The walkout committed weeks ago by Indiana's own Nancy Pelosi, State Representative Pat Bauer, and his Democrat colleagues in protest of the Right-to-Work bill on the legislative agenda, proved a success in that the legislation was removed from the agenda (the reason why I will never support Governor Mitch Daniels should he decide to run for President).
It turns out, however, there may have been some illegal activity at work here in this walkout. VotingFemale, a contributor at Texas for Sarah Palin, ran this post on her own website almost a week ago, and it is very much worth the read. It is quite interesting to say the least. What's more interesting is the fact the law which plays in this whole episode was a law sponsored by none other than Pat Bauer himself. Talk about nerve!
I don't know what will happen now (hopefully Bauer and his ilk are fried for it!), but this serves as a reminder of just who Pat Bauer, his cronies and their masters truly are.

On this day...
What Sarah Palin has written for today describes my sentiments exactly:
For myself, I wish you all a blessed Easter and I hope you all have a great day today. Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Hallelujah!Happy Easter
Easter is the celebration of what hope really means. In Jesus’ triumph over death through His Resurrection, we believe that death was defeated and hope became the expectation of eternal life with God.
Hope is the great driving force in many of our lives, and it has been the driving force in our country’s history. America has always had a strong sense that God’s providence is abundant, that no challenge can ever be too great and no enemy too strong. It was this hope that inspired us to carve a nation out of the wilderness, to appreciate opportunities to responsibly utilize nature’s resources, to engineer skyscrapers towering over our gleaming cities, and to fly to the moon.
As a country and as individuals, we can always have true hope to guide us. Our best days remain ahead of us. And working together we will leave this country to our children a better place than we received it from our parents.
On this blessed day let’s remember our Lord’s sacrifice that led to the Resurrection; and from the whole Palin family, have a wonderful Easter!

Good Friday
Out here in this part of the world, it's been raining for much of the day amidst dreary skies. For a day like today, Good Friday, such weather is most appropriate.
For those of us who are of the Christian faith, we remember this day as the anniversary of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. I can certainly look on this day with joy and happiness for we know we have been forgiven of our sins through the sacrifice Christ made on the cross and His subsequent Resurrection, but on this day it is so difficult to think of joy or happiness.
No other day of the year provides a greater reminder, no other day brings home the message to me in such a painful manner as the fact that it was my crimes which caused His sacrifice to take place, that I, a miserable sinner, am responsible for the nails which went through each of His hands and both of His feet, for the unspeakable scourging He received and the crown of thorns forced upon His head, for the passion and death He had to endure.
The guilt I feel seems too great on this day to be able to feel the comfort of knowing I have been saved. Makes me yearn all the more for Sunday to come, when we celebrate the Resurrection. To conclude, I do get a feeling of consolation when I think about John 3:16:

The Coming Shutdown
The situation is quite simple: if a deal on a budget isn't reached between Republicans and Democrats in Congress by midnight, there will be a government shutdown. Democrats are trying to portray Republicans as not willing to compromise, and they are in particular demonizing Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin for his Path To Prosperity plan.
Here's an interesting question to the Democrats: Where's your budget plan? I know it's a question asked by just about everybody, and yet there's no answer from Harry Reid and his buddies. With all the spending done by the Obama administration since it began, it's galling to find the Democrats battling to cut as little spending as possible.
The Republican leadership for the most part hasn't been pursuing the kind of cuts I'd like to see (like what Senator Rand Paul, God bless him, has offered), but compared to the Democrats, what they offer to cut in the budget and in government spending is significantly more. What do the Democrats offer? The Democrats want compromise, but they expect the compromising to come from the Republicans.
As for Paul Ryan's budget plan, I've gone through it and it's a pretty good first step in trying to undo the economically threatening actions of the Democrats and reverse the years of increased government spending, but of course, the Democrats do nothing but claim with this plan, senior citizens will lose their Social Security and Medicare coverage. Too bad the Democrats haven't bothered to come up with an alternative plan while launching hyperbolic attacks against their opponents in Congress.
Bottom line, the Republicans are the ones trying to do their job (acting like adults), the Democrats are the ones behaving like brats, while trying to spin the possibility of a shutdown as a nightmare brought upon the American people by the Republicans. John Boehner and the Republicans need to stand firm against the Democrats, and they need to back Paul Ryan and his budget plan.

Now Isn't That Interesting, Chapter 40
So after two and a half years of his idea of “hope” and “change”, Barack Obama has decided he will run for re-election in 2012:
Isn't that interesting. So nearly two and a half years of such government spending that makes what was spent under George W. Bush's watch look like a matter of overspending by pennies, increased government oversight unaccountable to our elected representatives, the attempted oppression of the free markets through ObamaCare and Cap-and-Trade, half-hearted actions while serving as Commander-in-Chief, the constant apologizing for our nation and the blatant disregard for the Constitution (among other things) warrant Barack Obama serving another four years in the White House? I find this Obama ad to be more truthful:
I've been waiting since January 20th, 2009 for real hope and real change to come. Can those of us who are of the conservative and libertarian persuasions achieve that change? Yes, we can. Yes, we can.

Hey Chicago, whaddya say?

Go Cubs Go!
Go Cubs Go!

April Fools Day 2011
What an April Fools Day this has been. I unleashed a joke aimed at Palin-haters and other leftists, and I'm not sure if it was a success. I see a blog post claiming Dick Lugar will drop out of the Senate race and become President of the Boy Scouts (what a way to get a guy's hopes up!).
And to top it all off, Opening Day for the Cubs was today. They had a nice ceremony, which included a moment of silence for the late Ron Santo and the people of Japan, and Robert Redford throwing the 1st pitch of the game. The game started well for the Cubs, leading 2-0 against the Pirates after three innings.
At church, we have a softball team and this year will be my fourth year with the team, and most of the losses we have had can be attributed to one reason: one bad inning. For the Cubs, it came in the top of the 5th, with the Pirates getting a grand slam and taking the lead, 4-2. Two innings later, the Pirates extended their lead thanks to a 2-run homer, and the Cubs only scored once later in the inning before the game ended in a 6-3 victory for the Pirates.
Well, it's not the first time the Cubs have started the season with a defeat, and it's never good when the Cubs lose at Wrigley Field, but it's only the beginning of the season; there's 161 games to go, and anything can happen. Go Cubs Go!
I hope you all have been enjoying the day.
