Let The Truth Be Told
The real culprit in the current financial crisis is the current administration and the previous democratic controlled Pelosi-Reid congress. Americans need to understand (and of course with no support or help from the press) that the current debt ceiling is only a trigger on the proverbial “gun”—the gun has been the enormous spending boom of the last three years under the complete control of Obama-Pelosi-Reid. What makes matters worse... [Read More...]
A Night in the Gardens
We DO mean night – as it was 11:15pm when we left the Palm Beach Gardens City Council chamber and there were items yet to be discussed on the agenda,with a hard stop at 11:30 pm. Our call to action covered two 2012 budget related items and one regarding the Inspector General. Although separated on the agenda, the council decided to take up Ordinance 13, 2011 and Resolution 33, 2011 in sequence. Ordinance 13, 2011 was a proposal to raise... [Read More...]

My Father’s Democrats
My father was a staunch democrat. In his day he believed the democrat party was for the working man. He believed in the unions. He believed in protecting the little guy. In his day maybe he was right. I know his values were right. I know he practiced those values in his everyday life. I know he looked for an opportunity to do his “Good Deed” for the day. It could be as simple as helping someone to fix a flat tire to bringing vegetables... [Read More...]
Do we have election materials in Spanish to facilitate cheating?
A person must be a U.S. citizen to vote in U.S. elections. An immigrant must know English to obtain U.S. citizenship. So if all the eligible voters know English, why do we need the ballot and other election materials in both English and Spanish? Are people cheating by bringing illegal immigrants to the polls to vote? It is hard to find another explanation for Spanish ballots. We need to eliminate the Spanish ballots to reduce the cheating and save... [Read More...]
We are spoiled brats
It looks like one reason the Congress is having trouble devising a debt limiting strategy is the electorate is a bunch of spoiled brats. Almost everyone (especially the liberals, progressives and the half of the citizens who pay no income taxes) has adjusted quite well to the nanny state and has become dependent on all the goodies Uncle Sugar passes out. When Congress and conservatives try to set spending priorities to reign in the unsustainable national... [Read More...]
Redistricting affects you – come to the sole PBC legislative redistricting mtg
As a result of the census, reformulation of voting districts are underway from the municipality level up to Congressional districts. Various criteria are used to determine the size and makeup of all of those districts and readjust them based on the changes that occurred in population and demographics over the last 10 years. This may mean that your current Congressional Representative no longer has a district, or you no longer live in his/her district. ... [Read More...]
Palm Beach Gardens City Council Mtg 7/19 – a Call to Action
Palm Beach Gardens residents should be aware of several items on the Agenda (and one that no longer is): Ordinance 11, 2011 – not on Agenda: Second reading of Ordinance 11, 2011 was removed from the agenda. This was the ordinance that made the change, among other things, to the election run-off process – essentially eliminating run-off except in the case of a tie. Purportedly this would save between $10000 and $40000 or so per run-off. ... [Read More...]
Shared Sacrifice (a.k.a. wealth redistribution)
President Obama told the National Governors Association in February 2011 that everybody, not just one group, must be ready to give up something to help push the U.S. economic recovery. The President has repeated Shared Sacrifice recently in seeking to tax the rich to generate income to offset his wild spending. Shared Sacrifice is euphemism for wealth distribution, the communist idea of confiscating from the rich. Real Shared Sacrifice would exist... [Read More...]
