Michael Steele - I like him but.........

I continue to support Michael Steele despite the so called spending controversies that appear in the news.  We must be suspicious of the media who would look to discredit the republican party at a time when momentum is building for the party.  They would like nothing better than to drive a wedge between the party faithful and its leadership. 

What I DO NOT like is Michael Steele using the "race card" as an excuse for the criticisms that may come his way.

Diversity of Thought

Submitted by rjaskiel on Sun, 04/04/2010 - 1:54am

Letter to BizJournals by Richard Jaskiel:

Dear Mr. Wessel:

Diversity of thought, not ethnicity, is long overdue at Oregon’s – and the nations – universities.  If additional faculty who happen to have different skin color continue to produce  unquestioning, ideologically homogenous graduates, where’s the gain?

What is Conservatism, Really?

Submitted by JeffG on Sun, 03/28/2010 - 3:02pm
by Jeff Grossman
 
The term “conservative” is thrown about with great abandon. Rarely does anyone pause to ask, what does that really mean? My answer is more than just a few labels. Conservatism is a world view – a way of understanding the world around us and a way of reacting to people and events. Specifically, it deals with nature and relationships – the nature of mankind and the manner in which people relate to one another; the nature of government and the relationship between government and its citizens.

The Birth of the TEA Party Patriot

Submitted by needham on Sun, 03/28/2010 - 2:36pm
Many grassroots organizations have been springing up lately, demanding that
government recognize the concerns emerging from taxpayers.  The "TEA" (Taxed
Enough Already) Party movement arose from public recognition that
government was no longer "of, by, and for the people", and they were
suffering an enormous burden of TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION - a
situation uncomfortably reminiscent of pre-revolutionary America.

Time to get George Taylor back

Submitted by Hapypacy on Mon, 02/22/2010 - 7:25am

I think it is time that George Taylor is reinstated as Oregon's climatologist. I was so proud of OSU for having a real scientist who was willing to question global warming. It said to me, "This is a University that really believes in science and research". But, then, equally disappointed and discouraged when they bent to the political pressures of the left and pulled him from his position. Now that the truth is beginning to surface, I think that OSU needs to reinstate him and reclaim their name as a science university, willing to follow the truth, even if it leads to unpopulist results.

Where Old WIndmills Go To Die

Submitted by tomh on Fri, 02/19/2010 - 12:17pm

Government subsidies, by defying the judgment of the market, always create perverse results, chief among them luring investment into inefficient paths, stifling innovation, and wasting resources.

In other words, the only thing subsidies enhance is poverty, because every dollar taken from the economy to be redistributed harms the poor first, and hardest.

Wind energy subsidies are a perfect example, as politicians imagine they can repeal the Laws of Physics and Climate, and make the wind blow just right, all the time.

Think solar power is any better? Read to the bottom.

Foolish people institute bad policies with disastrous results.

Letter To the Editor: Conspiracy

Submitted by ChairTom on Wed, 02/17/2010 - 12:04pm

I sent this to the Lake Oswego Review. Several times. They haven't published it yet.

To the Editor:

The American middle class, as a political and economic power, must come together, and rescue a country on the verge of possible financial collapse and total corruption.

We have given everything asked of us for the last 46 years. We are financially, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted from a 55% tax to government at all levels.

Would you rate Clackamas County government as "deplorable"?

Submitted by Hapypacy on Wed, 02/10/2010 - 7:11am

Now, I'm not a Facebook buddy, friend, or whatever they are called these days, but I just might have to get on board. Jim Needham's Facbook survey has not only gotten the attention of Clackamas County voters, but also Clackamas County government. I guess they don't like folks being given the opportunity to critique their performance. As reported in the Portland Tribune article Will the real Clackamas County Facebook page step forward?, the County may not have liked him giving a choice of "deplorable" as one of the survey options.
