All of us are here for a very short while. If we meet a person one person during our visit who can make us appreciate all that is around us, we are fortunate. Several people have commented that Mr. Ronald Regan gave the impression that if it was requirred he would role up his sleeves and defend America with his bare fist. In this time of remembrance Mr. Regan know that the value that you have taught us lives in our hearts and like you, many would of roled up their sleeves and stood sho...

The nuclear threat from North Korea and Iran and the actions of Syrian leadership are giving the perception that American security is at risk. Iran and North Korea could sell their nuclear technology to terrorist or use nuclear weapons against America themselves. It appears the people reporting on these issues want the American government to attack these countries. I say be patient, be exact about the price for attacking or supporting an attack on US citizens, apply economic sa...

Currently, us cab drivers, are in negotiatiions with the city of El Paso Texas city council. The issues are what cab drivers charge and how they are to be regualted. I know some of you like to critcize. Therefore, I would like to know if you believe that Taxi Drivers who are self-employed independent business agents should be allowed to set their own prices. Here, in El Paso Texas Taxi services are provided by people who work for themselves. We are not employees of any comapny. ...

GOVERMENT COMPASION This entry is for all who think government should care more. If you care so much about what you see as injustice, where is your non-profit organization. I see to many people saying “government, government” In my opinion, government should safeguard working person's money (taxes)and safeguard the contract (constitution) between government and the people. Instead of creating a system that makes people dependent and less likely to work for themselves by demandin...

We really need to stop listening to politicians. They speak with intent to get votes. With this intent in mind, they will say what ever they want. Moreover, most people have enough common sense to make good decisions. Where we get in trouble is when the news media starts pulling on our heartstrings by focusing on social interest stories. The stories I am talking about are social security, crime and punishment, teenage pregnancies, illegal drugs, political corruption, education, healthcare...

The Big Lie If a person came up to you in the street, confronted you with a gun, and told you to give him all your money, you would call him a criminal. When politicians tell the American people that social security is their best bet a secure retirement they are perpetrating a worse crime than getting rob on the street. The return of your social security investment is miserable. You take a thousand dollars and invest it for 45 years you are going to come out with more than $600 a month ...

I do not believe voting republican will help in the congressional elections of 2006. I see a political system that has become all about politicians lying to get in to office in order to disregard the citizen while they hustle some pay back for them selves. When I was thinking about the dilemma the American people have about who to put in congress in 2006 I can to three conclusions. One, people need to get out and vote. Two, people need to run voter registration drives. Three, ...

I some times wonder why any rational human being would get them selves involved in American politics. Let us face it. The liberal news media is going to make your life miserable. The more sad fact is the immature people who cannot think for them selves and follow the diatribe of the liberal news media as if it was the Holy Grail. I wish people had a better sense of themselves and how life functions. It seems that the pettiness of so many people keeps anything from being accomplished i...

It is sad to say it but congress is going to Mickey Mouse the immigration issue again. I have seen the American government get all vent out of shape on immigration before in my life. Usually, the “politicos” come out all angry and indignant. Then they start to see the news stories of the supposed hardship these immigrants face. After a few months they get so scared of being called heartless and loosing their office that they find a way to reward illegal immigrants. The American tax payer w...

This entry is on the current immigration debate in the USA. On all debates it is important to me to be fair and correct as I possibly can. I was born in Mexico. At age four my family came over to the American side. I am grateful they did. In my opinion Mexico has become a cesspool of corruption and violence. The politicians keep making news for how much they steal. News reporters are constantly gunned down. We keep hearing of complete American families being found tied, gaged, and sho...

I knew I would be spending a lot of time on politics. It just seems that things just keep popping up that get my attention. In addition, I do not believe that we get to spend our life just watching life as a spectator. Everything politicians do will in one way or another affect our lives. It will influence how much we can earn, learn, and do. Currently what is on my mind is a report from Focus on the Family on a woman who made claims that stay at home moms are a danger to society o...

I have been sitting in my stinky cab these last few days looking at all the people coming in from Mexico to the United States thinking if they get it. I am sure the majority of the people are ignorant of the issues of our time. Many here do have something to say. However, when you listen to them you can see that all they are doing is regurgitating the old tired democratic “your poor and you need us” lies. Of course if you ask some of these people about what is going on in America I ...
