The headline in Israel was NOT : – that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney intends to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem if he is elected (rejecting a stance taken from Ronald Reagan through George W.

Remember John Kline’s (R-MN-02) call to push the Reset Button on healthcare reform ? “Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my concern the consequences of the majority party’s proposed health reform to the members of our greatest generation.

If you want to learn about Rick Perry, then read his 2010 book FED UP ! — Our Fight to Save America from Washington. His views are straightforward … for example, on healthcare check out page six : We are fed up with a federal government arrogant enough to declare it knows more about our [...]

Too bad that he retired from Congress … he is missed. If Congressman Ramstad was the MN-GOP’s candidate for Governor, he would have my [...]
Forget about the Death Panel when Dr. Rush Limbaugh is available for a consultation. On yesterday’s “education” program, Dr. Limbaugh proclaimed : “Preventive Medicine” equals “Mind Control” ! They want to control you. Further, he explained why : “Look at government motives” which followed an discourse on how Russian Vladimir Lenin was the Father of [...]
