Blue Grass Red State

There has been a lot made of President Obama’s first 100 days as today marks that day. But the presidency is 1460 days and the first 100 just mark the course.  That course has been very clearly defined by  the President and as a Conservative I am very glad.  This President has made it more [...]

Today the announcement was made of the first fatality of an American of the swine flu. With 50 infected people in the US it was just a matter of time. But what was interesting to me was first, this was not an American, and second he came here for our health care! The 2 year [...]

I thought of terrorists as those people who believe in their ideology so strongly that they [...]

It has been almost amusing to watch the main stream media report on the national Tax Day Tea Parties.  I heard early reports that said that about 189,000 had participated. I knew this number to be grossly under-reported.  In our small city of about 60,000 (Bowling Green) we saw over 700, some estimating over 1,000.  [...]
