Today, I will write about the importance of "property rights" of the individual in America and how small things can harm you.   This is a response to reports of Mr. Obama's comments on "tiny Iran" and about how "we cannot eat what we want, keep our thermostats at 72, and drive our SUV's. First I would like to say that gluttony has its price.  As personal concept of not over indulging, I am in agreement.  Societies that indulge perish.  Look at the no-longer existin...

I am going to tell you what is wrong with conservatives.  You do not speak with a smile in your voice when you speak. People are not war weary.  They are tired of angry complainers. I listen to Bill Bennett, Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'riely,  Denis Miller, and Hanity.  None of these people speak as if conservative is something good and joyfull.  In my opinion, they spend their timing complaining about the democrats. After listenning to these conserv...

In speaking to Israel, the president of the United States was right.  Obama, Hillary, and many democrats have espoused the idea that if we just leave the terrorist alone they would leave us alone.  Obama, himself wants to sit down and have a heart to heart with a man who calls Israel the "little satan" and the US the "big satan", who must be destroyed. What"s the matter Obama?  Didn't you know that Iran's leadership is responsible for most of the world's terrorism.  Eve...

Why is it so easy for politicians to manipulate people?  When you look at McCain, Hillary, and Obama, you may think that they are not sincere in their rhetoric.  I would say that that is a good analysis.  One of my biggest problems with the current political situation in American is that insincere people are managing to grasp the attention of voters.   Makes me wonder about the sincerity of the voter. A couple of days ago I had a conversation with two men abo...

It is important that we do not get carried away by the fever of the mob.  When George W. Bush ran for the first time there was a fever of excitement because of the novelty.  Getting carried away by the mob may mean a person does not think and make good choices. However, Mr. Bush had actual substance to his policies.  Mr. Bush and I are in sync about the direction of the country.  The president is right about retirement investment being a personal matter, not a governmen...

I plan to write two simple profiles and then ask a question. Ms. Hillary Clinton is a woman married to a "cheater" who has on occassion defended her husband for sake of politics.  In addition, she has no real values and just tows the democrat philosophical line because thats what you do when you are a democrat.  Moreover, she has no several occasions stretched the truth. Mr. Borak Obama is a person associated with a 1970's radical and a black radical minister who has had mad...

The president did not misspeak.  When he was on the naval ship in front of banner 'Mission Accomplished", the president was right.  Sadam had been removed from power and the Iraqi Army had given up the fight. The mission was to take Sadam out of power.  He was the leader of Iraq.  The war was against Iraq.  Once the leader leaves and the army stops fighting, the war is over. It was not Mr. Bush's fault that the religious zealots wanted to control the country w...

This really will not take long.  When Mr. Bill Clinton was in office I sat down and did a simple psycholgical analysis of him. It was not that flattering. A few minutes ago I watched Barak Hussien Obama speak about everything that is wrong with Mr. Jeremia Wright's latest diatribe. I saw Mr. Obama smiling to himself in what I would describe a gloating fashion.  The three instances werer as Obama came to point in his speech were he believed that his carefully crafted words we...

Do I hate gays?  The answe is no.  I think hate is a useless emotion that does not build anything positive. However, if homosexual relationships are suppose to be about loving some one and sharing your life with them, then why all the politics?  There in is my discontent.  I believe in the right of individuals to live their "private lives" according to their desires.  It is not for me to offer opinion, nor petition congress. Gays and lesbians cannot say their ...

There used to be a time that it was easy to predict political outcomes in America.  All a person had to do was see which candidate the news media spent most of its time rediculing and reporting on that candidates "integrity flaws".  For example when ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and all the rest spent almost every reporting minute reporting on "its the economy stupid" during the George H Bush vs. Slick Willy presidential campaing.  It was not the economy.  Unemployment was low and ec...

  Today, I heard some one say what I have considered idiotic for a Lawyer. This person was pondering under what authority the state of Texas removed those 400 plus children from the mothers of that polygamous sect. The following information was taken from the Texas Department Of Protective Services web site. “The law requires CPS to notify law enforcement agencies of all reports of alleged abuse or neglect. The law enforcement agency determines, separate from CPS, whether to ...

Today, I plan to write about something very serious.  For some time I have been concerned about PTSD as it relats to the soldiers who have experienced combat.  Here in El Paso, Texas there has been several incident of young soldiers loosing their lives in car accidents.  Alcohol and high speed appears to be involved in some of the accidents.  Sometimes people who are suffering try to medicate the pain substances and dangerous behaviors. To start the conversation I will sta...

What is all about?  Two days ago I heard Mr. Rush Limbaugh give the most profound monologue on conservatism I have ever heard.  For once I did not think his show was just a waste of electricity.  I guess I just don't understand the guy. However, while listening to Bill Bennett, Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Oriely, and that Beck guy I have been wondering why they do not talk specifically about the elements of the conservative movement. Therefore, in the interest of edu...

Okay, I am going to try and hit this nail on the head.  If you read your Bible, you will see were man asked one of God's prophets to go and ask God if they could govern themselves. God responded, "okay, but you must follow man's law as well as mine".  The point here is that government is a human creation made by humans to serve humans.  In the discussion at the so-called "compassion meeting" Hillary and Barak Hussien Obama attended over this weekend many invoked God's name wron...

I have said before that we live in a time where leaders of nations and people have chosen to serve money instead of quality of morality.  Ever day we see people choosing profit over  morality. I think it is wrong to impose on the president a morality that no longer appllies.  People in their purchases and investments fund the Chinese economy.  In addition, torture and imprisonment by immoral governments are tolerated ever day. China is accused of punishing freedom ...
