Some of us remember a time when "socializing" a dog came automatically.  Training a dog meant teaching your dog to sit,get the newspaper,your slippers,etc.  When it came to "socializing your dog" that was accomplished without thought as the dog followed the children through the house and out to play into the neighborhood.  Mothers were generally home when the children were at school, and after school, the children were not committed to structured play activities elsewhere. via helpmejoseph...

Once again we hear promises of congressional investigations, but will Obama once again request that these investigations be stalled so as not to interfere with the federal investigations? Senator Joe Lieberman is promising to have hearings on why the State Department took no action after Abdulmutallab's father reported his concerns about his son to the American embassy in Nigeria. Will Obama do the right thing and simply fire those responsible for this horrible blunder in American... Read Full Story

Image via Wikipedia South Africa Rocks has an interesting tweet that sums up the irresistible urge to compare Mandela, one of the most magnificent political figures of the 20th century, with Barack Obama.  The tweet reads: " There is no comparison . Mandela is a different person from a different time who called for a different following to achieve different goals. The closest these two come to one another is the tone of their skin color."  So true, unless events were to change. But the... Read Full Story

Image via Wikipedia Is it fitting that Obama complained about the "Fat Cats" of Wall Street without mentioning the new burgeoning ranks of well-heeled federal workers? We shouldn't be shocked if we have believed all along in the cost of an ever-growing federal government that protects its powers by placing over-paid government workers as a fat cushion between itself and the common, everyday taxpayer...or better yet-that working man that is so distinguishable from the Washington elite that...

Image via Wikipedia No matter the level of foolishness we tolerate from our leaders, politicians, and celebrities as Americans, one action we don't accept among public figures is hypocrisy.  As the Copenhagen summit gets underway, American plebeians have suffered the admonitions from people such as Al Gore who proposes a plan that could finally sound the death knell for our economy.  The green suggestion from Sheryl Crowe to use one single square of toilet paper is certainly for ward...

Image via Wikipedia One of the best reads on Obama comes from John F. Harris on " 7 Stories Obama Doesn't Want Told." Harris' article will strike home to most of Obama's critics who will see the 7 news stories as neatly summarized points Obama's opponents have been trying to voice the last few years towards the mesmerized media and followers.  Harris also makes clear these 7 perceptions of Obama are issues that Obama must worry about taking hold in the public's mind about his character...

Image via Wikipedia Corrupt Legislation Few of us are so naive not to know that corruption is a natural by-product of over-grown government and political greed.  Brietbarts investigative reporting  has gathered evidence of ACORN dumping hard evidence into its dumpster once California's Attorney General,Jerry Brown,announced he was investigating ACORN'S office in San Diego. Michael Flynn at Brietbart's Big Government tells us of a few things revealed by the evidence collected from public... Read Full Story

Image by Getty Images via Daylife It was three years ago when Bishop Tom Tobin told Rep.Patrick Kennedy to refrain from receiving Holy Communion.  Kennedy told The Providence Journal on Saturday that Bishop Tobin had also instructed priests not to give him Communion.  If you listen to Kennedy, you would think this event just happened, but Tobin was surprised that Kennedy brought it up after all this time.  Perhaps Kennedy wanted to bring his personal spiritual relationship with the Catholic...

As Obama deliberately gives little drops of information on a "double-dip" recession and a bleak outlook on jobs for Americans, he is preparing us for a new stimulus from Pelosi's Congress that is forced to deal with our dire job situation as we head for the 2010 house elections.  Even though Congress believes that voters do not understand deficits, they do realize we understand that more than 1 out of every 10 Amercians is without work.  Add to that the many who are only working part-time...

Image via Wikipedia Before Obama could land in Singapore, he still had his mind on lawmakers investigating the Fort Hood attack.  Obama referred to Hasan as a "gunman." Rep. Pete Hoekstra, ranking member of the Republican Senate Intelligence Committee, believes that Hasan will be found to have ties to international terrorism. The Ludington Daily News reported: "Hoekstra has asked for a briefing on the Fort Hood shootings that left 13 people dead and 29 injured, but was denied. Now he’s... Read Full Story
