Arrogant CNN Reporter

After the cameras quit rolling, Founding bloggers kept theirs rolling. I just love this woman at the end. She stood firm & did not back down.

Tea Party Slogans

I was unfortunate to attend the Tea Party in my area, so I watched Hannity last night. There was a great turn out in Atlanta. Lots of signs expressing how America feels about our government. The slogans on the signs were great. I want to know what was your favorite one?

April 15th Tea Party

I was unable to attend the Tea Party in my area. I did have to work (only to give the majority of my earnings back). I would love to hear how they went in any area. Please leave a comment on this site, email me some pictures or send me a tweet.

Who's Accountable?

Last Saturday morning three police officers were shot & killed. This was marked as a very tragic day in the city of Pittsburgh.

Richard Poplawski, 23-year-old, killed three police officers, evidently out of fear that his guns were going to be taken away. He was a supremacist who frequented one of the most popular neo-Nazi websites and harbored great anger for the federal government. Hearing some of these details, the young man was very disturbed.

According to a criminal complaint, Poplawski's mother called police shortly after 7 a.m., saying she wanted her son out of the house "because he was giving her a hard time." She said she had awakened and confronted him after discovering that a dog had urinated on the floor, and the two had argued.

Police then responded to the house for a domestic call. The over all outcome, three police killed & two injured.

I raise these questions.

1. Why did the police not know that he had guns in the home?
Did the dispatcher not do her job or do the the dispatchers need additional training?

2. Why didn't the mother press the issue that her son had weapons in the home? She had to of known that he had the guns. I think that she is at fault.

3. Did the police have bullet proof jackets on?
Shouldn't they be trained to prepare for the worst? You never know what you are going to get into in domestic disturbances. People have obtained guns without having the guns legally registered.

4. Why didn't the mother get her son psychiatric help? It is obvious that that her son was disturbed.

5. Where is dad? Just because your son is grown, doesn't mean you stop being a parent.

In addition to Poplawski, do you think any one else is also accountable? I want to hear from you.

HR 1388-GIVE Act Passes in the House

Volunteer or else


What is the HR 1388-GIVE Act? I have been doing some searching on this bill. It stands for Generations Invigorating Volunteerism & Education Act. In a nutshell, the “GIVE” act, would require the US government to develop a plan to implement a “mandatory service requirement for all able young people”.



Voluntary
according to Webster means: proceeding from the will or from one's own choice or consent, having power of free choice, acting or done of one's own free will without valuable consideration or legal obligation.

When I was young I volunteered as a volunteer at a local hospital. Nobody made me do it. It was my choice. It gave my an opportunity to get a feel for the hospital environment. It was during this time I was deciding on Nursing as a career.

We live in a country that is free. We have the ability to make choices. If my kids want to volunteer, well then that is their choice. Who is the government to tell my children that they MUST do volunteer work.


Once again the America has taken another step towards socialism. Maybe even Communism? Does this not violate our Constitution? You decide.
