Nebraska Deem & Pass? LB 1110 Proved Shenanigans Not Limited to D.C.

Posted on September 23, 2010 by Stubborn_Facts

Posted by Shellinda As a couple of Americans who have spent too much time focused on Washington, D.C. and not enough within our state (but making an effort to change this), we wonder whether the maneuvers regarding a certain piece of legislation introduced last session is common practice in the Nebraska Unicameral. We suspect it […] Continue reading →

As Election Nears – This One Deserves A Rewind

Posted on September 21, 2010 by Stubborn_Facts

It’s time for some campaignin’…entertaining to be sure, but I think it’s worth a look beyond the entertainment value. This video is funny because it contains truth. The trouble is, the truth in political jokes are on us…the voters. How DID we end up with those two candidates? It’s more than a little freaky that […] Continue reading →

Middle Ground Not For Us: Time To Be Brave

Posted on September 20, 2010 by Stubborn_Facts

We’ve not spoken much about faith on this site, but the more we look at solutions to the many problems we’re confronting, we discover we can’t do this alone. In order to do many of the things that we’ve already done, it’s required additional strength. There is a bit of momentum of late – we […] Continue reading →

Nebraska Appleseed Not Happy: Judge Refuses Injunction

Posted on September 19, 2010 by Stubborn_Facts

Nebraska Appleseed is a Lincoln-based entity that seems to be on the wrong side of just about every issue limited government types are concerned about. If it costs money, grows government, facilitates the welfare state, promotes a “green” agenda, and potentially raises taxes, odds are high…Nebraska Appleseed would be for it. GiN’s “Deserving of Darts” […] Continue reading →

GiN on KLKN TV: Tea Party Movement Impact In Nebraska

Posted on September 18, 2010 by Stubborn_Facts

Lincoln’s KLKN TV contacted me Friday, requesting an interview regarding recent developments in the primary elections. The reporter, Stephanie Costanzo, informed KLKN had done a story everyday this week on the tea party’s impact and they were looking for the local perspective. Did the successes in other places in the country provide any momentum to […] Continue reading →

Politicians Do The Side Step

Posted on September 17, 2010 by Stubborn_Facts

By Shelli Dawdy In my last article, I talked about how elected officials don’t often hear from those of us who just want to be left alone and don’t want anything from government. I theorized that is likely why, by the time politicians have run for higher office such as US Congress, they are no […] Continue reading →

Politician Deafness & Other Natural Phenomenon

Posted on September 16, 2010 by Stubborn_Facts

By Shelli Dawdy Why do federal elected officials seem to be impervious to the objections of their constituents, specifically when those objections are voiced in large numbers? That phenomenon was very well illustrated by the drama that reached a crescendo on October 3, 2008. Congress passed the bailout bill (TARP) despite call ratios into Congressmen […] Continue reading →

Charity Without Government: Clinic With A Heart

Posted on September 14, 2010 by Stubborn_Facts

A GiN Toast goes to the Clinic With A Heart featured in the September 7 edition of the Lincoln Journal Star. The seven year old project shows how private citizens, churches, and businesses working together can provide for the needy within their community – without government support. We applaud the very hard work over the years […] Continue reading →

Big Brother In Your Trash. Crazy, Right? Wrong.

Posted on September 11, 2010 by Stubborn_Facts

By Shelli Dawdy Fortunately, the story is starting to get out. “Big Brother” wants to see what’s in your trash. And no, this is not a conspiracy theory. WHO is “Big Brother”? The precise composition of the snoop depends upon where you live, but in most cases, there is a single source from which this […] Continue reading →
