Teaching The "Entitled" Generation Y
I was reading through this article, written by Kristen Miller, saying "Yes, Yes, YES!" because I have been so fed up with the way people today feel they are entitled to everything. According to the article, written by a teacher:"There is something about the current generation of students in school that makes teaching extremely difficult: entitlement. The first few months of my teaching career were eye-opening in terms of this phenomenon. I had one student ask me, "Mrs. Miller, why don't we ge... Read Full Story
Obama Is A Bigger Celebrity Than The Joker!
I may be late to the game with this post but I feel that it is important because of all the hypocrisy out there right now.Obama as the Joker and "Socialism".According to this article:"..the President's supporters have condemned the image, calling it 'mean-spirited and dangerous.'A spokesman from the Los Angeles urban policy unit said that depicting the president as demonic and a socialist 'goes beyond political spoofery.' "Then there are the mean-spirited comments like these:"Poor Joker, he ... Read Full Story
Republican Party vs. Young Voters
I found this interesting article the other day called "Anti-Science Party: Turnoff For Young Voters". By interesting, I mean that it was the writer's assumption without any actual research or interviewing of professionals.According to the article:"It's striking that 66 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds in the 2008 election voted for President Barack Obama and only 31 percent voted for Se. John McCain, according to CNN's exit polls. This discrepancy reveals just how much the Republican platform c... Read Full Story
Obama and the "non-existing" Death Panel
In one of Obama's recent (completely staged with supporters) town hall meetings he addressed Sarah Palin's Facebook message that read:"The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil."According to this article, Obama ... Read Full Story
The Offensive Town Hall Attendees And What To Do...
Nancy Pelosi falsely accused some protesters of carrying swastikas into the town hall formats for the debate on health care, again, they were carrying those signs with a "no" symbol over them to protest against socialism.However, with that being said, there are more and more reports of incidents here and there, not all the time, of people showing up with offensive signs and dressed like Hitler? The funny thing is that I hear about these things on CNN and the like but they never actually show ... Read Full Story
PETA, Lobsters And Grab Machines..Oh My
I have a huge problem with organizations like PETA and the ACLU, well PETA at least has some good points now and then but definitely the ACLU. With that in mind, I was lead to this recent article about PETA in an uproar over a restaurant attraction in Maine.Apparently someone had the bright idea to combine a kid's toy crane grabbing machine and a lobster tank into a fun for everyone way to catch your own meal! You pay money for the chance to lower the grab crane into the tank and to catch a l... Read Full Story
This Doesn't Help The White House With The Spying Allegations...
Even I, after writing within the last two posts about the White House spying, hold on to a little faith that I am overreacting about all of this. However, after watching the news this morning and watching the above clip LIVE, my jaw absolutely hit the floor that the White House press guy could not even answer a straight forward simple question about collecting email addresses!This man was asked SEVERAL times and tried his damn best to dodge the question by picking up on topics within the ques...

Bush's Spying Critics...Where Are You Now?
During the Bush years there was a big hoopla over the wiretapping program that the administration had in place. As a matter of fact, the last Batman movie played into the idea in one of it's final scenes with the cell phone tracing program to find the Joker. One of my Liberal counterparts argued that the director was implying that the assistant had a moral problem with the fact that Batman was spying on the citizens of Gotham. I on the other hand had a different view, in the end, the Joker wa... Read Full Story
If A Tree Falls In The Woods, Who Should It Sue?
Have you heard of John Holdren? The chances that you have heard of him, besides his new job position in relation to the President, aren't so small actually. His book that he wrote with the Ehrlichs, Ecoscience, is still used in college classrooms across the country. He is now the President's "Top Science Advisor", or in other terms more well known in this administration, the "Science Czar". If you think that the President should surround himself with experts in certain fields, you won't find ... Read Full Story
Let's Take A Look At These Extremists
As I just mentioned in my previous post, the Progressives and Liberals are soaking up the mainstream media spotlight to discredit a legitimate movement out there to debate the current health care plans. They are labeling the attendees as "Right wing extremist" or "the mob" and that they are well funded by right wing political organizations and that this is "fake" grassroots movement or, "AstroTurf".Let's take a look at some of these events:Do you see the violence of the "Right-Wing Extremists...
