Obama: The Great Jobs Killer
The current occupant of the White House claims to know how to create jobs. He claims jobs have been created. But so far, the score is Great Obama Depression: 2.2 million lost jobs / Obama – 0 – a blowout. Obama is as hopeless, helpless, clueless and bankrupt of good ideas as the manager of the Chicago Cubs in late September. This “community organizer” knows as much about private sector jobs as Pamela Anderson knows about nuclear physics. It’s time to call Obama what he is – “the great jobs killer.” With his massive spending and tax hikes – rewarding big government and big unions, while punishing taxpayers and business owners – Obama has killed jobs, he has killed motivation to create new jobs, he has killed the motivation to invest in new businesses, or expand old ones. As far as the taxpayers – the people that actually take risks with our own money, to create small businesses, and jobs, and pay most of the taxes – we now require protection under the Endangered Species Act.

Federal Judge Overturns Obama Moratorium On Deep Water Drilling
By Tim Connolly
Obama temporarily halted all drilling in waters deeper than 500 feet on May 27 to give a presidential commission time to study improvements in the safety of offshore operations. More than a dozen Louisiana offshore service and supply companies sued U.S. regulators to lift the ban. U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman granted a preliminary injunction, halting the moratorium. Government lawyers told Feldman that ban was based on findings in a U.S. report following the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig off the Louisiana coast in April; experts that formulated the report have disputed the administration’s claims and have stated that the moratorium was added to their findings AFTER THEY PUBLISHED THE REPORT AND WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION.

G-19: The U.S. Stands Alone
By Bill Glynn
Greece’s debt was over 120% of GDP when it hit a brick wall. The U.S. debt is now over 90% of GDP. While other nations around the world have mountains of debt, too, the U.S. economy is seen as able to sustain its debt levels and continue to be able to finance more deficit spending. Well, it was clear from the G-19 members that the U.S. stands alone in this assumption. The administration pushed hard for the rest of the world to continue to borrow and spend to assure the global economic recovery is sustained. But the U.S. has signaled through Timothy Geithner that America won’t be able to take on the burden of carrying the rest of the world on our back anymore. So, the world is undergoing tax hikes and spending reduction while we trumpet more stimulus that hasn’t worked already. The recovery is fragile at best and I do expect a dip coming. The “double dip” we are already teetering on looms and the plan is to borrow our way out of it and flood the market with more of our currency. This is a recipe for disaster. [more...]
‘Twilight’ Reveals Vampire-Style Traditional Values
By James Hirsen
“Eclipse,” the latest installment in the phenomenal “Twilight” series, is generating Internet tweets and posts from fans who can’t wait to see the parade of new movie icons that appear in the franchise. Stephenie Meyer, a Mormon, wrote the best-selling novels, which were transformed into screenplays that have captured the imagination of tweens, teens, and even adults. A number of critics, however, have expressed discomfort with some of the values that are found in the “Twilight” stories.
Bella’s marriage to Edward has traditional romantic aspects, particularly when it comes to the notion of nuptials lasting forever. She stays away from alcohol and cigarettes and also chooses to avoid coffee and tea, just like the author who created her. When abortion is suggested because Bella’s child is half vamp, she summarily rejects the idea. She often engages in traditional domestic roles such as preparing meals and cleaning, which undoubtedly tweaks feminist extremists. [more...]
