Why Did This Happen? 2008-11-29 00:28:00 "In my administration," Bush told voters in Pittsburgh in October 2000, "we will ask not only what is legal but what is right, not what the lawyers allow but what the public deserves." What happened to Bush that made him denounce his own paradigms? Was he so weak minded that he was easily influenced to go against his own moral values, or was he born an amoral person? His actions clearly demonstrat
To Help Or Not to Help ? 2008-11-23 02:23:00 That is the question. After trying to balance the many pro and con ideas of why the U.S. tax payers should or should not loan the Big Three automotive industrial complex more money in order to save them from total collapse. Well for me to arrive at what I think is a thoughtful answer I had to look at the big picture of government spending. I will attempt to include certain data that is pretty mu
The Wild Wordsmith of Wasilla 2008-11-15 06:55:00 In today's New York Times, Dick Cavett offers up a humourous look at Sarah Palin's use (or abuse) of the English language. A sample:
My concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the cont
Post Election Fun 2008-11-10 06:49:00 Just this morning, I stumbled across this most excellent motivational poster:see Sarah Palin picturesFor the complete collections, check out:Barack ObamaJohn McCainJoe BidenSarah Palin Read more:Election
Purely Opinion 2008-11-10 05:08:00 Now the election is over, but I don't think that from what I'm hearing from Fox news, and pundits like Bill O, Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter, and others that there will ever be anything that will lessen the divide that is etched upon the land of our people. So I guess you read the first sentence of my post and by now your saying there goes Joseph again, his party won the election and he i
A Well Deserved Victory 2008-11-07 01:52:00 Good morning to all. I did not want to begin this post with any ill will, but how it may end I can't say for sure. What I am sure about is, this will be a historic event of epic proportions, when Barack Obama is sworn into office this coming January. The election of Obama to the highest office of this country will be seen not only as racial barrier breaking sea change, but it also radiates thro Read more:Victory

Step "RIGHT" Up and Get Your Ticket, No Waiting No Lines, Step"RIGHT" Up 2008-10-26 08:32:00 Good morning all, I have to say I really enjoyed the outcome of the the neo-fascist congresswomen from Minnesota Michele Bachmann's (R) poll numbers, before she opened her mouth (see last post) she had a +13 point lead in the Minnesota 6th district race to a little known contender Mr. Tinklenberg (D), but as a direct result of her jaw flapping lies, she managed to fill the sails of Tinklenbergs sh Read more:Lines

Hatred, Fear and Division 2008-10-18 03:06:00 I guess there is no getting around the right wing political playbook without those good old reliable never fail standbys for substance and issues, instead they give you hatred, fear and division. Yesterday was a day that really made me take a deep breath and then let out a long sigh, not of relief as you might imagine. No this was a sigh of disgust and disdain. What may you ask could have gotte Read more:Division
Who Really Supports our Troops ? 2008-10-11 04:37:00 Top of the morning to you all. I am always amazed how well propaganda works. It has served both parties in the past and seems to be an important tool that enables one party to garner the vote over the other. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Hannity, Bill O'Rielly, Dick Morris you know I can go on forever but I think you get the gist of this. The right wing is always wagging the flag and Read more:Troops

Just Do It! 2008-09-27 02:03:00 If there was ever a time that you thought you should make a promise to help your country and to help your fellow Americans this is it. The history of events starting on the tragic morning of 9/11/03 to the brink of the near collapse of our economy on or near the days ahead should shake every American out of their false sense of security or that sand castle that they are living in located in the s
Will the Real John MCain please stand up, please stand up! 2008-09-24 03:33:00 I believe that now is the time for Obama to incorporate possible solutions to the every day concerns facing the average voter when responding to smears from John McCain. Obama's rebuttals should be short and concise followed by words describing the encouragement and support that will come to Americans via his administrations policies. Win or lose this race has brought to light the real men behin
Country First ??? 2008-09-22 07:03:00 We as civilized human beings are supposedly learning to evolve in a positive manner. One of the most common methods at our disposal that should aid us in this quest to attain civility, I would think would be history, and I think we can all agree on this idea. But In spite of the most obvious outcome of every single modern day war in regards to the treatment of veterans, this country has problem Read more:Country
