American Republic Enduring

An interesting quote I read yesterday:

"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money." (Alexis de Tocqueville - French writer & historian)

In Celebration Of Family: First-Time Grandparents!!!


With Great Joy 
my wife Karen and I join our son, Matt, and his wonderful wife, Heather, 
in celebrating the impending birth of their first child!!!


In about two weeks we'll be grandparents for the first time. What a joyful, fun time for our entire family.

My 'kids', including daughter-in-law Heather bless us in so many ways; our cup overflows! We couldn't be happier for Matt and Heather at this sweet time in their lives.

You now become that unique and precious thing, a family. We pray God's Blessings on it always.

Much love, Dad and Mom   XO! XO! xo! XO! XO! xo!

And It Was Republican Policies, Not Democrat, That Created Most Of Those Jobs

It's interesting to hear President Obama and other Democrat leadership take credit for the jobs growth during this 'recovery', anemic as it is. The facts say otherwise.

The jobs improvement in the US occurred almost totally in Republican-led states and has been the result of Republican policies. The states (and cities) with the worst jobs results are nearly all Democrat-led.

Republican governors and/or legislatures have implemented policies that are business-friendly. That's why businesses have been moving to their states in droves. They've also taken action to reduce their states' taxes, debt and spending. Republican states have tended to be fiscally and economically stable during this recovery. Democrat-led states have tended to be the ones in the most trouble economically and fiscally.

President Obama's and Democrat leadership's claims that their policies have led to what anemic improvement we've had in the unemployment numbers is factual nonsense. If anything, their policies have slowed the recovery.
