As God stood upon on high, looking over all that he had created, he had a burning desire to do more so he embarked upon a journey to create heaven and earth in the form of not just one planet but billions.  Upon these billions of planets he would create beings made in his image who would occupy and care for his creations.  He would create animals, plants, insects and birds that would also bring beauty to his creation and provide the beings all that would be necessary to sustain them.  He would equip each creation with its own defense mechanism as well as provide them with the intelligence to create useful tools or evolve to suit the ever changing climate.  This was and will always be a great accomplishment and one of which he should always be proud of.  This remained the case until he decided to present his idea to those most closely to him. In a meeting with all of the top angels of that time he made his presentation.  Many there were amazed and suppo...

I remember when I was in school, how great my teachers made this nation of America sound and how proud I was to sing those songs like America the Beautiful which lead me to gladly donning that military uniform.  That was then and this is now, my pride still is as strong as it ever was but my fear is now America the Beautiful is now America the Hypocrite.  Thanks to so many who seem to have forgotten what those before us endured to gift us this awesome land of ours and began to look only at themselves when it came to getting as much and amassing as much material things as they can.  They only consider others when it is convenient for them or others are blocking their way up the ladder.  They only consider others when there is something that they need done but are too lazy or ignorant to do it themselves. Classic example, in my State of Illinois, it was reported that the funds for the mentally ill was broke and that services for them would have to be cut in order ...

In an article titled “Marco Rubio defends gays, attacks gay marriage” by Benjy Sarlin, it is reported that “Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio stated acknowledged Wednesday that American history was “marred by discrimination against gays and lesbians.” But in a speech at Catholic University in Washington, Rubio drew the line sharply at marriage equality and accused supporters of same sex unions of “intolerance.” “Rubio said. “This intolerance in the name of tolerance is hypocrisy. Support for the definition of marriage as one man and one woman is not anti-gay, it is pro-traditional marriage.” Which I must admit is true; to demand that your voice be heard on the values you hold dear does not give anyone the right to ignore the same desires being expressed by another.  In this nation of so-called adults, we must remember that there are others who have the same rights and freedoms as we do and deserve as must respect of them as we demand for ourselves.  And while, Rubio was...

For those who find themselves entangled in this on-going debate about our immigration problem, there appears to be one thing that many are missing.  That is how hypocritical this nation looks as those who wish to yell “go home” and deny anyone a safe haven are the very same who appears to be singing a different tune when it comes to war. Example is look very closely at those who say that America and this administration is lacking in its response to the fighting going on in the Middle East right now.  They cite the excessive loss of life as a reason for us to step up and step in yet these very same people are singing a different tune when it comes to the growing number of illegal aliens being captured and detained at the southern border of Texas.  Is there really a different or does it depends strictly upon the person who is screaming the loudest? Can we really have it both ways?  Be gung-ho to charge into a civil war but turn a blind eye to refugees who are ...

You tell us to have faith that God will take care of all for us and never seek revenge because vengeance is the mine  saith  the Lord but you gather an armory of all types of weapons, support gun laws that say it is alright to kill and swear by the firearm you carry all while claiming to be the ultimate Christian.  How can that be true on its face when your own actions contradict it?  If you truly believed in what you preach, what you teach and what you claim, why do you walk around armed, lock your doors and hire security for your churches?  If you truly believed what you want so many of us to believe then why not leave the safety of you and your family to God. People often wonder why preacher’s kids, lawyers’ kids, those who come from wealthy families and even those unfamiliar sects like the Amish are shrinking and often act worse than those hailing from poor families.  Well wonder no more because it all comes from seeing the hypocrisy first-han...

Is it just me or does it feel like this Republican Presidential Campaign is off key? One expected a fire in the belly of those who see nothing but the destruction of this nation. The coming together of a group of Americans, more American than all the rest, stepping up to save the world, one state at a time. Instead we got a group of radicals determined to make others bow to their every whim and destroy those who were not willing to bow and say "yesa masa’. We got a Republican Nominee who was us to choose him for the highest job in the land but refuse to take the steps necessary to get the job. He wants us to hire him based on what he says on any given day but not willing to allow us to look under the hood and kick the tires. Reminds me of a used car salesman who refuses to show us the "car fax". His surrogates step to the microphone and repeat whatever lie they were given to say without regards for their own integrity. Thought we wanted people with convictions in thos...

Jake Tapper of ABC News reported on the new GOP’s war room on his show Political Punch and ended up exposing not only those manning this room but the Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus as hypocrites.   According to Mr. Tapper, “Political Punch got an exclusive look inside the committee's anti-Obama attack machine, and the space they call "the war room."   “That means having transcripts of all President Obama's speeches at the ready, and responding immediately any time there is a gaffe by a the president, vice president, or a Democratic operative.”   Mr. Priebus was quick to point out that their purpose was to hold the president responsible for the promises that he made.   Therein lays the hypocrisy because Mr. Tapper also asked if the war room was closely watching everything said by those in their own party but the question of holding them to the promises that they make was not addressed.   I often times wonder why asking for an ...

When Mark Dagostino and Brian Orloff covered the spat between Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump for People Magazine titled Rosie Slams Trump, the Donald Fires Back .   I do not think that they would have ever expected for the words captured in this story to be the proof that she was right about him.   So many quickly dismissed Rosie and some even pushed to see her fired.   The defenders of Donald Trump were proud to stand with him and had a lot to say about Ms. O’Donnell being so off base to attack such a decent man.   We do not know if he is financially bankrupt, we do not know if he is a joke but we have proof that he is a hypocrite. The article reports that “ Rosie O'Donnell had some fiery words for Donald Trump on  The View  Wednesday morning, calling him a "snake-oil salesman" following  his announcement  that he would not fire troubled Miss USA Tara Conner.     After hearing about her comments, Trump fired back to PEOPLE, calling ...
