By: Pamela D. Hart Here we go again! Obama wants to stimulate the economy and create jobs with…yep you guessed it, STIMULUS! And we know how well THAT worked in 2009! Those Shovel Ready jobs weren’t as shovel ready as they expected, we found out two years later, although, those of us on the Right knew they weren’t, but hey, why listen to us, we only wanted jobs created by the private sector, not TAX dollars. And that’s what Obama is proposing now…or so the “leaked” info says. According to the information “leaked” to the press , once President Obama returns to the White House after his vacation, he’s going to propose targeted tax breaks for companies that hire, mortgage relief for struggling homeowners and infrastructure deals…um didn’t we do that in 2009? Wasn’t that part of the almost one trillion in so-called stimulus? This is déjà vu! And it’s going to be déjà vu all over again with results. We NEED private sector jobs, NOT jobs created by tax dollars. Even Jan Sch...

By: Pamela D. Hart As many of you know, I’ve been on a little hiatus from politics, and for you newcomers, you can catch up here . You also know that I’m a strong voice for ethics, good character, and just plain old honesty. So, imagine my surprise when I turned on Bill O’Reilly, whom I haven’t seen in well over two months, and there smack dab in the middle of my TV screen was none other than Charlie Rangel, and listed beneath his name was Congressman (D-NY)! I sat there, my mouth agape, staring at the television, for ten minutes, as Bill O’Reilly didn’t just interview Rangel, but actually argued with him! Yes, he WASTED time arguing with a convicted CHEAT, who STILL holds public office! Now, you might ask, why am I upset about this? Well, because it’s bad enough that our Treasury Secretary is a tax CHEAT and signs our money—even if it isn’t worth much these days. And now to have the Tax Ways and Means Committee Chairman found GUILTY on 12/13 counts of ethics VIOLATIONS and be censur...

Folks, I am amongst the first to criticize and blame the politicians we have elected to govern us for much. In a very vocal way I have hammered the very government we selected for just about everything that is wrong with America today. And in my mind the criticisms are justified. With our huge unsustainable  national debt , annual deficits running into a billion plus dollars, our continued ill advised and unnecessary interventionist foreign policy decisions, our incessant demand for more and more social welfare programs, our eagerness to accept money from the Fed for pork barrel projects that benefit only our home state or district, and continued voter apathy that results in business as usual in Washington are part and sum of the problem. At the same time we want lower taxes, better government services, a military that has become the worlds police force, and a government that...
