Pennsylvanian For President Ron Paul

Pennsylvanian For President Ron Paul — After his show finish in Iowa, Ron Paul’s strong place behind Willard Mitt Romney tonight in New Hampshire means he will be a factor to be recognized this election year.

Paul, who made his fame as a Houston-area congressman, was born in Pittsburgh and grew up in Green Tree, Pa.

While his foreign policy is a tad scary he does have his points. When the Soviet Union fell 20 years ago, why did NATO remain?

And he is dead right when it comes to sound money and pointing out that inflation merely transfers wealth from the middle class and poor to the already rich.

And congrats to Romney who made a very fine victory speech. I still won’t vote for him until I have to.

White House Halloween Bash Photos

White House Halloween Bash Photos — The pseudonymous poster, Zombie, of PajamasMedia.com has tracked down photos of the 2009 Obama Halloween Party.

They can be found at this link.

Why will they upset most thinking people? Because the place where matters of war and peace, and life and death, and crime and punishment are considered shouldn’t be made into a joke by Hollywood hipsters waxing ironic.

Be proud Obama voters.

That wasn’t irony but sarcasm.

PSEA Republicans

PSEA Republicans — Tea Party activist Bob Guzzardi has compiled a list of Republican legislators that have accepted contributions from the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA).

The PSEA is the union that represents most public school teachers in the state and, ironically, is very likely the most anti-child, anti-education and anti-senior citizen organization in the state.

Here is Bob’s list — with his comments — of those who accepted contributions in 2010, which was the last legislative election year:

Senator Dominic Pileggi Senate Majority Leader what does that tell you?

HOUSE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE  $5,0000    MAY 6, 2010

Sam Smith Republican Speaker of the House

Republican House Majority Leader Mike Turzai.

Bill Adolph Chair of House Appropriations Delco  elected in 1989

Matt Baker northeast Penna

Karen Boback – she is major recipient of PSEA money and a former school teacher.

Mike Vereb  Montgomery County – He is in House leadership.

Chris Ross – from southern Chester County, very, very liberal

Marguerite Quinn  Bucks County, part of BucksCo Establishment as you know

Nick Micozzie   Uber Hack Delaware County, entrenched and entwined with Establishment. Has been in office since 1979.

Rick Geist  Transportation Committee Chair  Blair County has been in office since 1979 also

Bernie O’Neill from Bucks, like Marguerite Quinn

Gene DiGirolamo of Bucks County  integral to unions and O’Neill/Quinn BucksCo RINO Republican

Glenn Grell   Cumberland County

Jim Marshall   defeated Mike Veon

John Taylor Philadelphia, need I say more

Denny O’Brien  another Philadelphia phony R

Ron Miller  this is a shock. He is supposed to introduce Right to Work Republican York County

Senator Jake Corman, chair of Senate Appropriations Committee and interested in running for US Senate against Bob Casey.

Senator John Rafferty Chester DelCo closely allied with Sen. Pileggi

Senator Pat Browne Lehigh County

Senator Stewart Greenleaf Montgomery County very nice man, very well intentioned man AND very, very liberal man

Senator Ted Erickson DelCo and very close ally of Senator Pileggi

Note the number in leadership positions.

And some wonder why even with Republicans in charge we can’t end fire bad teachers or end teacher strikes.

Thank you, Bob. Click here for a link to Bob’s file where he includes his sourcing.

RoboCop Has Arrived With The BodyGuard Arm Guard

RoboCop Has Arrived — Believe it or not someone has brought to market a black, Kevlar, cotton, Nomex glove designed to protect one from mountain lion attacks and street muggings. The BodyGuard 9XI-HD01 by ArmStar comes in small, medium and large sizes and covers the forearm to above the elbow.

It includes a LED flashlight, a digital camera and, best of all, electrodes that can be used to make a scary loud sparking sound or placed against an aggressor — or mountain lion — to deliver a high voltage shock.

Larry Weathers R.I.P.

Larry Weathers Jr.  died yesterday, Jan. 6, 21 months after being diagnosed with  metastatic melanoma. He was 80.

Mr. Weathers was the proprietor of Weathers Motors the auto dealership at 1187 Baltimore Pike, Middletown Township, Delaware County, Pa.

It was started as Weathers Dodge in 1922 by his father, Lawrence Sr., on land next to his family’s grocery store. It remained a Dodge dealership until May 2009 when Chrysler — with the federal government now holding a significant stake in it — announced that franchise agreements wouldn’t be renewed with 789 dealerships nationwide.

Rather than fold, Mr. Weathers and his son, Lawrence III, turned it into Weathers Motors, which has become a very highly regarded auto repair shop and dealer of used vehicles.

R.I.P. Mr. Weathers.

Blame For School Closings Belongs To Catholics

The Philadelphia Archdiocese announced, yesterday, that the 49 of its schools will be shut forever come June.

The schools are Monsignor Bonner and Archbishop Prendergast high schools in Upper Darby, and elementary schools Annunciation BVM in Haverford Township; St. Cyril of Alexandria in East Lansdowne; Our Lady of Fatima in Secane, Ridley Township; St. Gabriel in Norwood; Holy Savior-St. John Fisher in Lower Chichester;  St. Francis de Sales in Aston and St. John Chrysostom in Nether Providence.

Some of their students will go to other Catholic schools. Others will enter the public school system further increasing the tax burden on property owners in those unlucky districts.

Who is to blame? A lot, maybe most, of the parents who send their kids to these Catholic schools are dyed-in-the wool Democrats who’d rather have a toenail ripped out than vote Republican, as are a lot, maybe most, of the teachers at these places. They cannot even begin to get their minds around the fact that their party is the puppet of the PSEA, the union that represents most Pennsylvania public school teachers (and nurses and librarians etc.) and that fights like a rabid badger for every penny of the education budget regardless of who it hurts.

They cannot even start to fathom that their party is the toy of the trial lawyers who get warm and fuzzy at the notion of seeing criminal acts treated as civil torts so their wallets get fatter and who cares if all it does is harm the schools and hospitals and turn the victims into male prostitutes.

Who is to blame? Catholics, look in the mirror.

A Needed Respite

The Roar

A Needed Respite

I must ask, what has and is happening to us as a free people?  I ask this, with regards to this current political assault season against the Presidential challenging party.  What has happened to our American decorum?

Questions flit through my “windmills” and often I am at a loss to answer.  Just where did this debating season originate?  I seem to remember debates of a chosen candidate from one party against the opposition’s chosen candidate.  But when did this endless prime time primary debating sessions begin?  I am at a loss.  Is it just a profitable moment for the networks?  Is the  damage inflicted upon one’s character and reputation the going price?  Or are Presidential contests nothing more than a Sunday/Monday night political contest of survival?  Is the quest for TV ratings now into our leadership selections?

As I watch what is happening to those who for some reason put their personal lives on hold in order to serve our Country, I recall when such devotion precluded all of this intricate inspection.  Not only precluded but such individuals were treated with respect.

Questions remain from the recent accusations which have already reshaped our primary leadership ledger.  Were those accusers in it just to take Cain out of contention?  More importantly, where is the journalist’s integrity to finish a story which is only half written?   It seems that after Cain dropped out, so did the media’s quest for truth and closure.  But, what about those poor victims?

This obvious ruse against Cain is a sad asterisk to our free elections.  Whether one supported his candidacy or not, this sort of character assassination is third world.  If this behavior is not addressed properly, it will become a political weapon and will eventually discourage the qualified to run.

To say that corruption has entered our election process would be an understatement.  The signs are everywhere.  So is the public’s quiet apathy.  In response to this apparent primary sham, we need to become jealously protective of our American system, regardless of our party affiliations.  We also need to understand what has led us to this election subterfuge.  We must to take an active part in all that makes America strong and we can start by acting like that rare breed that we are.  Americans!  Free and forever freedom loving.
