Barack Obama may be the most divisive president since Lincoln, yet has neither his intelligence, moral character, work ethic nor his willingness to bend over backwards to find common ground with his opponents.

Hunters Share The Harvest
Pennsylvania hunters and sportsmen are encouraged by the Pennsylvania Game Commission to consider participating in the state’s Hunters Sharing the Harvest (HSH) program, which provides donations of venison to local food banks, soup kitchens and families in need, says State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).
Started in 1991, HSH has developed into a refined support service for organizations that assist Pennsylvanians in need. Each year, Hunters Sharing the Harvest helps to deliver almost 200,000 meals to food banks, churches and social services feeding programs.
As part of the program, hunters are encouraged to take a deer to a participating meat processor and identify how much of their deer meat to donate to HSH. If an individual is donating an entire deer, he or she is asked to make a $15 tax-deductible co-pay, and HSH will cover the remaining processing fees. However, a hunter can cover the entire costs of the processing, which is also tax deductible.
To learn more about the program and obtain a list of participating meat processors and county coordinators, visit the Game Commission’s website or go to the HSH website.
Pennsylvania’s HSH program is recognized as one of the most successful among similar programs in about 40 states.

Social Change Starts With Education

I have heard that as much as 90% of the professors in our universities vote as Democrats.
They, of course, brainwash our children to think in the liberal manner.
Imagine if the ratio were shifted to, say, 60% Democrat! Better yet, 50-50!
How to get academia to hire more profs to tell “the other side of the story?”
It would take a grass-roots movement (Fox? Rush?) to purge academia, in which Dad and Mom would press the issue of “Balance in Education.” It’s usually the parents who pay the eductaion bills, so they should be concerned. In fact, there have been signs recently of parents looking for ways to maximize their college investments by negotiating with second-choice schools. Why not demand to know the “political environment and policies” of schools?
The purge could even find its way into high schools!
Think about what it would be like if our younger voters were not so religiously liberal. (Example: Hollywood, which targets everything to the 17 – 25 year-old market, would have to alter story plots to reflect their audiences’ tastes. Maybe now and then the bad guy wouldn’t be a bald, old white man. Maybe movies would even stop blaming America for every problem in the world!)
This would be a change we could really use.
