"Never Worked a Day in Her Life"

Oh, puh-lease. Anyone who says a mother "doesn't work a day in her life" is just an idiot. And now Obama says that Michelle "didn't have the luxury to stay at home." Give me a break. Michelle Obama never wanted to stay at home with her girls. She was a career woman. And, no, it doesn't take "luxury" for a mom to stay at home. My husband was making $30,000 a year when I decided to stay at home with my still in-the-womb baby. We certainly didn't have luxury by any stretch. It was a decision my husband and I made, based on what was best for our child. The luxury I did have was to watch my children grow up to be  young men with values of right and wrong, of taking responsibility, of doing what is right because I, their mother, and my husband, their father, raised them, not someone else. There are some women who do not have the choice to stay at home (for various reasons). And some choose not to stay at home, when they could. But give Ann Romney a break. She worked hard every day as a mother. Very hard. Through cancer and multiple sclerosis. She deserves a medal, not criticism. She is an American hero.

Rally for Rush

Ed Schultz, host of a program on MSNBC, called Laura Ingraham, a conservative radio talk show host, a slut. But not one liberal/Democrat came to her defense, or to the defense of women in general. Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a slut, and all heck breaks out.

Here is an article that gives the history behind these liberal attacks on conservatives in the national media: http://spectator.org/archives/2012/03/05/rally-for-rush/7. Don Imus, Pat Buchanan, Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs have all lost their jobs due to a concerted, organized effort from liberal-leaning activists. And now it's Rush Limbaugh's turn. Read the article. It will be worth your time.

Andrew Breitbart's Passing

It is a tragedy to have lost such a fighter for freedom. Andrew Breitbart will be sorely missed in the conservative movement. May he rest in peace. We will continue on.

Disappointed, to Say the Least

Mitt Romney, the candidate very few Republicans want, won by only 3 percentage points last night in Michigan, his home state and his wife's home state. That says that 59% of Republicans (and whomever else voted) did not vote for him. It's another 2008, where a Moderate Republican might squeak through the conservative lines and actually win the Republican nomination. Combine the percentage points of the other three conservative (mostly) candidates and those figures leave Romney in the dust. So where does that leave those of us who are diligently working to STOP OBAMA? It leaves us discouraged, to say the least.

We need a Bobby Jindal or a Chris Christie (who isn't really a conservative, but he's more likeable and more likely to run a tighter White House ship than Romney) or a Jeb Bush, although, really, I'm not sure Jeb could win against Obama. He is not his brother, but the Bush name is a tough brand to support. It's too late for Jim DeMint; we need a fighter who isn't afraid to say what needs to be said. And so far, the only candidate worth his salt was Rick Perry, and he's out. So where does that leave us? Discouraged, to say the least.

No matter who the Republican candidate is, I will vote for him. Even if it's Romney. I will grit my teeth, hold my nose, and pull the lever for him, because ANY REPUBLICAN is better than Obama. Let's see what happens on Super Tuesday. I would like to see Santorum straighten up his game, keep his mouth shut, and use some common sense on selecting what words he'll allow to escape his lips. He's our only hope, at this point.

Can Santorum Win the White House? Yes, He Can!

I just read a great blog post, and wanted to pass on the link: http://www.redstate.com/nikitas3/2012/02/21/can-santorum-win-the-white-house/

It's really worth your time to read it.

Thank you, Mr. President

Obama has apparently dug his heels in on religious freedom. Despite being hailed as a usurper of First Amendment rights, the president has declared, essentially, that the debate over requiring religiously affiliated organizations to provide coverage for contraceptives has ended, and that the Catholic Church needs to suck it up.

This decision couldn't have come at a better time. This will rejuvenate the Republicans, and especially provide support for Rick Santorum's strong socially conservative positions on the right to life, marriage, and religious freedom. Governor Rick Perry was right when he said that President Obama had declared war on religious freedom. And here we are, facing war over this health care provision. Great timing for conservative Constitutionalists who aren't afraid of the fight.


Obama's Disrespect for Religious Freedom

Obama hasn't read the Constitution lately, which wouldn't surprise conservatives who are strong believers in the Constitution. Reference the First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

"Or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" means that he has no authority to force any kind of legislation regarding any kind of insurance supporting the use of abortifacients upon the Catholic Church or any of its many institutions. This is a freedom fight, not an abortion fight. This is a Constitutional fight, not a Church fight.

Can it be any more clear than this, that this president does not respect the Constitution?

November is coming. Hopefully, Obama will be going.
