Pelosi's war on women

so let me get this straight: Early this week Pelosi said a reporter questioning her ability to serve as minority leader is sexist.

BUT......  This same week when a fellow democrat ; Tammy Duckworth asked if because of her current medical condition of being 8 months pregnant and in a wheel chair if she could vote by proxy due to her doctor not wanting her to travel because of the late nature of her pregnancy.  All the vote is for, is to elect caucus leadership.
This request was denied by Pelosi

If you are unfamiliar with Tammy Duckworth, she is also an Iraqi war veteran and lost both her legs while serving. I may not agree with her politics, but she deserves more then that from the party she represents..  If I were her, I would change affiliation.

oh, BTW this is the same democrat party  who  pressed  for the passage of legislation to protect pregnant women in the workplace. In that legislation and I quote:

"The new guidelines from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission make clear that any form of workplace discrimination or harassment against pregnant workers by employers is a form of sex discrimination and illegal."

Pelosi is arguing that voting by proxy for caucus leadership is against the rules, and not allowed, and if they do it for one person then everyone will want to do it. But, several aids in anonymity have come out and said...that may be so, but  the caucus is allowing three members whose Election Day races have not yet been called to be allowed to vote, as if they've won reelection already. But, here you have a woman, a decorated war veteran who is undergoing a high-risk pregnancy, and they can't suspend the rules," said one of the aides.

so can someone please tell me who exactly has the war on women?

Are You All Warm and Fuzzy?

Last night was the State of the Union Address.  Senior and I listened even though I can not stand the sound of POTUS's voice.  It is just kind of fun to watch expressions on the audience, and listen to the lies he tells.  Senior and I took part in the online political poll with Bing.  I kept hitting that "Strongly Disagree" button like I was a contestant on Jeopardy.

Instead of mentioning the  millions that are unemployed..he talked about the few who do have jobs. And how fantabulous it is that people are getting back to work.
He showcased a lady who has been on unemployment that wrote him a letter.. well my thought is if she is unemployed , and struggling to make ends meet, then how the heck did she afford to travel to Washington D. C ?
And then Senior said " We paid for it"     "DUH" !

Next was how spectacular Obama Care is.. No mention of the folks who have lost insurance because of it. The camera went to the face of Kathleen Sebelius..did you see how she rolled her eyes and shook her head?
Then he decided once again to trample on the Constitution, and warn of using executive powers to invoke his will on the people. That is when I got a good glimpse of John Boehners face, he looked like a man who just ate the worlds hottest pepper... 

Did you also hear the race card dropped?  " We must do more for the young black men of this country" or something like that..... 

BO  Painted the picture of  a Rockwellian Society...every thing is just warm and fuzzy. Don't you feel all better now?

Military Health Care Cuts

  Our men and women raised their hands and pledged an oath to this country. To honor it and defend it. For decades they have done their jobs, and now because our government can not pay its bills, they want to cut health care benefits to our active duty and retired personnel... BUT, the unionized DoD is not affected...WTF!!!!

A few years ago, when Senior was still active, and I regularly used the base clinic and pharmacy. I heard some thing similar to this from a Pharm. Tech Behind the counter. What he told me was that it was being proposed that Active Duty would have to start paying a co-pay for prescriptions. I looked at him like he was smoking crack..no way would they do that to our guys..

 Do you know the impact of something like this could have on a active duty family? let me be the first to tell you, a E1-E5 pretty much makes beans!.  I remember how hard it was for Senior and I when he was a Second Class, that was in the 90s before kids. I can only imagine now. We lived paycheck to paycheck, and that was with me working. We .did not start seeing a change until he made E6, but it got much better when he made E7.

Therefore this is going to financially hurt a lot of military families who do not deserve being slapped in the face for their sacrifice to country. He is dismantling our military to a point of where we won't have one anymore. Absolutely criminal.

Happy New Year America!

  GUESS WHAT? BO approves a pay raise for those Washington Bafoons!  How can he? why would he? How can he look the American people in the face and give any sort of justification for it? Well, then again the vast majority of  Americans voted for it..so they own it.

Senator Portman though is urging him to rescind the executive order given the current debt crisis our country is facing.

So, with that said HAPPY  NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Ewwww.....

Thank You Lord for letting me have two cups of coffee under my belt, before I warmed up the PC and turned it on to DRUDGE... But in the name of all things holy did this have to be the  opening picture!  I feel I should now go disinfect my corneas as this picture is forever scorched on to them.....Blahhhhhhhh...ick-ity yackkkkkk.  I am thinking Nancy looks like she needs a cigerette after that kiss, I wonder what is going through her mind...
