The Washington Times has an editorial discussing President Obama's address to the Congressional Republicans in Baltimore last Friday. The editorial reveals some of his whoppers from the speech.
Addressing Congressional Republicans is a first step toward legislative bipartisanship, but only if Obama loses his "be reasonable, do it my way" approach.
President Obama wallows in the delusion that he is the country's savior and that the Constitution must be trampled for socialist ends.
Personally, I think he is hopeless and the only hope for liberty, and I mean restoring liberty, is to fight Mr. Obama's socialist agenda without compromise.

Superintendent Richard Responds - Perry High School Incident
After a Perry High school teacher in Massillon, Ohio, handed out political activist applications sponsored by the Democratic Party, critics decried the action not only as improper, but also accused the school of socialist indoctrination. According to news reports, Perry superintendent John Richard has received hate mail and suffered calls for his resignation. According to news reports, Superintendent Richard sent home an explanation to parents and considered the matter closed.
I wrote to Superintendent Richard and asked him to respond to three questions, which he has kindly done. I told him I would publish the responses on my blog. Here they are:
1. Was the handing out of the political material in anyway sanctioned by the district, understanding that handing them out violated district policy on distribution of political materials to students?
2. Was the teacher in question disciplined in any way (e.g., reprimand, suspension etc) and if not, why not, since district policy was violated?
3. What steps are being taken to prevent a recurrence?
My thanks to Superintendent Richard for his responsiveness. I hope that all who read his responses will be satisfied that responsive action was taken.

No, it was not approved.
2. Was the teacher in question disciplined in any way (e.g., reprimand, suspension etc) and if not, why not, since district policy was violated?
There was discipline involved.
3. What steps are being taken to prevent a recurrence?
I respect Superintendent Richard's decision not to disclose the precise discipline, as it is probably best kept as an internal personnel matter. Still it is good to learn that the district did not merely look the other way when its policy was violated.
I reminded all staff of our policy, and our building principals will do the same.
My thanks to Superintendent Richard for his responsiveness. I hope that all who read his responses will be satisfied that responsive action was taken.
When It Came to Himself, An Advocate of the Single Payer System Rejected It
Danny Williams, the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador is coming to the United states for Heart surgery. Story here. This is the same guy who was touting the benefits of the single payer system two years ago (video at link).
Of course, we will pray that his rejection of Canada's single payer system, hypocritical though it is, saves his life.

Feminist Takes on Hate Group NOW
The Washington Post is carrying an opinion piece by feminist Nancy Jenkins who is excoriating that nationally known hate group NOW for its intolerant attitude toward the Tim Tebow anti abortion ad scheduled for the Super Bowl. An excerpt:
I'm pro-choice, and Tebow clearly is not. But based on what I've heard in the past week, I'll take his side against the group-think, elitism and condescension of the "National Organization of Fewer and Fewer Women All The Time." For one thing, Tebow seems smarter than they do.Read it all.
The Ethically Challenged Nancy Pelosi
Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act request has obtained documents that reveal among other things, that Nancy Pelosi commandeered military aircraft for the personal use of her relatives. Details are at the Doug Ross Journal.
Forget illegal immigrants. I think we need a fence around San Francisco to keep Nancy Pelosi out.
Is it any wonder that Jack Cafferty called her a "horrible woman?"

Crime May be Hazardous to the Criminal's Health
From the Buckeye Firearms Association:
Read it all.
The Lima News is reporting that the number of people obtaining licenses to carry a concealed handgun exploded in 2009 to as high as 500 percent in some northwest Ohio counties.
And that has county sheriffs offering words of caution - to criminals:
"I hope criminals think twice before they attempt to steal from someone or harm someone," remarked Auglaize County Sheriff Al Solomon.
Allen County Sheriff Sam Crish added, "With the numbers growing, it's a huge risk if you're committing some type of offense you don't know who may be carrying."
