Monday, November 16th, 2009Quite by accident, I recently ran across an article by Walter Williams from over a year ago. As I read it, I realized that its as good an explanation as any for why so many people are waking up and getting involved in Tea Parties or otherwise speaking out to try to preserve our Constitutional [...]
Comprehensive Car Insurance to be Required by Law!!!
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009That’s right. Comprehensive (not just liability) car insurance to be required by Law!!!
Okay.. not really. But that would be the necessary comparison for the President to justify requiring people to buy health insurance as in the following article (not to mention as in the Pelosi bill).

As I think we all know (except maybe for those [...]
The Worst Bill Ever
Monday, November 2nd, 2009This article is from the Wall Street Journal Editorial Page and did not have an attributed author. This is not a “Tea Party” author but spelled out some of our concerns, so it seemed worth re-posting.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly told fellow Democrats that she’s prepared to lose seats in 2010 if that’s what it [...]
Driehaus Currently a “No” vote on Health Care
Monday, November 2nd, 2009I just hung up with his office. The staffer said he has issues with the current bill – particularly relating to abortion. He would vote no on the bill in its current form, but is working to get the abortion funding removed. It sounds like he is in favor of the remaining language, but the [...]

Clarify the Concept of “Rights”
Thursday, October 29th, 2009by Jack Painter
Do people have a right to health care?
The proponents of such a right seem to mean that people have a right to medical treatment even if they cannot afford it or, alternatively, have a right to require someone else to pay some or all of their health insurance costs.
Whatever that means precisely, they [...]
Baby Steps
Saturday, October 24th, 2009If you were following comments in this blog from “A Question of Representation,” you would have seen that people of opposing viewpoints agreed to meet on Friday to open dialogues over some common ground and better relationships amongst all of us.
It was fun.
Myself and Mike Wilson sat down with Coleman and Nathan who have posted [...]
A Question of Representation
Sunday, October 18th, 2009Organizing for America hosted a march in support of healthcare reform and the public option today (Oct 18th) at Fountain Square in Cincinnati. Tea Party supporters attended as well to offer an alternative to people in the square, passing out literature about healthcare reform from our perspective.
To provide some additional context for the event: [...]
Rush is Out
Thursday, October 15th, 2009It’s official: Rush Limbaugh has withdrawn as a minority participant in a group that is trying to buy the St. Louis Rams. This follows opposition to Rush’s participation from Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and, shamefully, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Such opposition, in turn, was fueled by false claims that Limbaugh has made various racist statements [...]
Where does money come from?
Thursday, October 8th, 2009It grows on trees… right? Perhaps a new tree named Obama?
I’m not a Rush fan (can’t listen to talk radio during the day anyway) but I did hear about his broadcast of the clips contained at the following link. Please listen to the following for the two clips from WJR radio.
