Pointing Fingers

James Furguson (Daily Press April 4) makes a most excellent observation when he states “they are everything they accuse others of being”.  And that is precisely what the mainstream media desires, is to selectively print what they want us to know so as to control the truth and facts.  A perfect example would be found in the sports section of the same issue where it is pointed out that the unintended... 

Manipulating the numbers

Mr. Rainey (Daily Press April 21) has learned well from his left-wing cohorts,  and has gladly consumed the Koolaid.     As Fox stated, the members of the Tea Party are a “broad cross section, representation of Americans”- it did not say it was the population at large-   It is similar to creating 3 million jobs vs. saving 3 million jobs (a big difference and a manipulative play on words). ... 

Victorville’s Northern Triangle, Part Deux

I just finished reading two stories in the Daily Press about Victorville and it left me scratching my head. One of the stories had to do with the annexation of an additional 32 square miles of unincorporated county land into Victorville’s sphere of influence. The second story was about the forensic audit of the city’s finances requested by council member Ryan McEachron of the City of Victorville.... 

Reality Check

Reading Robin Carstairs always reminds me of the little girl sticking her fingers in her ears while babbling “I cant hear you- nanny, nanny, nanny”. The Kaiser Foundation, a liberal institution, reports that of 45 million uninsured, 15 million are here illegally, 15 million make $50,000 or more annually and choose not to have insurance, and up to10 million are eligible for free or substantially... 

Common Ground

Without a doubt, all Americans, regardless of party, desire affordable, accessible and quality health care. There can also be no doubt that American Health care is second to none as can be illustrated by the fact that Americans have a higher survival rate than any other country on earth for 13 of 16 of the most common cancers. If you remove the homicide rate and accidental death rates, US citizens... 

The wrong side of politics…

For far too long, the homeowner has been portrayed as the victim.  Allow me to correct myself, it is the  delinquent homeowner who has been used a tool by the left to demonstrate the gravity of our current economy.  This is so far from the truth and extortion of reality, it is difficult to believe that anyone who really considers the message, would actually believe it.  Unless, of course, you are... 

Te root of the problem.

  With much mud slinging about the causes of the downturn in the economy, it has been convenient to blame the sub-prime mortgage industry as the Grinch who stole Christmas.   However, this is what that policy is, convenient.  Convenient in that, much like the RTC debacle, politicians, think-tanks and consumers have largely glanced over the much bigger issues that led to and largely contributed... 

Socialists against Walgreen’s

  With respect to David Keck’s editorial and waste of space, who is he to tell Walgreen’s how to enforce their corporate policy, to which the terminated employee agreed to abide. It is unfortunate that Mr. Keck believes that saving a  drowning child is comparable to stealing from your employer.  If the employee was so interested in helping this homeless person, he could have given him his own... 

Sex Education (indoctrination…)

  … And what if the experts are wrong?   What if after spending $200 million per year on sex education in our public schools, and after spending 100’s of millions of dollars paying for abortions, that the new experts find the former were mistaken? What if a mother and father taught their daughter that engaging in sex not only brings with it the physical risks (as 4 million teenage girls... 

Red and Blue States-Should be Black and White

  Stan Brown’s response to my  comments about sexual educational, I believe, went a long way to prove my point:  Education is a key factor to lowered unwed pregnancy rates, along with a much lower percentage of single parent households, and a much lower level of poverty.  Which all ties into the fact that there is a strong correlation of a two parent household and attaining an education.  So...
