ROCK RIVER PATRIOTS

This article shows the utter lunacy of the anti-BIG OIL crowd.  As the article states, hybrid vehicles use these rare metals in the construction of their electrical motor / charging system.  Now there is already a shortage of these rare metals.  What will be the environmental impact of the search for these rare metals? Could it be strip mines? How insane it is that we are pursuing a technology that is already showing shortages of raw materials, when we have TONS of oil, coal, and natural gas reserves that can be tapped with very little environmental impact. Hybrid Cars Gobble Up Rare Metals

Every day we see more of this “Change” the Obama administration is talking about.  I have been convinced for a long time this was never intended to be a change for the better, but a change to a totalitarian regime. This administration is spending like a drunken sailor (no offense to Navy personnel) and continues to print money like crazy.  If this continues, the net result will be a dollar that is worthless.  With a totally worthless currency, there will be a push for a new more “stable” currency.  The idea has already been floated about a new world currency.  Who will hand out this new currency? The government of course.  They can choose who gets what and how much. Then we have the attempts to control the health care system.  If they have their way, eventually they will control the care people receive.  As many have written, there will be two systems, a great one for the ruling elite and something miserable for the rest of us.  If you are a political opponent, I think you’d better stay away from the doctor’s office.  Who knows what will happen to you if you go.  And if there is malpractice?  Good…

This is in response to the Daily Union story regarding the grass-roots effort to vote “YES” on the county referendum to increase property taxes 16.56 percent to “save” Countryside Nursing home.  The county is already increasing property taxes over 8.5% even without passing the referendum.  I don’t think many people in Jefferson County have seen a wage increase of over 8.5% let alone 16.56%. Let me start with the premise that Countryside will “leave” if county residents vote “NO”.  This is nothing more than real FEAR perpetuated by the very same people who claim that people should not cast a vote of “NO” out of fear.  While Jefferson County may not run the nursing facility anymore, this does not prevent them from selling it to a company that will continue to operate it as a nursing facility. Then, there is the argument that the quality of care will be reduced.  Again this is more of the same i.e. FEAR.  Nursing facilities have to follow state and federal regulations.  If there are violations, they can and should be cited. The truth is that this is NOT a mandated service, nor is it a role of government.  Half of the counties in…
