Lt. Gen. Boykin Conservative Video and Response
YIKES!!!! Check out the video and a response by a thoughtful man in Virginia. The following diatribe was cut from a conservative email floating around the country – this is an example oof how really crazy some people are – We are not talking about a healthy think-outside-the-box crazy – but dangerous crazy. Here […]

Why Obamacare Isn’t Enough
We have been entangled in a running debate in our society about health care, the related skyrocketing costs, and how we are going to pay for them. In spite of the political backlash initially endured by the White House Administration, the Affordable Care Act, where the rubber meets the road and where the pocket book […]

Regaining Respect for the Office of the Presidency.
We, in this country, have a proud history of respect for the office of the President. We rally around those who inspire us and lead us through troubled times. We have worked to separate the man from the office, and we have been successful in the past. There have always been jokes about the President, and comedians are supposed to push the envelope, to go where you don’t expect them to go. Something has changed, however, in the last decade. Where there was once reverence for the office and a certain degree of respect for the man in the White House, there is now complacency about the treatment of the Presidency. In previous generations, bad jokes about the President would have been met with a frown or, at best, a nervous chuckle. But today, the Presidency is the bread and butter of late night routines and gets only slightly better treatment in the mainstream media.

The Romantic Tax Protest – Where Is Zorro When You Need Him
The romantic hero, the person who fights the establishment, the archetype who defends the poor, who fights the tax collector, steals from the rich to give to the poor – Where is Zorro when you need him? Where are Robin Hood, The Three Musketeers, and Jesus – all great heroes who challenged the established norm? […]

Personal Experience With Tea Bag Mentality
This is a sad post for me to write. I live in northwest Missouri – in the isolated world of simple people relishing ignorance. The reverse discrimination against education and professionalism permeates the culture. My sadness surrounds my family – a people proud of being in the lower economic class. Most of them are adamant […]

Why the Health Care Reform Bill Passed
This is an issue of public opinion, and it is an issue that has been long considered by the public and their representatives. It is a political hot potato, and the potato has landed in the hands of the Obama administration. The reason that the previous administration did not address the issue with proposed legislation is that they were fully aware that any attempt at trying to solve the problem is most likely political suicide.

Tea Bag Protesters Encouraged by GOP Representatives
Warning to readers – the following videos are disgusting examples of free speech in America. Irony abounds when the Teabaggers claim that President Obama is pushing the country toward socialism, communism, Nazism, and totalitarianism. The United States of America is a Republic, governed by representatives of the people. The people elected President Obama and the […]

Funny Obama WEB Pictures
Let me be perfectly clear – I am a big fan of President Obama. So there. Last week some Republican used some pictures he found on the WWW in a PowerPoint presentation to some Republican cash donors. The goofy liberal media jumped up and down with protest. The idea of the pictures was to instill […]

The Conservative Manifesto For American Bloodshed
The deceptive elements of evil are alive and well within the right wing conservative movement. These people worship at the alter of false Reaganism. They quote Reagan as an opponent of government, when the obvious fact is that Ronald Reagan was the head of the government. The right wing of the early 21st Century distorts the words of President Reagan to serve their own evil purpose. Ronald Reagan NEVER advocated an armed revolution against the United States of America.

The Utility of Socialism
Slow down big shooter. This writer is not a fan of socialism. Capitalism, moderated by honest Christianity, and regulated by mature government, works best. In 2008 the United States, the best example of marriage of capitalism, faith, and government, is taking great leaps toward socialism. Why – because the government recognizes some business functions as […]

Catholic Socialism
I was driving home when I heard on my car radio a minister say that “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need” was a Looney-tune idea. I don’t make a habit of speaking back to the radio, but I couldn’t help but scream, “It’s in the Bible!” Acts 2: 44-45 […]

Taxes Are Inherently Socialistic
Taxes. No one likes them, no one agrees on equal distribution, no one wants them raised – but we all agree that they are necessary and useful. How insane is that? Taxes are inherently socialistic – they inherently redistribute the wealth. From the U. S. Department of the Treasury: “The federal, state, and local tax […]

The GOP Legacy – Wars, Death, Hatred, Socialism
This is a banner year in American Politics. This is the year when the people rise up and crucify the self serving, greedy, power and control, mean spirited Republicans. That was a mouthful, don’t you think. It is written in the spirit of McCainian Anger. The American people should be angry. WARNING to readers – […]

America has lost Economic Authority
The past century saw American dominance in the world foreign policy and Economic Markets. Pearl Harbor awakened a ‘sleeping giant.’ The rise of Communism in the Far East and the spread of Socialism in Europe and other geographic areas saw an advancing economic influence of free market capitalism. In the span of eight short years […]
