Nailed It!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.)

I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention.

You are welcome to browse the list of truly exceptional articles I pinged to lately. Updated on January 13, 2010.  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).

Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

I knew I should have copyrighted “TEApublican” when I used it in a post.

"Because if the Tea Party movement is the grass-roots, common-man philosophical soul of small government and personal liberty and responsibility, then the Republican party is the skeletal structure — the bones and arteries and sinews needed to live in the real world."

Amen!

The RINO Medved types will tell you that we must work with the Republican Party. Wrong. We must purge it of incumbents. These guys did nothing to curb spending when in power. Boehner is a corrupt BIG GOVT RINO. Their recent conversion to fiscal responsibility is a fraud. They will say anything to get re-elected and go on with their corruption. Boot them all.

The question is whether or not Scott Brown is more conservative than Ted Kennedy or Martha Coakley. He is, and by a very wide margin. That’s a win!

The question is whether or not Scott Brown will kill as many babies as Ted Kennedy or Martha Coakley, both of whom are "pro-choice" like Scott, but who have "personal distaste for abortion and especially for partial birth abortion, also like Scott.

He will. Their KIA count will be 200 times just this year the entire total killed in Iraq since the WOT began. (Osama bin Roevwade)

So, it's a loss. It's a loss for the nation.

And, it's another life taken without due process of law.

But...it's OK....he bares his chest on Cosmo and any politician who likes balanced budgets, and who's also that liberal can't be anything other than an acceptable media darling. And he's got cute daughters with perky breasts.

What could possibly be wrong with that?

God save us.

RE :” Gone! What did you get for it? Nothing. What service did it do the country? None! So why did they spend it? Because — listen now — they spent it because that’s not your money. That’s their money. Just because you got up in the morning, sat in traffic, and worked all day before sitting in traffic again to come home exhausted… that doesn’t mean it’s your money to these bloodsucking, leather-winged, Big Government entitlement-mongers. No, that’s their money to spend as they see fit — and not just all the money you send in taxes today, or next year, or the next ten years — they — Democrats and Republicans too — have spent all the money you will make in your lifetime, and then spent all of the money your kids will make, and the pool of work that your grandkids will do in 2060 or so — that’s mostly been spent too

LOL, love this talk. I like Peter Schiff’s speech where he says our Social Security FICA taxes was spent on bridges to no-where, failed auto-companies, bank bailouts, welfare(to illegals yet) , new entitlements and in Iraq and it's long gone.

Sorry suckers(taxpayers) , it really wasn't free like they promised!

Before they cut one dime of Social Security or medicare they need to cut retired government benefits including congress.

My concern, and I’ve expressed this many times, is that people would decide that Scott Brown is the candidate “model” to be used around the country and this will ultimately destroy the GOP if it happens.

Someone on a thread yesterday was telling me that he wants to get a lot more people just like Scott Brown elected and that is insane! The ONLY thing Brown really promised was that he would vote against ObamaCare, but his vote for RomneyCare indicates that he would be happy to vote for a GOP-sponsored socialized medicine program.

What is this “wide margin” by which he is more conservative than Ted Kennedy or Martha Coakley?
