Like a dog? Dog’s are man’s best friends, so he’s got it wrong.

So, how do you talk about Obama?

Muslims Give Obama Highest Job Approval; Mormons, Lowest
Jews and those with no religious affiliation also give Obama above-average ratings

Somehow, this is not surprising.

Tuesday, Missourians overwhelmingly voted to pass a measure that would exempt residents from President Obama’s socialist health care mandate. 667,000 Missourians braved 102-degree heat yesterday to send Obama a clear message, “we don’t need your stinkin” health care plan.”

According to The Hill.com, When White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked today what it means that voters in Missouri would vote against the federal mandate, Gibbs said: ‘Nothing.’”

Robert W. Snyder, Jr. 1947 ~ 2010 Bob left us on June 19th after a day of doing what he loved, sailing the BJ at Soldier Creek with good friends and family. Bob was born September 2, 1947, at Mitchel Field AFB, in New York, the only son of Charlotte and Robert Snyder. After serving in the U.S. Navy, he married Connie and they began their life together in Denver. After a few years in Denver, the couple moved to Minneapolis where their son Michael was born in 1970. After a brief stay living in San Francisco they finally made their home in Utah where they raised their son and enjoyed many friends and family. Bob is survived by his wife, Connie, son, Mike (Wendy), granddaughter, Bailey, and sisters, Jean Allstun and Carol (Gary) Davis. Bob lived his life to the fullest and always found a way to have a good time. He had a way of making friends with everyone he met and will be missed by all who knew him. Services will be held Thursday, June 24, 2010 – 11:00 a.m. at Camp Williams, 17111 S. Camp Williams Road (Redwood Rd), Bluffdale, Utah. Family and close friends are welcome from 10:00 – 10:45 a.m. prior to the service. Arrangements in care of Olpin-Hoopes Funeral Home. Condolences may be sent to the family online at:www.olpinhoopes.com. In lieu of flowers and in memory of Bob’s humorous outlook on life, please feel free to make contributions to whoever may be running against Obama in 2012.

The Agriculture Department announced Monday, shortly after AWB and many other sources published the video, that Sherrod had resigned, (read:fired).

Just days before her appointment, the Obama Justice Department settled a lawsuit by Sherrod and her husband claiming discrimination against their farm cooperative for a reported $13 million.

In scanning the news this morning I see that CBS. NBC and ABC have yet to run a story on this. How does that not surprise me.

Remind you of a similar story where the prosecution of Black Panthers for violating voting rights was ignored because the accusers were white and the defendants black? And all the while, the NAACP is cheering them on.

“It is not at all clear that the greatly accelerated pace of the dealership closings during one of the most severe economic downturns in our nation’s history was either necessary for the sake of the companies’ economic survival or prudent for the sake of the nation’s economic recovery,” the report said.

The report which was released on Sunday estimated that “tens of thousands of jobs were lost as a result.”

Obama put Steve Rattner in charge of managing the auto bailout program. This was a guy with zip in the way of automotive industry experience. Rattner left after less than three months on the job because he was the target of a federal probe of some nefarious activities at a New York pension, only to be replaced by Ron Bloom, an official from the steelworkers union who also had no experience in the auto industry.

Just last month Obama promoted 29 year-old Sam Kass, his former personal chef from Chicago to to Senior Policy Adviser For Healthy Food Initiatives. The guy doesn’t have the credentials. But hey, you don’t need any to work for Obama.

How’s that change working for you now?

I say Draconian because next Obama & Co. will be most likely propose penalties for being fat. Increased government mandated health care insurance cost for example, or maybe evening rationing. Then, in our current Marxist style of governing, imagine down the road they tie your BMI to your grocery shopping habits.

Imagine this. You go into the store, and with the new RFID enable grocery carts, you go to put a package of Twinkies in, and the cart says, “sorry fatso, you’re not allowed to buy those until your BMI comes down.” RFID chips are already in some grocery store reward/loyalty cards.

I think the next time I go to the doctor and they ask me step on the scale, I’ll just have to say no.

According to the Family Research Council, the high-risk pool, which is getting $160 million from the Department of Health and Human Services, would cover any abortion legal in the state.

“This is the boldest admission yet from the Obama administration that the President’s Executive Order on taxpayer-funded abortion was a sham,” House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said in a statement. “The fact that the high-risk pool insurance program in Pennsylvania will use federal taxpayer dollars to fund abortions is unconscionable.”

[...]

To placate anti-abortion Democrats, President Obama signed an executive order barring use of federal funds to cover abortions in health insurance exchanges. That order does not apply to the high-risk pools.

“This was one of the many concerns from the beginning: that abortion language in the bill doesn’t cover high risk pools,” Susan B. Anthony List spokeswoman Kerry Brown told The Hill. “Many states will be implementing high-risk pools, so similar situations could happen almost anywhere.”

Sham baby.

Yesterday, Dr. Patrick Egan with the Department of Politics at New York University released a study covering a decade of research on political polling on homosexual marriage efforts. A scientific look at 33 state ballot initiatives since 1998 reveals that the homosexual demands groups are not making any headway convincing Americans that two men equal a mom and a dad.

The study finds that in spite of homosexual demands groups routinely outspending the defenders of marriage in political campaigns, voter opposition does not really change from the beginning to the end of a referendum battle. 

From Maine to California, from Florida to Wisconsin, Americans consistently oppose the radical redefinition of marriage in the midst of the most pro-gay culture in American history. The study found that support for having both genders represented in a marriage also does not change regardless of the size of the homosexual population in a state that is mobilized.

The other finding of significance is that polls consistently underestimate the opposition to the redefinition of marriage by an average of 7% less than the vote on Election Day. Obviously more people oppose same-sex marriage than are willing to say so, which is understandable given the way in which “tolerance” is forced upon Americans. (As columnist Cal Thomas often says, “intolerance is the only nationally recognized sin left in America today.”)

Interestingly, I have recently heard that the Indiana Republican Party once again has a poll showing64% support for the passage of a Marriage Protection Amendment. With this New York University study, the reality is that most likely seven-out-of-ten Hoosier voters actually support protecting our marriage laws. In spite of this, the Indiana House Democratic leadership, under the control of Speaker Patrick Bauer, has blocked such a measure four separate years.  Each time there was always an estimated 65 out of 100 votes waiting to defend marriage on the House floor.

Just a Reminder that We’re Natural Allies, Not Sworn Enemies

Yesterday, I perhaps unwisely, conceded to speak with an assistant to a famous Washington, DC insider who seems to love to stir up division between social and fiscal conservatives. You may have occasionally heard this person debate radio talk show host Laura Ingraham over his criticism of Governor Sarah Palin and other issues.

They were fishing for any juicy local criticism of Governor Mitch Daniels regarding his calling for a “truce on social issues,” which I did not provide.  The most critical thing I said was that we sometimes seem to have different priorities. I don’t know what will become of my comments, but I doubt if my explanation that there need not be a division between social and fiscal conservatives will show up in any Washington blog or newspaper. 

Here is the message I think needs to now come out of this “controversy.”  Social conservatives have largely failed to adequately explain how we are actually quite often fiscal conservatives’ best ally. A social conservative is almost always also a fiscal conservative who also supports smaller government and spending restraint. 

The opposite is much less true.  Many fiscal conservatives are not social conservatives. Ironically, social liberalism and fiscal conservatism often have contradictory outcomes.  Social conservatism leads to smaller government and fiscal restraint. Scarcely a dollar is spent today in Washington, DC outside of the defense budget that isn’t in some way or another linked to a breakdown of the family or the decline of societal values and morality.

As Frmr. Governor Mike Huckabee pointed out in an e-mail this week, “The fact is that every value voter I know is truly committed to fiscal conservatism, but many fiscal conservatives and libertarians range from disinterest to contempt for social issues. ??I learned a lot during 13 1/2 years as a Governor and Lieutenant Governor about why government gets big and taxes get higher and what causes and solves the issues of poverty and crime. Here’s the simple truth: poverty and crime are the direct results of broken families and broken values of responsibility, work, marriage, and respect of others. Prisons are overflowing and government “relief” programs get traction often because of the breakdown of our social structure. If we don’t respect the value of each individual life, whether in the womb, or the classroom, or the living room, we devalue property and intangible qualities of life. It gets expensive.”

Similarly, President Ronald Reagan’s all-star scholars’ Report to the President in 1986 concluded, “It is no accident that every totalitarian movement of the 20th century has tried to destroy the family. The essence of modern totalitarianism has been to substitute the power of the State for the rights, responsibilities, and authority of the family. Everywhere the equation holds true: where there are strong families, the freedom of the individual expands and the reach of the State subsides and contracts. Where family life weakens and fails, government advances and intrudes, and ultimately compels. Somehow the bottom line was always the same: government would take resources from families . . . in order to “help” them.”

In short, social conservatives are often the greatest ally of fiscal conservatism and limited government, but we have not always explained this message as well as Governor Huckabee or the “Great Communicator” Ronald Reagan did. I believe this is one part of the reason why this recent controversy has some of the support it has received from those who may mistakenly see a great divide between two parts of the this political movement. If there is a divide, it is in many ways, philosophically unnecessary.

What Indiana Really Needs in this Lousy Economy is More Business Regulations!

The South Bend City Council has revived a controversial ordinance it rejected last year following significant public opposition to the measure. The divisive, politically-correct ordinance creates new regulations upon, and legal liabilities for, businesses in the city surrounding the hiring or firing of people involved in homosexual behaviors. (This liability can apply even if the business owner isn’t aware of what sexual choices their employees may make in the privacy of their own homes.)

Homosexual demands groups in Indianapolis have been targeting several cities in Indiana with money for training and activism efforts to pass city ordinances which they have acknowledged came from theGeorge Soros funded Tides Foundation. Some people think that this is part of a strategy to ultimatley challenge Indiana’s marriage statutes.  Such ordinances are often used as justification for recognizing homosexual relationships as the same as marriages between a man and a woman.

The South Bend City Council will consider the controversial employment ordinance on July 12th.

We Have an Official Congressional Contest in Northeast Indiana

Congratulations to State Senator Marlin Stutzman on his impressive victory this weekend! On Saturday, Republican precinct committee members met to fill the ballot vacancy left by the resignation of Congressman Mark Souder. With a very strong showing on the first ballot of 180 votes from among fifteen candidates, Marlin easily gained the 24 more he needed to win on the second ballot. This November Marlin will face Democrat Tom Hayhurst, a former city councilor, and a doctor, from Fort Wayne who ran a solid challenge to Rep. Souder a few years ago.

The Incredible Shrinking President

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, I thought that this humorous new political cartoon of President Obama and Former President Jimmy Carter said far more than I ever could in this e-mail.

As you all must know by now, America is in the midst of a disaster of massive proportions due to a giant hole that has, for far too long, been spewing toxic waste into our environment and wreaking further havoc on large sectors of our already severely wounded economy.

Until now, little if anything has been done to seal up this hole and contain the damage. In response to this crisis, Our Great Leader stepped forth and boldly demanded, in a manner befitting his vast leadership skills, that someone, “Plug the damn hole!”

And, at last, someone did…
