For quite some time now, I have been railing against the ignorance shown when we do not consider the entire story but only select that portions which best suit our purpose.   This selective choosing does not prove our point because after, as Paul Harvey used to say, the whole story is revealed, any point we think was made is completely washed away as well as our credibility and reputation.   It’s the same thing when you hear people quoting back to you Bible verses.   The ones or part of them are used to try and prove their point, it is later shown that this was not the entirety of the passage and had they read further, perhaps they would have gotten a different interpretation.   When this is done, whoever is using that passage is now guilty of attempting to mislead their audience and lie on God.   Lying on God is not a mark of a good Christian, in my opinion.   It’s a good indication that they person from whom this lie comes are doing Satan’s work and n...

The problem with CPAC is the same problem all prominent and televised group face.   Many of them are so quick to tell America what the problem is but none will tell America what they intend on doing about it and how.   America wants details and not surface dust.   CPAC had a golden opportunity to put together a list of speakers who not only reminded us what was wrong but what was right and how we can fix the issue.   If the Republicans wish to get back all that they have and soon will lose, they need to get back to solutions and stop all this fakeness.     Now don’t let the other groups get off scot-free either.   Many groups formed today are formed because they see a flaw in our system but how many of them offer anything but rhetoric.   I see few if any saying okay America here is the situation, here is what has been done in the past and why it did not work.   So now here is what we are proposing and why it will.   Convincing ...

I was strongly compelled to share this letter from a dying veteran to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney because it says everything that I have been saying for so long.   The beauty of this letter written by one of my fellow military members, dying from injuries received while fighting an illegitimate war. It was taken from an article written by djchefron titled “A dying veteran’s letter to George W Bush and Dick Cheney for Politicususa.com.   The first paragraph I would like to call your attention to is the one that says “Your positions of authority, your millions of dollars of personal wealth, your public relations consultants, your privilege and your power cannot mask the hollowness of your character. You sent us to fight and die in Iraq after you, Mr. Cheney, dodged the draft in Vietnam, and you, Mr. Bush, went AWOL from your National Guard unit. Your cowardice and selfishness were established decades ago. You were not willing to risk yourselves for our nation but yo...

Many Republicans are always talking about Ronald Regan but what seems to be lost on many who are supposed to do this politic thing for a reason is Republicans did not elect Reagan.   What you say?   How dumb must I be to say something like that?   Of course Republicans elected Reagan.   Consider the evidence. Check the numbers, when Democrats and Independents decide to really get involved in an election, the numbers are nowhere near to being close in regards to the number of Republicans voters as opposed to the number of Democratic voters.   More people lean toward Democrat or Independent thinking than the Republican way.   The Republican Party is not shrinking, its people are maintaining their party affiliations but voting the other way because right now the embarrassment is too great to brag about. Therefore I surmise the following; Ronald Reagan won because many Democrats and Independents stayed home or voted for him because there were not real...

There used to be a feeling in America, that a few groups would never have to fear having their earned benefits threatened.   These groups included but were not limited to veterans, the poor and women.   History now shows that this is no longer the case. You would have had to be blind, deaf or dead not to hear the rhetoric about congress’s assault on women.   The small government people pushing legislation which may not put government in your business but does place government in your bedroom, home and now in a woman’s womb.   You see congress, not only federal but state as well, voting to allow males to decide what kind of health care women should be allowed to get while hoping no one notices how quickly and smoothly they passed Viagra coverage for themselves.   How some religious communities are all up in arms over contraception but completely quite about the choices men are free to make about preventing unwanted pregnancies, not to mention the avalanche...

For those who say that individuals making minimum wage is unskilled and have no experience in a workforce peep this; as a mother I am a chemist because I have to mix my babies bottles, so tell me again how inexperienced I am. As a parent, I have to fix booboos which makes me a part of the medical field. So tell me again how inexperienced I am.   School days I spend most of my mornings getting the kids up and ready and out the door, that would make me a drill sergeant, so tell me again how inexperienced I am. In the evenings I have to make sense of a chaotic world and have to explain it to a four, five or six year old, that experience would make me an educator, so tell me again how inexperienced I am. During the day, I have to coordinate and prepare nutritious meals; that experience makes me a chef, short order cook, or dietician so tell me again how inexperienced I am. During the month, I have to pay bills, balance a checkbook, keep track of finances and make money stretch, tha...

The first time I heard about Christopher Dorner and his killing spree, I was glued to the television and checking all stations for some more news.   All I got was focused on the alleged shooter and why he was so wrong in his actions.   Strangely, I understood this as the initial reaction to a story like this but as I am well known to do, I trusted that some journalist would dive deeper and attempt to discover more about why someone who had spent the majority of his life defending those who cannot or choose not to defend themselves would now, all of a sudden, turn and begin to commit the acts he swore to uphold.   That was until I read this article by Sharon Bernstein for NBC News Los Angeles titled Manifesto: Alleged Cop Revenge Shooter Named Targets, Blamed Asians, Hispanics and Lesbians and Updated 5:09 AM PST.   In this article Ms. Bernstein not only reports the news but also posts as much of this Manifesto as possible which allows readers to learn a li...
