Obama is on vacay...

which means we are, too.

Whenever that "man" leaves the country, I breathe easier.  Other than embarrassing us with his gauche behavior (I can live with that), his capacity to do more damage to this country is somewhat mitigated by his absence.  Unfortunately, he keeps coming back.

The sun is shining and I have four flats of plants that need to be potted.  Here are some things that will stimulate your intellect until I return.

John Carey gives us much to think about:  Our system is not broken; However, Something else is

Think the matter of homosexual "marriage" is just about two people who love each other and won't have any affect on society or religious freedom?  Better think again.  If it's really all about "tolerance" and "rights", then explain to me why someone should be forced to accommodate them even it goes against their beliefs.  Where's the tolerance in that attitude? 


From Americans for Truth:

Homosexuality in the Heartland
Naturally, efforts to transform American law to affirm people practicing same-sex behavior have collided with the religious and First Amendment liberties of those who disagree with homosexuality. In Illinois, shortly after lame-duck passage of the ”civil unions” bill, a homosexual  male couple targeted Paxton bed-and-breakfast owners Jim and Beth Walder, who have held wedding ceremonies on their property. The “gay” activists seek to use the new law to FORCE the Walders to use their own private business (and property) to host homosexual “civil union” ceremonies against their Christian conscience.  read it all

Backyard Conservative:   Contrary to popular belief, patients with public insurance, such as Medicaid, account for a higher proportion of emergency department visits than the uninsured 
I have never understood people who use the emergency room like a doctor's office.  Never.  I didn't even go to the emergency room when I broke my leg.  I hopped (literally) into a walk-in clinic and, after a few x-rays, they strapped me into a boot.  I paid about $500.00 and was good to go. 

Reaganite Republican gives us an in-depth look at what could possibly be Sarah Palin's new home.  We lived in Sedona for 12 years and in Scottsdale for two years.  As I've already told RR, if she only paid 1.6 million for that house, she got a steal.   Sarah Palin Reportedly Aquires $1.6M Home in Scottsdale, Arizona (photos)
