Of everything, I heard and read today what got my attention most is the stories of Martin Luther King, the civil rights leader in the 1960’s. From her beginning, America has gone through many different challenging crises. Today, it seems that many see America in her biggest crisis. The answer to some is just run and hide and everything will be okay. I wonder if Mr. King would offer us that kind of advice. From what I have seen of his life he did not run and hide. In addition, he k...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...
