. Presidential and Immigration debate. The big issue of the day today were the republican presidential debate and the congressional immigration debate. As far as the republican presidential candidates are concerned I say none of them makes it. President Bush changed the landscape by managing to keep the liberal news media to destroy his presidential victories. He inspired, encouraged, and empowered Christians. Believers are not going to go hide in the dark just cause the liberal news m...

It is not wrong to support an ally. Right now Iraq is a country with a president, parliament, and security forces. This country’s government at any time can ask the Americans to leave. Now there are fears of all out sectarian violence and Al Qaeda interference in Iraq if the Americans do pull out. Sunnis hate Shiite and Shiite hates Sunni. The Middle East is largely divided in Shiite and Sunni. The fear is that when the Iraq Sunnis and Shiite go at it the other countries with Shiite a...

I was going to research this issue but the reality is that I do not have to. On the question of Mormons and Christians, do not judge these two religions as the same. This is what I know of Mormonism: They believe in multiple gods. They believe God was a human once from another planet. They believe Jesus Christ is the brother of the devil. Their founder said he had received direct revelation from God about his religion. They use the new and old testament, in addition to th...

I must start with my dissclaimer first. Under no circumstance are my comments about law endforcement done to encourage bad attitude and aminosity towards law enforcement officers. If you feel your rights have been violated by any cop just cooperate and when you are free see a lawyer and file a law suit. Now I will talk about the pictures. The short white baldy in these pictures came to the taxi stand where I work to ask for a cab for a person. I told him to send the customer over t...

People think I make this stuff up. On tuesday I was so exhausted that I caved in and came home for a rest. Wednesday morning when I got in to the cab to start my glorious day of business the cab was fuelless and with a dead battery. Well I did what I had to and got to the job site. After my first fare, on my way back to the taxi stand the rear tire went flat. When I took it to the tire guy, he couldn't find anything wrong with the tire. He, basically cleaned the edge of the rim and pu...

My comments for today do not requirre much thought or writing. The democrats said they were going to be different then the republicans yet they are going to waste three days on debating a non-binding resolution instead of dealing with some real issues. I think people in American get that the democrats are against victory in Iraq.

Today, I will write a short comment on Kerry’s comment on how only the President and his staff think the “surge” can work. Kerry was quoted as saying, "The only people who believe there is a workable military solution for the conflict in Iraq is the Bush administration," …. This quote was taken from the article House schedules vote on Iraq resolution written by DAVID ESPO and appeared on the yahoo news web site. I could not disagree with Mr. Kerry more. I believe that the surge ca...

In the 1990’2, mental health professionals were commenting that the fastest growing disease was depression. This increase was bigger than diabetes and heart disease. Furthermore, in a report I had to write to get credit for a college course the research mentioned that recently all mental health categories had increases in the people suffering from those illnesses. Now how can people of an affluent society be having so much trouble with their mental health? Moreover, what is the rela...

When I decided I was not going to pursue the career I studied for or a masters in professional counseling I asked myself what I was going to do so I would not die just as a miserable old cab driver? The answer I came up with was writing. I have written one romance novel that surprises no one more than me. I am not a natural writer. In fact, I had to work at writing just to barely make the grade for a bachelor of science. If it wasn’t for windows word1 I would not even be able to prod...

What would you do if you knew of a group of people who only spend their time making promises and nothing following through on their promises? Better yet, what would you do if you knew that these promise breakers actually threaten your security by thei r inaction and obsession on their own well-being? Well that is what you have had in America for a very long time. It is my assessment that terrorism is what it is today because all the politicians who have been to involved in their own pi...

This cannot be politics as usual in America. Politics as usual got the democrats elected by being anti-war and lying to the American people about the importance of the battle in Iraq. In reality, it does not matter. When the republicans where in the majority, before their defeat in Nov 2007, they were worst obstructionist to President Bush’s’ policies then the democrats. Therefore, having republicans in office does not mean that the war on terror will be taken seriously and given the ...

Some of the issues that come from military conflict are life, death, and our relationship to God. People who have repented of their sin and have Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior know that no matter what they confront, if they should leave this world they will be welcomed in heaven. One of the reasons I do not write on a regular basis is that some times I do not have anything to write. Lately, I also have realized that if I talk about anything else but Jesus Christ and salvatio...
