Barocky Road Ice Cream




BASKIN-ROBBINS NEW ICE CREAM FLAVOR


In honor of the 44th President of the United States , Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor: " Barocky Road ."


Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.

The cost is $100.00 per scoop.

When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you.

You are left with an empty wallet and no change, holding an empty cone with no hope of getting any ice cream.


Are you stimulated?

Senior Health Care

The Perfect Solution to Senior Health Care
(Tongue in cheek)
While discussing the upcoming Universal Health Care Program with my sister-in-law the other day, I think we have found the solution. I am sure you have heard the ideas that if you’re a senior you need to suck it up and give up the idea that you need any health care. A new hip? Unheard of. We simply can't afford to take care of you anymore. You don't need any medications for your high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems, etc. Let’s take care of the young people. After all, they will be ruling the world very soon.
So here is the solution. When you turn 70, you get a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot 2 senators and 2 representatives. Of course, you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head and all the health care you need! New teeth, great! Need glasses, no problem. New hip, knee, kidney, lung, heart? Well bring it on. And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that you are too old for health care. And, since you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income tax.
I really think we have found a Perfect Solution!

Attack of the Liberals

While on twitter today, I had my first, and most assuredly not my last, personal attack by a Liberal advocating NObama's healthcare reform. I was called, illiterate, a liar, an idiot and a moron. I was also called DUDE, and since I am not a dude, nor illiterate, liar, idiot or moron, I really did not take any offense.

What struck me as annoying, was that during the diatribe, no useful facts were presented. How can there be discourse when no facts are presented, rather percentages pulled out of thin air, slogans and rhetoric? How can we move to compromise, understanding or even honest debate when there is nothing but scurrilous comments?

The Liberal that I replied to on Twitter, ignored facts concerning the Health Care legislation, specifically HB 3200. I asked about abortion being funded by the government plan, his response was, it doesn't say that in the bill. Since when did something "not" in legislation mean that it couldn't be done? Democrats are also up in arms about the language of the bill which does NOT say that abortion will be EXCLUDED.

I talked about the potential for Tort Reform. His response (by the way I found out later he is a lawyer) was that whenever TCOT people talk about Health care they always shout TORT REFORM. Well I have never used that until today. He stated that only 0.3% of Health Care costs are attributed to what Tort Reform would eliminate. Where he got this figure? Don't know and personally don't care. What are our physicians paying in Malpractice Insurance? What chunk of their earnings is used to protect them from Ambulance chasing attorneys?

He also tossed in the AMA supporting the Health Care bill. Well I asked him, 1. Did you know that only about 20% of physicians belong to AMA? 2. The AMA as late as May rejected a government plan of Healthcare, so why the change? His answer was merely to tell me I didn't read the Bill (HB 3200).

WHY? WHY? WHY? Why won't liberals attack with facts, data and research? Give me verifiable information.

Liberals Vitriol

Why the Nasty Slurs by Liberals

When debate ensues between Conservatives and Liberals, I have noticed that generally speaking Liberals hurl slurs faster and with more venom than the typical Conservative. While there are always extremes with nastiness flowing from both sides, I , personally have found that the bloviating Liberals repeatedly dodge the facts, and try to bury you with their vitriol. I have no objection, in fact I welcome, rational and factual discourse with those of opposing views. Unfortunately on Twitter as well as with my Liberal friends, I have found that accurate and veritable dialogue is quickly entombed with party-line slogans, inane declarations and more than enough finger pointing (i.e. Bush administration), that in an effort to state facts, I first have to shovel this diatribe before trying to discuss facts.

Liberals have their points. I would like to hear them. I would love to discuss these facts, and points of view, yet I can't seem to get past the acrimony to deal with the issues. I know that obfiscation is a great tool, especially if you want to point out that the Emperor is not really wearing any clothes, but how can you possibly dissect the tailor when you haven't even admitted that the Emperor is naked?

Where are the facts? Liberals for ever Global Warming...oops, I think it is now called Climate Change, since Global warming was too descriptive, and could readily be refuted. Just as in a courtroom, each side can present evidence to disprove the other sides contentions. So instead of paying for 'experts', lets really dig into the issue to get some factual information before creating an entire industry surrounding a potential myth?

I suppose one could say (Liberal that is) that this Green Industry is part and parcel of a stimulus to create jobs....but then who would get the credit for it? Certainly not our sitting President. Yet more than creating perfidious positions, this mythomania has allowed government to grow and now is insidiously encroaching upon our homes. (Capandtrade).

I digress, because what I really wanted to speak on is the hate, enmity and viciousness with which some Liberals attack factual information, as well as people with opposing views. I am not as baffled, but rather saddened that some on the left do not even wish an honest discourse, and would rather hurl attacking verbiage at Conservatives. Just look at what the State Run Media has done to Sarah Palin.

I just want to reiterate that Conservatives, do not give up, never give in to this type of verbal assault. Do not counter it with spitefulness, or malevolence, rather keep to the facts, keep to the truth. Stand tall and stand proud for your views and your Country.

Yes we can-NO YOU DIDN'T

When will the majority of Americans wake up to the call? At what point does the average American realize that this Administration is hell-bent on driving our economy into the arms of Socialism? When does the "we can" become "we didn't"?

Lets look at some of the issues brought forth by our President in his first months of office.
TARP fund continuation that left many banking/Insurance (AIG) without any oversight into their spending. Enormous Stimulus package that did not increase jobs, that has not trickled down, unemployment a full 1.5% higher than the Biden/Obama predicition, that has increased the National Deficit to over $1.1 Trillion, and has given money to singularly useless projects.

CBS Reports on Stimulus money to Small, little used Airports. Why did CBS jump off the Obama bandwagon? Of course there are opposing views on the use of this money, like

Obama's stimulus aimed at smaller airports: CBS misses the point, however even this article seemed inane considering that they stated the intent on the Stimulus package was to stimulate local economies. I find it vacuous that stimulating the population of Ouizinkie, population 165, was stimulated to the tune of $15 billion.


Jumping back to the TARP funding, lets examine the recent bill that Rep. Barney Frank wants to do with the repayment funds of those former TARP recipients. Calling it the "TARP for Main Street Act of 2009". Not only are these companies repaying money from the Government (please read that as you and me) but now Mr. Frank wants to use that money (which was borrowed from you and me) to subsidize other interests.


When will we wake up? I haven't even touched on the cost of Health Care reform, nor the Cap and Trade issues that will put the US Deficit deeper in the black hole. That will be the next blog.

Sarah Palin Resignation


Sarah Palin Under Attack


Is there nothing this woman can do without being criticized? Skirt too short, too cute, too down home, intellectually shallow, doesn't follow through, a quitter. EGADS, I am surprised, after all the vitriol that the State Run Media has thrown at her, that she still is sane.

Every Left-Wing blogger who thinks they can spell, has taken aim at Governor Palin. Oh, and what do they cite? Vanity Fair? Well yes, of course, that is where I get all my hard core political information. Along with Fashion, Entertainment and other contrite run-of-the-mill tabloidesque chatter.

When, please tell me, WHEN did this woman have a fair chance with the State Run Media? She has been snipped at, unflatteringly imitated (ala Tina Fey), her children have been lambasted by David Letterman, and where has the media been for her? No Where. Rather they see her as a political threat. Oh, yes, I forgot, how much of a threat can she be without any pertinent experience? And WAIT she is a quitter...she left i.e.'quit' her post as Governor of Alaska.

What about NOBama? Is the media's memory so short and lacking that they don't recall a mere 8 months ago when NoBama quit his Senate post, oh but yes, He was elected Prez. Well, I forgot how many meetings, votes committee's he missed. And of course the Bloggers were there to support him...."The Actual OBama Senate Resignation" Print it out and Keep it.
(Interesting points in some of the comments on this Blog).

Yet lets go back to the original question. Why did the media so vehemently attack Sarah Palin? And a better question is: Why do they KEEP attacking her?

Twitter me






Give me a tweet. Enjoy logical and factual information from any and all conservatives as well as any Liberal that doesn't mind discussing with facts.

Honestly Me




What I think and feel will be posted here, but be warned my passion is for this Country and the disaster into which we are spiraling. The Future is calling and it is getting a busy signal. Let's hope with some change it will not find us disconnected.


Years ago, I used to be quite the Liberal. But as Winston Churchill so succinctly stated:

“If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”


I have found that I have not sacrificed my heart for my brain. I have found that speaking out as a Liberal is no different than speaking my mind as a Conservative. Well there is one difference, I now am armed with facts and passion, not just passion as in my youth.

We must always question WHY of our government. Not simply because we want answers to the confusion that is evident in all governing agencies, but because we MUST. A government unchallenged by the people is a tyranny. We must question, we must challenge and we certainly must hold our elected officials responsible for our will.

Since starting on Twitter, I have once again become inflamed with the need to educate those who, so gullibly, swallow whatever pablum the government doles out to them. I have no fear to have my loyalty to this Country challenged, for I am truly an American. I have no fear of being questioned about my views, for I am enlightened concerning them. I welcome the opportunity to be queried about my convictions, for in that inquiry, I might illuminate the mind of those who do not see in the dark.

I, as a few others that I know, will continue to keep my anonymity because I also have lost friends (perhaps that is a loose word to use) because of my conservative views. I have been censored by these "friends" on other social networking sites, so unfortunate as it is, in the Greatest Country of the World, to have to hide behind a pen name, so it shall be.
