TU: Arlington dog park plan sparks Jacksonville City Council debate

I am very apposed to this money being spent on a dog park or anything else, and I am also not really happy with the plan for the city to buy up even more of the down town for the "sports complex" future use at this time. It has nothing to do with being a "small government" person. We have roughly 10% unemployment in the city of Jacksonville, have seen fees and other costs go up in relation to running this city government..........every year including this…

Articles on the Governor of Michigan Cleaning House in His State.............Unreal if you have not heard about it.

 

Have any of you been following some of this??? I saw something on Facebook a couple of days ago, and personally was blown away someone would try to actually fix the mess in Michigan :) and have only just had a chance to check it out this morning......there is more, but as you can see this has been going on for a while. Apparently, according to one of these articles, the same thing…

Conservative Byte: Obama Thinks America Has Never Worked

Right here in Florida.  Our marxist "leader" of the free world is spewing his ideology; heaven help us!

 

2/24/2012

Late yesterday afternoon, this is in the Coral Gables, this is at a fundraiser, this is after Obama sang the praises of pond scum as the next substitute for oil.

OBAMA: We’ve gotta make sure that everybody’s doing their fair share. Everybody needs a fair shot, everybody’s gotta play by the same set of rules,…

Union Thugs Target Wisconsin Governor and True the Vote Steps Up

Unions submitted fraudulent petitions and True the Vote Steps Up Again

The unions mobilized and garnered 1 million signatures for the recall, much more than enough. But now it appears that they used the ACORN vote registration fraud method of swamping state authorities with bogus documents. Some of…

The Blaze: Muslim Admits Attacking Atheist Over ‘Zombie Muhammed’ Costume, Muslim Judge Dismisses Case, Lectures Atheist on Joys of Islam

For those who do not understand there is a problem in our court system.............this is happening and it is real.  We need laws that protect the rule of law and the laws of our country as stated in the constitution and not judges who use personal bias to make decisions or edicts from the bench.  The judge that did this should be removed from the bench and have his license to practice law taken away from…

The Hill: Democratic governors discuss bypassing Congress with Obama

If you know anyone who lives in a state with a democratic governor, you better warn them that their governor may be following Obama off the same law breaking cliff.  I can't imagine what they can be thinking of since half of the congress is the democratic senate, and even they will not pass the things Obama is pushing..............and all these states can do is push more of the people who actually run businesses and have any money at all out of their states, and then, where will…

Action required: Tallahassee; House Bill 2012/HB1209 and Senate Bill 2012/S1360

We need to contact the governor and our STATE representatives about these bills, and an attempt might be made to contact those on the senate committee (if it passes the house, but does not pass the senate, it won't fly...........but what the bill appears to say is no law used in any court in our state that does not comply with state law and the US constitution carries the force of law  period...............and it does not say anything about Sharia law..........it basically says…

TU: Two articles of interest about a couple of things going on up in Georgia

I found both of these articles to be of interest to those who follow what is going on up in Georgia.  The first is about blocking funding for abortions and the second attempts to stop Sharia law from being used in the courts and it is getting mixed reviews, because it is not all that simple and contains elements which may be less than desireable.  Enjoy!

TU: Jacksonville City Council panel looks for ideas to upgrade Hemming Plaza

Let's see, in today's paper we have learned the city is going bankrupt because of pensions, but heah, no point in the city council focusing on the negative stuff when they have all this fluffy stuff.  Hre is my take on Hemming Plaza................what do you think we should do? 

Why not do what a number of other cities have done and privatize Hemming Plaza. Cities that have privatized parks, have trendy little boutiques and food vendors that…

TU: Jacksonville could face $500 million bill over workers not in city pension plan

We have more to worry about than "doggy parks" and land we don't need to be buying for the sports complex.  I guess for this issue, I am trying to figure out why these folks can sue for being put in social security.  I personally think the city employees should be on social security just like all the folks who are paying their salaries!   And they stopped putting there is 2010..............why?  It is and was a good idea as the city can't afford these lush pensions when the rest…

TU: Mayor Alvin Brown promises Jacksonville pension reform, but the 'how' remains elusive

Good luck with that if the city council keeps cutting people's pay to use to buy more land in the sports complex and on "doggy" parks.  Common sense seems to be something council members, save one or two, seem to lose if left in office for 2 terms..................................Let's hope some of these folks don't run for state offices now that they have cast their conservative, common sense principles aside.

TU: JTA board chairman blasts management

I guess my questions to this man is "Where were you?" and "Why didn't you know what was going on?". This is shameful and trying to blame others to deflect fault from yourself is about as bad as it gets. Where is the person who is going to say they are sorry, I was responsible, and I didn't do the job I am being paid to do...............and where are the resignations of those who were ultimately responsible for knowing what was going on that make the big bucks? The men in charge…

Red State: The Elephant in the Room

I don't know about you, but I don't know about you, but I don't want a team player who goes against their principles. I want someone who stands by their principles even when it is really hard to do, because you are badly outnumbered!  I am very disappointed in some of what was said at the debate the other evening...............how do you feel?

The Blaze: Ariz. Bill Would Fire Teachers for Bringing ‘Partisan’ Opinions Into the Classroom

Just my personal opinion, but IT IS ABOUT TIME!!!!!  

 

2/22/2012

Teachers in Arizona would automatically be fired for bringing “partisan doctrine” into their classrooms under a bill pending before the state legislature.

Arizona Senate bill 1202 is meant to ensure students get a balanced view of what they’re taught in school, Capitol Media Services…

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
