As many of you are no doubt aware, President Obama has made his choice for the Supreme Court seat being vacated by Justice Souter.

A couple weeks back I wrote about highway G-71 in Marion County, Iowa. It was getting a new black top surface and I said it wouldn’t last 30 years as the funding to do this project came from a borrowing plan our wonderful Iowa law makers and Governor Culver signed into law this past week. [...]

A new term to me is “statist”. Mr. Levin uses [...]

I am still a relative newcomer to the realm of politics. Prior to the most recent Iowa Caucus I was not all that involved. Sure I voted in the general election, but until last year I had never taken part in a primary. Last year however there was a presidential candidate that inspired me to [...]

As I have stated in previous posts, the only way to legalize same-sex marriage is through the people or the legislature. States who use the court’s opinion to magically make law know darn well that it is the only way they will get same-sex marriage because their people nor their legislatures will pass it. Two [...]

As this Memorial Day arrives once again. I want to thank the men who fought and died for this great country. What they did was heroic and I highly doubt with the society we’re bringing up today you will ever find enough men willing to lay their life on the line for their country now [...]

Well it looks like our neighbor to the east, Wisconsin, is the next target on Tim Gill’s hit list. Their state Supreme Court will review whether or not the marriage amendment to the state constitution that was passed by almost 60% of the people eighteen months ago is constitutional.

Do you know what the definition of an icon is? According to Microsoft Encarta one of the definitions of an icon is a picture or symbol that is universally recognized to be representative of something.

How long will President Obama allow this loose cannon go before he does something? Once again our wonderful bumbling Vice President Joe Biden screws up. This time though it looks like he has released some top secret information. I think its high time someone arrested this clown for threats to our National security. How much [...]

Why does this remind me of a Wile E.Coyote remark? This popped in my mind when I read the quote. I knew months ago we could not continue to spend at the rate we was. I dont know how we could as we did. It started under President Bush and President Obama ran for office [...]
