Administration lifts 6-month oil drilling freeze - Yahoo! News

Administration lifts 6-month oil drilling freeze - Yahoo! News: "Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said that new rules imposed after the BP spill — the worst environmental disaster in the country's history — have strengthened safety measures and reduced the risk of another catastrophic blowout."

But yet what are the new rules? It took just 6 months for the Obama administration to fix this problem, allegedly. I don't know how they did it. Why did it take so long to even address the spill in the first place? And why the cover up? I guess it's not this peasant's place to question.

Illegal contributions to a Democrat? Say it isn't so

Four charged after trying to use campaign contributions to land gaming license: "A special prosecutor Monday (Oct. 11) filed charges against four people and two gambling entities for allegedly making illegal campaign contributions to Gov. Chet Culver’s re-election campaign in..."

It doesn't escape me that the headline doesn't have the Democrat that the illegal contributions were given to.

Obama's Great Stagnation Worse Than Carter's Malaise

U.S. Economy Lost 95,000 Jobs in September - WSJ.com: "WASHINGTON --The U.S. economy continued to lose jobs last month as small gains in the private sector failed to offset big cuts in government workers, pointing to a still sluggish recovery."

They keep wanting to call this thing a recovery and preface it as sluggish. This is not a recovery. A stagnation is a more accurate description. Obama's Great Stagnation Worse Than Carter's Malaise -that should be the headline we see.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer slams 'foreign interference' in immigration lawsuit - Scott Wong - POLITICO.com

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer slams 'foreign interference' in immigration lawsuit - Scott Wong - POLITICO.com: "In a new twist in the fight over Arizona’s immigration law, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer on Tuesday asked a federal court to disallow foreign governments from joining the U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit to overturn the law."

This is what we're up against. At all levels of government, there is a fight with the citizens of this country for who is really in control. It's the making of a real revolution and it's no joking matter.

Fox News: Westboro Baptist Church to Defend Military Funeral Protests Before High Court

Fox News
http://fxn.ws/9kWsWL
 For many, the idea of protesting at any funeral -- let alone one for a member of the military -- is abhorrent, yet members of the Westboro Church proudly boast of having held more than 44,000 pickets at funerals and other events. They also strongly defend their First Amendment right to protest.

 

This so-called "church" is an abomination. They are disgusting and full of nuts.

Adult Liberals become irrational children (when the don't get their way)

’21 Makes Sense’ yard signs stolen: "Supporters of the 21-only ordinance said they were targeted by a “massive yard sign theft operation” this past weekend."

Typical. I remember having my political sign stolen and vandalized (McCain/Palin of course). I put the sign in my window and had to run off a horde of little kids, two of which were banging on my window trying to knock the sign down. All were minority. All were black. But this is what conservatives (or even a moderate or liberal with a single conservative pov) can expect in the Liberal Mecca.
