Here's What Hope Means...

Hope means that millions of lives will never get a chance to come to fruition. Change means the voices of the voiceless will remain that, voiceless. Economic stimulus comes at the expense of good-paying jobs. So help you God, my ass!

Not even a week into his administration, President Obama has reversed the policy of allocating funds for international pro-abortion groups. That's right, your taxpayer dollar is going overseas to help promote "family planning." Family planning is more than infanticide.

Furthermore, he's still planning on signing the Freedom of Choice Act. In a nutshell, it would shutter thousands of hospitals nationwide, because if a hospital receives any federal money, it would then be required to perform abortions. A spokesman with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said the hospitals would be shut down because they won't perform them in their hospitals...think, St. Vincent and all of its hospitals including the Women's and Peyton Manning Children's, St. Francis and all of its hospitals, including its new Heart Hospital...all gone. And all of the income the physicians, nurses, and staff, gone. All that pro bono work those hospitals do will now disappear for those who need help.

For a man who wants to stimulate the economy, he sure is finding new ways to send it further down the crapper.

Little Bit of This, Little Bit of That

Hope everyone had a great holiday season, whatever the holiday, from Christmas presents to the Festivus airing of grievances, the ball drop on New Year's Eve, and everything in between. The General Assembly is back, and it seems the airing of grievances will continue until April. I took a personal respite, appearing on WFNI (1070 the Fan)'s Voice of the Fan program for two hours yesterday, and had a hoot.

Smoking bans are back. I'm an ex-smoker, but I'm not a Nazi about it. The thing is, stay out of business!! Government, let business owners exercise their rights in their offices or restaurants or halls, and trust the individual to make his own decision. As far as the state budget, I'm more apt to agree with Gov. Daniels. Cuts are painful, but the state has to live within its means. Speaker Bauer wants to dip in the Rainy Day Fund, claiming it's a downpour; my concern is what if it's only the leading edge of an economic hurricane? Then what happens in 2010 if there is no Rainy Day Fund?

It's good to be back on here...what are your thoughts??
