Empowerment Through Self Discovery
2007-04-10 10:27:00
Self discovery is the process by which human beings educated themselves, understand themselves, grow spiritually and intellectually and empower themselves.Why is this so vitally important? It is vitally important because unless an individual knows who he/she really is, he/she is a stranger to himself/herself.Unless a person knows his/her talents and abilities, he/she is forever crippled as a human being and subject to the whims and dictates of others. Self discovery is a process that begins and ends with you. This process, in its simplest form, is the means by which you grow and develop intellectually and spiritually. The physical you grows on its own. All you basically have to do is feed it and properly and take of it. The manner, means and method by which the physical aspect of our being grows is normally beyond our conscious control. Consequently, the only aspects of your being over which you can exercise control is your spiritual and intellectual self. Self discovery

Who Is Responsible For Terrorism?
2007-04-10 09:01:00
Asking the question: Who is responsible for terrorism is more proof the intellectual left is on the precipice of intellectual madness. Even discussing it adds credibility to the argument that the tenets of "Political Correctness" have gone far beyond tolerance. Could it be, that in their misguided attempt to be "Politically Correct", the intellectually astute have distorted their own actuality and reality and have diminished their ability to think clearly on any subject? There is absolutely nothing to decide or ponder. The terrorist are responsible for their acts of terrorism. The answer to this question now opens the door to debate as to why they are committing these unspeakable acts of brutality against innocent men, women and children. In this discussion arena, any reason is as good as any other. Such is the nature of intellectual madness.A brutal killer can now be excused for his/her dastardly deeds because of what happened in his/her childhood. Madmen, masquerading a

What Makes A Nation
2007-04-10 06:28:00
Whenever I hear the excuses some liberals and many Latinos use to defend corrupt and ineffective leadership that is proliferating throughout South America, I have to remind them of Japan, South Korea and Israel. All of these countries were poor when compared to major world powers.Japan: Japan is a nation of few natural resources. The Japanese people have always been afraid of poverty, so afraid in fact, they developed a work ethic that is so intense and remarkable that it has propelled them from a poverty stricken nation to a world power. They were a world power in World I and World War II and they are an economic power today. What international agency helped them? What UN mandate? What foreign agency loaned them money during their rise from poverty to riches? How many of them are illegal immigrants anywhere in the world? The answers are none and nowhere. The Japanese have earned everything they have.Even in America, few Japanese; if any, have ever been convicted o


Violence In The Middle East And The Sykes-Picot Agreement
2007-04-10 03:02:00
Practically all the modern states of the Middle East were influenced by the Sykes -Picot Agreement . This Agreement has caused more death and destruction than any other Middle East Document. The Sykes-Picot Agreement has literally been the cornerstone of Europe's and England's Middle East policy since its acceptance and enactment in May of 1916. The agreement was originally a secret document that was initiated by Mark Sykes - a Briton and Francois Georges-Picot - a Frechman. It's purpose was to establish territorial control and spheres of influence in what is now the Middle East and other areas that belonged to the Ottoman-Turks.The various policy positions of the French and British governments on the Palestinian and Jewish issues during the 1920s, 30s, during and After World War II can be traced to Skyes-Picot and its subsequent agreements and the Balfour Declarations of 1917 and 1926. (See: Sykes-Picot) When the French and British governments decided to carve up the Ottoman

Situational Ethics And Illegal Immigration
2007-04-10 02:20:00
Any criminal can reform and become an outstanding citizen. All Germans weren't Gestapo agents, members of the dreaded SS, brutal and barbaric to conquered peoples, or responsible for the horror of the Holocaust. However, do we conclude just because one German or a few were good, decent and humane that their crimes as a nation should be excused and ignored? Do we ignore and pardon the crimes of those who were actually guilty of these atrocities? No..we do not and should not. Situational ethics is a dangerous intellectual game. Either you enforce our laws or repeal them. Once the law has been adhered to, then we can discuss in an intelligent and forthright manner any extenuating circumstances. Not before.This is the essence of true justice. If illegal aliens were sincere in their intentions, they would confess their crime of illegal entry and throw themselves on the mercy and justice of the American people. I'm certain they would find sympathizers. Such acts

Immigration Reform
2007-04-10 02:03:00
Meaningful immigration reform has nothing to do with departmental changes that may be necessary in a time of crisis such as 9/11/2001 and creating the Department of Homeland Security. If we have able, competent and intelligent leadership in these areas, departmental confusion will end at some future time. After all, we were attacked and change is often a slow and painful process. As far as immigration reform is concerned, the first thing we need to do is create a government program to hire legitimate citizens that are unemployed and get busy rounding up every illegal immigrant in our country.Amnesty and guest worker programs at this point in time would be a recipe for disaster. What you are invariably doing is sanctioning a criminal activity. No reforms should be discussed until our current laws are enforced, our borders secure and these people are out of our country. Then and only then should we re-examine our immigration policies. This action needs to be taken for

I Receive A Bone For Every Steak You Eat
2007-04-10 00:54:00
To Newt Gingrich and his supporters. Elections in America are no longer choices between two futures, they are choices between two political parties and the ideologies of the men and/or women that have the power to impose their beliefs on others.The tidbits or rewards we receive as common men and women are the bones that are thrown to us after the steak is eaten. These tidbits or rewards are the bills that manage to be enacted into law. If we examined every law passed by both houses of congress, we will discover that someone benefited at the expense of someone else. This is Linear Thinking at its worst and is a recipe for eventual political failure. Every time we elect a politician to office and grant him/her authority over us or appoint a judge, we are risking our future, not securing it. Why is this so? The primary reason is because the vast majority of political figures, advocates of every kind and sort, and even the political parties themselves are populated wit

The Truth About Safelists
2007-04-09 20:49:00
The secret to making money on the net is no secret at all. It doesn't involve scams, pyramids, schemes, porn, casinos or auctions and it doesn't require you to be a programming wizard. Anyone with a few hours a day can generate a substantial income in a reasonable period of time. Fact: 97% of online marketers earn less then ten dollars per day online. Fact: 82% of online marketers spend over 6 hours a day peddling their wares. Fact: 4.6% of online marketers believe they can become millionaires overnight. Most online marketers use safelists and the safelist industry has become a huge "File 13". 99.99% of your email ads are filtered to bulk folders and are rarely seen by the intended recipient. Then, if you spam the mailbox, like so many online ingrates, you are blacklisted and put out of business... and you should be. The vast majority of email boxholders rarely read safelist mail. And.. I bet that probably includes you. The future of online marketing is in list buildin

The Modern Republican Legacy
2007-04-09 17:25:00
If graft and corruption are going to be the legacy of the Republican Party, it will probably drive most evangelicals out the party.In fact, the Republican Party in Orangeburg South Carolina is so inept and dysfunctional, it is an absolute embarassment. Let's see...graft, corruption, ineptitude, dysfunctionality, the "Good Old Boy Political System" and more pork barrel political earmarks than any congress in American history.Let's add more spending than the Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society". Runaway immigration, disfunctional government agencies, over 3,000 dead Americans in Iraq in a situation that is rapidly deteriorating, energy legislation that enriches "Big Oil", prescription drugs that enrich pharmaceutical companies, deplorable oversight of e-voting machines, unfair tax legislation, failed policies and programs all over Washington, DC and influence peddling.Please give me a break about Nancy Pelosi and Charles Rangel.

What Is The Real Message From The 2006 Mid-Term Elections?
2007-04-09 17:00:00
While the Democrats are basking in victory and the Republicans are reeling in defeat, the real losers in the 2006 midterm elections are the American People.The U.S. House of Representatives will return to its former theatrics and the U.S. Senate will return to a comedy of errors. There are only two real messages I can glean from the 2006 midterm elections. Message #1: The American voters put back in power the same party that flaunts its perversions, corruption, immorality, back room, back door, deceptive legislative practices and its utter contempt for the rule of law. Pundits, political commentators and Democratic operatives are keep telling us the American people have sent a strong message that we are upset over the debacle that is commonly referred to as the War on Terror, now called the War in Iraq. Therefore, they are essentially saying that we, the American people, prefer graft, corruption, perversion, immorality and a gangster operation masquerading as the D

The Importance Of Self Confidence
2007-04-09 15:55:00
From the time we are born to the day we die, we are taught to doubt ourselves, have negative feelings and question ourselves. This is totally normal. However, you must understand that self doubt will not allow you to stand out above the crowd or be truly successful. You must have confidence in yourself. Confidence , Confidence, Self Confidence is the one thing all successful men and women have in common. They have confidence in their knowledge. They have confidence in their abilities. They are confident they can accomplish any task. They are confident that hard work and commitment will be rewarding.Do successful people have doubts or negative feelings? Of course they do. How they overcome negatives in their lives is the difference. This ability to overcome negatives and obstacles naurally makes them successful, and it will make you successful. Successful people breathe and eat positives; especially when it comes to what they want to accomplish! Their positives tremendously


Write Your Own Success Story
2007-04-09 13:15:00
You can write your own success story. Your life was, is and will become the sum total of the words you have used to direct your actions, create your thoughts or develop your ideas.Your precepts, concepts, attitudes and general disposition can all be traced to the words you have thought, uttered or allowed into your life.Our lives on this planet are short. So make the most of the time you have. Whenever you become "Stressed and Depressed" remind yourself constantly that in everything you do, put GOD first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success. For those of you that have a problem with GOD, put a universe in place then I'll consider your point of view. In all that I have seen, read and experienced I know without a shadow of a doubt, there is only one GOD and his name is YHVH.If you are a Christian, do not hide this fact.

Where Is America's Comprehensive Energy Policy?
2007-04-09 12:49:00
There are only two type problems on planet earth; natural and man made. There are no others.Our energy needs are natural and man made. Natural because we are dealing with a resource we did not create.We can use our energy resources, but humanity had nothing to with the creation of oil, coal, trees and natural gases. If the availability of energy resources were our only problem, we could solve this problem very easily because there are only 2 logical courses of action.1. Develop and implement programs, policies and procedures that would limit our use and need for natural energy reserves. Or...2. Develop and implement programs, policies and procedures to deal with the aftermath in the event this could not be done. Surely, any intelligent group of people can figure this out.Since what nature has done or will do is beyond our immediate control, lets identify our collective problems. Our man made problems can be lumped into 12 broad categories. Failure to Research and/or Inves

We Should Be Angry About The War In Iraqi
2007-04-09 12:33:00
The number one reason why we should be angry about the war in Iraq is American service men and women are dying because of political expediency. We will never be able to appease radical Islam.Muslims became outraged when American soldiers entered a Masjid to search it for weapons that were being used in terror campaigns. Yet, this same Muslim community have expressed little are no outrage when innocent people were murdered in that same Masjid while kneeling in prayers. Our misguided media outlets are quick to document anything an American soldier does that might anger a Muslim. Yet, these same media giants rarely discuss Muslim atrocities. Liberals and Democrats don't want to anger Muslims either. So our young men and women take the bullets and bombs and die in the streets of Baghdad while cowardly politicians and media professionals seek ways to appease an unappeasable adversary. The Democrats lied. They said they would not "cut and run". Yet, in less than 90 days, they

How Do You Know GOD Exist?
2007-04-09 11:48:00
How does anyone know GOD exist? The mere fact that you have a concept and/or realization of GOD or an all powerful entity or force called GOD is proof of the existence of GOD or that force or entity that many call a higher power.Why? Because it is impossible to think or believe in something that you do not know. The primary reason why so many people have a problem with understanding and accepting the reality of GOD is because they have a mind that has the ability to ask a question. If GOD is...then, why? If GOD is not...then, how come? Seeking the answers to questions from an inquiring mind is a daunting task; especially when that mind demands instant proof. Let's follow this line of reasoning to its ultimate conclusion. What human being do you know.... 1. Has the ability to put an entire universe in place?2. Has the ability to hang a planet in orbit around an explosive ball of gases thousands of miles in diameter and not be incinerated by it?3. Can create and develop g


Faith Vs Reason
2007-04-09 11:32:00
No concept or precept is more misunderstood than faith. Faith can survive without reason, but it is impossible for reason to survive without faith. Every decision an individual makes is based on faith. What confuses the uninformed is the notion that faith is best expressed or explained within a religious or spiritual context. Why should any intelligent person celebrate a man or woman of reason, when reason, itself, is an expression of faith?Faith, in it's simplest form, is no more or less than a belief in an outcome. Reason , in its simplest form, is no more or less than the belief in one's ability to exercise sound judgment and make good decisions.Making a decision is an outcome is it not? Choosing between alternative courses of action is an outcome is it not? Even the absence of reason and rationality is an expression of faith. What we should be celebrating is the triumph of faith over our individual and collective doubts and fears. Everything men and women do is an e


Colonizing America Vs Illegal Immigration
2007-04-09 10:46:00
One of my readers has taken the position that America n colonist were illegal immigrants. I'm glad she did. The Europeans that left their countries and came to America were not illegal immigrants. America, as a nation, did not exist at that time. That is precisely why the Puritans, Quakers, Lutherans, Calvinist and others seeking freedom from persecution came here. No European nation would allow them or any one else to enter their country enmasse without permission. Such an act would be considered an invasion and met with military force. In addition, Protestant beliefs were not acceptable in many European communities. The Native American nations accepted the settlers until their numbers began to grow. Let's examine the facts. It was the native Americans that began allying themselves with the settlers and colonists in their wars against each other. They had no idea what they were unleashing upon themselves. The rest is history. If the 12 largest tribes had banded together aga

Our Responsibility To Our Nation
2007-04-09 09:46:00
Our duty and responsibility to our nation does not require us to become psychologist. Our duty and responsibility is to demand that our government enforce our immigration laws, because not enforcing them will endanger the lives of thousands. There are no precedents in modern history that support illegal immigration into another sovereign nation. Let's assume for the purposes of this post, that all illegal immigrants in America came from Mexico. If these 12 million people had stayed in Mexico and participated in their own democratic process, they would definitely impact local and national elections. Mexico is not a poor country. It is one of the richest in the world. Mexico, like Russia, North Korea, Most of Central America, South America, Africa, Thailand, India, and the vast majority of the remaining countries on this planet are not suffering from a lack of human resources or ways and means to generate sustainable economies.. The vast majority of these countries suffer fr

The Immigration Controversy
2007-04-09 09:23:00
According to whose statistics you believe, we have over 12 million people within our borders that are very capable of helping us, hurting us or killing us and we have no idea who they are. America does not have a controversy over immigration.Let's not get sidetracked. The vast majority of Americans have a problem with illegal immigration. Undocumented immigrants and uncontrolled illegal entry into our country hurt our economy, institutions and services. Let's go by the numbers, according a published report in the L.A.Times.... 40% of all workers in L.A. County ( L.A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births w

The Case For Justice
2007-04-09 09:11:00
Is there justice in the world? Absolutely not. Should there be? Absolutely. Why isn't the concept of justice and the truth and spirit of justice practiced more often in the world?The answer and reason are one and the same. People; and more specifically, the mind-set and ideology of people. We can add to this, the character, personality and nature of a people. The hue and cry for justice has been with mankind since he first appeared on earth.What justice was there when Able slew his brother Cain? The answer. None. As a society grows and develops, the concept of justice and the codification of justice should be thoroughly ingrained in every human being, but this rarely happens. The need for justice and its practice never changes. Justice is what we all need and need to apply in all our dealings with others. Without justice and a working implementable concept of it, we are no better than beasts clad in modern clothing. There are numerous reasons why the concept of justice is


The Iraqi Blunder
2007-04-09 09:06:00
Now that the Democrats are back in power, or should I say have taken over the Circus called the United States Congress, now is a good time to clear the air on Iraq so we can move forward on this critical issue.Iraq was a strategic and tactical blunder. If anyone can't see this, I don't know what turnip truck dropped you off. The Bush Administration keeps pointing out that America has not been attacked since 9/11. The fact of the matter is: Al-Qaida has not attacked America because they don't want to or need to. Why should they, when they are achieving their objective in Iraq? Over 3,000 Americans dead, over 20,000 wounded, and some horribly. And...perhaps another 8,000 - 10,000 will be committed to the war effort. If we stay the course without significant policy changes, perhaps 5,000 - 10,000 dead and over 50,000 wounded. Every dead or wounded American soldier strengthens Al-Qaida and the Jihadist movement. It does not weaken it. The Taliban have not been destroyed

What Does Al-Qaida, Ho Chi Minh And Saddam Hussein Have In Common?
2007-04-09 07:23:00
What does Al-Qaida, Ho Chi Minh and Saddam Hussein have in common? They were once our allies. It seems our government leaders have managed to create a history of turning on former allies. From the beginning of it's history, theVietnam War was a conflict that could have been avoided if government leaders in Europe had acted responsibly. In fact, all wars are avoidable if leaders acted responsibly. It was precisely because of France's suppression of the rights of the Vietnamese people that eventually bought Ho Chi Minh to power. Believe it or not, all Ho Chi Minh really wanted to be was a chef. He became disillusioned over the hypocrisy he saw in Western governments and embraced communism while living abroad in France. Let's briefly review the history. Following World War I, on behalf of a group of Vietnamese patriots, Ho Chi Minh petitioned the European powers at the Versailles peace talks for equal rights in French Indochina, but he was ignored. He was rebuffed first by

Election 2008
2007-04-09 05:46:00
Before we start appraising and evaluating candidates for Election 2008, we, as a nation, need to seriously consider what happened to us in 2006 and what is happening to us now in 2007. A lot can happen between April 2007 and November 2008. Even now the Democrats are flexing their political muscle and passing bills that will be detrimental to all of us. The real losers in the mid-term elections of 2006 are the American People and if we, as a nation, do not get our collective act together in 2008, our days as a great nation are numbered. Before we start looking forward to 2008, let's do a reality check of what is happening right now in 2007. Within a matter of months after coming to power, the Democrats have returned the U.S. House of Representatives to its former theatrics and the U.S. Senate into a comedy routine. Did the American voters really put back in power the same party that flaunts its perversions, corruption, immorality, back room, back door, and deceptive


What's Wrong With This News Headline?Iraqis Flock To City For Anti-U.S. Protest
2007-04-09 02:03:00
The following is an except from a recent Reuters news service article.Sun Apr 8, 4:04 PM ET NAJAF, Iraq (Reuters) - Thousands of Iraqis streamed to the holy southern city of Najaf on Sunday in response to a call by fiery Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr for a big anti-American protest on Monday.Sadr, who blames the U.S.-led invasion for Iraq's unrelenting violence, has urged Iraqis to protest on the fourth anniversary of the day American forces swept into central Baghdad. "In order to end the occupation, you will go out and demonstrate," Sadr, who accuses U.S. forces of deliberately fomenting civil strife in Iraq.Sadr, who has been keeping a low profile, called on his Mehdi Army militia and Iraqi security forces to stop fighting in the volatile city of Diwaniya and stop playing into the hands of U.S. forces who he said had stirred up civil strife. What largely began as a Sunni Arab insurgency against U.S. and Iraqi forces following the 2003 invasion of Iraq has since been tr

GOD Vs Western Culture
2007-04-13 01:23:00
This article is a response to an email I received from one of my readers. In her email, she accused me of being biased against Western Culture. I am not biased against Western Culture.I am just not into propaganda, not even America's. It's a sad bunch of folks that believe their own lies or historical renditions.In addition, if any student of history is genuinely interested in historical accuracy; rather than propaganda, he/she will discover everything I stated in my article is absolutely true and can be proven by anyone. GOD is the real power in the universe, and he is the real mover and shaker on planet earth, not us. Western Culture benefited from the influence of Judeo-Christianity not because we were better or more advanced than any other, we benefited by default because the ancient Asians, Africans and the people in the Middle East basically rejected Judeo-Christianity. Under Judeo-Christian influence we were able to advance in all the areas that really matter


Smoker's Rights
2007-04-12 11:08:00
"Smoker 's Rights " like "Civil Rights", "Abortion Rights", "Women Rights", "Animal Rights" and host of other political concoctions is a myth. Human beings have no rights except life, liberty and the peaceful and intelligent pursuit of happiness.The key words are peaceful and intelligent. The Founding Fathers got it partially right. The reason for peaceful and intelligent is because there are sadistic and barbaric people that have no concept of peaceful and intelligent and must be educated to this fact. Our human rights are inalienable rights granted by GOD not man. For those of you that have a problem with GOD, put a universe in place, then I'll consider your point of view. Anything and everything beyond these rights are privileges granted by society. First, let's deal with this issue of rights. GOD grants rights, human society grants privileges. My rights stop where my neighbor's begins. Whenever a government, by whatever means that government was instituted wit


Is Imus The Victim Of A Double Standard?
2007-04-16 07:13:00
Whenever a media personality is canned for his/her remarks or views, the old arguments resurface. You know the routine. Haul out the usual suspects and unfurl the banners. In Imus' case the usual culprits are his free speech, his personal freedom, accusations of racism, political insensitivity, morality and our decadent culture.Just like Imus has the privilege to speak his mind and select his language, other people have the privilege not to listen or criticize him for his remarks. The problem with the vast majority is that few, if any, people on earth really understand what freedom means. Far too many have this infantile notion and opinion that freedom means doing or saying anything one pleases. This is not freedom. This is arrogance, anarchy, chaos, ignorance and stupidity of the most vile, corrupt and dangerous kind.Freedom carries with it awesome responsibilities, the likes of which few are even capable of understanding. That's precisely why no one on the planet is free. No

Illegal Immigrants Causing Major U.S. Hospital Crisis
2007-04-19 21:47:00
One border state alone spent $700 million last year to medically treat illegal immigrants and a high-ranking hospital official says the toll is causing a meltdown of the state’s healthcare system. U.S. taxpayers have for years financed the exorbitant cost of medically treating illegal immigrants. In the last few years, it has transformed into a crisis that has forced many hospitals in borders states to actually close. This week, outraged California lawmakers provided details illustrating the situation’s severity as they fought a congressional proposal that would drastically cut federal reimbursement for the healthcare of illegal immigrants in their state. The mostly Democratic group said almost half of California hospitals are operating in the red and provided specific documentation of how the state’s 430 facilities spent $700 million to treat illegal immigrants in 2006. The burden is deeply affecting Americans who may need emergency or urgent medical care and mus

The Next Level Of Municipal Leadership
2007-05-30 23:50:00
The world's collective political and socioeconomic experience is still firmly rooted in Western ideologies that began their evolution during the 14th Century and has continued until the present day. I believe the Modern Industrial Era will also conclude with economic decline and deadly diseases that will ravish the human population.The emergence of Global Economic Interaction and high tech industrial capacity have rendered current political and socioeconomic problem solving strategies obsolete. Any political or economic strategy that does not incorporate Global Economic interaction as its guiding principle is doomed to fail. Past economic transitions were primarily single staged or dual staged, national or continental in their impact and scope. This new transition is multi-staged and global. Therefore, little or no empirical data exist that can accurately measure its effect on socioeconomic or political systems. A global socio-economic transition of this magnitude has nev
