Republicans Show Their True Colors
Guest Commentary by Rhonda Deniston Listen, I am a registered Republican. I have always voted party line, but since the conception of the Tea Party I have voted for principles over parties. So, this is what has happened. Barack Hussein Obama won the Presidency and quickly demonstrated that he was nothing more than another broken promise. In a way, President …
Prop. 23 Opponents Spread ‘Repeal’ Falsehood
If enacted, Proposition 23 will suspend California’s global warming law until unemployment falls below 5.5 percent for four consecutive quarters. When that takes place, Prop. 23 goes back into effect. Backers say their intent is to ensure that California’s horrendous economy, with an unemployment rate above 12 percent and possibly double that in reality, isn’t further crippled. That’s straightforward enough, …

Noonan Hits It On the Head Re: Tea Party
SEPTEMBER 17, 2010 Why It’s Time for the Tea Party The populist movement is more a critique of the GOP than a wing of it.

Be Careful, My Fellow Conservatives. We’re Not Out Of This Yet.
Conservatives are in near euphoria as November approaches. All reliable polls suggest that Republicans will take back the House. Some indicators even see the Senate changing hands. Assuming Obama doesn’t create some crisis and find a way to blame Conservatives, I am planning a celebration on election night. But only a brief one. Then, we must get ready for 2012. …

SD Chief Operating Officer’s Memo Claims That City Has Made “Significant Reductions”
I’m truly puzzled how one can come to this conclusion. Below are financial figures for the city by several departments over the course of 2003 to 2009. A few occasional departments show a sporadic reductions, but one doesn’t have to be financial wizard to recognize that they general trend is clearly increased spending year over year. Such inaccurate language from someone so high up in the private sector would end their career.
