Supreme Court Candidate a Member of La Raza

Click on the title above for the full story.
It is not surprising that a president who brings admitted tax cheats into his cabinet would nominate a racist and activist judge to the Supreme Court. Amazing, isn't it?

When is Racism Not Racism?

When it's affirmative action.
If a person nominated for an important judgeship were to utter; "I would hope that a wise white man with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a hispanic woman who hasn't lived that life," the nomination would be over and the candidate would slip into oblivion. However, the woman nominated for a seat on the Supreme Court actually did utter; "Second, I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life." Is this the kind of impartiality we want in our courts?

The fact that she will get a "by" on this is another pure example of affirmative action and the harm that it can do to our Union. As for me, I have had enough of this affirmative action crap.

In Memory of John Ford

John Ford was the "F" in FDR Lawn Mowning, a small business that he, my brother George and Bruce Dapkins ran in their teenage years. John passed away suddenly on May 19 at his Maine summer home and today is his funeral service in Bethany, Connecticut.

Our Founding Fathers Would Cringe

The appointment to the Supreme Court is on the record stating that the "Court of Appeals is where policy is made." She then caught herself, realizing that what she said was on tape and trying in a vane attempt to distance herself from the comment. She then goes on the say how a judge must think about a decsion and the ramificatioins it has on other matters. This is blatant activism in the judiciary. Welcome to the further errosion of your rights and our Federal system of government.



And get this, according to Judge Sotomayor, if your state or city bans all guns the way Washington, D.C. did, that’s okay under the Constitution.

Memorial Celebration at Crystal Cathedral

It was a NASCAR Memorial Day Sunday celebration at Crystal Cathedral on the 24th. The morning service was replete with the local VFW post posting the colors, patriotic songs, and the unfurling of a huge American flag about 50 by 100 feet up to the heights of the cathedral. After the service we were treated to a display of NASCA driver Blake Koch’s #21 and burgers by In-N-Out.

Car #21 is sponsored by http://www.godspeaks.com/
Andy will be pleased to know that it is also sponsored by: www.baybiodiesel.com

Bougainvillea in Bloom

The bougainvillea is in full bloom now. You may be surprised to learn that the red color is not a flower or bloom. The red is the leaf of the plant. The flower is the little white things that can be seen in the second picture closeup. Soon I will be trimming it back quite a bit because it grows like a weed and it has very sharp barbs on it. The hummingbirds have been busy in the patio also.

The Socialist are Taking Over - from the RNC

The Obama Democrats and their leftist allies at ACORN, the “Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now,” are doing all they can to cement left-wing rule in Washington for good. Over $50 million in federal funding money has found its way into the hands of ACORN’s leftist activists over the last several years, but now the Democrats are about to make $8.5 billion more in tax-payer funds available to this radical group. All of this for an organization indicted just last week in Nevada, and charged with similar allegations in Pennsylvania, for paying money for fraudulent voter registrations in last November’s election. Minnesota Republican Rep. Michelle Bachmann’s amendment to block indicted organizations from collecting more public funding passed unanimously through the U.S. House Financial Services Committee. But now Committee Chairman Barney Frank, far-left Democrat from Massachusetts, has decided he made a mistake by supporting the amendment, and will now offer his own amendment to restore ACORN’s opportunity of receiving billions of taxpayer dollars. “I did not read it carefully, and it was in the last minute that the amendment was accepted,” said Frank. “It is a deeply flawed amendment and I am opposed to it…” Didn’t read it carefully -- or just now realized what it meant for his pals at ACORN? Since ACORN’s efforts are all about electing leftist Democrats like himself, why would Frank want them to go unrewarded? It’s time we told Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama that we won’t tolerate using our tax dollars to pay off their electoral support machine.
