Texas Woman Told to Remove ‘Offensive’ American Flag From Office

Here is a story that really makes me say that people that don’t like America, and any thing about it, and the American FLAG should be sent back to where they came from, and that go’s for any one that puts a foreign name in front of America first, because that says that they don’t like America and want the laws changed for them.

====================================================

Debbie McLucas comes from a patriotic family – her husband and both of her sons served in the U.S. military, and her daughter is currently deployed to Iraq on her second tour of duty as a combat medic.

So when McLucas arrived at work at a Texas hospital last Friday, she was stunned to be told that the Stars and Stripes she had hung in her office in advance of Memorial Day were offensive, and that the flag had been removed. Continue reading

New ID rules begin June 1

By MANUEL VALDES, Associated Press Writer Sat May 30, 3:23 pm ET

BLAINE, Wash. – New rules requiring passports or new high-tech documents to cross the United States’ northern and southern borders are taking effect Monday, as some rue the tightening of security and others hail it as long overdue.

The rules are being implemented nearly eight years after the Sept. 11 attacks and long after the 9/11 Commission recommended the changes. They were delayed by complaints from state officials who worried the restrictions would hinder the flow of people and commerce and affect border towns dependent on international crossings.

Lawmaker Laments Federal Stake in G.M.

Well if these auto manufacturers would bring the price of these cars down to a price that at least 85% of the people could afford them then maybe you can sell them.

At the way the economy is to day very few will be able to qualify, because peoples credit is gone thanks to wall street and our Government, few are working, so who can buy.

Sen. Richard Shelby said Friday the government should have allowed the marketplace to decide General Motors’ fate and that the huge federal stake in the company puts Washington on “the road to socialism.”

//

Shelby, ranking Republican on the Banking Committee, argued that the financially beleaguered GM could have saved “lots of money” if it had chosen six months ago to file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition. “What I worry about” is Washington’s large interest in the company, the senator said in a nationally broadcast network interview. “It’s basically going to be a government-owned, government-run company … a company that has been sadly run into the ground.” (Read “Government Motors: Can a Reinvention Save GM?”) Continue reading

Private Sector Is Hurting and Washington’s on a Spending Spree

Retirement funds cut in half, jobs lost, rising unemployment and reduced spending are the norm for U.S. citizens. But the Federal government is increasing payroll, and elected politicians have not lost a dime of their retirement savings.

By Bob Livingston

Across the country people have seen their retirement funds halved. Companies have tightened their belts as they sought to rein in spending and remain profitable. As a result, many workers have lost their jobs and unemployment is bumping 9 percent, the highest rate in years. Continue reading

Taxing Times Are Here Again

By Neil Cavuto

By You know what startles me about talking taxes in Washington? So few are — at least there.

Not a single prominent Democrat rejected Senator Kent Conrad’s idea of a value-added tax — on top of an income tax, on top of an even higher top income tax, on top of an *even higher top income tax*, on top of *that* tax.

No one made a big deal of that. I guess because no one’s really surprised by that. After all, when you’re spending like crazy, it only makes sense you try to keep up, “taxing” like crazy. Even though I guess I’m crazy for reporting it. Continue reading

Obama Administration Ignores Voter Intimidation

The Voting Rights Act is very clear. It prohibits any “attempt to intimidate, threaten or coerce” any voter or those aiding voters.

FOX News

Imagine if Ku Klux Klan members had stood menacingly in military uniforms, with nightsticks, in front of a polling place. Add to it that they had hurled racial threats and insults at voters who tried to enter.

Now suppose that the government, backed by a nationally televised video of the event, had won a court case against the Klansmen except for the perfunctory filing of a single, simple document — but that an incoming Republican administration had moved to voluntarily dismiss the already-won case. Continue reading
