According to ABC News, the White House is once again making multi-billion dollar efforts to help out “troubled borrowers” who have mortgages that they can’t afford.
Remember when we were all laughing at Peggy Joseph when she said that she can’t wait until Obama is elected so she doesn’t have to worry about paying for her [...]

Government can force the people to buy anything
Posted: 29th March 2010 by Scott @ The Right of a Nation in General Politics, Health CareMichael Burgess, A Republican congressman from Texas, told CNSNews that if the new health care bill forcing people to have health insurance is held up in court, there will then be a precedent allowing the American government to force people to buy anything they choose.
At first glance this sort of seems like a wild complaint, [...]
Obama’s “transparent” administration more secretive than Bush’s
Posted: 16th March 2010 by Scott @ The Right of a Nation in General PoliticsWhile campaigning, Obama repeatedly said things like “transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this Presidency.”
However, that appears to be yet another “campaign promise” that he never intended on fulfilling.
Recall the exchange during the “health care summit” between John McCain and Obama recently, where McCain mentioned to Obama that [...]
Let me make a quick attempt at playing catch-up on number of the items I’ve missed while being absent from blogging recently. Getting a minimal amount of sleep and going back to work are not conducive to keeping a blog current, I’ve found.

Obama needs to “moderate his alcohol intake”
Posted: 1st March 2010 by Scott @ The Right of a Nation in General PoliticsWhat in the hell is going on here? Am I over-reacting or is this sort of a big deal? Is this a common doctor recommendation for our past presidents?

Posted: 26th February 2010 by Scott @ The Right of a Nation in General PoliticsDuring the health care summit yesterday, McCain told Obama that during the campaign he promised to bring “change in Washington” and hasn’t done so.
Obama responded that “we’re not campaigning any more. The election is over.”
Of course, McCain sheepishly responded that he’s “reminded of that every day.”
To me it sounded like Obama was flatly [...]
The Two-Party System, Bipartisanship, and more
Posted: 22nd February 2010 by Scott @ The Right of a Nation in General PoliticsSo in my last post about Scott Brown voting with Democrats, as I predicted, I wrote that “this ‘reach across the aisle’ is now leading to more and more calls for ‘bipartisanship,’ which is starting to become a term that I don’t even believe in or understand.” This is a topic that I really haven’t [...]
Scott Brown votes with Dems on “Jobs Bill”
Posted: 22nd February 2010 by Scott @ The Right of a Nation in General PoliticsWell, was I right or was I right?
Back on January 20 I said that Brown’s win is a good thing but not a great thing. And now, according to Reuters, Scott Brown is voting with Democrats on the new so-called “Jobs Bill.”
Like I said before, Brown, a Republican, winning the Senate seat in Massachusetts is [...]
Christianity, Politics, and Giving
Posted: 22nd February 2010 by Scott @ The Right of a Nation in General Politics, ReligionSo far my blog has basically been about politics from my conservative point of view. However, as I say in the About section of the site, I’m also a Christian. A lot of the time, despite the oft-mentioned “separation between church and state,” religion does play a part in politics in America, and the two [...]
