Cap & Trade...No, I mean Cap & Trade

rbaker@meerstar.com — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 06:00:00 +0100

In another shallow move, the Democrats have decided to change the name from Cap and Trade to anything but "Cap & Trade". Citizens of the United States, we think you are stupid, therefore if we change the name of the bill that will force you to pay more for everything at a time in history when you can least afford it, you will become a mindless simp and say something like, "Yes, Mr. Obama, Yes, Ms Pelosi and Yes, Mr. Reid, we will follow you mindlessly! Yes, Yes, Yes..." Well excuse the hell o [...]

Obama & Henchpeople Report Card

editor@talkindependence.com — Wed, 12 May 2010 06:00:00 +0100

It is that time again. Time to give a report card on the amazingly misguided Obama and crew.

Health care - FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF The plan doesn't work and will bankrupt America in a few years. This fact is backed by the Congressional Budget Office and numerous experts. Nothing is as President Obama has told us nor is it likely to become true anytime soon.

He insulted Americans by making having medical insurance mandatory. Insult to injury, he made it so the IRS will [...]

Mr. President, you missed again!

Dear Mr. President,

How dare you stare down the end of your nose at anyone trying to do anything with immigration when the Fed has been called upon for decades without anything happening!

Yes, it is an explosive issue, but you and your cronies are not the only people who have brains. Your diatribe about this event indicates that you think that the idea is ill-conceived. Really, where was your idea?

In your very own comments, you said, “…inaction by the Federal Gove [...]

Obama's Abysmal Approval Rating Still Slipping!

rbaker@meerstar.com — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 06:00:00 +0100

The Obama Administration’s propaganda machine is running full blast but the poll numbers continue to spiral downward for President Obama, the Democrats, and their great socialist experiment. According to the latest CBS News Poll (conducted between March 29, 2010 and April 1, 2010) President Obama hit a record low 44 percent approval rating, down from 49 percent in March, 50 percent in January, and 68 percent last April.

As to the President and the Democrat’s “Health Care Victory,” Ame [...]

What about this?

rbaker@meerstar.com — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 06:00:00 +0100

To tell you the truth, in today's terms, it is often difficult to tell whom is doing what and whether that individual you are speaking with as a Publisher, Editor or Writer is worth his or her beans that day.

Maybe that isn't as important as the fact that people are speaking out. This new medium provides a modicum of anonymity and a host of notoriety as you choose. If you speak out and you use your name, be prepared, someone out there is always going to get mad. Check with the President, G [...]

Our President and Leadership take a Paycut; LOLOLOL!

editor@talkindependence.com — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 06:00:00 +0100

It is time to make a difference and since, "We, the people..." have given up a lot, it is time for our President and Congress to take a paycut. I think a 10% tax cut would be just the thing that would reinforce our continued belief in their ability to "rule", sorry, meant "run" this country.

Our President and the leadership of this country could learn a lesson from Mayor Dewey Bartlett who pledged an 8 percent salary cut was finally formalized Monday when he sent a letter to the cit [...]

Tea Parties in Kansas

editor@talkindependence.com — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 06:00:00 +0100

I drive across Kansas every day working with the family business and looking for stories on real people. I visited one of the Independence Day Tea Parties held in Wichita at the Sedgwick County Courthouse. In addition to the celebration of our independence, the Tea Parties continue to be a grassroots movement of citizens who have had enough of government corruption and waste. With a debt of $20 trillion by the year 2020 looming over us, it is no exaggeration to say our nation has a spending p [...]

Hmmm, a few things to think about being older

"Me and My Ideal Match"
Things I've heard are good ideas for dating at our age, so they probably apply one way or another:
1. Wear your glasses to make sure your partner is actually in the bed.

2. Set timer for 3 minutes, in case you doze off in the middle.

3. Set the mood with lighting. (Turn them ALL OFF!)

4. Make sure you put 911 on your speed dial before you begin.

5. Write partner's name on your hand in case you can't remember..

6. Use extra polygrip so your teeth don't end [...]

I ask you...can a woman listen

I just read that article by Skelley. Now, that was cool, but it didn

I am not as sure about the sexes being all that different. You see, women play sports, fix fences, work as hard or harder than men. They give birth and, I don

Are you listening America?

editor@talkindependence.com — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 06:00:00 +0100

Just this evening, we heard from a membership of Massachusetts over their health care implementation. As I understand it, it is almost just exactly like ObamaCare.

In statements to different interviewers, including Glen Beck, that same representative told the country, that their system is failing and even doctors are out of work. The first thing to go has been community hospitals because the policy is to pay less than the amount required by docs/administration to support the hospital. Th [...]
