  2. I think having money in the federal budget for volunteerism is ridiculous in and of itself. It's another example of pushing this agenda of “the government has to do everything.”

    They did take the “mandatory service” language out of the bill, but that doesn't mean it won't get added later.

    The Read My Lipstick Network blog has been covering this quite extensively – http://readmylipsticknetwork.blogspot.com/

  5. You're welcome… the open thread thing isn't an original idea. I initially started it when I was too lazy to post something, but wanted to still have some new content on my blog :). Today has been good a lot of comments.

    I've had these when only one person commented. Kind of defeats the purpose.

  6. Hi Shane,

    I just wanted to tell you I really liked the three posts about Christianity. Very thought provoking.

    Also, I have my Holland / Denmark issues sorted out. No more poetic license for me!

    Have a great weekend!

    Home School Conference and Sale
    April 18, 2009
    West Des Moines, IA

    We have Doorposts and God's Eternal Masterpiece at our admission-free home school sale.

    At our conference, we have speakers for veteran and new homeschoolers.

  12. Shane, on today's (March 27th) Glenn Beck show, MN Congresswoman Michelle Bachman talked to Glenn Beck about a bill she has authored banning the United States from capitulating to a world currency. I hope that this story gets exposure on the conservative. blogs. Apparently Treasury Secretary Tim Gueithner, dosn't seem to be against the idea.

  14. Thanks for the invite. This is an interesting idea. Things are so crazy with the new president who says one thing after he just did the opposite….like lecturing about fiscal responsibility after signing the stimulus bill that no one fully read. Then the worst possible people for cabinet positions. Anyone worry about Hilary making deals with China and company? Beyond crazy, yet they still praise him and listen and replay clips as if he means what he says. It would make the brain itch if it weren't so overwhelming where it all could lead. I'm just trying to figure out what we can do in light of all possible outcomes.

    I met with someone from team sarah who said that until we can stop the voter fraud from ACORN, which now has so much more money due to the stimulus bill, all our efforts to mobilize could be pointless. So, any ideas about how to stop the voter fraud?

  15. You know Hillary Clinton was one of his appointments I was less concerned about because she seemed competent, her and Gates.

    Regarding fraud… it will have to happen at the state level because I don't see the Federal government doing anything about it now. Chicago politics has come to the White House.
