Joe Stack and the IRS

By baregrass, on February 24th, 2010

Most of us now know who Joe Stack was after learning of his flying his airplane into the IRS office in Texas. The Main Stream Media (MSM) has attempted to make him into a Tea Party type guy. Good try by the leftist media taking their orders from the Obama administration but no soap.
After reading [...]

The ACLU and the Terrorists

By baregrass, on November 17th, 2009

John Stephenson wrote an excellent article on Pajamas Media and the role of the ACLU in getting Eric Holder to hold Khalid Mohammed’s terrorist trial in a civilian court in New York instead of trying him in a military tribunal and here is what I feel is the most important thing he said, “with an [...]

Another Promise To Indians on The Way To Being Broken?

By baregrass, on April 3rd, 2009

“Honor the Trust Responsibility: Barack Obama recognizes that honoring the government-to-government relationship requires fulfillment of the United States’ trust responsibility to tribes and individual Indians. More specifically, Obama is committed to meaningful reform of the broken system that manages and administers the trust lands and other trust assets belonging to tribes and individual Indians. Further, [...]

Politicians and Lobbyists

By baregrass, on February 3rd, 2009

I read a good piece on Politico on the current status of Washington lobbyists. I added a comment to the ensuing discussion. Here is the article:

And below is my comment:
“Don’t worry. The lobbyists will be back in favor in a little while. Money and politicians are like 2 magnets that attract each other. As long [...]

Bill Richardson Will No Longer Be Commerce Secretary

By baregrass, on January 4th, 2009

Looks like our governor, Bill Richardson, has withdrawn his name as Obama’s nominee for Commerce Secretary. It all has to do with the ongoing federal investigation into how some of his political donors won a lucrative state contract.
In 2004 CDR Financial Programs of Beverley Hills, CA got hired by the New Mexico Finance Authority to [...]

“When a man believes that any stick will do, he at once picks up a boomerang.” – G.K. Chesterton
(By the way, if you don’t understand what Chesterton said there is nothing I can do for you)
I came across this quote from the English writer, essayist and playwright in a column by Nick Cohen in [...]

Kosovo

By admin, on February 25th, 2008

Big mistake! We, meaning the US, have now recognized Kosovo’s independence from Serbia despite the 1999 UN agreement to respect Serbia’s territorial integrity. Now the Serbs hate us and even though the ethnic Albanian, and mostly Muslim, Kosovars think we are the best right now how long will it be until they decide that we [...]

Health Care

By admin, on February 24th, 2008

Our governor, Bill Richardson, has wanted universal health care in this state for a long time. He thought he would get it this year but didn’t. He found out that he just couldn’t order the legislators to do something and, snap!, it was done. I was privileged to be present in the Health and Government [...]

As many have said, we live in interesting times and this year’s election season is no exception. Who would have thought, just a few months ago, that the “presumptive Democrat nominee” would be now fighting for her political life and that the Republican front-runner was dismissed as a “also ran” with hardly any [...]
