Obama pushing behind scenes to win over big-dollar donors - The Washington Post

This is sickening! How much of our tax money is being spent on the president's campaigning. Disgraceful!! Disgusting!! Should a public servent be out spending all this time and all of this tax payer money towards his re-election? Hell no!!! It should be common sense that this is immoral and unethical. Apparently we need to make it law that you can't spend any resources, time or money, deferred to you by the citizens whom you serve toward campaigning.
 
Think about it; does the president even need any more publicity? He's speaking, all over, on the TV every day. His fruit should stand on their own merits. There should be no need to spend any money or time campaigning.
 
 

Maryland Adds Environmental Literacy in High Schools - FoxNews.com

Sounds really wishy washy to me. No clear guidelines; not a mandate. What curriculum will be negated? This is one to keep an eye on. I'm glad that my wife and I will be putting our kids in private school.

Hillary: State Dept. ‘Instrumental in Sealing Deal’ For Lady Gaga’s Gay Pride Gig in Rome | CNSnews.com

What the heck is this? Is this the proper role of government? Is this what the states wanted the general government to do to promote their welfare? Is this constitutional? How does this help our union, generally? Fraud, waste, and abuse!

Weiner’s Pension, Benefits Could Top $1 Million : Roll Call News

this is just wrong. Question: Should our temporarily elected representitives in government receive any kind of pension? I don't think so. We don't want any thing in place that would encourage prolonged occupancy in office.

FLOTUS tells of Obama's worry | POLITICO 44

I thought that this president has taken more vacations and spent more time on the golf course than his predecessors; certainly more than George W. Bush. He seems to always be here and there giving speeches and hardly ever at the White House. WTF?

The Mormon Moment - Newsweek

Being Mormon, I thought this was a pretty fair article; especially coming from the leftist magazine Newsweek. What do you think? I can't stand that Harry Reid though.

The quote listed in the header of this blog is an abridgment of a quote of Ezra Taft Benson. Here it is in it's entirety:

In times as serious as these, we must not permit fear of criticism to keep us from doing our duty, even at the risk of our counsel being tabbed as political, as government becomes more and more entwined in our daily lives. In the crisis through which we are now passing, we have been fully warned. There are some of us who do not want to hear the message. It embarrasses us. The things which are threatening our lives, our welfare, our freedoms are the very things some of us have been condoning. Many do not want to be disturbed as they continue to enjoy their comfortable complacency. There can be no neutrality! We are, or we are not, on the side of the Lord! (Ezra Taft Benson, 1973)
