Here I thought Governor Bobby Jindal was a TRUE fiscal conservative and would NEVER waste taxpayers' money on something like helicopter jaunts to churches around the state. I guess I was wrong! Apparently Jindal spent over $45,000...

jonakyl First off, all you fellow conservatives who immediately point out all the money that Obama is spending should be ashamed of yourselves. You are now being just as hypocritical as the liberals that support Obama by stating that Bush did the same thing Obama is...

jonakyl I wonder how many of those 700 people were actually considering going to Scotland and are now changing their travel plans vs. those who had no intention of going to Scotland any time in the near future and are just trying to be political. I'm willing to bet...

jonakyl Everyone seems to be talking about the death panels, I want to say something about being able to keep your own health insurance. The wording I've been able to find is that you can keep your own health insurance if is a 'qualified' plan. Now it doesn't say...

jonakyl I don't have kids. But if I did, I wouldn't have a problem with the President (or any political leader) talking to schoolchildren and expounding the benefits of an education. Encouraging children to study hard, get good grades, and succeed is not a bad thing....

Once again Obama confirms his alliance/allegiance with Islam. The money that this affair will cost could IMO be better spent on feeding out of work AMERICANS rather than sucking/fawning up to Muslim!. Your...

jonakyl Heather, put aside your hatred for just a moment. First you are right that there will never be a Christian celebration hosted by a Muslim leader. For that very reason I'm thankful I live in a country that guarantees a person's freedom to religion. Second, it's...

A comment I made in another discussion made me think a little, a fancifull thing really, nothing that could of course execute in the real world and life, so it was more of a metaphorical thought. The comment I made ended with...

jonakyl It isn't the little 'r' or 'd' next to your name that makes it happen, it's all the 'benefits' that start flowing in from the lobbyists that makes it happen.

jonakyl I really hate defending Obama, but will there be this must outrage when there is likely a Christmas dinner being held as well? Plus the money spent to put up a big Christmas tree, decorate, and power all the lights on it?

Republicans in Congress have been very critical of any plan proposed by the Democrats. Strangely, as the health systems went down the tubes for many Americans, the Republicans were mostly silent on the issue when President Bush...

jonakyl I have already made several suggestions that we could take. I for one don't want government involved in health care, I also don't believe a big huge health care overhaul will work unless there is a LOT of investigation and discussion on what all the issues...

jonakyl It shouldn't be acceptable. This is another case of 'if it was okay for the last party to do it, it must be okay for me to do it.' Both parties are guilty of this, and we really need to get both parties to stop it. I fully support free speech. But just like...

jonakyl I agree that many people were tired of the wars, but I disagree that people thought "billions per month was too much!" We are spending even more, and are likely to continue to see even larger amounts being spent.
