A gay couple that lived in a state that recognizes gay unions are now complaining that they have lost their benefits because they moved to Idaho, a state that does not recognize same sex unions.  Of course, the ACLU is now involved. 

"We've been wrestling with Konica Minolta for months hoping that we could simply persuade them quietly to do the right thing," said Jack Van Valkenburgh, executive director of the ACLU of Idaho.  Hmm... he wants them to "quietly" do the right thing.  Yeah right, he just wants them to break a few rules to allow a couple to maintain benefits because they were stupid enough to move to a state that would not recognize their little arrangement.  Of course, Van Valkenburgh says that the ACLU would not rule out legal action.

What kind of baloney is this?  The ACLU and the looney couple think an entire state should change their laws just because they moved!  There used to be consequences for performing stupid actions.  Now, when the liberals decide to do something stupid, there is a law suit to support their stupidity!

Last week Judge Olszewski Jr. ordered 3 hispanics, who pleaded guilty for criminal conspiracy to commit robbery, to learn the English language.  The judge sentenced the defendents to 2 years in prison, however, he reduced their sentences to the 3 months they already servered on the condition that they find full-time employment within 30 days, earn their GEDs and learn the English language.  According to the sentence they must learn English within a year and pass a test.  If they fail to meet those conditions, they will return to prison to serve the full 24 months.

If you ask me, they got off easy!  I am happy to see a judge that pushes immigrants to speak the language though.  The only thing that could have been better would be to have them thrown in prison for their crimes and learn English as a condition to be released.

Why do we make a big thing about global warming?  Now I understand that there is some misinformation about the subject and global warming is often used as a political weapon, but really, why make a big thing about it.  I mean, conserving energy and controlling polutants isn't a bad thing.  It should be a personal responsibility to do these things.  So why don't we just let it go?  I think it just brings more attention to Al Gore and his politics.  It makes conservatives look like bad guys if we dispute it.

Now, my own research on the subject has convinced me that the human impact on global warming is just not as significant as Gore makes it out to be.  It is a natural cycle.  Global warming will come about no matter what we do.  Do humans exacerbate the situation?  Well, maybe a little, but, as we know Al Gore gets the big awards for "making us aware" even though his "carbon footprint" is quite large.  Oh well, so what!  I think that conservatives should let it go and not concentrate our resources getting in a political battle over it.

Look, put your cans and plastic in the recycle bin and let's concentrate on the our national security. 

First DNC's Chief Howard Dean said that he wants the Superdelegates to make their selections by July 1.  Now he has had "extensive discussions" with Clinton and Obama's campaigns to cool the rhetoric.  Should he be trying to control the process?  I think the process should play out without his control. 

Dean says ""I don't think the party is going to implode...".  If he feels that way, why is he trying to control the process.  Why deny it?  He knows the process is hurting the party!  Why not just admit it.  It is very similar to Obama's denial of his knowledge of Wright's racial and anti-American rantings.  Sen. Bill Nelson (D) said, "If ever we've had an example of a mess, it's this one, and I don't think there's anybody in America that is satisfied with this presidential nominating process."  Thank you Bill, at least we know that there are some Democrats who will be honest with the American people.

Howard Dean wants the Superdelegates to make their selections by July 1 so that the Democrats don't have go all the way to the convention.  Dean said, "You don't want to demoralize the base of the Democratic Party by having the Democrats attack each other. ...Let the media and the Republicans and the talking heads on cable television attack and carry on, fulminate at the mouth.  The supporters should keep their mouths shut about this stuff on both sides because that is harmful to the potential victory of a Democrat".

Of course, Dean wants to short circuit his party's voting process because he recognizes that the fightng is harming the Democrats.  I feel he should let the process work itself out instead of using his position as DNC to influence voting. 

This is a great example of why we don't want a Democrat in office right now.  I mean, if their voting system doesn't work, how in the heck are they going to run the country.

I have had co-workers and friends tell me that McCain is going to screw up the economy by keeping troops in Iraq.  I have news for them.  If we don't stabilize the situation in Iraq, the islamo-terrorists that want to kill Americans will set up house.  Once that happens, you can count on a couple things.  One, oil will go through the roof.  Two, they will step up their attacks on America.

Ok, the first issue is self-explanatory.  The current price for oil is already making an economic impact here.  Can you imagine what will happen when the insurgents de-stabilize the region?  As for the second issue, giving the terrorist more resources to set up camp is dangerous.  The fact is, Iran will influence, train and equip the terrorist.  Remember, Ahmadinejad is not exactly friendly with the U.S. or Israel.  As he has already stated, he wants Israel removed from the face of the planet.  We cannot afford to lose this important ally.  Further, once the islamo-terrorists gain strength, they will attack this country again.  If they are successful in bringing a war to our own soil, we won't have to worry about the economy.  We will have much bigger issues at hand. 

McCain wants to keep the fight on terrorism off shore.  He knows that our national security is our highest priority.  We live in a very different world since 911.  This ain't the hippie days of the flower children (been there, done that).  The liberals live in story book land.  Terrorism is real.  Let secure our nation to help keep our economy secure.

A lot of Obama's supporters said they like Obama because he does not act like a politician.  The way I see it, he plays the game very hard!  While taping ABC's, The View, he said, "had the reverend not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying at the church".  How stupid does he think the American people are?  He continues down this path of deceit!  He had nearly twenty years to make that decision.  Only now, while running for President, does he suggest that he would have left.  This is politics at its finest.  Isn't it a coincidence that only at this point in time he would have quit.  Hmm... it seems to coincide with his wife only now being proud of this country!

This segment should air tomorrow, Mar 28.

It has been a bitter battle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.  While Obama seems to be holding the high ground, Senator Clinton will not raise the white flag.  Some analysts suggest that Clinton has only a 10% chance to win, while others say it's over for her.  The recent bruhaha over Jeremiah Wright and Hillary's "evasive action" in Bosnia just seems to fan the fire.  Is this good for their party?  Probably not, but it is good for McCain. 

According to a Gallup poll, 28% of Clinton supporters said they would cast their vote for McCain if Hillary isn't the nominee, while 19% of Obama supporters would do the same if their candidate loses the nomination.  More on this Gallup poll.

Are the Dems just venting because of the long drawn out battle or do they really mean it?  After all, when Romney dropped out of the GOP race, some conservatives like Ann "the man" Coulter said she would support Hillary Clinton.  However, after venting their frustrations, many of those conservatives realized that McCain's worse day as a conservative is still way better than Obama or Hillary's best day as a liberal.  As for Ann Coulter, well, I am not sure she has seen the light.  While I admit that I often agree with her views, she has lost much of my respect by sleeping with the enemy!

Anyway, I think the McCain campaign should look upon the Gallup poll to strategize a plan to appeal to those willing to cross over without, of course, compromising our conservative values.

National Heroes Tour stop at Forest Lake High School was canceled by Steve Massey, the school's principal.  According to Massey, a small group of parents contacted him expressing their objection to the visit.  The National Heroes Tour is sponsored by Vets for Freedom whose executive director, Pete Hegseth, was a 1999 graduate of Forest Lake High School.  Massey said that he canceled the visit because it was political.  The VFF has stated that they don't endorse any candidate for president and they just wanted to give educational talks on how our military is doing in Iraq and Afganistan.  Sixth District Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was also slated to attend.

The American Legion in Forest Lake offered their facility for the visit as an alternative.  VFF was concerned that there would be a very small group attending, however, because of the change of plans.  Further, Chief of Police Clark Quiring said citizens were putting leaflets in opposition to the event on the windshieds of vehicles in the high school parking lot on Monday.  The police removed the leaflets.

What is happening to our country when we can't honor our men and women in uniform who are serving this country?  These are the people who protect the freedom that the loonies seem to abuse the most!  As a veteran who participated in the evacuation of Viet Nam which was brought about by the looney left by having us pull out before the mission was done, I am absolutely livid.  This reminds me of the days when military members returning home from VN would be spit on and called baby killers.

In West Chester, PA, a member of the Chester County Peace Movement slapped a videographer not once, but twice.  The woman who was slapped was recording an exchange between opposing groups when the man slapped her.  The police were called, but the man of peace became belligerent and pushed the officer.  Another officer took the man to the ground.  Of course, the other peace-niks moved in to within a foot of the officer and man struggling on the ground.

These anti-war groups are full of nuts!  Yes, these are the people who are trying to make the world a better place.  So here is their message for you... "if you try to protect this country using any sort of violence we'll kick your butt"!
