How do you write a political letter to family and friends?

2012-01-11T19:30:00.000-08:00

With the permission of my friend Clint Nye, I am posting his letter. Clint writes a great letter about the importance of getting involved in the political process. Many times I've told my friends politics can be ugly and it surely isn't Sunday school, but it is just important because those politicians have the ability to impact our lives with the decisions they make. That is the main reason

End the Mortgage-Interest Deduction? Are you crazy?

2011-11-14T10:09:00.000-08:00

In an article at Bloomberg.com on November 13, 2011 the editors came up with some ideas of their own to help the Super Committee get around the roadblock between Republicans and Democrats. The Republicans are still fighting against any new tax hikes while the Democrats want many new tax increases. And for the record, I will never call a Tax Increase “New Revenue” or any other seemingly nice word

Results of the Bountiful City Council elections

2011-11-08T22:40:00.000-08:00

Another election over and the results are simply, NAME, FAME & SAME. Hollbrook has the old Bountiful name that is known for generations. There is Holbrook Elementary School, Holbrook park to name a couple. Higginson served four years ago on the City Council and encountered a surprising loss for re-election but came back four years later with a sensible and conservative track record. And

Don't hide behind your incumbency BETH HOLBROOK and your liberal leanings including Supporting OBAMA for President.

2011-11-05T12:31:00.000-07:00

On my previous post I asked ALL of the candidates for Bountiful City Council to respond to 10 questions. Everyone responded except Beth Holbrook. I contacted her several times and never received a response. One afternoon I received a phone call from a secretary at the city who told me that ALL of Beth Holbrook’s email was forwarded to the secretary instead of Beth. I find it very

Candidates for Bountiful City Council in their own words

2011-10-31T21:42:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday night the United Women's Forum hosted a "Meet the Candidates" night for the six people running for the three Bountiful City Council seats. As usual, the event only brought in about 50 people not including the candidates. Although these events rarely attract many voters it is a great opportunity to see who your choices are, and I believe that many who plan to vote would probably

When does a City go too far?

Don't plan on selling your home after 2012

Remember during the debate about Obamacare when we were all shocked at the 2,000 plus page bill that none of the legislators ever read? And remember some of the stupid comments from some of the Senators who actually said the bill was too big to read before voting on? Or how about when Nancy Pelosi told us that it is best to get it passed now and then work out the details later? Well, I think it

2011-05-05T16:19:00.000-07:00

The Obama administration refuses to acknowledge that it was due to the Bush administration policy on interrogating terrorists that information was received to stop several more US bombing attempts over the last decade and the information that eventually led to the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden! Yet, the Obama administration continues to investigate CIA interrogators whose interrogation

Osama bin Laden killed by US President Commando Obama!

2011-05-02T11:44:00.000-07:00

President Obama went on television last night and spent about 9 minutes taking personal credit for the death of Osama bin Laden. During what looked like an obvious self-promoting re-election stump speech in the White House he used his two favorite words “I” and “Me” numerous times when describing how “HE” found and killed Osama Bin Laden. It was as if he himself found the whereabouts of the

Inventor of the Teleprompter dies--Obama Left Speechless!

2011-04-28T10:15:00.000-07:00

The inventor of the TelePrompTer Hubert J. Schlafly Jr., died on April 20th in Connecticut. We attribute this man’s invention as the savior for President Obama who cannot talk without the use of this device. In fact, anytime Obama speaks without a TeleprompTer he struggles for the right word or phrase to use. Most of his words are divided by a slew of “uhhhh’s” and his famous statement; “Let me

Can Obama be re-elected in 2012?

2011-04-25T20:27:00.000-07:00

A recent poll in the New York Times states: “Nation’s Mood at Lowest Level in Two Years.” The poll suggested that things are not getting better for President Obama—they are getting much worse! 70% of American’s believe that the country is on the wrong track. Is this a surprise to anyone? We have record unemployment hovering around 9%--that is what the government tells you but the real numbers are

According to President Hugo Chavez Capitalism is to blame for the death of the people of Mars!

2011-03-24T16:47:00.000-07:00

I recently read an article in Reuters about our socialist neighbor from the South President Hugo Chavez who thinks that there was life on Mars but Capitalism must have killed them off! Not only is this an incredibly laughable comment to make but it shows how much this ding bat loves attention. He takes every opportunity to be interviewed by the media or to speak at any function that will have him

If the US Dollar is replaced as THE WORLDS CURRENCY RESERVE the only thing to save the US from complete disaster is DRILL BABY DRILL!

2011-01-06T19:04:00.000-08:00

I think this is the most IMPORTANT and unnerving post I have ever written. I wish everything in it was wrong. But I would rather deal with reality than make-believe and I think that my readers feel the same way. THIS IS A MUST READ! When the world banking system collapsed in 2008 the bad debts were absorbed by the world’s governments, at least those governments big enough to pay the cost, i.e.

The King and Queen of America livin' it up on the US tax payer

2010-12-31T17:52:00.000-08:00

I wanted to end the year with a year-end- review but it seems that everyone does that anyway, so if you want to re-hash the good the bad and the ugly for the US in 2010 you’ll have to look elsewhere. So instead, I thought I would focus on the most recent political news and like so many other news worthy items this one comes from President Obama and his wife Michele, the King and Queen of America

Death Panels are back and Sarah Palin was right!

2010-12-28T09:42:00.000-08:00

Remember when president Obama was making all of those back room deals with legislators by promising them special favors such as state exemptions and piles of payoff cash for their districts and states if they would support his Obama-Care Health Care Plan? Before I go further let me correct something…it was NOT HIS plan! He did not propose the legislation it was his ultra leftist and communist

Guttenberg gave us the first printed Bible and now asks for a Ronald Reagan memorial in Berlin

2010-12-27T12:07:00.000-08:00

In 1439 a great innovator from Germany named Johannes Gutenberg gave the world the first printed Bible with his revolutionary printing press. Now in 2010 another great innovator Karl-Theodor Gutenberg, conservative German politician and German defense minister is on a campaign to have Berlin honor the late US president Ronald Regan by naming a street or square after him by what would have been

Surprise! Brian David Mitchell found Guilty of the Kidnapping and Rape of Elizabeth Smart

2010-12-10T12:17:00.000-08:00

Am I the only person in Utah who isn't surprised that this monster Brian David Mitchell was found guilty of the kidnapping and repeated rape of Elizabeth Smart? Of course I understand and appreciate the concept that in the US legal system you are innocent until proven guilty, but this trial has never really been about whether or not he kidnapped Elizabeth Smart, instead, it has been about

Republicans for Granato are Really Democrats!

2010-10-23T21:23:00.000-07:00

Don't you love it when a candidate is so desperate that he pretends that he has lots of supporters from the other side? Let's be real, in the current political environment of Liberal Democrats being exposed as Socialists, Marxists or Progressives due to the major blunders of their Commander-In-Thief, Barack Hussan Obama, if a "Republican" is a supporter of a democrat he or she is really a

Obama THE TAX MAN! Just wait until the LIBERALS let the Bush tax cuts expire!

2010-08-07T19:57:00.000-07:00

For those of you who missed Obama's address to a joint session of Congress, I thought that I would show you the part so many never saw. Obama and the liberal democrats in Washington are about to let the Bush tax cuts expire and we ALL will be paying more taxes as our economy slides further into the SECOND or DOUBLE DIP RECESSION. But don't be surprised because Obama admits that he is the TAX

Becky Edwards was re-elected for a second term as a member of the Utah State House of Representatives in District 20.

2010-06-23T07:44:00.000-07:00

Becky successfully overcame her challenger DJ Schanz with a final figure of 43 to 57. The thing I hate about primaries is that the best two candidates are pitted against each other and when that happens a little mud begins to be slung back and forth blemishing both candidates. The other thing I hate is being forced to choose between two good people and in this case both are personal friends.

“Representation for Real” or “Republican for Real," you decide.

2010-06-15T17:36:00.000-07:00

Those who know me know that both Becky Edwards and DJ Schanz are friends of mine. I believe that they are both good people and each would do their best to represent our district according to the dictates of his or her conscience. The question is not which “friend” I should support. The question is which person do I believe truly represents my values, beliefs and views as well as those of my

Obama should be looking for a way to plug the hole instead of an "Ass to kick"!

We are now into the second month since the April 20th, 2010 oil disaster at sea that took the lives of 11 BP oil rig workers in the Louisiana Gulf as well as sank the rig and created what has now become the worst oil disaster in history. This disaster has been acerbated due to a series of government blunders that initially kept BP, the State of Louisiana and other private companies from

Looking at two of the Nation’s biggest disasters, The BP Oil spill in the Gulf and President Barack Obama!

2010-06-03T16:07:00.000-07:00

The oil spill in the Gulf is now being called the worst oil spill in US history. BP, President Obama and Bobbie Jindal, the Governor of Louisiana struggle to find a way to cap the broken drill pipe which is releasing about 800,000 gallons of oil each day off the coast of Louisiana. Oil has started to run ashore in Louisiana, Alabama and soon Florida. This unthinkable mess that killed 11 oil rig

It’s time to say “good bye” to those LEFT LEANING Republicans!

2010-05-24T15:35:00.000-07:00

I realize that there are many degrees of Republicans in the Utah Republican party, but those who have leaned so far to the left that they have actually climbed on board of the Democrat express need to turn in their “R’s” for “D’s.” Two prominent Utah Republican women have recently stepped into the political spotlight by embracing the Democrat party while still claiming to be Republican. One is
