Major Nidal Malik Hasan Terrorist or Treasonous   To be honest I was not shocked by this act of treason that occurred at Fort Hood, Texas.   I mean thousands of veterans from Iraq, Afghanistan and abroad as well as men who served stateside are committing suicide and coming home with problems unsolved.   Please tell me this was not racially or ethically motivated?   Tell me there were fallen African Americans and or Muslims included in this rampage by Major Hasan.   Or at least tell me the...

Do you fear God or Man?   Is this a dumb question?    Maybe 20 years ago without a second of consideration the answer would have been yes that is a dumb question, however this is not 20 years ago.   I asked a teen this question and asked for an honest answer and I was told, I have to abide by the law, but I do not know if there is a God.   I said so you fear Bloomberg more than you fear God and the answer was yes.   This is what New York City is creating non God fearing children, who know...

Be my Joneses!   It was said that it is not so much important as to what goes into your mouth but what comes out of it, which is a maker of your character.   A very good word historically used as a negative connotation is Joneses meaning basically neighbor.   It is a saying to “keep up with the Joneses.”   Suggesting that you be in competition with your next door neighbor, sort of like they by a fence and you buy a more expensive fence, they buy a car and you buy a better car.   But in...

In this latest episode of "Surrogates Gone Wild," many seem to be fixated on Civil Rights Activist Jesse Jackson's verbal desire to perform "The Nutcracker Suite" on Barack Obama's manparts . It has something to do with the senator's alleged "talking down" to black people, most likely related to Obama's call to filial responsibility speech on Father's Day and his desire to expand President Bush's faith-based initiatives program. Some think black people need to hear some tough love on this... Read Full Story
