The following are my thoughts on some news and rumors I have over heard the week of August 1. I have already stated in a previous article that the House of Representatives approved a very big healthcare bill in this week. Mr. Bush promises to veto it, which he may already have done. In addition, I heard during the week on a poll on the war in Iraq which states the congress has a 3% approval rating on their handling on the war. I think it has more to do with broken promises to their ba...

If you were raised right, you take care of your home. You mop and broom. You pick up, organize, and vacuum the rooms. The restroom is the cleanest room in the house. All your dishes are washed. In addition, you decorate, repair fixtures, and add new fixtures. It is your home and you take pride. When you talk to people, you talk with love about how much care you have invested in your home. You even bore some people about all the plans you have for you home. Moreover, you have the r...

The following quote is from an article on the msnbc web site which only lists the Assocaited Press as the author. The title is L.A. police to video major incidents after clash and subtitled Protest in May leads department to remind officers to stay on best behavior. "Officials hope the cameras will provide a record of what happened and serve as a reminder for officers to be on their best behavior." I find the quote interesting because we all know that police everywhere abuse and violat...

There are stories from military leaders that there is substanital improvement in the Iraqi secuirty forces. There is a story by two anti-war in Iraq peope who write that the "surge" has created a sustainab...

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD I write to share the message that Jesus Christ is the road to salvation. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son so whosoever believes in him shall not perish and have everlasting life. MENTAL HEALTH I write because I know that God has given us everything we need to live a peaceful, joy filled life, which is enjoyable, and pleasant. In addition, I believe through being grateful for what we have, realistic about our real life, setting som...

I really do not want to write this article. Today I was listening to that there are aliens in Roswell, NM radio program. I actually heard a man go on about Hillary Clinton’s breast. Apparently in some interview Ms. Clinton wore a revealing piece of clothing that revealed cleavage. Some people think she did this in order to appear sexually attractive and garner votes. Let me speak clearly and say that under to stretch of the imagination is Hillary Clinton a sexy and/or attractive woman....

Today I will write on an article tilted FBI director contradicts Gonzales’ testimony and subtitled “Mueller's statement is the latest blow to embattled attorney general, Bush” that appeared on a MSNBC web site (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19975387/) and only has the Associated Press as a author, not the name of any one specific. Now I have said that there are people in the liberal news media that have an agenda and report their news stories trying to promote this agenda. The title FBI con...

It is believed that 1.7 million americans earn $5.15 an hour. These people tend to word in fast food, hotels/motels, other restuarants, gorciery stores, wharehouse, pizza devliery and other low paying industries. Look at what you are paying now and what you will pay after the wage increase and you will see the price of hotels, rental cars, and pizza go up. Now people who are earning better than minimun wage won't have to modify their life because of these increases. However, the peopl...

Who are the people of a nation? What are these people suppose to represent? I believe that all people of a nation are responsible for the conditions of that country. Even though I am a Christian I am not dominated by the idea of the inherent evil in man. God said let us make them in our image. To me God is good and has put His goodness in everyone to recognize which is the right way and which is the wrong way. Therefore, it is not a substantial excuse to say that nothing works so it...

I keep telling people that I can use their own arguments against them. What we know is that Muslims go to their universities and Moskque to learn hatred. We also know that they believe in what they believe to the extent that they are willing to lead a "jihad" against the infidels. I wonder how people who watch the news miss this point about the Muslims. See I have never been comfortable with the distinction people try to make between radical Muslin and regular old run of the mill Mu...

The inspiration for this article is from a meditation I was having with God. The question God wanted me to answer is "if it is correct to allow the current irresponsible behavior of authority figures to continue?" The question came about from an encounter with an individual that was parked in one of our taxi parking spaces. My contention with God was that things are so bad that it is better not to get involved. When I got involve, it was as if I was the bad guy just cause I raised my ...

I sitting here thinking of what message to give the people of the world. Then I realized that it is not my world. It is not my message. The best thing I can tell you is that Jesus died for the salvation of sinners. You dont have to believe. However, your decision will determine your eternal destiny.

Todays artcle is on how president Geroge W. Bush's policies anger the liberal new media and the democrats. Mr. Bush wanted to revamp social secuirty in order to allow private citizens to invest their own money. I used a financial calculator to evaluate an invest with initial value of $500, yearly interest rate of 5%, over 40 years, and $3000 annual payments in to the account. At the end of 40 years by using this criteria the investor would have $365,919.32. Now what would you rather ...

It has been two months into the surge of military personnel into Iraq. Since the beginning, democrats have been on both sides of the isle trying to seem as cheerleaders for the troops while they trash the president. A while ago, the democrats challenged the president on not funding the troops unless the president accepted a pull out date. The president made them eat cake and the paper plates the pieces of their own manure was served on. Now the democrats and the liberal news media are...

These are my thoughts as to why the democrats are fighting the president and the republicans in congress so hard. I am writing this article on Monday July 9, 2007. There is currently a great animosity between the president of the USA and the democrats in congress. The democrats state that they are against the war in Iraq and the president’s tarnishing of America’s power with his civil rights violation policies such as domestic spying and holding enemy combatants without access to legal r...
