Before I introduce myself, I want you to take a quick look at the chart below. I know. I know. It feels a lot like homework. But I promise there will be no pop quizzes at the end.
The House Ways and Means committee put together this little diddy.

I don’t know about you, but when I look at that chart I frankly get scared to death. And then I get angry. My name is Donlyn Turnbull and I am a passionate conservative blogger. I write for my own sites, www.donlynturnbull.com and www.dirtysexandpolitics.com (18+ only!) . I’m also a new contributor to www.BigGovernment.com and happily now a contributor to the quite awesome Stuffed Suits as well.
I like to describe my writing and myself the following two ways. First of all, I am fluent in metaphor, sarcasm with a nerd dialect. And if you ever read Dave Barry, I consider myself the political girl version and only slightly less cool.
In my own way, I’m standing on my soap box shouting out to the nation, “Wake up America”. Your very freedoms and liberties are being stripped from you on almost a daily basis. But the main stream media and not to mention some of the conservative media, are not painting a clear picture of the dangers our country is truly in.
I like to think of myself as a purveyor of truth. I look long and hard to expose the misgivings of the Left and their agenda. And I’m not going to rest a minute until Obama and his cronies are exiled from the White House forever.
So, I lift my glass in your honor and shout with all my might “Beer for the men (and women!) And whiskey for the horses.” Because I have a feeling that’s what it’s going to take to get us through this next year of President Obama.
Looking forward to fighting the good fight with you!
Donlyn
