I am not a fan of Bill O or any other extreme right or left wing commentator, but I catch as much of their nonsense as I can for my blogs.(sounds a bit hypocritical I know, but a necessary evil) While watching I was forced to view ads from MSN before each clip.

In our modern tech-savvy world, we have so many choices or “flavors” as I like to call them. Everything we can think of comes in a variety of styles, colors, and textures, and if we don’t like the choices we are given, we can even personalize them.

With radio shock jocks and television shock hosts, very few things are taboo these days. We grew into this state slowly, starting with the televising of the war in Vietnam, and steadily on through the subsequent decades. Just in my Thirty-Nine years I went from watching cigarette commercials to reality tv and all points in between. Some of these prog... Read Full Story

    When our new country was born, 55 of the brightest and best came together. Many were famous, such as, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington. Others were lesser known, but equal in purpose and desire. That desire was to create a new nation. A nation that would represent, and safeguard all of its people.
