Mourdock defeat of Lugar in Indiana presents an opportunity for Democrats and Independents

Anyone who follows politics but may not be a fanatic should know Senator Dick Lugar and how he was never afraid to compromise for the betterment of this nation.  He had the letter “R” beside his name but he was not as divisive as all those who now have that title.  Talking about someone who stuck to his principals but could find way to move this nation forward without compromising those principals, there was none better than he.

All this changed when Richard Mourdock plainly spelled out that his and those who backed him idea for bi-partisanship means Democrats coming to their view.  Image the entire Federal Government working toward voters’ depression, revoking women’s rights, dismantling the Department of Education and so many other scary ideas.  We will no longer have a government for and by the people but a government vying for the needs and wants of their largest money donors.

The saving grace is that the Republican/Tea party may have really over stepped their bounds.  While the Tea Party may have a strangle hold on one party, it has miscalculated the motivation of voters who see this country slipping into another 2010.  Motivated voters will not be sitting home as they did during the 2010 election and after the true numbers are in, the Tea Party may just finally see how strong they really are.  I suspect that after the 2012 election, minus the voter depression laws already imposed, the numbers will be huge.

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

Something to Think About Regarding These State’s Abortion Bans

  According to an article titled “The Conversation- A concise history of the US abortion debate, by Treva B. Lindsey, Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University, Published: June 10, 2019, https://theconversation.com/a-concise-history-of-the-us-abortion-debate-118157 . History has again been totally ignored and the lesson lost.   This being the case, it bears out the great need for educated people to finally diagnose history as it happens and make the necessary changes to ensure that this particular piece of history is not constantly repeated. Consider this, “While many may think that the political arguments over abortion now are fresh and new, scholars of women’s, medical and legal history note that this debate has a long history in the U.S.   It began more than a century before Roe v. Wade. As of 2019 “around 1962 the Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercially produced birth control pill, Enovid-10. Although various forms of b
