So many thousands there are, working very hard to unravel the mysteries of Obama's health care plan. And, they are doing one heck of a job! As one of the many who have read HR 3200, the health care bill in the House, I find so much to be anxious about; so much to be afraid of. However, with anger and dismay roiling inside me, I had to take a break, and just think of other things for a minute. Not that the bill itself is a travesty waiting to happen, and perhaps I should stay the course, and i... Read Full Story

Calling the role has never been easier, has it?That squishiness you hear is the sound of Republicans beating down the door of the Liberal palace, and demanding entrance into the festive party going on inside. That "sucking sound" you hear, (apologies to Ross Perot) is the sound of Republican elites, and assorted Rinos, drawing the life blood from the Republican party we once revered. The stampede has begun, and responsibility is a casualty of the mad dash to the circle of the "... Read Full Story

There was something borrowed, something old, but little new today at the inauguration of Barack H. Obama in Washington DC. For those who expected to get more, they'll have to settle for having gotten less.Let's be clear here. As inaugural speeches go, this one fell woefully short on substance, and most importantly, offered no visions for all Americans to wrap their hands, and their hearts around. The lofty oratorical skills prominently on display during his campaign, eluded President ... Read Full Story

Bet you thought I was going to dazzle you with a few utterances made by Hillary, or Janet, or Madelyn, or any of the other talented Liberals in America. No, these comments came from the mouth of a young lad of seven years. In addition to his being a bit fearful of losing some of his freedoms due to his class mates talkitiveness, he is interested in being home schooled, or so he says. I smiled at first, but halfway through the second smile, my mind turned seriously in the direction of Why Not?... Read Full Story

Today. I was struck! No, not by lightning, nor anything else so sinister, but, struck I was. I received an email offer that solicited my money in exchange for a new coin. Not any old coin mind you, but an absolutely genuine Lincoln/Obama silver dollar coin. The coin is a non-circulating, of Liberian origin, coin. The offer is dazzling, and quite persistent in it's appeal to one who might be moved to collect such a treasure.So, there I sat, struck by the striking of this magnificent coin, ... Read Full Story

With news this week from France, comes the revelation that President Sarkozy sees the following: "...from this current crisis, will a new world emerge." Of course, Sarkozy was referencing the many riotous actions occurring in many of France's cities. Cars ablaze, shops looted, and all in the name of displeasure over Israel's actions taken against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The press, although not underplaying the mayhem, did grossly under report the many events of national dis... Read Full Story

As dragons went, Puff was clearly the most famous this side of King George, but Barack Obama has caught, and passed poor old Puff by. The furor this week over Paul Shanklin's portrayal of Reverend Al Sharpton's dismay over Democrats favoring Obama over Sharpton, way back when, was palpably noticeable.. Remember Joe Biden proclaiming Obama to be "clean, and articulate"? It seems Sharpton too, takes a shower often, and he fancies himself as being articulate in a special way. S... Read Full Story

Remember President Clinton's statement: "I must get back to work for the American people!"? As impious as his claim was, the idea that when caught wanting, all one must do is to proclaim that he needs to get back to work in a wholesome manner for the "people", or the "children". Ah yes, the children. To most politicians, children are the cloak of goodness to surround themselves with, during their moments of political crisis. Whenever you hear someone, almost ...

We're down to nineteen days and counting. Let me repeat something I've said before. Let us all pray for America, for ourselves, and for our President-to-be. It is desired, and it is hoped, that the changes promised to us during the recent campaign, will not come to any fruition. Now, it is up to each of us, individually, to make our mark; to take a principled stand.The arrogance of youth may be one of the most critical things to deal with this coming year. However, the presidency, and... Read Full Story

This post will be very short tonight. There is but one thing on my mind, and, I hope, yours as well.Today, two of President Bush's advisers carefully spelled out the starting points for the presidents plunge into mediocrity as this country's president( their opinions, not necessarily mine). The president's incoming aptitude for the job was compared to Sarah Palin's supposed lack of fitness to hold such high office. To think the president would have surrounded himself with such...
