icon1 admin | icon2 News | icon4 12 18th, 2008|

Every American voter who is considering voting for Barack Obama should read this article, published in the Evening Standard in the UK, about Barack Obama and his promises.

Obama visited Kenya with great fanfare after being elected a U.S. Senator, and became an instant folk hero. The village that was home to his father even renamed their school after the Senator. He made promises to help support the school, which was in serious need Read the rest of this entry »

Another Free Pass for Obama
icon1 admin | icon2 News | icon4 12 17th, 2008|

How many of you heard about the cost of Barack Obama’s two trips to Hawaii, once for vacation in August (which caused him to refuse a request for a military townhall in Texas), and again last week to visit his ailing grandmother?

Seems that those trips, in a private chartered 757, cost his campaign more than $400,000 EACH, for purely personal trips. He did no campaigning on either trip.

Yet no one in the mainstream media mentioned his waste Read the rest of this entry »

Founder’s Views on Balance of Power
icon1 admin | icon2 News | icon4 12 17th, 2008|

Our founding fathers were especially careful to create a government that had a system of checks and balances, so that no one branch of government had any more power than another, and each would keep an eye on attempted usurpation of power by the others.

Should Barack Obama be elected President next week, we will have both the executive and legislative branches of our government controlled by liberal Democrats. And eventually the judicial branch as well, because the next president will likely appoint more than one new Supreme Court Justice. That leaves NO branch of government to keep the others in balance. It would leave our entire government controlled by liberal Democrats.

That should cause a reason for concern, and we urge voters who are still undecided between the two candidates at this point to consider voting for the systems of checks and balances that has worked well for our country for more than 200 years.

“I acknowledge, in the ordinary course of government, that the exposition of the laws and Constitution devolves upon the judicial.

“But I beg to know upon what principle it can be contended that any one department draws from the Constitution greater powers than another in marking out the limits of the powers of the several departments.”

— James Madison
