America of yesterday verses today and ‘the common good’. The framers of our Constitution were very explicit about not getting entangled with foreign powers. It was a profound warning and it was a foundational piece of what was to form our Republic and to lead to its success. Well many will say a... ( posted 84 days 11 hours ago.)

Our Candidates on Free Trade and its impact. Now there is an underlying truth to what is happening here in America that I believe few to none seem aware of. It is happening in Japan and in Europe leading to an import of foreign workers due to their declining birth rate. Here in America that... ( posted 85 days 11 hours ago.)

One and one is two, so why three now? Ok, one and one has always equaled two so why now do we get three? Just another way of saying we get a different answer from these who lead our government. Is it another way to say to us that our new President is going to change things that are... ( posted 86 days 11 hours ago.)

Is becoming a Third World Nation the change you expect and want? A New York Times writer wrote awhile ago and to paraphrase him, that the U.S. had a fairly broad educated workforce. However, what he stated as what has materialized is where wealth and income has fallen into the hands of the few who are wealthy... ( posted 87 days 6 hours ago.)

Men and woman of honor. Well certainly the definition of honor states clearly that it applies to a perceived reputation. A person held in good standing, a credit to society and to a profession. One who merits respect and a symbol of distinction. Usually this person is... ( posted 88 days 7 hours ago.)

Does it really matter? The following represents in table form the key differences between Obama / Hillary and McCain in a quick general view. In reality and if you are a religious or not and with strong Pro Life beliefs, you have a clear a choice as anyone will. Keep in... ( posted 89 days 4 hours ago.)

Is it a case of Hispanic discrimination? We recently heard it reported that a young Hispanic man was pulled over for a traffic violation. Now as an American citizen he was quite disturbed, emotionally and not by the traffic stop but by what ensued. While I really don’t blame him at all... ( posted 90 days 11 hours ago.)

Improvement yes, but long term? The head of the Federal reserve, Mr. Bernanke stated yesterday to the press, "At present, my baseline outlook involves a period of sluggish growth, followed by a somewhat stronger pace of growth starting later this year as the effects of monetary...

We will reap what we sow. Yes, it is evident by the TV media that perhaps Obama and McCain are the choices for each major party. Perhaps Hillary may come through even with the Obama craze. Yet, I do think that is getting harder for her to do. Now here is the kicker, in my... ( posted 92 days 12 hours ago.)

The changing of a nation. This article is about fact and not race although some will try to portray it that way. No, statement will change these types so I will continue anyway. Especially by those who do not want to address fact or truth. Yet, the truth is that the... ( posted 93 days 10 hours ago.)

Attach to a dream and then claim it as your own. Yes a "fierce urgency of now" Dr. King, Jan 1967, Brooklyn NY. It called for the embrace of all humanity with unconditional love which is the belief of all major religions Christianity, Buddhist, Jewish and Muslim. No argument here. It is what we... ( posted 94 days 10 hours ago.)

Is free trade bad? Certainly Free Trade of itself is not bad. However and that is the major point, in my opinion it can be. Now if done properly, in the open with fair and equitable exchange of goods and services and monies between nations there is no problem. It... ( posted 95 days 11 hours ago.)

$6 Million an hour, a lot of Chop Suey. Yes we are spending ourselves into debt at the rate of 46 million an hour which translates into about 9 trillion in the hole. Yes, a lot of rice can be purchased with that. Oh, if we thought about a good portion of this staying here in America... ( posted 96 days 4 hours ago.)

Beware the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing. Yes beware the wolf, a warning given by God to those who profess a belief in God. Just who are these wolves God is speaking about? Well they are all about us. Of course they always come as the angel of light and Hope and yes sadly even love. They... ( posted 97 days 2 hours ago.)

A nation torn, a nation divided = a nation in confusion. Certainly this election is an indication of the nations fragmented ideology, opinion and beliefs. It has been like that at times over many issues. It is a sign of freedom that men can have diverging views and opinions. It is a sign of greatness... ( posted 97 days 11 hours ago.)

We the people of the United States says it all. The Constitution of the United States of America "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare , and...

Immigration Solution, you decide? Part 3. Just off the press, Senator McCain, "we’ll build the fence first and then deal with the other issues". Yes, he and Senator Kennedy, Obama and Clinton and the rest of the same bunch that has run Washington for years. Yes, the same ones who tell you... ( posted 99 days 1 hour ago.)

The issue of stay here good jobs part 2. Yes, this is in my opinion the major i ssue for this nation. That is, providing blue collar and average citizens who have graduated high school or received a GED and not been able to go to college and yes even college graduates with a B.S. degree... ( posted 99 days 12 hours ago.)

Does that say it all? (Reuters) - to paraphrase- just today stated donations for presidential candidates are streaming into the coffers of these presidential candidates at an unprecedented rate. They also stated many are from the businesses that are involved in the... ( posted 100 days 9 hours ago.)

The New World Order and how nations fit. This is strictly an opinion sprinked with facts as they are and based on what is transpiring right before our eyes in the signs and symbols all about us. It certainly is not against Capitalism or the Free Market ideology, although I disagree with... ( posted 101 days 10 hours ago.)

Military Spending is the shortest way to increase profits and jobs. What better way to boast the economy with an infusion of jobs and money and still make profits go up then in using the defense industry. This is a win, win for government, big business defense and We the People. Why, well We the People push... ( posted 102 days 6 hours ago.)

Immigration part 2, Demagog or good Samaritan? In response to comments stemming from the last debate I do believe it is appropriate to answer the criticism rendered by a candidate towards people who want immigration laws enforced. Let us speak to "the rest of the story" as Mr. Paul Harvey... ( posted 103 days 9 hours ago.)

Ok, lets get real, trickle down has become trickle up. I have been talking about the Presidency not being as significant as Congress. Nothing could be more dramatically emphasized then this lame duck President as represented by his State of the Union message. Here we are but a few days later and he...

The wisdom of fools. Now that degree on the wall, your titles, your position in life and even your economic level does not speak to having logic, wisdom or capability or for that matter even intelligence. It just says you completed the course. The rest comes when you... ( posted 105 days 5 hours ago.)

The candidates and Illegal Workers verses Illegal Immigration. I continue to write to simple logic and things that by their very nature are facts. So in speaking of a key aspect of the debate last evening let me bring these facts to you for consideration and to assist in forming your own opinion. In my... ( posted 105 days 12 hours ago.)
