It just keeps coming

Interestingly enough Senator Specter found all sorts of reasons to say that the Republicans of Pa. had turned against him but never touched on one of the most blatant reasons, his vote in favor of that horrendous $787,000,000,000.00 spending bill WITHOUT HAVING READ IT. For some reason it has become a good thing in his mind to blindly approve the spending of his constituent's money without ensuring that such spending is not only vital but appropriate. We've all read multiple times about the wasteful spending and those of us who pay attention have also read the Government Accounting Office's, Congress' own accountants, study of the bill that said not only will this spending not hit our economy until next year at the earliest but also that it would end up costing us, or more appropriately our children, several times the money that is being spent. Gee Senator, do you think that voting in favor of such tripe may just have had some impact on your re-election as a Republican in Pa., especially when we tend to be a little more on the fiscally conservative side of the house?

Finally some honesty from Specter

Arlen Specter has finally admitted that he is a Dem. I have been waiting for him to admit this for years and am not at all surprised considering that he is not conservative on the vast majority of issues including the Second Amendment and he is certainly not a fiscal conservative. Now I can only hope that there is a solid conservative voice found for the people of Pennsylvania, we need to get the country's fiscal house in order and the left will not do that, not that the Republicans did any better under the last administration.

Homeland Security?

Janet Napolitano is supposedly taking her new position seriously but one has to wonder just how serious she is about it. She starts her administration of that post by first deciding that the name terrorist should not be used in reference to persons such as Osama bin Laden and company. Then she starts insulting anyone who has ever served in our military and infers, at the very least, that anyone who disagrees with the Obama administration is a terrorist. So we can't call terrorists by that name but Americans who have served in the military or who disagree with ANY Obama postition a terrorist? Is there something wrong with that picture or is it just me?

Now we have the new swine flu "pandemic" that is affecting our country. We are not going to stop people from traveling to the origination point, nor are we going to stop those from that country from entering our country BUT we will have anyone who works in an airport and may come in contact with those people wear gloves and face masks. We are concerned about the health of the government employees but not for the general public? I thought that Homeland Security was supposed to be trying to protect the people.
