious right…but each clunker that was traded in cost the American Tax-payer $24,000. Thats almost the price of a new car.
Clunkers: Taxpayers paid $24,000 per car
And yet, they still want to control America’s Health Care System!
[...]First Lady requires more than twenty attendants
You would think that in this time of trying to save american tax dollars, you would try to save where ever you could. Just my thoughts
