10. America Moving to the Right

Despite what the 2008 election results may have indicated, a new Gallup poll shows that Americans are becoming more conservative in their beliefs.

9. Obama’s Russsian Gaffe

On his first trip to Russia as President, Barry took the audience down memory lane and reminded the Russians of the great deal they gave us on Alaska.

“Along the way, you gave us a pretty good deal on Alaska. Thank you.”

Had his speechwriters done any research, they would have known that most Russians consider this a monstrous blunder by their country. You see, Russia sold Alaska to the U.S. for less than two cents per acre only to find out later that the massive chunk of land was laden with oil.

8. SEIU Fights Card Check

Remember how the unions were saying card check would give American workers more freedom to choose? Well, it seems that’s only the case when those workers aren’t voting to join a competing union. While trying to prevent its union members from joining a rival union, the SEIU is using the exact same tactics it accuses employers of using to stop unionization. Hahahaha…It’s funny when hypocrites feel the blade of their own knife.

7. Ford Beats Government Motors

Ford Motor Company, the only one of the American auto makers to not take a government bailout, outsold GM in June both in the U.S. and Canada. The year-over-year industry average was a decline of 27% with both GM and Chrysler garnering over a 30% decline from last year. Ford’s sales were only off 11% from last year. This doesn’t surprise me. I’ve heard several people lately say that they will no longer purchase GM or Chrysler products, opting for Ford instead. After all, these companies have totally screwed thousands of bondholders, dealers and employees across the country, all under the leadership of Chairman Obama.

6. Schumer Says Screw Bipartisanship

In his own words: “If you did a consensus within the Democratic Party, you would find the level-playing-field public option to be the answer…and now that we have 60 votes, it seems to me like we don’t have to turn it inside out for something we don’t like.” This is the same ninnyhammer who said Americans don’t care about porky spending.

10. Pelosi Set to Ram Health Care Through

Last week I posted about Harry Reid refusing to give Senators and the public a full week to review the health care bill before voting on it. Now, Madame Speaker has said the same thing. Okay America, it’s time to bend over.

9. Another Duke Rape Case

You probably remember all the hubub in the press a few years ago when three white members of the Duke lacrosse team was accused of rape by a black student who was also a stripper. The press was on it like flies on honey. However, there is a new Duke rape case you won’t hear about in the media. This time, a prominent gay researcher is accused of raping his five year old son as well as offering him up on the internet for others to abuse. The media doesn’t seem to care about this one though. Why? Because it doesn’t fit their agenda of liberal lunacy. Whites raping blacks…AN OUTRAGE! Gays raping children…well now, we want to be tolerant of gay people so we wouldn’t want to do anything to defame them. I mean, it’s not like they’re Sarah Palin. Another case of media bias.

8. EPA Coverup

A report circulated within the EPA was not released publicly after its findings conflicted with claims that global warming is caused by carbon emissions. Critics – including eight congressmen — say the document was suppressed.

7. State Sovereignty is Dead

A federal judge in California has issued an injunction to stop a proposed $2 hourly wage reduction of the state’s home-care workers, reductions made by the state as part of efforts cut a budget shortfall of $24 billion. What happens when a business runs out of money? Typically it lays people off or reduces employee wages. But hey, this is government right? Lunacy reigns.

6. U.S. Leaves Iraqi Cities

Iraqi forces assumed formal control of Baghdad and other cities Tuesday after American troops handed over security in urban areas in a defining step toward ending the U.S. combat role in the country. Since they’ve inherited everything else, I wonder if the Obama administration will claim to have inherited the success in Iraq from Bush? Read More→

10. California on its Last Dime

The seventh largest economy in the world is set to be penniless by the end of July. Are you liberals paying attention? This is what happens when liberalism and wealth redistribution are allowed to run rampant.

9. Winning the War

The number of Al Qaeda extremists in Iraq has plummeted and their ability to maintain a high-level of attacks has been eroded, U.S. intelligence suggests.

8. Unexpected Rise in Unemployment

The Labor Department said initial claims for jobless benefits rose last week by 15,000 to a seasonally adjusted 627,000. Economists expected a drop to 600,000, according to Thomson Reuters.

7. Obmacare Not Ready for Primetime

The one-hour ABC News infomercial “Primetime: Questions for the President: Prescription for America” had the fewest viewers in the 10 p.m. hour. With only 4.7 million viewers, it tied some re-runs for the lowest rated program on a major broadcast network.

6. Six Smart States

Lawmakers in six states are considering legislation to “protect” citizens from a federal health care plan by creating statewide initiatives to vote on whether to opt out of the national program, even before Congress has created the program. Arizona, Indiana, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota and Wyoming are considering such measures for their 2010 ballots. Read More→

Welcome to the new segment called Weekend Top 10, a collection of 10 hand-picked bits of news and information from the past week. Some of these may be top news stories while others may be things you haven’t heard about. I hope you enjoy it. Don’t forget to check back each weekend to get caught up on the things you might have missed. Also, check out the other new weekly segment titled Thursday’s Thoughts.

10. Trillion Dollar Health Care

The Congressional Budget Office released a report saying Obama’s health care plan will cost $1 trillion while his stated $2 trillion in savings will be difficult to achieve. It says the plan will provide insurance to 39 million Americans who are currently uninsured, but also estimates that 23 million Americans will be forced to give up the insurance they currently have, leaving a net gain of only 16 million people. Current costs put the total at around $62,500 per insured person, but this will likely increase as all predicted government costs do. Democrats are saying a tax on sugary foods may be implemented to help pay for the plan. Government imposed diets, anyone?

9. Ensign Admits Affair

Senator John Ensign (R-NV) admits to having an affair. Some sources hint there may have been an extortion attempt on the senator.

8. No Bailout for California

Shocking! The White House says California will have to deal with its financial woes on its own. Could this be a glimmer of actually being responsible with taxpayer money?

7. To Meddle or Not to Meddle?

Obama says we have no business meddling in the aftermath of the elections in Iran, yet he has no problems meddling in Israel by dictating that the U.S. wants Israel to agree to a Palestinian state. Can you spell h-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e?
