Democrats condemned to repeat history (1/9/10, page AA1)

Lisa Vorderbrueggen, CCTimes
Although this isn’t the headline, Congressmen George Miller and John Garamendi insist that we impose trade restrictions with foreign countries in the mist of a recession. Much like FDR and his idiotic co-horts did during the depression of the 1930s thereby delaying the recovery and making Americans suffer for the benefit of union hacks. [...]

Obama gives power to Interpol to violate American privacy (1/2/10, not in CCTimes)

Recently President Government signed Executive Order 12425 which granted Interpol, the international police agency dominated by Euros, freedeom from American law regarding privacy and property. This means that if our own FBI were to find some illegal behavior by Interpol, they would not be able to access records and property owned by Interpol.  Meaning Interpol [...]

Health care reform big leap forward for America (12/29/09, page C2)

Steve Butler, Retirement Planner/Big Government Supporter
Time and again we’re baffled by how such a successful businessman could be so clueless about politics.
Mr. Butler jumps on the bandwagon regarding Obamacare and how the math adds up to savings for all of us and insurance for those of us uninsured.

Natasha T. Metzler, AP
Historians are such a joke.
FDR #3? He who dragged on a depression for 10 years with his oppresive tax policies and protectionist policies? The same man who started the king of all Ponzi schemes, Social Security? Who let half of Europe fall into Communist hands?
Kennedy in two years accomplished enough to be [...]

Bullying incident leaves boy, 7, with fractured skull (4/25/08, page A5)

Kristin Bender, CCTimes
Perhaps this wasn’t the story to ask this, but would the victim, Zachary Cataldo, have had to put up with this abuse 3 TIMES if the teachers’ unions weren’t opposed to school choice?
It’s time to give parents a choice in where they send their children to school. Now this poor boy has a [...]

State senate leader not harmed in Oakland carjacking (12/30/07, page A3)

Kamika Dunlap & Steve Geissinger, CCTimes
The state is running a $14 billion deficit and the Senate leader has 22″ rims on his taxpayer funded car?
PS: We’re glad Senator Peralta is ok, but he and his cronies need less expensive cars.
