I don't even need ms word to write this entry. A long time ago I coined the term 'retardation nation" to describe entertainment products like Little Man and Taladega Nights. It refers to a bunch stupid spoofs done by characters that spend their time laughing like retards. Therefore, reason number one that I won't watch the so called Oscars is that American entetainment has become nothing but la bunch of aughing and drooling retards showing as much of their rears and breast as they can....

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...

I cannot be about hate. I know many of us on the conservative side may like the sport of hating little Miss Hillary dickory crock. She has lied and we know it. Even worse, she acts as if we are all living in cave and have no clue what kind of a person she is. Now, the news media likes to think they can pick and promote a presidential candidate as if they were running a beauty pageant. Of course, they could not get their candidate in on 2000 and 2004. In addition, they started out ...

In life, we have the opportunity to choose bad philosophy or good philosophy. Unfortunately, many of us choose the wrong way. I have seen how we involve ourselves in decisions just from having an idea that has to do with a need. For example, you meet someone on Tuesday at 3pm and by 415pm the same day you are engaged to be married. Another example is you have been suffering from an annoying urge to leave your job so you finally quit on the spot. You never thought about all the implic...

Today, I will write on problems in marriage do to failure to fulfill a marriage partner’s intimacy needs. First, allow me to identify what I mean about intimacy needs. I am not just talking about sex. As people, we need to make connections with people that bring joy to our lives. Here, I am talking about the connections bring joy, not necessarily the person. In romantic situations, these connections have to do with pleasure, satisfaction, warmth, love, care, affection, happiness, joy...

[Under no circumstance is the following a substitute for medical or mental health treatment. Any one experiences medical and mental hardship they cannot manage should see a treatment professional.] What do you tell a person who is suffering from serious emotional turmoil? Well you tell them the same thing you tell a diabetic or a person with heart trouble. This is that you have an illness and the way to deal with it is through treatment. The next point that is helpful is to stop sc...
