  • Denbo for Town Council?

    It seems as though State Rep. Jerry Denbo is running for office, but not as State Rep.

    Instead, Denbo has filed papers with the Orange County Clerk's Office for Town Council.

    Denbo will face Republican and Member of the French Lick Redevelopment Commission Chuck [...]

  • Alert

    Sources close to the Mitch campaign have told HM they expect a HUGE crowd at his announcement on Saturday, June 16th. We were told the campaign has buses lined up to bring supporters from all over the state to Hinkle Fieldhouse.



    This will [...]

  • RNC faces donor falloff, fires solicitors...

    Take a look at the article in the Washington Times where Indiana’s own, Anne Hathaway, closed down the RNC in-house fundraising phone operation. According to RNC staff members let go: contributions had declined sharply after the President announced his immigration policy.

    In Indiana, there is bi-partisan opposition [...]

  • I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith. -2 Timothy 4:7

    Many folks will confuse Jerry Falwell with other less savory evangelists. The facts are he was a man of great moral conviction and faith. He had a great vision that was fulfilled in Thomas Road Baptist Church and

    Liberty University. Whether you agreed or disagreed [...]

  • Super Stupid Tuesday...

    I find it deeply concerning that we have devolved to a point in our society that we can no longer conduct the simplest applications of a democracy.

    I hope this will be a lesson to folks in Marion County what happens when you allow one [...]

  • Government gone wild...

    TAX TAX and TAX. As I looked around Indiana it seems as though all the print media is overjoyed with the new state budget. I also thought it was interesting that most media was really impressed with the legislator’s ability to work together.

    Well, while [...]

  • The Gospel of Al: Part Deux...

    I had a few respondents doubt my post concerning the new religion of the left- Environmentalism.

    This brief article will leave no doubt that the green folks are religious zealots and Al Gore is their arch-Bishop.

    God save our sanity, we will worry [...]

  • Is The Media Out To Lunch?

    The IN state budget is a bad deal for Indiana taxpayers and it looks like most folks get it. Even left-leaning Advance Indiana was on the side of the taxpayers.

    Yet, for some reason the Indianapolis Star and their surface skimming political department has [...]

  • Lean, Trimmed, No Fat...

    The above words would all be acceptable terms to describe a state government budget.

    Robust........

    This would be a terrible word to describe any government spending. Of course that did not stop Rep. Bill Crawford from popping his collar, sticking his chest out, and boasting these words..... [...]

  • Is there an Adult in the room?

    With the end of session looming, I thought it was interesting that many in the media have forgotten Republicans no longer control the budgetary process in the House…

    In looking over the news articles from the past week, I had to wonder why there have been [...]

  • God vs. Mother Nature...

    This morning's headline of the Indy Star online was strange enough. However, I do not feel it necessary to comment on what a mistake it is for the ACLU to sue over the "In God We Trust" license plates.

    Obviously, people are not offended [...]

  • Victory for the Unborn

    In light of the recent tragedy at Virginia Tech, we are reminded that hope springs eternal, maybe with today's decision by the Supreme Court, our society has taken a step in the direction toward respecting life.

  • It's a Shame...

    It is truly a tragedy that students at Virginia Tech were senselessly murdered by a maniac.

    Mentions in the mass media surrounding the gun issue have already begun in the commission of this grisly act. The media is so dangerous at times like these spewing [...]

  • Maybe Lilly Can Build Us Some Mountains, or an Ocean…

    Is this no longer a democracy? Why do people like John Ketzenberger, Indy Star philosopher, continue to act as if big business makes our laws for Indiana?

    The fact of the matter is, places that are far more conservative than Indiana, like South Caroline and Georgia are growing [...]

    People at the Star need to wake up. They need to start looking out for little guy and being a watchdog, not a trumpet for tax and spend irresponsible politicians. _qacct="p-565IYYmjTB3Mg";quantserve(); _uacct = "UA-1381397-1"; urchinTracker(); [...]

  • The Crying Game..

    Terri Austin joined an already long list of embarrassing liberal legislators. Last night, Austin and a handful of Democrats in the House showed how completely out of step House Democrats are with everyday Hoosiers by voting against SJR 7.

    That's right, Terri Austin managed to [...]

  • I Know Those Polls are Around Here Somewhere...

    I am fascinated as I continue to watch the gay marriage debate unfold how little respect there is for the will of Indiana voters. The media seems to be in favor of gay marriage and Pat Bauer has made himself a liar to try to stop SJR-7.

    With the [...]

  • Put your Hands in the Air & Give Me All Your Excuses

    Looking at the Headline story of the Star last Friday made me feel...well tired.

    Tired of having to explain the whole gun issue over and over to pathetic politicians. The Star was simply covering the announcement of a program put in place by Indianapolis [...]

  • Monitoring the Monitor...

    HM has been posting for several weeks now and today I noticed a few blogs had taken note.

    The Hoosierpundit posted this on Tuesday:
    “The second is Heartland Monitor, blogging about politics in Indiana in general...Both are great reads.”

  • Corporate Raiding Sons of...Wait a Minute

    Hypocrisy is on display in a way that is rarely seen even in politics. Since HM has decided that pointing out hypocrisy is one of my favorite ways to fill the pages of this blog, I thought I would share my opinion on this latest double [...]

  • The Roar of the Green Machine

    I am going to set the record straight, before the media and every other talking head gets it wrong.

    Daniels is not pulling his support for the Commerce Connector for any other reason than the '08 Election Cycle has already started.

    With presidential politics [...]

  • The Last Half Measure

    When will people understand "support our troops" is more than a cute slogan for a bumper sticker?

    In looking at Indiana's Democrat Congressional leaders, I am ashamed. We are in a war against a mindless people, hell bent on destruction of freedom and virtue.

    Yet, our national body [...]

  • The Audacity of Hype

    If it was not for the fact that Al Gore is being taken seriously, his national fear mongering tour would be laughable.

    The new religion of Environmentalism has truly taken on a life of it's own. It will never cease to amaze me that people [...]

  • Dungy Shows Courage and Leadership Once Again

    Michael Jordan was once asked to back a Democrat in a run for US Senate. His response was brief but telling- "Republicans buy sneakers too."

    I think this would be the norm for most folks in the sports world who enjoy broad likability because of their athletic achievements. After [...]

  • Where there is no vision the people perish. - Proverbs 29:18

    As I read Jim Shella's blog today, it was hard to ignore the reality of how poor our statehouse leadership has become.

    As Mr. Shella points out, there is not much going on at the statehouse these days.

    Most conservatives would see the lack of lawmaking as [...]

  • Pat in a Pinch

    It sounds like Pat Bauer is looking for some help from fellow Democrats of the rules committee on the gay marriage issue.

    Bauer, made a promise during the campaign to have a vote on SJR-7. Come to think of it he also said he was [...]

  • It's phonics with a "ph"

    I have always found progressive to be an interesting word as its use in politics is much different from its literal meaning.

    Much as the term conservative has a very different meaning in the political debate; "progressives" are often anything but forward thinking on several issues.

    Our education [...]

  • Party of Choice

    No, this is not a post on pro-life politics. Instead I want to sound off on the 2008 Presidential Election. Personally, I tend to agree with Newt Gingrich that all the madness about the numerous presidential hopefuls this early on is just that -mad. So, this will not be a [...]

  • Vi not Vying.......

    Is the story about Vi Simpson not running for Governor really a story?

    The news that a senator who has been described as the leader of the communist party of Bloomington is not running is the equivalent of the Republican Party announcing Sen. Brent Waltz will not be [...]

  • Liberal Losers....

    I could not help but notice this past weekend as I relaxed and caught up on some of the national drivel that passes for news these days, that my earlier post about liberals having lost the culture war was reinforced.

    Although not given much coverage, these stories are a [...]

  • South Carolina Democrats see the light....

    Schools in the deep south have been roundly criticized for years. Poor standardized test scores and failing schools have been a black eye for many states south of the Mason-Dixon.

    I read a good article that doesn't only chronicle the story of a young man's journey, but a [...]

  • Are you sure He's a Democrat?...

    Does anybody remember Brad Ellsworth's "I am a Republican" ad this past fall?

    Well, the freshmen legislator didn't go that far in his 60 second TV spot, but Ellsworth did say that he was pro-life, pro second amendment and wanted to protect traditional marriage.

  • So many laws......so little time

    Here is an idea for the legislature, with so many bills to be poured over in this budget session, why don't you make this a law-free year?

    This measure will obviously save you time and will probably save the taxpayers some money.

    Now, I know there are some [...]

  • Wanted: REAL republican for Superintendent of Public Instruction

    The clock has obviously started in the 2008 presidential cycle, and folks seem to already be talking about what Democrat will challenge Governor Daniels.

    So, in the spirit of ignoring the '07 cycle like every other republican I thought we could turn our attention to a truly vulnerable statewide [...]

  • The silence is deafening………..

    With the Indiana House of Representatives and the Indiana Senate already having exchanged bills, it was hard not to notice that another budget session had passed without any meaningful education reform for Hoosier kids currently enrolled in school.

    Everybody agrees that our students are in trouble, but the governor, speaker [...]

  • Votes for Sale………

    This is a limited time offer on a vote for the Democratic budget.

    For the small fee of $2 M taxpayer dollars, Representative Fry will vote for the 2006-2007 Indiana state budget. Rep. Fry need not worry about the paperwork or the procedures the deal has already been [...]

  • Even the Liberals are starting to get it…

    Every once in a while, people step out and say what's right, regardless of party allegiance.

    Take for example, Steve Jobs, CEO of Mac Computers, and a big time donor to the DNC and liberal causes.

    Read what he had this to say in a column for New [...]
