Maybe. If you're talking about government green and baby poultry. A discrimination lawsuit against the USDA has already cost taxpayers - of all shapes, sizes, and colors - $1 billion. And if Obama extends the booty, it will cost $1.2 billion more.
Gateway Pundit has an excellent description of what stinks in suburbia:
Pigford v. Glickman was a class action lawsuit against the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), alleging racial discrimination in its allocation of farm loans and assistance between 1983 and 1997. The lawsuit ended with a settlement in which the U.S. government agreed to pay African American farmers $50,000 each if they had attempted to get USDA help but failed. To date, almost $1 billion has been paid or credited to the farmers under the settlement’s consent decree. Democrats want to add another $1.2 billion to the money pot and continue with the reparations.
Sherwood Films is back with another moving project that looks, per their usual, like quality. I've been a big fan since their hit "Facing the Giants" and had the opportunity to interview Alex Kendrick when that movie put a baptist church in Georgia on Hollywood's map.
Then they knocked one out of the park with "Fireproof," a movie honoring and valuing marriages. Now, they are taking on the role of fathers in "Courageous."
"What we need in our society today and in our churches are strong men who stand up for the Lord Jesus," J. Robert White, executive director, Georgia Baptist Convention.
Amen Mr. White. Amen and Amen again. This world needs Godly men.
I heard a quote from Jennifer Aniston the other day where she degraded the role of fatherhood, all in the effort to promote a movie. Yep. This is why celebrities should be interviewed and their opinions coveted. Next year, she'll do a romance movie and talk about her great desire to find a man.
Danielle Bean at The Washington Post tackled this subject, prompted by Aniston's quote. It's an excellent article of truth. Love those. Here's the link and here's the money quote:
Who needs a dad? Every child does. Even unbiased studies and statistics say so. Boys raised without fathers are twice as likely to end up in jail. Girls raised without fathers are eight times more likely to wind up pregnant as teens. The childhood rates of depression, suicide, drug use, and sexually promiscuity all rise when a father is not present in the home.
What the scientific data can't quantify, though, is the pain of loss a child experiences when he is denied the right to two parents. All of the nice talk about "love is love" won't make that gaping hole go away. In fact, pretending the loss is not real is the cruelest thing you can do to a child who is growing up fatherless.
I cannot, in any suitable words, explain the importance my father has had in my life. Monumental doesn't cover it. Imperative doesn't cover it. Paramount. does. not. cover. it.
Andrew Klavan and his bald head, one of my favorite bald heads in the business, are back and taking on the culture.
He gives those groovy kids out there a lesson on the Constitution while trying not to harsh their mellow, or some such thing. I didn't really get it. So I took another drag and watched the video.
Crinkley white people - a new description for our founding fathers, as well as this year's hot Christmas toy.
That's not really the important point of this video. But I'm just curious. Clint Howard in a Heritage video about government spending, MIA congressmen, and the health care takeover? Is he conservative?
Life is so peculiar. As are the characters Clint usually plays.
Check out the video. He does an excellent spineless Congressman.
Barack Obama, Sr. was born in 1936, making him 9-years old and at the war’s end. And before you say that he must have been referring to his step father, be aware that Lolo Soetero was born in 1935, which means he was only ten when Japan surrendered.
I'm not sure what "services" Obama's child-warrior-father received when finally returning home from the war as he walked through the door carrying his Maltese Falcon lunch box and Colt revolver. Perhaps the government sat down and made him a pb & j.
Call him a flash in the pan. President Obama's ridiculously unfounded popularity, based on the fact the man could read from a teleprompter, hasn't lasted long even in Martha's Vineyard. There's something about actions and words and one louder than the other that fits here.
Obama and family, going for their PhD in vacationing, are heading to Martha's Vineyard for their fourth or fifth vacation in as many weeks. Last year, while Obama unwound from his exhausting speeches, golf games and appearances on Letterman, the family vacationed in Martha's Vineyard while, in equal parts fanaticism and disillusionment, people couldn't get enough of Obama gear.
This year? Bush's "Miss Me Yet?" t-shirts are the hot seller on Martha's Vineyard. Check out the video here.
If the coming fall fashions weren't bad enough news, Bush is polling six-points higher than Obama in "Frontline" districts. And last time I checked, Bush wasn't running.
A prominent Democratic pollster is circulating a survey that shows George W. Bush is 6 points more popular than President Obama in “Frontline” districts — seats held by Democrats that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sees as most vulnerable to Republican takeover. That Bush is more popular than Obama in Democratic-held seats is cause for outright fear.
What would Scooby-Do say to a Democrat at a time like this? Something like, "Rut Roh."
