Taking a Break

Sorry for the unannounced hiatus. The bad news is that it will continue. I'm burned out on politics and I need to work on other projects.

I'll be working on my coin collectors' site and developing a foodie site. I'll also be concentrating on my personal blog.

Sorry if you've submitted a link for my conservative link list but I'm not taking any more submissions until I clean out the link rot. I'm getting a lot of spam in my submission form so I'll be taking it down until further notice. You can contact me via email, I'm - bruce(at)brucekelly(dot)com.

If you're looking for conservative blogs to read check out my conservative blogs page or my top conservative blogs aggregator.

Have a happy and prosperous New Year.

Steve Wynn on Fox News Sunday

I don't own a TV so I listen to Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace online. If it's a really good show, I'll watch later on Fox News Sunday's Hulu channel. This was a really good show.

Steve Wynn, the CEO of Wynn Resorts, was on discussing jobs with Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm...

Wynn: Government has never increased the standard of living of one single human being in civilization's history. For some reason that simple truth has evaded everybody. The only thing that creates an increased standard of living is giving someone a job, the demand for their labor -- whether it's you and I, Chris, or anybody else. The people that are paying the price for this juggernaut of federal spending are the middle class and the working class of America.

…soaring rhetoric and great speeches with or without a teleprompter aren't going to change the truth, and the truth is the biggest enemy, the biggest obstacle that working middle-class America has is government spending.

Granholm: It's just so simplistic to say that! With all due respect, I mean, to say that government has never created a job or increased the standard of living. You know, I mean there -- there are a lot of people who are grateful that in this country we have a minimum wage. There are a lot of people who are grateful that they have access to Medicare and Medicaid. And I hope that we get access further to additional health care for those who are uninsured. I mean, there is a balance here. To say that government is all evil... This is a democracy. It's the greatest country in the world.

Wynn: I didn't say that at all. I'm saying that the source of government revenue, the source of well-being in this country is employment. That allows companies to pay taxes, employees to pay taxes. That's the source here and it's gotten out of focus.

Granholm: I agree with you.

Wynn: Okay. That's my point, Governor. I'm not making any other point. And, believe me, ma'am, I've got 20,000 employees. I've had as many as 150,000 families that I've been self-insuring. There's nothing "simplistic" about my approach to this problem.

Wow, he really handed it to her -- nothing against governor Granholm; if any other statist had been in that chair the results would have been the same.

Steve Wynn is my new hero and, I think, radio listeners everywhere will agree that he has a great voice. If you missed it, catch it. If you saw it, it's worth seeing again.

RNC GOP.com New Website

The Republican National Committee's new website, GOP.com, is ugly, red, it bogs down my computer and it's red. I won't be going there again any time soon (not that I went there much before).

Did I mention it's red? ... it's red, really really red, like red-red.

The Boy Scouts are a Dangerous Gang

Thank God officials are on the ball and getting these dangerous hoodlums the hell out of our schools.

First this...

6-Year-Old Suspended for Bringing Knife-Fork-Spoon to School.
Zachary Christie was so excited to become a Cub Scout that he brought his camping utensil to school, a folding spoon, fork and knife. Zachary wanted to use it to eat his lunch.

And, one day later , this...

Eagle Scout Suspended for Keeping a Pocketknife in his Car.
Matthew Whalen follows the Boy Scout motto, he's always prepared. He keeps a sleeping bag, water, a ready-to-eat meal, and a 2-inch pocketknife locked in the trunk of his car. The knife was given to him by his grandfather, a police chief in a nearby town.

Obama's Doctored Photo-op

As long as I'm dredging up old news, I can't help but take a jab at this one. I heard the story when it came out last week but it wasn't until I saw the photos this weekend that I realized just how truly ridiculous the whole thing was.

I can just hear the old folks back home...

Sonny: Hey Maw, come see! The President is given' ah speech on the Tee-Vee about how good Obamacare is, and he's got doctors with him! They got on their doctor coats and everything.

Maw: Well I'll be doggone, them doctors do got on their doctor coats, they must be real doctors.

Sonny: That's right Maw. And them doctors think Obamacare is real good too, just like I told-ja.

Maw: Well I'll be doggone, it must be true then, if them doctors in their doctor coats think Obama care is good too.

Sonny: That's right Maw, they must be real doctors if'n they got on them doctor coats.

Maw: Well I'll be doggone... I wonder why I got all this mail from the Hemlock Society today?

Sonny: I signed you up with them Maw, they'rah senior citizen organization, you know, like the Aye Aye Are-ah Pee.

Give me a break. How stupid does the 'Ego in Chief' think we are? It would be insulting... if it weren't so damned laughable.

LaRouche is a Left Wing Nut Job

Everyone should know by now that Lyndon LaRouche, the man behind the 'Obama as Hitler' posters, is a left wing nut job; not a right wing nut job. Many consider him a communist. It seems that some of you in the Obamedia and nutroots blogosphere are still confused.

According to Wikipedia, every lefty's favorite encyclopedia, he's run for President of the United States eight times since 1976, once as a U.S. Labor Party candidate and seven times as a candidate for the Democratic Party nomination. He declared his support for John Kerry, pledged to mobilize his organization to help defeat George W. Bush, and he supported Hillary Clinton in 2008.

So get it straight CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and all the rest of you left wing lapdog sycophants.

Actually, Mr. LaRouche appears to be a Liberal Fascist, which means, that's right, Lyndon LaRouche is a Nazi... another kumbaya moment. You're Welcome.
